New layout! *[livejournal.com profile] hiragizawa*

Must be the first time the layout has something to do with the journal name. And Yuuko's prettiness pwns you.

By the way, is it me, or LJ has gone batshit crazy these days? I've seen people with really random icons that I'm sure they haven't uploaded, while there are some that won't display an icon at all. Is that a glitch?

And when you thought the FMA het subfandom is a bit saner than the slash subfandom, you stumble into jewels such as Envy/Winry or Ed/Izumi (yes, in that order). The hell?

ExpandEgyptian god quiz )

PS: Is there any native English speaker with good grip on grammar and free time who'd like to be my beta? I'd prefer them to have basic knowledge in CLAMPverse and FMA manga, and tolerance to Clow/Yuuko, Touya/Yukito (all of them) and Ling Yao/Lan Fan. Thank you ^^

My arm hurts for bad posture while sleeping. Ouch.

Meanwhile, stalking the FMA comm in search for the monthly crack new manga installment is making me depressed. I mean, why the fuck is this tentacle yaoi porn getting popular?! It's almost making me miss the lightbulb!Envy rapefics. Almost.

Poor Al. Not only his brother and half the cast rapes him: now also tentacles. And it doesn't stop with Al! They got Roy! They got Scar! They got Havok, for Christ's sake! *headdesk*

Why is this journal slowly becoming a place to whine about the FMA fandom crazies? *sigh*

Some happier thing: I finally watched Princess Mononoke yesterday. A heck of a film, that one is, wow.

And the meme a lot of people indirectly tagged me to do.

My mom bought some optical wireless mouse + keyboard. Cool? Not. The mouse hates me and refuses to work with me. Only with me. It's biased.

I'm browsing with the Tab and Enter key. I kid you NOT.

Anyway, I'm checking my Kimihiro.net email, and a person sent me a fanfiction. It would be nice, except for the fact it's not a XXXHOLiC fic. The XXXHOLiC characters were nowhere to be seen.

It was a Tsubasa fic. Even worse: a Sakura/Syaoran wangsty fic. WTF?

How many times do I have to say XXXHOLiC =/= Tsubasa? Even thought they're connected, they're different series! Therefore, my website is not about Tsubasa. It's about XXXHOLiC! And as I said in the FAQ, I'm not turning it into a Tsubasa fansite.

Of course, I had to bite my tongue, I mean, fingers, so I wouldn't tell her/him "can't you read, dumbass?" My reply was:

Hun, you're barking to the wrong tree. My website is about *XXXHOLiC*, not *Tsubasa*, just in case you didn't notice. The series are different, and I'm not publishing TRC fics unless Yuuko and/or Watanuki are main characters. Which are not, in your case. So sorry, but I think you should send your fic to other websites, not mine.

I must add I happen to have short profiles about the Tsubasa main characters for the same reason I have Clow Reed as a character: crossovers. But something involving Sakura, Syaoran and Fye (can't remember if I saw Kurogane or he was just referred) in some world, and without even mentioning Yuuko is -no- adequate for my site. Just no.

Uh huh...

I'm going to stay at my mom's until Wednesday, so I might be a bit absent. Not like some of you would mind or anything XD

Meanwhile, a couple of fandom comments:

BWYS finished XXXHOLiC volume #5, rejoice! <3 now don't take your time on volume 6! At least we can be sure the wing things can't be from Clow. I want to believe it's Fei Wan...

Another FMA WTF couple: Lust/Lan Fan. Huh? They can't never meet in canon...

What's up with the Bleach fandom and celebrating Renji's birthday so much? And with shipping fanworks, nonetheless? It's been like a week, cut the crap kthx.
taotrooper: It's a polar bear dancing the hula; your argument is invalid (Ling Yao / Awesome! / me)
...so I'll resort to FMA. Again. Yeah.

Nothing creepier than making a search and see the batshit communities popping out. Some are insane, some are hateful, some are WTF. And some are all of the previous.

taotrooper: It's a polar bear dancing the hula; your argument is invalid (Howell / WTF? / me)
I've bitched enough with [livejournal.com profile] haibara_kun and [livejournal.com profile] gingetsu on YIM about the weird FMA yaoi pairings. One of the usual subjects, as my favorite minor character is Ling Yao, is the current trend of slashing him up.

Okay, I try to be tolerant, sure. Even if Ed/Ling is going strong in fics. Because Ed is always the fandom's whore.

