Comments

[beckerbell]

*beams at* Thank you! I get really nervous any time I start a new fandom, because I have to find their voices all over again and try to figure out their motivations and then predict how they would react to certain circumstances and... I get way too up in my headspace about it. So, comments like this help a lot, thank you. ♥

And I love the zecters, I love how you just know that Gatack zecter is demanding and crazy and even if it drives Kagami nuts, he's probably really fond of it. I am also of the opinion that the Gatack zecter would probably randomly dive bomb at Tendou's head any time it spotted that bastard. >:|

Poor Tendou. He is IN KAGAMI'S BED. He also TOOK A SHOWER. He even CLEANED KAGAMI'S APARTMENT and WASHED THE SHEETS. These are all very, very clear Tendou Signals and Kagami is stupid for not getting it. :|

Even if Kagami is confused because Tendou is NEVER straightforward, so clearly all these advances must mean something else. :<

Also, I love Hiyori a lot. I think she should go around being annoyed at people being stupid FOREVER. ♥

Ah, see, the keywords here are "any time I start a new fandom." You do realize, don't you, that YOU ARE THE CAUSE OF ALL OF THIS FANDOM. SINGLEHANDEDLY. YOU SENT MEG THE VIDEOS AND BROUGHT ABOUT THE DOWNFALL OF MORE THAN HALF OF YOUR COMBINED SOCIAL SPHERE. You could write KRK characters as inanimate objects or breakfast cereal and we'd still love you to itty bitty pieces.

Plus, you know, you're sort of a ridiculously good writer and I love the amount of effort you put into your characterizations because they always turn out perfectly spot-on.

Hiyori could get about nine lifetimes-worth of annoyance out of the Kagami/Tendou non-relationship. Jyuka, meanwhile, is following them around like a ninja, sekritly filming their bizarre and fluctuating courtship rituals and setting up yaoi fangirl websites. XD I love Tendou's sisters.

[beckerbell]

*modest, really* Well, I can't take all the credit, I doubt I would have watched them myself if not for Meg getting so into Kabuto after I sent it. Or would have even thought to send it if amamiyarin didn't talk about Kamen Rider/tokusatsu series a lot. But it has been delightful to see the upswing in people talking about them/writing about them. :D :D :D

And thank you for the lovely compliments, even if I half-suspect that they're ego-stroking so that I'll write more. ^_~

Juka would just be looking out for her brother and Kagami-san because she likes them and wants to make sure they're doing okay. Even if Onii-chan has a royal fit about how she shouldn't be seeing things like that at her age and Kagami has to deal with not being allowed inside a three foot radius of Tendou for a month. :<

[moonbyrd]

Well, those compliments were honest and well-deserved but I AM NOT ABOVE EGO STROKING. I HAVE NO PRIDE. I HAVE NO SHAME. JUST SAY THE WORD.

capncosmo seems to have suckered me into watching GouGou Sentai Boukenger but it just doesn't hold a candle to KRK. I'm working really hard on resisting Den-O and Kiva until some of my television backlog has gone away, because I've got, like, a full year of 24/7 viewing to do. ><

"Hiyori, I'm begging you," Kagami said, clutching her elbow. "Please, please, talk him out of it. I CAN'T MAKE IT THROUGH ANOTHER WEEK. Can't you get Juka to...to...take down the email list or...or destroy one of her photo albums? Or just hide it! PLEASE!"

[beckerbell]

....I AM TOTALLY NOT SUSCEPTIBLE TO EGO-STROKING, IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL, SHUT UP, NO IT DOESN'T. T_____T

I've been kind of curious about Boukenger as well, to the point that I may have downloaded it already. >_>a I'm still working on Den-O and Kiva, but I've made a lot of progress with both of them--they're not as grabbing as Kabuto was, but Den-O has some A+++ moments and Kiva is shaping up to be really interesting. I like them both a LOT and highly recommend them.

