Complaining works! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! My Tsuioku no Jade volumes arrived yesterday! ♥
Man, why is this an AU? Because yes, it is an AU. I can go and take metacanon as personal canon (i.e, Tales of Fandom) if they don't interfere with the original canon. This, however, completely rewrites the Nebilim sidequest. It's a pity because the flashbacks are really spiffy.
I won't comment on chapters 1-3 since they're already scanned and translated. And I can't read Japanese beyond katakana so I don't get the dialog :(
( What's in the rest of volume 1? )
I'll make a summary of volume 2 later. It's not bad, but it is rather different.

Are you happy? Are you satisfied?
Apr. 7th, 2009 02:58 pmPosted the Natsume Yuujinchou screencaps here. It took a lot of work to upload them, but if this means people making good icons then I'll be satisfied.
I think I should screencap more stuff since it's so easy with the batch function. I might do Mushishi and/or Kino since I have the DVDs. What do you guys think?
I hope FMA is out early this month. The anime hype and seeing Hughes is strongly reminding me of the epicness to come in this issue. Asgdfghafdhg.
I'm also really pumped for Tsuioku no Jade, which will be out around the 24th. I swear, if nobody is scanning the magazine raw, I'll cry. I want to see this so bad.
...So basically, it all comes down to Colonel Badass fest. In both fandoms.
And now for that "pick 5 icons and I'll explain them meme".
( I'm having déjà-vu; didn't I do a couple of these more than once already? )

Apr. 2nd, 2009 11:42 pmIf anyone from the latest friending meme passes by, hi and welcome ^^
Good news, everyone: there's nothing wrong with me, apparently. It means I'm either crazy or hypochondriac. That's... special right there. At least I haven't hurt in days now, so it must be gone now.
In news that nobody else cares about: I can finally cast Indignation in ToA! It took aaaaages. I have a special relationship with Indignation, see. In ToS, on my first playthrough I was so underleveled Genis didn't learned the fucking thing until the last dungeon, barely in time for the final battle with Yggdrassil. But yeah, now Jade can do the most badass Mystic Arte and that's what counts :D
( More 'give me a character' memeage. Rakushun and the Medicine Seller )

Something to add to the chocolate post because I didn't know at that moment: I usually enjoy 52%-cocoa dark chocolate from that same brand. 70-something% is already a bit too bitter to me. Therefore, no wonder 99% tasted like feet. It's not a taste I'm able to like.
Okay, now shutting up about chocolate.
I didn't post about this month's FMA? Mmm, perhaps I don't even know where to start, but either way, I'm surprised Arakawa can actually outdo herself in epic levels in every chapter. This fight with Roy will be sweet :D
Oh, incidentally, I've come to a conclusion.
Or maybe not, but the fact I was amazed by the badassery coming from Roy Mustang and Jade Curtiss this week (both of them colonels) can't be a coincidence. Or maybe they're just even more of special snowflakes than we already thought they were. And that's saying something.
I've found out that you can get different cutscenes during the final battle at Abyss if you change your party. And man, Jade's alternative ending? (warning: obviously spoilers) BADASS. I even think I squeed from the awesomeness. The fact they had him with the sexy Battle Master outfit made it even morepretty epic.
Ah, and I got a wheel of new blank DVD-, and successfully burned ICO. I'll try my way on a day I have enough patience and time to chill out.
( speaking of wheels, Tarot meme (the revenge) )

The Taisa Theorem
For a main character who's not the protagonist, if they're a military person with the rank of colonel, then they have a high probability to be the most badass motherfucker from the good guys by default.
