Journey into Mystery

It's *NOT* going to be the end for FMA.

I will bet to you that Hollywood producers are in negotiations for the rights to adapt the Manga and i'll bet we will get at least a live action big budget trilogy before there will be no more of FMA. And you know what? I have nothing against it. I actually think they could take the story to some interesting places. And beside, it will introduce FMA to most of the mainstream American audience..

Also.. The setting of the show/Manga is an alternative Germany, so that mean no race problem if they won't cast Asians for the roles..

...Stupid "alternative Germany" thing aside?

THERE ARE ASIAN CHARACTERS IN FMA. HELLO?

But mostly, I'd be more scared about them casting Scar as a white guy than the Xinguese. After racebending fail, I wouldn't be surprised if they would completely miss the point of the Ishval war by getting some tanned action actor. Gag!

ETA: not getting notifications *pokes eljay*

Yosh, I finished everything it had to be done for the weekend! In the end I DID apply for XXXHOLiC, by the way, yesterday afternoon.

Is it me, or this kind of comment is incredibly rude? ( OMG NO DOUJIN FOR MY NEEDS! )

Anyway, I still have 36263767 characters to comment on the past meme, plus a crossover drabble, but I'll do this one I snatched from kirarakim:

Fill in the names of anyone you know from numbers one to twelve without looking at the questions. They can be real people, fictional characters, friends, family, lovers – anyone. When you finish, click the cut and answer, then tag three people.

( ...aren't half these people blond? )

Oh, qué idea más revolucionaria! Y si Watanuki fuese reencarnación de Clow?! OMG NO WAI!!!

...

Todavía con otros argumentos, pero con ESAS palabras textuales de la traducción que sigue tomadas de los pelos? Va a ser que no. Mala elección de escenas, baby.

Todo lo que quería decir ya lo posteé allá. Siento un déjà-vu pero impresionante, y algunos de ustedes saben por qué. *pets old posts and Laurus' meiosis jokes*

True, I've only read RG Veda twice, but I really, really, REALLY don't recall seeing any Karura/Karyoubinga subtext. Like, ever.

I don't know, man. If you're not romantically involved with anyone, it's possible the most important person in your life (note: not in the CLAMP "my most important person ♥" shippy sense, but literally speaking, as in the person you care about the most in general) could be a close relative or a best friend you're not attracted to or even a pet.

This is not an anti-incest rant. Hell, that fandom in particular has CANON sibling incest (see icon for proof). It's just that I find extreme to say the couple said above is "canon" in a romantic sense, because I really can't see it. Not everybody is Setsuka Sakurazuka or "A" the psycho triplet. I mean, if you want to interpret that Karura loves her little sis that way, be my guest. But saying it's canon? Why?

I don't know, maybe it's a revolutionary idea, now that incest shipping is so trendy, that people can actually put relatives (as relatives I'll say parent-child, siblings, and uncle/aunt-nephew-niece dynamics; cousins and step-relatives and creator-creature are something else) above anyone and anything else without wanting to bang them or seeing them as their twu wub. I see Karura/Karyou as something like Ed/Al: their main goal in life is the other one's restoration. Karura fights for Karyou's welfare and happiness. But it's also that she gives me the vibe of loving her little sis also like a daughter. Single moms pour all of them into their kids. Have you seen how mothers in general, even animals, usually are when you mess with their baby? Yup, that's Karura. Karura for me is even worse than Touya's sis complex because she's raising her by herself. She's her baby.

So, you can interpret that as a Setsuka kind of motherly love or your average mom/older sister love, sure. But since when that's *canon* incest?! Did I miss something, or is fandom seeing shit that's not there?

ETA: hamsterfactor, ya pagué mi deuda contigo :D o sea que ya eres rica lol

I'm sick of reviewing. Now I have an hour and a quarter to waste. Graaaaaaaah. I want to get on with this and be FREE!

1. My layout's CSS looks a bit wonky on Internet Explorer. The sidebar is like 5 extra pixels to the left. Nnnnng.

2. Suppi aka Spinel Sun from Card Captor Sakura

I don't know if it's because I've RPed too much as Eriol, or I'm just a purist, but when I saw that I was all "bitch, no".

It's Spinel Sun aka Suppi. Not the other way around, k? That's the way his goddamned creator named him, therefore that's so not an alias.

HOLiC, I missed you ;________;

Mr. Haruka definitely increases his level of awesomeness. I'm so relieved he doesn't creep me out anymore.

Attention to this, er, anonymous comment that made me, if possible, more stressed out.

