Journey into Mystery

1. I just got hooked to the American comic Fables. It's amazing how this can cater to my plot AND one-shot needs at the same freaking time. I love the whole mythos, the modern take on fairytales and stories -how it brings reality without dropping fantasy altogether-, and I especially enjoy the awesomeness of secondary/minor characters. I can't count the amount of times I went "fuck yeah [insert random character here]!" It's pretty good.

2. By the way, where do people download full scans of comic books, like one does with manga? I have no idea, and the way torrents handle them (like, uploading every weekly release, I think?) looks confusing. Because from a certain point, the Spaniard scans from translated volumes finished, and the scanlations are truly HORRID. So it's time to hit the original language, but I'm not into the comics fandom and don't know where to turn.

Incidentally, Western comics are so fucking expensive here, especially Vertigo series. The hell I'm paying 11-12€ for these.

3. Oh look, the deluxe cover for TRC 23. The one with Fujitaka.

*opens it*

*looks for brain-breaking*

*can't see nothing wrong. just sexy*

Whoa! It's been ages since I got this good brand of fanservice from these people! *gives single cookie to CLAMP. not more because she had seen the HOLiC schedule until December*

4. I want Peony/Jade fanart and fanfic so badly, but I don't know where to look for it. At least quality ones. Or recs. Or something.

Here we go again, Tsubasa. Because being a CLAMP fan is kind of like being a Star Wars fan, in a way. You must love to hate them and hate to love them. You coo at the same time you whine.

( BAD CLAMP, NO BISCUIT! )

Please remind me my decision not to apply for more RP characters. B-because this reminded me I want to play Soel like burning. W-we have a Clow and all ;; And the whole main TRC cast, and a Yuuko. It would be so frigging cute! UNLIKE YOU, CLAMP.

And my AJ mood theme is back, and so are my icon posts, since my domain is back online :3 Woot!

ETA: Bunny comic did a Poirot parody.

Gah, my internet connection sucks from last night. I'll try to reply to emails and RP threads through the day. Last day of catsitting, BTW.

( TRC spoilers? )

But anyway, the BEST PART: ( the XXXHOLiC Kei drama, aka HAY GAYS, YOU CAN HAS MOAR CLOW REED )

I've been trying to post this for an hour now. Stupid modem.

And of course, as soon as the computer problems end...

...THE BACK/NECK PROBLEMS RISE AGAIN LIKE A ZOMBIE. A PAINFULLY SHARP-TEETH ZOMBIE.

So I'll be MIA for some time. I'm taking a break from the computer. Like, I only popped in to tell you not to expect RP replies from me today (damn, and I really wanted to go on with the epic Tamaki cross-examination).

But really, it's a good thing the pending manga chapters were out today. I already talked about FMA 83 ♥

But I have to add something in regards of TRC 190: ( this time not that wanky )

From 7:09 (or -2:52 if you see it embeded) to the end. Although King Cobra at the beginning made me go awwww D: Sorry it's not in English, but you gotta see how cute they are...

Kung-fu dudongs~ ★___★

WTF THE SUN STAFF?!?!?

Wha-- WRYYYYY?!

(yes, it deserved its own post)

Jetix channel loved/hated me, and had broadcasted several episodes of the Alabasta arc of One Piece yesterday morning, and some of the afterwards fillers. I learned something: this arc owns me so much, even a shitty dub with horrible accents can move me to tears.

I fucking love this story, people.

One day, when I have actual time, I'll make a post comparing Clow country to the Alabasta kingdom and how much it sucks by comparison. One day...

But meanwhile, I'll spam with videos. There are no heavy spoilers for the outcome of the saga, so anyone with zero knowledge about One Piece can watch these while YT hasn't deleted them, just for the pretty.

This. This is just THE MOST ABSOLUTE WIN. A fansub group made this AMV simulating to be a movie trailer of the whole story. It leaves you completely breathless. I can't even describe it, you have to watch it.
