swim through the fires to stay in this world

gacked from lalita_b too long ago.

Comment to this post and I will ask you about three top 5(s) (ships, songs, non-canon ships, movies, characters etc etc... whatever) that I would like to see you post about. I was asked about my top 5 characters I hate, top 5 fictional crushes and top 5 favorite anime openings

Top 5 Crushes:

( I Wouldn't Kick Them Out Of Bed For Eating Crackers )

Top 5 Most Hated Characters:

( DIAF, You BASTARDS! )

Top 5 anime openings

I was actually thinking this was going to be harder than it was. Typically, I hate anime openings (I think I sat through FMA's once, and then never again, and Naruto's makes me want to stab my ears out). However, it turns out that there are several openings that are awesome:

( The Flying Pussyfoot Departs.... )

Since I decided to do naruto_wishlist , I thought now would be a good time to do a post I'm been wanted to do forever: a list of some of my bulletproof kinks.

(some of these are directly stolen from musesfool )

[ETA: also, these are all things I look for across fandoms, they're not Naruto specific.]

Thank god mom has a computer is all I'm saying.

This is also gacked from the_sun_is_up (she seems to have the best memes lately) and I kept the manga theme she had going on.

Choose five series (no peeking before you choose them), list them, and then answer the questions behind the cut.

1. Fullmetal Alchemist
2. Black Cat
3. Tramps Like Us
4. Saiyuki
5. Naruto.

Comment on this post and I will choose seven interests from your profile. You will then explain what they mean/why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so that others can play along.
I got this from ryanitenebrae, who asked about....

elaborate lives

This is a reference to pzb's Hakkai x Yaone fic "Elaborate Lives", and sums up both that OTP, and most of my other OTPs. (I don't go for simple relationships.)

dani reese

The fabulous Detective Dani Reese is the female lead on the tv show life. What's great about her, besides the fact that she's the no-nonsense, tough, bad cop in the Dani Reese/Charlie Crewes partnership. Also, she is not just there to give information or reflect the male protagonist; she has her own history and damage.

labyrinth

Awesome movie. David Bowie being the seductive Goblin King we all want to want us. That last scene with them ("love me, fear me, and I will be your slave.") is incredibly hot, even on multiple rewatch.

 paris is overrated

I did a study abroad program for three months last year, and unlike everyone else on the planet who had a fabulous, life-changing experience, my time was pretty evenly split between awesome and awful. Also, the single most awesome day I had was across the country from Paris.

 sakura/kakashi

My current OTP. The final boot to get me to read Naruto was that I wanted to write fanfic and needed to get speech patterns down so I sounded in character. (I am not even joking.) Kakashi is the single most awesome character in Naruto, and despite Kishimoto's cockblocking tendencies with his female characters, Sakura has grown from a superficial young woman into a strong, compassionate, slightly less young woman. Kakashi was her teacher and sucked at it, but as a couple, I think they would work brilliantly. They are both ninja for the same reasons (to protect their village) and both of them are survivors - they are going to stay behind and protect Konoha while their friends die or leave. Also, Kakashi would treat Sakura right while being a bad enough boyfriend that she wouldn't take him for granted, and Sakura would knock Kakashi out of his self-imposed emotional shell and get him living again.

tremaine valiarde

Tremaine is the awesome main character of The Wizard Hunters. It a world of warriors and mages, she isn't trained to use a sword or magic, nor is she the nominal leader, yet, as the author herself described Tremiane: "she makes decisions and other people have to deal."

women with realistic bodies

I cannot tell you how much I enjoy having characters like Rose of Doctor Who or Tsunade of Naruto who actually look like real women, instead of woman after woman who have the perfect, flat, toned tummy that I desperately want and have yet to get. (And you don't even want to know how many crunches and ab work I do. The fact that I'm still a bit poofy on my belly and no where else, really, is just torturous.)

[Poll #1190966]

Feel free to discuss this further in the comments. Also, please remember that I am unspoiled for the next manga of Saiyuki Reload, and if I get spoiled after over a year of waiting patiently, I will be PISSED. However, Gaiden is fair game, as I just don't care about that as much.

#35: In My Pocket (Gojyo/Yaone)

( Read more... )

Trying to beat the manuscript I got a third of the way through doing it the NanoWriMo way 2 summers ago into a workable format so I can continue writing it.

I'm telling myself that I only need to write better than the worse thing I've ever read published. It kind of helps.

It is being difficult, not the least because I have 30 open browsers to distract me, and about 60 unsorted songs in folders on my desktop (yeah, I'm one of those crazy people who has trouble writing when things are messy).

Speaking of: FBI FAQ. Because I know that is going to come in handy later, like when I work on my distance viewing story. (Speaking of, does anyone have any good book recs on how that works? You know, where people draw crime scenes and such?)

Also, the Yaone story I was bragging about a SakuraCon (pzb, read this).

I can't even get motivated to work on my fanfic.

Thus, meme-age:

Give me a kink and a pairing and I'll give you at least a sentence of kink.

(I'm operating on the assumption that once I start writing something, everything else will flow.)

On the assumption that 'if I haven't checked hakkai_yaone in oh, about forever, there's bound to be something new there', I checked it. There's nothing new there.

Oh, saiyuki OTP, you poor thing.

You deserve better, but after a year of being one of 2 people writing you, I needed to see other people, read smut not written by me or pzb.

I've been seduced by shows with multiple female characters! I can cheat on my OTPs with other het couples!

Still, it makes me sad to see your comm so slow. (Maybe the RPing will perk up my muse a bit.)

God, you and Hakkai are adorable together!

*sigh*

I've never felt so sad to be slowly losing a fandom.

(I'm sorry, I'm spamming tonight, and being whiny and emo. Mea culpa.)
