dreaming on

The Plain Clothes Roxas medal:



Even in fluffy Twilight Town mode they chose to show him full of pain and rage and fury.
I... I just love my feral wolf baby so much. /sobs

I finished another video game! Wooo!

( Spoilers be here )

CACKLING

I FINALLY BEAT KINGDOM HEARTS RE: CODED! Saw the secret ending, too.

( Spoilertastic last-impression babble to follow. )

sincere: You don't know what you're getting into, Sora.
rainfall: PFFFT
rainfall: Look, Joshua's feelings are going to reach Neku.
sincere: Whether Neku likes it or not.
sincere: Survival not guaranteed.
rainfall: They will come in through his window at night.
rainfall: (Everyone in the Cult of Sora is connected to everyone else's hearts, all the time.)
rainfall: (There is very little privacy.)

I wrote no fewer than two The World Ends With You fics yesterday, both of them Hanekoma/Joshua. They're like a collective 2300 words. I'm the most fail. I also am not posting them yet because dflksjlgjkl I haven't even gotten to Joshua in my replay yet and I need to be sure I won't hate myself when I'm caught up.

For those of you who might be interested but aren't aware yet, libekory and I have been working on a Kingdom Hearts 2 plotline called Another Side, Another Story.

Everyone knows this story: The keyblade master slept for three hundred days. Those with the fate of the world in mind struggled to wake him, but he was not whole; first they needed to find his dark shadow and bring it back to him before he could return and give light to all the worlds. With the two halves of his soul reunited, the keyblade master becomes the hero once more, and brings peace wherever his path takes him.

This is someone else's story.

What if Sora never woke up?

What if Roxas takes up the mantle of keyblade master?

Just a few of the answers to that question: a handful of Nobodies are going to save the multiverse, the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee is going to cram a few more people into their tiny headquarters, Aslan and Roger Rabbit and Goliath will need some help saving their worlds, some old not-friends will await in Hades, and DiZ will Not Be Happy.

Read through it here at the website or slightly less organized on the community another_rpg. Feel free to read all the way through or to skip to Day Six for some of the original stuff.

Also, bonus, we started a dressing room to mess around with: another_dr. If you have any KH character journals and are so inspired, you can play too.

Watched Hairspray. Loved it. Started watching Across the Universe, stopped about 3/4ths of the way through, watched Hairspray again instead. Still love it. Think I'm going to have to buy it.

Still, slowly, playing The World Ends With You. If you'll recall, I had a premonition that I was supposed to pair Joshua with Neku just from reading the instruction manual. Well, now that I'm significantly into Joshua's chapter, I can officially say that Square is trying way too hard to make me pair Joshua with Neku. Seriously, I don't need this much help. I can decide that he's gay before he starts giggling and making sly comments about staring at Neku's ass. Anyway, he's Very Interesting, in the sense of being a smug little bitch with more secrets up his sleeve than a transvestite, which by the way he practically is, because despite his sensible character art outfit, he has branded items (e.g. "When Joshua wears this item...") that are, for example, a frilly umbrella. Seriously. He has a Frilly Umbrella that only he can make practical use of. Not a girl. Joshua.

ANYWAY.

On a Kingdom Hearts front, I'm playing Re:CoM. I am also making tremendous progress on Another Side, which is ecstatic-making. We're officially done with the Prologue, although not all of it is up yet -- I think we'll post the first part of Day 6 today. I'm currently attempting to draw Nobodies in Namine's style for the Namine's Notes. It's... not easy. orz I think it takes someone more artistically talented than me to draw this childishly. You know, like it takes a really great dancer to dance badly?

On the Bleach front, Kyouraku/Lisa is so my new OTP, even though it's painful because uh I can't just ignore Kyouraku/Nanao either. It is FTP, for Fail True Pairing, although I believe that acronym is taken. Anyway I love them. And Urahara and Hiyori and Akon. And Yoruichi and Byakuya. Etc.

ETA: It's a frilly parasol, not a frilly umbrella. And it is described as "Frilled and beribboned, this antique umbrella is a magical key to grand romance. A sensible princess would keep it at hand." A sensible princess, e.g. Joshua.

I fail so hard at porn it is astonishing. I have over 900 words on this thing and they both mostly still have clothes on and they both still have things they want to say.

Instead of writing more of it, I yank a meme from unite.

( I never used to do memes until I found the fun fandom ones. )

I need to play more FFXII:RW. I'm in chapter 7 now, I think, and I've lost all hope of getting the "alternate" ending. (But I bookmarked it on Youtube, so when I'm done, I'll be able to just go there and find it, mwahaha.

KH: Drifting slightly back in the Kingdom Hearts direction, for which I blame my anon friend (*sob* our, our love was never meant to be) (theirs too) and poking a little at Another Side. It's so awesome it isn't even fair to belong to two such uninspired people.

Just as an idle inquiry: Has anyone in the KH fandom not yet read the Roxas: Somewhere in Time side story in FM+, besides me? I was translating it last night and it's full of adorable and fail. Roxas is all like, "Axel says we're best friends, but we're Nobodies, so we don't have friends. ...But we are pretty close. ...Way closer than anyone else in OXIII. ...But we're not friends!! I just don't know what we are." Cling to that party line, Roxas!

Disgaea: I really really want to finish this, but I'm so unmotivated to level and Disgaea is a game that really requires you to level. I want someone to level for me. :( Jason, where are you?! For Christmas I would like a Disgaea game with Laharl at level 500 at the start of episode 10 plz.

Bleach: I'm still enjoying the Soul Society cleaning house. ♥♥♥ I really don't give a damn about any of the Espada. Especially Szayel Aporro, who was okay before he became a total god-moder. I'm sure he's not dead yet, though. SIGH.

Note: Don't forget, if you are on my flist you are eligible for a shiny, probably belated holiday card! Here.

For those who don't know but are interested, I have some shiny Zexion/Lexaeus up for 6/5~