AHAHAHAHA I laugh at Kagami's pain because it's funny. :< His life is so hard. :<

[lazulisong]

*BRIGHTENS UP* what, you got Boukenger? I want to know if they do retarded crossover tags with Kabuto!

[beckerbell]

*sullen* It's your fault, you know. You mentioned it one time and I got curious. I haven't started them yet, but I've got them downloaded at least. I may possibly be waiting for the next episode of a certain drama to air so I can put it neatly on a disc and then you may possibly be getting more retarded crap.

ONE OF THESE DAYS YOU'LL REGRET TALKING TO ME YET.

[lazulisong]

NO, NO, I DON'T THINK I WILL♥

I hear Red and Black are really kind of gay.

*sullenly* I think you'd've paid me back if I end up watching freaking Zettai Kareshi for freaking Mizuthingy.

[moonbyrd]

Just...just...go to Veoh and watch the first ten minutes of episode one. You won't regret it, I swear!!

[beckerbell]

WILL TOO. SOMEDAY. SOMEDAY YOU'LL REGRET IT. JUST YOU WAIT.

--oh, crap, there's gay? orz

*kicks rocks* On the bright side, at least I managed to wrangle Wolfie into reading the Fruits Basket manga in exchange for Zettai Kareshi. (I can't help it. The carrot screencap did me in. I am making peace with my low taste.)

[lazulisong]

I HAVEN'T YET :D :D :D

I guess Red and Black have a Past or something? I dunno. Red's the crazy dude who does the ep tags with Tendou where he starts giggling and cooing "Precioooouuuuus~~~~" and Tendou calls Pink and tattles on him because he's freaking him out. At this point I'm beginning to think that they just throw in heaps of slashy fanservice so older sisters and mothers will not kill small male children for pitching a fit if they don't get to watch Super Hero Hour every freaking Sunday morning.

._. our vulgar taste, let us show you it. I want to have good taste in things like this! I don't want to be terribly, terribly entertained by the gay! b-but. It can't be helped. ._.

[beckerbell]

I-- I'M-- I'M SURE IT'LL HAPPEN SOMEDAY. T___T

I really kind of wonder, they can't be just doing it on accident in EVERY SINGLE SHOW I'VE WATCHED, right? Like, it's not just a happy accident that there's loads of gay in Kabuto, Den-O, and Kiva, how could it be? Especially if the Kabuto writers kind of seemed to know what they were doing, at least by the halfway point? So, uh... WHY? I can only agree with you that they want to keep the Okaa-sans and Onee-sans watching and so they'll take the little rats to the movies, too.

We try so hard to have good taste, why are we like this? Why do we want the babyfic and hot makeouts against the Kabuto Extender and wake-up-as-chicks-and-freak-out fics? ;__;

[lazulisong]

They have got to be! Although I have to say that if American children's programming had this level of um fanservice directed at the older females of the audience, I would be a lot less grumpy when the Grandrats came to visit. ._. I except Avatar, but it's not really typical programming.

.____. You know, it's the moments where I'm sulking over a database, knitting a sock and thinking seriously about the mechanics of frottage against a motorcycle when I really worry that I may not be a normal person.

[beckerbell]

If this were the kind of programming that was aimed at American children, I would be more than happy to watch TV with the nephew. I mean, I can take a lot of crap, I can watch Spongebob Squarepants of my own free will, but there are some shows on Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon that really make me want to claw at my own head.

*pets soothingly* You shouldn't worry about not being normal, you're just. Extra awesome! ♥

[moonbyrd]

I'm especially fond of episode 4, wherein the giant monster emits white clouds from its, ah, abdomen, and the Boukenger team's winning cry is "MAXIMUM PENETRATE."

And that's only the giant!monster battle. Just THINK of the cast...chemistry.

You want to waaaaaaaatch

[moonbyrd]

I haven't seen any yet, but I'm only on episode 5. YOU SHOULD WATCH AND FIND OUT WITH ME. :D
