This meme kills with the KAWAII

The interests and icons [livejournal.com profile] laurus_nobilis prodded me fit into two categories: CUTE and ALIENS. And CUTE ALIENS, of course. I shit you not. Some interests will have visual aids.

Tony Tony Chopper is a character from One Piece. He's Luffy's crew's doctor. Also, he's a sentient reindeer who can speak. He's like that because he ate a freaky fruit that made him almost human (although he was already a freak among his own before that because of his blue nose). His story is really sad and made me bawl like a baby. But the point is, this guy is really cute and such a nice guy, when you get to break his shell. I love he's so smart for some stuff and so naive for others.

issun:

Looks like this when magnified. Issun is one of the three two main characters from Okami, and Amaterasu's loyal sidekick. He's really tiny -bug-sided, actually- since he's a kind of pixie (more like a koropokkur, but yeah). But don't let his appearance fool you, because he's badmouthed, pervert, bratty, cynical, and stubborn. However, he's a great character and a really good comrade. Gotta love the little bouncing friend.

okami:
WELL SHIT, I'VE BEEN SPAMMING ABOUT THIS FOR TWO WEEKS. Okami is a Playstation 2 videogame based very loosely (big emphasis) in Japanese mythology. You control the sun god/dess Amaterasu, who's incarnated as a white wolf, and basically frees the lands of Nippon of the curses caused by the forces of darkness and assorted monsters (with a PAINTBRUSH [well, and weapons too]). It's visually really pretty and shiny, although strange-looking, and the characters are made of win. Also known as THE GAME THAT ATE MY BRAIN.


His name is Kotobuki and he's one of the characters from Duklyon by CLAMP. Actually, he's the villain and came to CLAMP school to take over the world, because of his planet's traditions. He's dorky, shy, has the worst hair and combat outfit ever, and falls in love with one of his enemies. That icon is from one of those old-fashioned CLAMP crossover pics. I use it because I liked how it turned out.


GUESS WHAT, THE LAST TWO ICONS ARE OKAMI, HOW EVIL. This is Amaterasu and Issun (yeah, the green dot is Issun, that's how he normally looks like) eating apples. The official art has adorable images like this one. It also has cracktacular ones, but yeah. I found it cute, how they're sharing the apple. BFF!
Yeah, Ammy has these non-functional wings on her legs. Don's ask.


Haaaaaa. This is Waka (Ushiwaka in the original version), my crush obsession favorite character from the game. He's, um, a lot of things, but among them he's a cocky, dorky Tao master (onmyouji) and a prophet who randomly pops in to give you hints. He comes across as mysterious and sly, and in the end he has such an amount of backstory and past angst you wouldn't believe, and he's been your ally from the beginning. Soooo... this is my obligatory Waka icon.

Ahaha, I know you've been posting. But now I get the abridged version. X3 I have the feeling I'd like it if I were into gaming.

... oooh, so he's from Duklyon? I asked because he looked like Yasha's OTHER long lost brother old school CLAMP to me but I didn't recognize him.

And some day, I promise, I will haunt down One Piece and read it. Because I'm pretty sure I'd enjoy it a lot.

There's no such thing as an abridged version of Okami. The plot is simple at first, and then it gets messy, and you have to deal with time paradoxes and alien technology/magic! And you're like... WTF, wasn't this a game about myths on ancient Japan?! But really, I think you would've found the game at least pretty to look at. The art is all like a big traditional painting, it gives a lot of importance to nature, you feed animals, and you make trees bloom! :D Also, there's enough sake in-game to bring the HOLiC crossovers XD

Old-school CLAMP designs pretty much look the same XD

Oh, you will. I'll so pimp it in my pimping blog when I'm done with the CCS volumes~ At least you'll have to read the Alabasta saga, and that includes the arc with Chopper's introduction, so there.
