Yo ho and a bathtub of rum
You know this week's local weather was extremely crazy when it's even mentioned in National Geographic News. (for the record, I rarely go to that zone so I was fine. there were huge waves that day in my village, but that weird shit didn't happen around here)
Also, while I do get excited when I hunt for Japanese fanart and there are a lot of fansites for a couple that intrigues me, since not all my ships have a strong fanbase, it's discouraging when a big part of it is OOC (illustrations I can take if they're pretty/cute enough; comics and 4koma not that much). It's especially jarring that, for at least a couple of non-canon het pairings I ship, the usual interpretation is the guy being a love-sick puppy, with the hearts, the blushing, the romantic fantasies. In short, Tamaki Suoh clones. You know, if I wanted to see that, I'd just look for Tamaki/Haruhi fanart and not, say, Ushiwaka/Amaterasu or Kyouya Garyuu/Akane Houzuki. It is kinda creepy, and I wonder if that's just some "foreign blond dude in Japan" het archetype/cliché in Japanese media I've never heard about or I'm just fucking unlucky.
