Journey into Mystery

Guess who was finally able to reinstall Photoshop! ♥ The first thing I did was to fix my layout header which had been done with Gimp (which I barely understand) and looked like crap. The second was to make some icons to practice and remember how to use it. The bad news is that my copy is in Spanish and I'm not used to translated terms.

Anyway, GIP. If you get this icon, you're pretty cool by default ♣

I'm also almost done with that rants meme I hadn't finished. Here are the links:
→ Character: Touya Kinomoto
→ Theory: Before 1999, Kotobuki and Erii leave Earth, take their friends with them, and all four of them have adventures IN SPACE and away from Kamui and all those angsty crazies
→ Character: Tamaki Suoh
→ Pairing: Ling Yao/Lan Fan
&rarr: Opinion: Pongamos que acaba el manga de FMA, y Greed sigue dentro de Ling. (It's in Spanish; she asked me about my thoughts on Greed still being within Ling by the end of the manga, and tl;dr I said it's going to depend on how it's executed, but I do hope that subplot gets a resolution.)
→ Opinion: TRC: the good crack or the bad crack?

And now a similar meme.

Association Meme: Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.

Databases class again. We're doing a problem about a police station. Teacher is using examples to explain why a relation was wrong. So he starts throwing at criminals and fictional policeman-detective characters.

And he goes and puts "Chuck Norris".

Teacher: *while filling table* So Chuck Norris arrests El Choni on May 5th. In description... "Chuck Norris' kick."

Me: *still dead and trying NOT TO remember the Chuck Norris jokes*

She made a Lan Fan custom Pinky doll! <3 And she's doing a Ling!

Gotta love these crazy Japanese Ling/Lan shippers.

I'm scared. I had this tickle down my spine last night, and when I went to bed, the left half of my body felt heavy and ticklish as well. What the fuck is wrong with my body? Is this normal? And today, I have to deal with at least 20 twelve year-olds at my brothers' birthday.

Okay then...

"The picture? Oh, just a little xxxHOLiC/FMA crossover involving Ed and Watanuki in frilly lolita dresses. :D :D :D"

*cries*

You? Out of BOTH of my fandoms!



Anyway... since my OTP has recently become roadkill by a certain group of people, I'll do something productive, and add more links to the Ling/Lan fanart database. Yeah, the other day I checked updates in links of one of my OTP-centric Japanese sites, so I have new ones on the bookmarks.

LOOP
This one is more girl-centric, so the collor illusts are more on Winry, Lan Fan and Mei. However, there's some Ling/Lan going on, and even a pseudo AlMei. Oh, and check the #56 sketches at the chapter blog section. Very cute.

Siesta
Not a lot to show, but it's something.

Ritoru wuuzu wuusu (Little wut?)
Great finding, this one. See, I really liked this one because not only the art is sexy, but also since it includes the Greed factor. Most of the L/L sites are still not dealing with Greedling. She has done a Greedling/Lan fanart, and a couple of comics in which she exploits possible (and L/L shippy) dialogues between Ling and Greedling.
She also does pretty, shiny, sexy EdWin.

Now that there is a translation around. ( My notes on Ling and Mei. Some of them are het shipping crap and Japanese nitpicking, so be warned )

By the way, last night I found, in a new fanart page, some Ling/Lan mini-doujin! <3 The main site is this one, but the comics are here and there.

Stupid mangaka, bringing me to lalaland while I should be studying in real life. Ah well. The advantages of the FMA chapter being so early: now I won't have to worry about it during the weekend.
