This has been a Shitty Day, but something amusing came out of this on lab class.
While Tales of Graces does look like it'll be shiny, I wish the characters would look more charismatic. I read the descriptions and few backstory that's out, and I don't really feel much interested in any of them. Especially the girls, man: the main one sounds incredibly annoying and cliche, the butler's daughter while cute so far is only love triangle fodder, and the mage girl sounds like a genki ripoff of Rita. And what's left with the males? Mentor that might or not be evil (AGAIN, NAMCO?), stern megane guy, and pretty foppish prince. Just barely more tolerable, yet still not that cool. Asbel's basic plot sounds pretty neat, but I get the feeling I'll end up hating it as soon as he gets more involved with whatever Sophie is into.
Ah, very important!! I'll try to make an icon post somewhere this week. Any suggestions? Any requests? Any images you want to give me (that aren't porn or random fanart you picked on pixiv/4chan)? I did a request post at my
icondork a long time ago, but either I'm too lame and no one cared, or I was too strict. Oh well, I mustn't feel bad about it. Anyway, I have very few pending requests to do, so I might as well do something pretty (or as pretty as I can) for either of you guys.
ETA: Note to self. Stop doing LJ accounts for your shiny new RP muses, when you're still too intimidated and busy to join anything. Somehow I suspect you just want to see if any canonmate poke you at dear_mun, and then feel sad that everyone -even you- forgot all about it the next morning.
Professor: ...So you make the .jar file like this, and later you can find it in the dist folder of the project. *shows, inded, a folder called like that*I mean, I know it must be short for distribution or distro or whatever, but my mind went automatically to Saphir Neis. At least I'll never forget where the .jars will be?
Me: ...Fff.

And I couldn't agree more about the girls in Graces: Sophie is spectacularly boring and that Pascal girl is a total Rita rip-off. I'm a bit more forgiving with regards to the guys, though. I don't think Richard is all that he appears to be - I mean, peace-loving princes are good and all, but the position of Captain Morality has already been filled by Asbel. Hubert seems to be a pretty great character, too, though I secretly think he's the forbidden lovechild of Jade and Legretta.

RunnyRose is and how totally sorry Jade will feel when he resurrects the professor, and how hawt the make-up sex would be? XD So, basically fanfic.I kind of want to give Hubert and Richard more credit, because they have the potential and all, but there's so little info yet and they could also be just as cliche. There's also the fact I'm too used to Takumi Miyajima's scripts and that I haven't been that into Tales games that weren't written by him/her.
That, and that I crack up when I see those two on the trailers XD One is Ninja Jade Jr, the other has the ridiculous flowing cape all woosh.

I still play a lot, just... in a Spanish-speaking game that's in Insanejournal. English RP fandom scares the shit out of me :(
no subject
Maybe you should move the muses to insanejournal and play them there?
no subject
Ah, I already do that! (except for one of them; I already play the other character from that fandom I like) And my friends in that game are easy-going and fun, too. But sometimes I get envious I can't play with certain castmates, or post in a DR if I feel like it, or jump at my flist's open RP posts because the accounts aren't LJ. Pros and cons, I guess.

I'd always appreciate more Yotsuba and Tegami Bachi icons, myself.
no subject
Ah, I don't think I have images of any of those on my hard drive. Any suggestion on a particular picture/scene? (I think I've only read like four-five volumes of Yotsubato)
no subject
So far as Tegami Bachi goes, though, it's been difficult to find high quality scans of the colored manga illustrations. Random Curiosity has fairly large screencaps of the animated series, the second and third episodes of which look better than the first. I hope those work out for you, and thank you!
