I could be super serious about RL troubles right or I could post about boybands. Guess which won.

Status update: A little worryingly numb at times. I don't think I'm shutting down, I'm still able to enjoy happy things, but... well, I watched some tv yesterday and the first episode of a series dealt with the murder of this little boy and the parents feeling bereft and grieving after him and... I felt nothing. Not really even a twinge of ( Read more... )

Hugs on the RL :( ♥ Everyone deserves some love ♥

You have a good eye for ~*artistic*~ photos! I like your koi pond photo! Especially the reflection of the tree superimposed on the surface of the water, just when the rocks beneath kind of get faded out by the blue of the sky. It's an interesting mix of textures. ♥

I tried out the Ohoku manga (and came away with like maybe 20% of the actual dialogue) but it's actually quite interesting. For one thing, the male Ohoku isn't a direct reflection of the real-life female ones, and, uh. Ithoughtitwasreallyhot when 800 hot men bowed in deference to a powerful woman. >____> Power trip, there. AND YES, TAMAKI HIROSHI IS SCORCHING, YUM. Did I tell you that they kept in at least a few BL parts from the manga too? :D :D

VSA099: SO THERE IS OHNOJUN IN THERE, REALLY. Ohno is a master at being a little shit and getting away with it, even more so than Nino because everyone is expecting NINO to do that. Wait, this entire episode is shippy? Like everything else they do? *puts on to-watch- ( ... )

Return squishy hugs for you as well! I hope things will return to an even keel soon, but it's been comforting to be able to vent about it (even vaguely) like this. ♥

I swear, sometimes the photo looks shopped even to me, like I layered three different photos over each other to get the textures, but that really is just the way it came out. And thank you! I enjoy taking photos kind of a lot. XD

Fffffff, seriously, waiting for Ohoku to come out on dvd and getting subs is going to be kind of painful. I WANT IT NOW OKAY AND YOU ARE TOTALLY NOT HELPING WITH THIS.

VSA099: There is totally Ohno/Jun in the episode! And I really think Ohno did a lot of it on purpose--it's a testament to his skill, really, that he's been doing this for years and you can know that he's a little bastard and he'll still make you forget that he's a little rat bastard! ILU OHNO. I wouldn't say it's 100% shippy the entire time, but it's definitely worth checking out if you're an Ohno/Jun fan, it had some really good moments. (And the one REALLY shippy ( ... )

Photography is definitely my favorite kind of still art (well, aside from fanart, which is kind of a whole other kettle of fish) because it can be a little hard, but when you capture a perfect moment, it's almost like a whole little world in that picture. (OH GOD DID I REALLY JUST TYPE THAT OUT? SO EMBARRASSING.)

I'm a little surprised that Japan came out with such an incredible-sounding story (but not that surprised, I've heard rumors that Japan is getting a stronger and stronger feminist movement) but I'm really glad, because it sounds awesome and amazing and, most of all, like it's genuinely interesting on a gender dynamics level ( ... )

DON'T BE EMBARRASSED TO SPEW ABOUT ART. You have no idea how trite I sound trying to critique art. The problem is that the way we describe it is so poetic it sounds ridiculous, when in reality we mean exactly that! D:

Japan has some really good gems buried everywhere; I think it's just where to look. I mean, I think One Piece is fully deserving of its hype. SPEAKING OF WHICH, I am reading again! *____*

Re Ohno & Aiba: YES. Ohno is Arashi's willing harbour, and they love him for it. There was this excellent fic I'd read recently that illustrated this perfectly, but I can't find it again. And Aiba is just their momentum, I swear; they wouldn't do three-quarters of their batshit things if Aiba wasn't there, nudging them along and soothing frayed nerves when things got kind of scary and embarrassing and etc.

You know he probably does have his computer plastered with their pictures and probably even has, like, posters tucked away somewhere. And that's why none of them are EVER allowed over to his place, because he KNOWS that ( ... )

Even professional art critics sound ridiculous and pretentious when they talk about art, so I imagine we don't have much hope of avoiding that trap. *g* But it's all right because, hell, if you can't be poetic and ridiculous about art, which is supposed to move you emotionally, what can you be ridiculous and poetic about?

