I've broken 1,000 entries! I still find it surprising that all this time, I was under 1,000. Especially since I've never deleted an entry. Maybe I've marked a couple of angry ones as Private, but nothing is ever deleted that I remember. Unless it was a test entry.

I can't believe it took me all this time to realize that in Akt 17 when Uzura demands to know what lovey-dovey means, they're in the Bookmen leader's bookstore and not the library. Though I did think it strange that Fakir would be in the library during the time of his suspension. Possibly I did realize the very first time I watched the show; I couldn't say. But that's definitely meant to be your first clue that Autor is important, since he turns up somewhere other than the library.

I get inspiration from the oddest places. Looking at someone's mock-up motivational (or would it be de-motivational, LOL) posters using their Princess Tutu fanarts, they have one of Autor that says "Just because you're necessary doesn't mean you're important." **hugs him.** Of course you're important, Autor! They never could have defeated Drosselmeyer if not for you! And you're awesome and the fans love you!

But anyway. I got the idea for a horrible scene where something is wrong with Fakir and he's saying some things to Autor like that he was never important/that Fakir has never liked him/that he's a pathetic Drosselmeyer fanboy who tries to imitate Drosselmeyer's study and mannerisms (ritual absolutions, same tea, etc.) because he doesn't have any talent to strike out on his own. That would be a terrible and intense confrontation. I don't know if anything would come of it, as I'm not sure what would be wrong with Fakir that he would say those things. It wouldn't work for the current multi-chapter, since he doesn't remember. I could fall back on mind-control/possession; probably the former, but I think more than outright mind-control it would be speech-control. Fakir's mind would be free, but he wouldn't be able to control what he was saying. o.o Which is something I don't think I've ever tried, and in some ways it seems like it would be worse than outright mind-control.

Yay at breaking 1000 entries! X3

And yay at the first clue of Autor's importance!

LOL, I think we all get inspiration from the oddest places. Like a clip of a sideways-walking gnome, for example... XD Aww, of course Autor is important.

And ooh, intriguing fic idea. Poor Fakir!

(Oh, yeah, I need to read your latest chapter still... **glares at work and finals** I think I need a little more time, 'kay? XD;)

A sideways-walking gnome is such wonderful crack inspiration, though! LOL. I don't think I've ever got an idea from a de-motivational poster before, so I'm rather intrigued.

**hugs Autor and Fakir.** I think the comment of not being important would hurt Autor more than anything else. Judging from this part in episode #22, "He's the one?! Then what was I born into this world for?!", Autor longs to be able to do something of value/to be important/etc. So Fakir would probably say Autor wasn't important last of all. And it would hurt Fakir so badly too, just like when Drosselmeyer controlled his hand and made him write the words that sent Ahiru walking into the Lake of Despair.

I figured you'd be overwhelmed with stuff. Good luck!

XD Congratulations on 1,000 entries. I know I've had over a 1,000 for a while now, if only because when I was younger I was really obnoxious and I'd post like two or three short entries a day. *sweatdrop* And for some reason my brain wants to type "entires" instead of "entries".

LOL, I love those demotivational posters.

Ooh, not that I really know anything about the characters, but speech-control is always fun. >3

Oh yeah, and I saw your post on little_details. Did you get some good answers? I know I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with that comm, it's so useful but whenever I post I'm always worried I've done something wrong and I'm going to get jumped on. XD; Silly, but there you go.

LOL.

De-motivational posters are so amusing. **snerks.** And some of the motivational ones are, too.

**nodnod.** These characters have a really rocky/awkward friendship, so it will be very interesting and heartbreaking to see how it plays out. ;__;

Yep! I already had an idea of how I wanted it to go, and the answers convinced me that I was doing okay. I was rather nervous posting myself. XD;

Congrats on 1000 entries! :D That's a lot! I'm all over here with less than 200, and that's with all the private, ridiculous(ly short) ones like "My cheese whip keeps exploding XD;"

...They aren't? XD; I didn't notice that. It looked like the library to me.

Demotivational posters are LOL. And some motivational posters too ("Overkill: Because crushing them just isn't enough."). D'aw, of course Autor is important! Who the heck would have steered Fakir in the right direction or held off the Bookman?

Oh, that would suck o.o Speech-control... Sounds like something Drosselmeyer would attempt >_< Hearing it from Fakir would not help at all, either.

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

1001 to be precise. XD I ended up forgetting to mention it on the actual 1000th entry. LOL.

Exploding cheese whips. LOL.

Yeah, I thought so for the longest time. But I'm pretty sure it's the bookstore. It looks smaller and narrow, like the bookstore, and that ladder is propped up against the one side, like you always see in the bookstore.

**hugs Autor and Fakir.** It would hurt Fakir so deeply too. ;__; Drosselmeyer would totally get his LOLs out of doing something like that. But since he can't control the people anymore, it would probably have to be a random malevolent spirit.