But the sad thing is when our pseudo-prophecies about what cracky ship is next start to come true. First, I see a couple of fangirls commenting in a fm_a post about how Envy/Ling is hot *shudders*. Then this morning I saw a crossoverish thing with Harry Potter/Ling (I kid you not). But the worse thing was witnessed this night/morning when I discovered the first (and I hope the last) Armstrong/Ling fanfic O_________o

*brain breaks*

What are we, psychic?! Who's next? Bradley? Roy? Gluttony? my money is on an Ed/Ling/Envy/Gluttony orgy

I'm back from my mom's. I'm a bit pissed off because I downloaded TC #12 there, and could also watched it there, but when I went and tried to transfer it to Alphonse (aka the mp3 player thingie, see my latest post)'s memory, I got several Windows Explorer errors for some unholy reason I can't understand and it sort of froze. My mom was near, probably making sure I wasn't fucking her computer up, and she was creeped out. So to make it short: now I'm banned from using her PC for downloading any of my crap, ever. I can't either install weird software (aka BitTorrent) OR connect my mp3 player to her hardware.

And I had to delete the raw before I could even take screencaps ¬_¬ So the post about episode 12 will have to wait, until I get the raw downloaded, again. This is the kind of episode I must point out the bishin bishuals visuals.

Happy belated birthday, [livejournal.com profile] nienna_m! ^_^ Since I'm owning you and I promise, here's the rant about the FMA fandom, female and het pairings bashing I promised you on your journal a couple of weeks or so ago as your present.

ExpandOf course the FMA females are special, you retard! )

Bleach 181: I haven't been more disappointed for this series. Kubo, why? Whyyyyyy! Now Rukia is a real pod, actually. Not that she wasn't before: she's so lame in the entire arc like you wouldn't believe.

And something else. Seen in my flist:

Starting to write for Kurogane and Fai, as there isn't enough of it out there.

...Bitch, please. It's THE yaoi couple for excellency in TRC! I counted more than 20 FyeKuro fics at the Pit of Voles, and who knows how many there are in Livejournal.

Actually, anything !(SS||KF) [read: not SS or KF, in programming boolean terms] is an underdog couple!! If you want to write KuroFye, do it because you want to and you dig them, not with that petty excuse.

And now that we're at it... 5 TouYuki fics at the Pit, all of them in the CLAMP section. I still haven't read them. I'm hoping they don't suck.

Oh, and I just discovered what it might be a brand-new badfic cliché: drunken!Fye, ladies and gentlemen! *applause* Granted, there are only two drunken!Fye fics in the pit, but this could be a beginning of something redundant.

Oh, and there's this stupid author who has made like 8 S+S songfics. I'm so close to report her, considering now songfics are illegal in ffnet... Yes, I'm evil.

Oh, and I'm getting annoyed Sakura/Syaoran shippers are shortening it to "SxS". Excuse me?! What happens when Subaru and Seishirou appear? We're soooo going to get confused. They should go through the CCS standards and ship with a + instead of an x.
taotrooper: It's a polar bear dancing the hula; your argument is invalid (Sheik / Nocturne)
Things got confusing during the weekend, so everything got behind. I was convinced to sleep over at my mom's. Yeah, they have Internet connection, but I can't go and do fandom things with them around. That's what happens when the computer is in the living room. And yes, they do speak English, all of them.

Yesterday, I followed Laurus in the Fandom Underdog thing. I made Kino no Tabi icons at [livejournal.com profile] modoki_icons. Small fandom if I ever saw one. I wanted to do a FMA's Xing colorbar and my next Clow/Yuuko kiss, but I ran out of time. Will make it later this day.

Dude, I don't know what's up with people bitching about people bitching over Tsubasa anime. I've only seen, like, three persons saying they didn't like it. What, do they expect everyone in the fandom to be "OMGSOCUTE!!1eleven"? Man, I'm surprised this haven't been featured in fandom_wank. And actually, I've BEEN attacked or told to 'chill' in Spanish boards for pointing out it's not cute at all. Honestly, I'm just being honest. And I was doing constructive criticism, because I did mention I liked their Touya and Yukito. Anyway...

Join me today as I get a katana, wear a spandex yellow outfit, and "kill Bee". Bee Train, that is.

taotrooper: It's a polar bear dancing the hula; your argument is invalid (Bleach ladies are love)
- Just because they're adapting a manga you like into an anime, that doesn't necessarily mean you can know for sure "it's going to be awesome." Because chances are, it's not. Or at least, in the best of cases, it's going to be good but not up to the manga. Granted, so far Bleach is doing a great job, but look what they did to FMA, filling it with canon Sues and Stus. I rest my case.

