Journey into Mystery

Seen on Tales of Vesperia. LOL ASCH!


This looks gayer out of context. I choose Kanji because really, he's the most dateable guy.

( And one kinda NSFW because it's Mara. WTF Warning: tentacle penis with a mouth )

New FMA chapter ♥ Funny enough, I bought volume 20 today. I also got Kenshin #5 and Gintama #5-6. I'm so behind on my shounen manga.

Okay, so. Lately I've been melting in heat and playing more Persona 4. I've gotten more used to the God-am-I-too-stupid-for-this gameplay so I've had no big problems anymore. I'm starting November (OH GOD NO) and I have ten max'd s-links already. I doubt I'll finish all of them because I hate fusing personas so I can't care less about Margaret's. As long as I have my party maxed up, I'll be fine.

Right, I went today to the annual Comics Fair in my city. It's pretty sucktacular; just a bunch of stands in the park/avenue where comic/hobby stores sell their stuff. And actually, every year it sucks even more. For instance, they've changed the location and limited to one stand for each store instead of two like the first years, so that means they only bring fewer and fewer merch. I remember I bought the entirety of Clover on my first year, each volume in a different place. Now if you can find an obscure series or the number you're missing in a large collection? You're lucky.

Third, the merchandising used to be nice in previous years, granted you were expecting mainstream shounen series only (i.e, Naruto, Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, Death Note, Bleach, One Piece) and a slice of trendy. Right now you still see merch, yeah, but this year it was either obscure moe figures (srsly, I recognized none) or Western fandoms and even so few for Naruto and that (I did see some OP stuff, and even a King Bradley O_O). So this year was... pretty lame.

I did buy geeky button pins. It was some pixelate Mario Bros ones (a 1-UP shroom and a Koopa Paratroopa), the Hylian coat of arms, the Mugiwara jolly roger, a Katamari one I'm sure it's from a T-shirt, and a fanart SD Amaterasu. There was cool variety in that stand, but not much for my fandoms (I did see, however, fanart SD P4 pins: girl!Yosuke, girl!Teddie, and shadow!Naoto; sadly, they were also fugly). They make customized as well: I'm tempted, but I have no idea where to get a clear Malkuth coat of arms (what?) and I'm lazy to dig up the Gavinners' G so I guess I won't return XD

( Cut for photos I took. It includes Spiderman climbing an obelisk and Batman on top of a bank. I kid you not )

No pic of the pins because they look blurry in the ones I took.

cozyup!
the december wishes meme

Last night I've come to the realization that L'Arc~en~Ciel's "Shine" would make a kickass AMV or part of a FST for Okami. It so lovely fits.

...Oh, I've returned to that state of mind where I relate everything to that game. Damn, and here I was thinking I was less insane lately.

( Anyway. Have some photos of my smaller plushies I took for a friend. )

First of all, I just bought a new external HDD. It's like so cute and black and silent and just nice when compared to the old one. It's 320GB. I shall name it Spinel II so it matches my red 4GB pendrive (Ruby).

I also got myself a new PS2 dualshock controller. I have no idea what I'll do regarding the Gamecube card yet. I'll go to my mom's later this week and look for it carefully.

Anyway, I said I had random photos, so here they are!



There was this life-sized goddamn Batman in the Corte Inglés department store, near the toys section (OMG Wall·e plushies so cute). It's for a kids' contest, and they can win this... giant thing. Seriously. y so srs? Now, would a kid actually want a goddamn Batman larger than them? I foresee mostly entries of adult fanboys and fangirls.

Of course, what they'd do to a Batman doll? *shudders* Creepy. And obviously, couldn't help but thinking that if they really wanted to attract people, they could've given away a Ledger!Joker. God knows everyone and their mom on fandom!secrets would love to do dirty things to a giant Joker doll. S-sob ;_;

Something prettier! My bus passes by this place on the route every day. CLAMP fans would understand why I can't help but smile:



YEAH. I KNOW. (and yes, trébol = clover) Sorry about the quality, but it was taken from inside the bus and the window reflected the sunlight. I cropped the window frame and a random passerby. I have no idea what this entrance is. It would've been awesome if it were a bar or a cafe, but it seems it might be a house.

THE POKEMON MEME!

Eh, I only know the first 151 ones. B-because my brothers were fans and collected a sticker/card thing album (how do you say cromos/barajitas in English?), and they'd used to give me their doubles. I eventually bought an album of my own to paste mine. Then my mom and stepdad got addicted to this Pokémon Pinball game for the Gameboy. TO BE A MASTER, A POKEMON MASTER. CATCH 'EM ALL ON PINBALL.

Bag Meme
1. Take a picture of your bag.
2. Now dump everything out and neatly adjust them, and take a picture (no matter how embarrassing).
3. Talk about the items inside. Detail.
4. Tag 6 people. (Don't tag the person that was already tagged.)
