ladybug_archiveI was visiting SetsunaKou's site again, and I noticed that now she commissions anime fanart done on the computer. She's really good, too! If I had the money, I'd probably commission her to do a Gin/Sherry thing. XD
I also found that she'd written an essay explaining why she doesn't believe that Trowa and Catherine from Gundam W are siblings, even though it's hinted at in the Episode 0 manga. And I love her, but I honestly don't think her arguments hold up very well. XD; The only one that makes much sense to me is the first one, which says that Episode 0 is accepted as a possibility in Japan, and not strict canon.
Then she goes on to argue that Catherine's brother disappeared when he was two, after falling off the moving vehicle the family was in, and that Trowa was found at age 4 by mercenaries. She says he could not have survived two years on his own. Well, of course not, but obviously if Trowa is Triton, someone would have had to have taken care of him for those two years. Such a person could then have easily been killed in the war, causing Trowa to wander around until being found by the mercenaries.
The rest of her arguments consist of the fact that Trowa and Catherine display hints of being romantically attracted. She completely overlooks the fact that the idea in Episode 0 and in the series is that if they're related, they have no idea that they are! And, like Luke and Leia in the first two Star Wars films, they could develop romantic feelings for each other in such a caseor they could as well even if they did know, but I don't think they're like that. I mean, they really have no reason to think that they're related. I don't know how they'd ever find out.
FF.net went down over the weekend, which was irritating, as I had completed another fic for 100 Situations. But they're finally online again, and I posted it. I'm rather proud of it. ^^ It originally started as a random scene of Gin being his usual forceful self and scaring a doctor at a public hospital when he's not allowed to see Vodka, but I decided to make a oneshot out of it. I think Gin's personality comes across very well in it: his pride, his denial, and whatever underlying feelings toward Vodka that he has.
It seems like occasionally I write Gin acting like Sanzo. XD My version of Gin has Sanzo's philosophy that he will never sacrifice himself for someone else, as the one left behind would suffer from that. Or at least, Gin had that idea in the past, according to Akemi. He probably doesn't think much about it anymore.
Akemi has also said that Gin used to say that one should never let go of what's most important, which Gin dismisses in the present as ridiculous. Though, depending on the point in the timeline, he has started to recognize that he is still desperate to not let go. So also, I suppose instead of dismissing the concept as ridiculous, he could be chastising himself for being "ridiculous." It's not made clear, and I think it's best that way. X3 Which is also a Saiyuki sort of thing, being deliberately vague.
I started overhauling my three chapters in that Sailor Moon fic. I've gone through all of chapter 1, and the last scene of chapter 3. Gotta do everything in between. I noticed that Portman originally wasn't such a nutjob at the very beginning, and it seems that the fic is showing somewhat how she ended up the way she is in the YGO fics and in Breakdown.
I'm following the animeverse, mostly, but I'm throwing in the manga thing about the Generals having served as Endymion's protectors before they were brainwashed by Beryl. And I'm still debating what to do with Zoisite. XD; I can't stand her in the anime, mainly because of what she did to Neflyte, but in the manga I like her/him. On the one hand, I could use the manga version (and would probably keep him male, as I find it easier to see him as male in the manga. He just looks so durn feminine in the anime!). But it would actually be more intense to use the anime version, for this reason: when she would regain her memories of the past, what would she think about what she did to Neflyte?
I'm also considering having the Senshi be out of high school in the fic, and either possibly in college, or between high school and college. And actually the main reason I thought of that was so that Naru could be older if I bring Neflyte back. ^^ I imagine all four will be revived, even though I recall that my original sketchy plan was just for Malachite and Jadeite to be alive.
I also did something I never thought I would: I joined DeviantART. I despise the site, always have, but I found a great Black Org fan there and I wanted to contact her. So I got an account to PM her. XD What's amusing is that, independent of that, she joined FF.net to Favorite me and my stories. I'm definitely not going to post my art on the site, though. Side 7 is still what I'll use for that.
And it's finally snowed here! X3 It was supposed to start on Monday, but we weren't getting any here even though other parts of the area were, and it was even sunny in the afternoon. But then it clouded over and started raining heavily toward evening (and lightning even flashed a few times). Then the snow began to fall, and it continued through Tuesday, off and on, and we're supposed to get a little more today. The mountains are still hidden behind clouds.

Date: 2006-12-02 03:43 am (UTC)I want to stroke Harley's hair. It looks so fluffy and soft. X3
That's very interesting about Hikari. I never thought someone besides Satoshi would be the star. XD Is he still in all the episodes, even though Hikari is the new star? And what about Brock? **always forgets his Japanese name.**

Date: 2006-12-02 10:09 am (UTC)Yeah. xD
It does look fluffy! ^_^
Yes, Satoshi and Takeshi are in it, they're her friends. ^^
She's not all noobish though, because her mother is a star Coordinator with quite a few trophies.
... Also, Hikari's mother has the same Pokemon... as her rival. Such an amusing twist.
Also, Haruka got a femboy/love interest rival and an overly-effiminate manipulating rival... Hikari gets a cute tomboyish girl for a rival. xD
Takeshi's getting more episodes to himself (and his creepy creepy perverted Greggle (poisonous frog Pokemon)) then he got in AG! ^_^
Also, his Greggle spends the opening animation peeking up Hikari's skirt. xD; I love the little creep.