- My family is driving me insane.

- Google exists. Before you're going to ask the same thing 100 persons asked centuries before you joined, do two things. First, do an old-fashioned Internet search, surf through fansites and keep LJ communities or boards as the back-up plan. Second, check the memories, the rules (because some communities won't allow newbie questions, and they'd have a facts sibling comm) and the last 30-40 posts, at least. Then ask whatever you want.

- The Time and The Return do look different. Period.

- I'm a masochistic. But it sounded like so much fun! I'm doing Eriol, and Yuuko. No couples for me, because single individuals would be better to do considering the themes. Yuuko's going to be hard for some.

- I'm so bored.

- This week, most of the icontests I'm in have dropped their entry quality. Or is it just me?

- I think I'll write fanfiction this weekend. Maybe, like, now.

Ah, and it wasn't enough for them: they strike back!

I cannot believe I want the "im a newb here i want 2 make freinds" kind of posts to be back.

Well, new good reason for not to participate on the bloody sorting community. This dumbass. Guess what house is theirs? Yes, Gryffinpuff. Oh the joy. I'm NOT going to interact with that homophobic retard, thank you.

I picked up my new glasses today. Good, no more tape, Harry style. They're... not oval, but no rectangular either. They're weird. *shrugs*

I had tons of fun doing things for my second RP journal (yes, I play Eriol in both RPs, go figure ô_o), [livejournal.com profile] sheepplusharmy. I made brand new icons for that LJ, the spiffiest I could. I think they're pretty ^_^ I actually made 4, and took one for this journal, which is the one you see beside (or above) this text.

It was great practice with Photoshop.

Tomorrow is my brothers' birthday, so I'll be at my mom's place until Saturday afternoon. They're making a party for some of their friends, but they had to invite the local bully for social issues (he's some kind of Dudley-typed, only smart), so it's gonna be a mess. A handful of vulgar galician eleven year-olds at the same place as I will be *cries*
taotrooper: It's a polar bear dancing the hula; your argument is invalid (Kino / call me cute / me)
... I noticed both [livejournal.com profile] x_spinelsun and [livejournal.com profile] spinelnotsuppi are using my Suppi icons as default. They're not the same one, Laurus took the opaque and the other person I don't know the shiny. But still... amusing. Eriol's player made Suppi's icon in both RPs.

News flash: apparently, I'm unanimously a GryffinPuff. What the hell?! Intensity? Passion? Gryff? ME?! *blinks*

To tell you the truth, I can see there was a lack of Ravenclawism in my answers, but... that's because the questions didn't leave me being witty! I'm not saying they're not original, because they are, but if you see them carefully, more than half of them deal with extreme what-if situations.

In other words, they're all about action, aren't they? And it doesn't matter how much I say I'm a coward and I can't kill a cockroach, defending people is "being brave", according to them. Dude, that's Hufflepuffish to me: that's being loyal. I'm not passionate or anything, I'm just freaking moody, I get angry a lot and I can't stand people step on me. Since when that's a Gryffindor trait?

The questions didn't let my logic, reasoning side to emerge a lot. They're not accurate. That's just my personality under pressure and life-death situations, fuck. In other words, they're not sorting the real me.

Do you think it would be immature if I just stop posting on the community until they expell me for disappearing with no participation? I don't want to be a Gryffinpuff. I'm not comfortable at all with the sorting, but I don't want to wank there because they didn't sort me where I wanted to be. I'm not 13.

Fandom Laws, Irasto Corolary:
If a book series is big in Japan, there will be at least one union/webring. If you're lucky enough, after a lot of surfing, you'll get to at least one Japanese site with *good* fanart (not only doodles in oekakis, pretty stuff that makes you drool and stare.) And chances are, the links section will have a 70% of nice links.

Guess what I did today. Not study that much (it's not my fault, my concentration falls down with PMS synthoms!) I almost finish the Howl/Sophie fanlisting, and I had a urge for Japanese fanart hunting. My findings for Howl's Moving Castle:

Ruthia
Memewo
Pingos
Piece

Some of them are book-only, and others are both book and anime-based. I like the book ones better, since there Sophie is red-haired like she should be XD

Hmmm, I need to make Howl icons.

Edit: seen today in a community...
Person 2: "Yeah it is!! My fav couple is Sakura and Syaoran, but who doesn't like them?"
Person 1: "Yes!! Everyone love Sakura x Syaoran. They're just SO cute together that you can't not like them. ^_^ *squeal*"
Me: *raises hand* I do not love them... And besides, I don't think it makes grammatical sense to write "can't not", but that's just a hunch.

