NaNo Uh-Oh! The clash of hatred and motivation

Having recently seen the gorgeous Rukia/Orihime sketch has reminded me how I totally needed to have that pairing in my list of Bleach ships. ♥ (Although the way my icon [livejournal.com profile] dragonsquee's icons lost Orihime's hand on the back of Rukia's head is sad.) (Also, Lisa is in that pic! SHOCK AND DELIGHT.)

Didn't start NaNo. Feel bad about it. But I told myself I wouldn't even try if I didn't finish Tales of Vesperia in time. Maybe it was a bad decision? I just feel like while I'm job-searching, some of that free time could have been spent writing a novel so I didn't have to get a new job.

I hate NaNo and much prefer [livejournal.com profile] novel_in_90, but I don't really give a damn about NaNo. All I want is to write.

*talks self into it, still feels bad about it*

lol well my ships are obvious, they're on my profile page, but I am really kind of fond of um all of them now. Originally I disliked Allen/Lenalee but since I started RPing Allen I'm just like. All configurations of the main four kids are cool. Except for Kanda slash. It's Lenalee or no one for Kanda.

You're right about Mana, and I'm not going to be surprised if later on we get positive resolution about his feelings for Allen personally, if only because Allen is so. Broken. Thinking that Mana didn't really love him flgkjdflg sob, and it needs to be resolved. But right now I think his motives are HIGHLY questionable. (The dog's name was Allen. Did he name Allen that, or was Allen coincidentally also named that? If he named Allen that, there has to be a reason, right? What if the 14th was named Allen? GOD. Okay sorry I think too much.)

Ummm, of my three Kanda/Lenalee icons (I used to like Rinali, I think, but Lenalee is one of the non-horrible canon English spellings, so yeah)

Image is fanart and Image is doujinshi, so neither is official art. Image is right before the Level 4 attacks, when she's meditating with him and gets all depressed and then he tells her that he thinks she's a strong confident woman so, so stop that. XD

Well, yes, and I think I recall you posting about them... plus, icons! I expected Allen/Lenalee to be hugely obvious because of the way much of my friendslist treated it, and have been surprised to see that it's really not overtly romantic. Buuut, I do agree that they are very similar - and though I am, er, one of those oddballs who sometimes ships incest, that doesn't often go with similar... personalities... idk. Anyyyhoodle, I'm not sure, but I can see why RPing him would do that. aldsakm Yeah, people are really into Kanda slash but wtf? Where the hell does all the Kanda/Lavi come from? It's like huge and I do nooooot get it.

I didn't even catch that the dog's name was Allen; that's interesting. I'm withholding my opinion on Mana's feelings, because I honestly think there's no way to know for sure right now, but I obviously hope it will be at least somewhat hopeful for Allen. I hope that, but I can't help but fear it won't be.

AHA, yeah, I was wondering about the middle one, the embrace. It looked pretty possibly authentic and I was like... when did I miss that... aldkmsa the latter I knew *_____*. I like how much more he tolerates her than anyone else, baw, he's like less stock around her.

Yeah, I did do a rant on why I wasn't a fan a little while ago, lolol. All of the reasons why I didn't really ship them still stand, but I wouldn't like, tear at my hair if they became canon. I honestly like it more because it's just -- Allen has these adorable moments where he's like "She looks cuuute ///" and Lenalee is perfectly oblivious.

I, I kinda ship Komui/Lenalee. (Especially during the Level 4 storyline when he was pleading with her through the door, and I. ;_; Yeah.) But yeah, I draw a clear line between physical incest and spiritual incest, where, like... One person clearly sees someone unrelated to them as a big brother or father figure, I usually find that creepy. :\ Komui/Lenalee doesn't ping that for me. OKAY NOW THAT I SOUND LIKE A FREAK

That art icon really does look totally canon. I also have a cute one from that same dj where she's kissing him on the forehead, lskjdfg YEAH that's my thought exactly. XD Lenalee makes him stop being totally predictable and boring! Okay Kanda's not my favorite, but I think he's as cute as he can possibly get with Lenalee, and he is in canon, so that's impressive.

I actually have not yet read that, but I think I will hunt it down! now that I am caught up I am alll sdlmsakldasd and eager to git anything else on the subject. But, yes, on Lenalee's part there really doesn't seem to be anything like that - she cares about him, but she cares about all of them, it hasn't felt stronger for him. ....what.

adlkmsa I do too, which makes me feel terrible. But, yeah, I tend to ship based on the way in which they interact, and as such am also not generally attracted to pairings which are not blood-related but in which they relate in that big-brother or father way. SO YOU sound like a freak but I get you. baw, they break my heart a little. I also kind of ship Allen/Road/Rhode w/e which makes me feel terribly wrong, but... but ...

It seriously does, orz. Kanda isn't my favorite either, but I am pleased that he's a little less of the typical, lol cool asshole that you see in various manga. We see more of it with Lenalee, which makes me :)). It reminds me of ... gosh, I can't think of what it reminds me of, but something, in-- oh, lol, no, I remember, hahaha. In that, at first, Uryuu's kind of a big asshole, but Orihime makes me a lame-ass dork. Or shows it to the world. But that's totally different. Because Uryuu gets to show his dork everywhere and generally loosen up, but Kanda really only does it with her.

My observations on both Allen/Lenalee and the anime fail can be found here (http://kay-willow.livejournal.com/263239.html) when you get bored, lol. Again, I think they're fucking adorable and if Hoshino intends to make them canon, I appreciate the subtlety and delicacy she's handling it with. I agree, Lenalee hasn't shown me any way in which Allen is different than any of "her boys", except that -- Allen is much more, well. He's more broken than they are. :\ And so I think she winds up affirming with him more than the others, but I don't see it as anything... really special, right now. I don't think she feels that way about him yet, if she is going to.

God I really like Allen/Rhode (Road is official but screw it) because it's so. XD It's so deviant and wrong ahaha. Rhode is so cute about it though. :D "I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM" "WHAT WILL THE EARL SAY?!"

Yes! It's a lot like that. I like it when you can see the guy melting, even if only a little bit, for the girl he likes. XD It's so cuuute.

I enjoyed your observations! And I agree.

alkdma Allen is such a bicycle because I could really like him with quite a few people. It's so bizarreeee, Rhode's crush on Allen, and hilarious, and impossible, but adlkasl yes. It's probably, possibly just for comic relief, because ... I don't know, I don't know, I don't see it leading to any redemption, lololol, yeah.

YYY. Kanda does it well. I want to see them together more D:

oh god, redeemed Rhode-- no. XD YEAH, she is unrepentantly happily hating of humanity. Of course, uh, maybe when Allen becomes a Noah they can hook up?

Otherwise it'll just have to be evil. :D I wrote some Rhode on Allen here (http://community.livejournal.com/figment_tree/54155.html), for fun.

HAHA fasdkjfkasda oh god ALLLEEEEEEn. Do not want ... Cross says he has no choice, but Allen's the main character! Main Character-no-jutsu get? D:

That fic is pretty dern hot, gotta say.