I am delighted to hear you're reading One Piece again! *___* I've been skipping manga lately, so I'm a few chapters behind (the latest chapters were really heart-wrenching for me at a time I probably should have been avoiding it) but it's SO GOOD and I WANT TO SHAAAARE, so you'll have to talk about your reactions as you go along!

And Jun'd have, like, pristine copies of their magazines when he likes an interview that they'd given

Jun would be that kind of person who likes to have things neat and nicely done, he's a perfectionist, and he loves Arashi so ridiculously that he'd get a special binder with special laminated holders for the articles he especially liked. Or he'll just keep the whole magazine because ( ... )

As long as we adopt the Nino!artiste attitude à la Aozora Pedal making of (you know what I mean) every once in a while I think our dignities will survive XD

Speaking of One Piece, there is a just-posted fanfic on je_justfriends that reads a bit like One Piece. Aiba is, of course, the catalyst to everything. Go read! ♥

Or he'll just keep the whole magazine because he hates tearing pages out, so he'll have this box of magazines with especially good articles tucked away in the back of his closet that, OF COURSE, Nino will find.

And knowing Jun, he'd be neurotic enough to organize them by date, magazine title, and frequency of re-reads. And when Jun isn't looking, Nino will slip into the spaces the volumes that Jun had somehow missed (and had starred with a sticky, to hold the spot) with a brand-new volume with one of Aiba's porn magazines in the middle.

It was a little creepy, honestly, Nino says later, just how many pictures Jun had of their group on his walls. But also sort of sweet, because you can tell he really loves Arashi a lot, which is ( ... )

Oh, god, I just got to His group was really easy. in that fic and cracked the hell up. SOMETIMES I LOVE THIS FANDOM AND YOU FOR POINTING THIS OUT. Ninja!Aiba is amazing.

Nino would totally sneak porn in between the volumes of Jun's stash of magazines. With the leaflets badly torn out just to extra antagonize him. And probably of the big boobs variety, since that'd bother him even more. It's so much fun to bother Jun-kun that it's really not Nino's fault. He should make it less amusing for people to mess with him ( ... )

THE FIC IS AMAZING. It's such an easy read and yet I cracked up every other line because Aiba!narration is special. Wait 'till you get to the ocean. And Brazil. XD

On Jun's birthday he'll sneak in gay porn along with the limited special edition of [insert magazine name] that Jun was never able to find (and make Sho buy the porn for him).

Jun totally wouldn't know whether to hug or strangle them all, because this collage came completely from Nino's invasion and lies, and it is not ethical (nor safe to his sanity) to condone that kind of action from Nino! This will set precedents! But-but baby pictures on national television...

CRACKING UP ON TWISTER OH MY GOD Didn't Ohno and Jun play twister at the end of some Mago Mago episode, and Jun's face was RIGHT IN OHNO'S ASS? And he was grinning his head off? Am I crazy or did this happen? I'm sure it happened!

I'm already cracking up at the SECRET NINJA OF THE NIGHT as Sho apologizes to the people they bump into, crying forever now.

Nino. Making. Sho. Buy. The. Porn. For. Him. Amazing. I'm sure he would have said that Aiba could go buy it for them, but does Sho-chan really want to risk Nino sending Aiba to buy the gay porn? In a public place? Being Aiba?

And, really, Nino probably could have sent a staff member (possibly this is why the wardrobe chick hates him so much, because he's made her buy gay porn for them in a public place before) but he has a bet with Oh-chan to see if he can really make Sho do it.

Either Aiba or Sho will play peacemaker when Nino presents the collage to Jun--by telling embarrassing baby stories about Nino. And Ohno will chime in with some really good ones that have even Nino shrieking in embarrassment. Jun will be placated ( ... )

Ninja Arashi is super ninja, even when they fail! Have you gotten to Jun refusing to be a ninja anymore yet? Because after that is EVEN MORE AWESOME, it is so hilarious. I want to, like, love on the author's mind FOREVER because the adventure is so epic but so Arashi at the same time.