Looks like Syaoran and kuro-sama are the male and fai and sakura are female its seems like a cute kawaii yaoi love history, so cool the color paper is the proof, so cute and in XXXHOLiC domi's grandpa was so yaoi with watanuki love it

damn clamp girls hate them always make out of myself!!!! so much suspense

Domi X Wata Kuro X Fai soooo cuteee sooo fluffy

................what. There are NO words for the first paragraph. (Also how is touching -metaphorically- your grandson's love interest's cheek "being so yaoi"?!) And the fact someone is "reading" the raws of TRC up to date and thinks KuroFai are, from all things, fluffy right now, gives me a headache.

Back to the OOP practice.

Karma hates me right now. Aruba.it hates me. Nintendo distribuitors hate me. Norma Editorial hates me. With my luck, I wonder if I'll be able to find torrents for Hogfather any time soon.

But hey, cool links for you. If you can stand to read e-books on your computer, there's the very illegal /bookchan/. Which is like 4chan, but with literature instead of porn! OMG!

hamsterfactor, have you noticed Arlongpark.net HAS text translations of the SBS sections of One Piece here? I was reading up until the volume I'm in, and LMAO! It's sometimes interesting and meta, sometimes crack, and sometimes just stupid. I wish now all mangakas had fanmail replies in volumes like Odacchi. That's so unique~

And now the moment of stupidity sponsored by The Pit. Hey, my Eriol/Kaho got my first retarded review! Not a flame, though, but this fanbrat so obviously didn't read my fic.

"N after a few more days of talking they fell in love n so on n so
forth...typical...anyway hurry up n update! I can't wait 2 read ur nx
chapter!"

...

Let's go in parts, "SnowCharms":

a) And after a few more days of talking they fall in love? NO. No. Actually, no. I love how she makes conclusions from thin air. The fic is pairing-labeled, but it's going to be mostly genfic, probably with some usual tension. But NO, Kaho won't fall in love after meeting him a couple of times. That's boring. I write canon, so she just got out of a relationship and won't even notice she likes Eriol as a man until... months later, actually. Hell, it'll come as a surprise to her as well; so far she has no idea that's the guy she's supposed to meet in England. But really, it's going to take her a long time, and so far he's just exchanging information with her and earning her trust, and later they'll become friends. Most of the future chapter ideas are of the gen variety, some with sillyness and some with tl;dr conversations. But I'm not going to have Kaho drooling over Eriol's awesomeness that blatantly. She may think "hee, he's so strange/wise/kind/crazy" but not "OMG HAWT I WUB HIM SO MUCH! PLZ LOVE ME BACK and not Tomoyo WOE ANGST *emo lyrics go here*".
The whole point is: just because 95% of the Pit authors are predictable it doesn't mean all of them are going to do things the easy way. My story is slow, my story will end as soon as I feel the canon timeline should start (so no cheesy dates and snogging would happen because duh), and the fact you assume I'll have her after his pants two weeks after he meets him offends me a lot.

b) I'm not accepting a "typical" label from someone with this crap in her favorite list of fics. Excuse me if I take "typical" from you as a compliment, because you sure like OOC/AU pieces of garbage in your reads. So yes, I'd prefer boring and IC before "atypical" and "...wait, who are these people again?"

Tomoyo!!! Es preciosisisisisma con su pelo laaargo y tan dulcee ^o^

This week is the comic fair in my city. Think of it as a sort of convention, but really small and held outdoors. In the middle of the street. Yeah, weird. inouekun and I went yesterday, but the stands weren't done in the morning, so we came back today and had fun.

My boughts:
- CLAMP no Kiseki #5 (and with this, I fill my gap). No #10 yet for me D:
- Duklyon #2 (I MUST make a separate post about it!)
- Fruits Basket #11 (and with this, I'm up to date)

We saw a huge anime!white Mokona plush in one of the stands (the velvet one I find ugly and creepy; Smurfs-like creepy). They also had some plushie keyrings for TRC characters. I craved the Kurogane plushie, but I couldn't afford it. Woe is me ;_;

This year it was all about Bleach. We were not surprised at ALL. Actually, we were betting on it.

An asshat talking about Tomoyo-shipping:

o, and another thing ....why so many comments about Sakura...i know she's in love with her and i won't deny it TOT....but...my opinion is that Tomoyo is too delicate and and gentle and feminine to be with another woman ....i mean

Emphasis is NOT mine, actually.

Can I recluit Michiru from Sailor Moon to kick this guy's ass? Good LORD.