Of course, I didn't post that as then I would be the wanker. Again.
taotrooper: It's a polar bear dancing the hula; your argument is invalid (Eriol by me)
Dear ET fangirls:

Here's just another reason why that ship is not going to work, if you're still unsure about the usual ones (you know, like "they never talk to each other", "it doesn't make sense!", "it's so damn OOC", "she doesn't need a couple to be happy, unlike YOU, pathetic fool", "did you forget about Kaho?", "Tomoyo happens to like *girls*", "he's mentally over forty years older than her", "Spinel wouldn't like to be on tape every week", et cetera.)

If, for any reason, Eriol craves to date Tomoyo, there's an enormous obstacle by the name of Sonomi. Remember Sonomi Daidouji, Tomoyo's mom?

Do you really think she would let her precious daughter to smooch with a guy who:
a) is perfect in everything he does,
b) smiles a lot,
c) wears glasses,
d) looks exactly like FUJITAKA KINOMOTO?

Of course she wouldn't. She would kill him first. With an axe. A huge axe.

So consider that when you write your badfic.

Sincerely NOT yours,

Kirisame




... Um, now that think about it, that's not gonna work either. As a matter of fact, they are capable of killing Sonomi off, or doing a Romeo and Juliet cliché kind of story ("were gonna elope my luv!11".)

Maybe it's because I don't care a lot about the movies, but the whole "OMG Rupert must cut his hair he looks liek a girl yucky!!!1!" issue is retarded. So what if the actors' hairs don't look like the characters'? Don't they remember Emma's pretty hair, that looked nothing like bushy hair? For Heaven's sake, Lupin had a mostache! A mostache! Who cares if Ron's actor has longer hair? That *doesn't* make him girly or uglier, dumb girls!

Hiiragizawa.net is now a year old, and has a brand new layout. With no bishounen, surprise! I like it, though, this is a cute CLAMP main girl I actually love.

I changed my icons. Now I have 4 new ones, including the temporary holiday icon I'm using. Yay chibi Kamui in a Santa suit! (Where did he get the "reindeer"?)

I also made one with a Japanese fanart. I know it's a bad thing to do, but I can't restrain...



... I'm so dumb XD And he IS Clow with a Santa hat. Maybe the bag's full of empty tequila bottles and he was going to throw them out. A Santa Clow would be so disturbing in so many levels...

And I'm starting the London saga first chapter tonight, to cheer some of you up. Really. Any suggestions on the title?

Edit: Dear God, I knew most people in this community had a low IQ, but it's getting so much worse! This week it's been infested by idiot newbies who go "hi i love anime and i want 2 make freinds lolz". Argh!

Also, even though I know it's gonna suck compared to their sibling CLAMP works, I'm so anxious to see/read "Kobato (Temporary)". Even if it's just to criticize the crap out of it. Besides, even in the most mild works, I always seem to find a cool secondary character I like (Minoru in Chobits, Kouryuu in Wish...), so I'm praying there's one there, and the whole Suki Dakara Sucky will not repeat itself.

Ugh, the rain. The cold. It has begun, and that pisses me off.

At the anime Spanish board I hang out, the CCS forum is Teh Crap. Teenage girls with no brain and homophobic boys. Wonderful fandom, isn't it. The threads are frequently lame and shallow, of course. Sometimes a topic worthy of discussion comes up, or something I can deny with proves and logic, and there I show up trying to piss people off. It's fun to be cynical and sarcastic and still being ignored. The mod is a retarded 16 year-old with the mind of a 6 year-old, she writes in a bright pink colour, thinks that S+S and Purachina are sacred things and types like her keyboard is on fire. And they adore her like she's a golden calf. I'm scared of that generation, the TV really did kill their braincells.

Anyway, I found out they're doing a CCS Halloween fanfic contest. Ouch. That's what I was wanting to do for the TS challenge. Now I don't feel motivated to do the exact same thing, since they're probably doing it in Spanish, with the crappiest spelling of the world. I think I will mention Halloween, but I won't take it farther.

[livejournal.com profile] laurus_nobilis, the Soel and Larg translation is done. I'll post it tomorrow, now that you have the time to read it and analyse the C/Y crack with me.

And talking about that, I printed the Clow+Yuuko illustration and put it in my transparent folder as a decoration. And today at electronic tech laboratory, I see the cables are red and black, and they match Yuuko's outfit. Scary~! ;_;