Sho-chan, says Nino, you know that if I send Aiba-chan to buy me gay porn he'll get me the male version of naughty housewives. And then he'll look very traumatized and giggle a lot when he finds one starring a porn star who looks just like you (because you know they hire actors half on the fact that they look like popular idols), and then you know what he'll do? He'll--

Sho has never run out the door for porn faster.

And when Ohno starts talking about embarrassing Nino baby stories, Nino won't be able to stop him, because he started the collage in the first place. So Jun can look smug all he wants, until he gets in the next time and changes his wallpaper and homepage to something more, ah, appropriate ( ... )

THE OCTOPUS SUCKERING ONTO SHO. Beautiful. ♥

If Japan's porn industry is anything like the one in the West, they'll have entire videos dedicated to orgies with Arashi member-lookalikes. You know Aiba would manage to find the worst of the lot and Sho knows it, too. To add insult to injury, Sho has to buy it with his own money because there's no way Nino would shell out for it.

From now on, Nino takes pictures when he does something to Jun's place. Changing the homepage on his computer? Takes a picture. Puts up that calendar image of Sho on the stripper pole? Takes a picture. Shun has to help with this, because Jun starts keeping his keys on his person, because the last time Nino just went into Jun's bag without asking while Jun was busy elsewhere and Nino was locked out.

One time, they plaster Jun's room with pictures of Jun, just to say, ummm, aren't you a little obsessed with yourself, Jun-kun? Arashi is made up of five members, you know!

SIX STORIES TALL, says Aiba. EIGHT, says Sho. I DON'T BELIEVE YOU, says Nino uncertainly. AND THEN NINO LOOKS FOR TAVERNS IN BRAZIL ♥♥

The Arashi!orgies porn would be a bestseller, no lie. And pfft, since when has Nino ever given Sho money to buy stuff for him? It should be an honour to be involved in his nefarious plans. Think of it as his participation fees.

LOL JUN'S FACE WHEN HE WALKS INTO HIS ROOM WITH HIMSELF ON EVERY INCH. If Nino and Shun love me they'll also have made a life-sized cardboard cutout of Jun from his nude An-An shoot and put it on his bed.

The other time they put up Shun's pictures, and Shun will debut this on Oshareism (Ueda: *suspicious* why do you have pictures of MatsuJun's room?) and announce that Jun has officially graduated from keeping just his photobook by his bedside. I'm so pleased they decided to adopt me! he says in a touched voice. That Jun-kun admires me so! I never thought- to this extent- *sniff*

THIS THREAD IS SO BEAUTIFUL. BY BEAUTIFUL I MEAN CRACK. I MEAN BEAUTIFUL. WHAT.

Sho mutters that it's completely not an honor, but Nino lets him because Sho went and bought the gay porn he needed anyway. That's all that really matters.

About once a month, they'll get together and do this, that's just enough time for Jun to start letting his guard down around Shun (read: getting drunk with Shun and forget that Shun groping him also means Shun's going for his keys), so they'll rotate who Jun is "obsessed" with every month.

They really like to make it Sho, because he makes these funny uncomfortable faces when he's plastered all over Jun's wall, even when he knows that it's Nino and Shun fucking with Jun. One time they put up a bunch of pictures of Akanishi (which causes Yamapi--and possibly Ryo--to have a conniption fit laughing) and Jun really does whack both of them ( ... )

Sho actually has pretty good taste when he chooses the porn, too. Even the ones he doesn't want to watch. Nino approves .___.b (Aiba is, of course, incomparable.)

Jun should know better than to let his guard down around Shun at any time. Jun's ass isn't quite as round as my ideal girl's, but it's fair enough, Shun reflects wistfully, as he flicks the keys out while Jun drunkenly preens. Maybe Shun shouldn't have drank so much either, but at least Nino's sober ( ... )

Jun should know better than to listen to compliments from Shun, but he really can't help it, he just likes Shun so much that he's weak and he's too easy to read sometimes, but what can he do about it? Besides, Jun has better hair than Shun's ideal girl and that's worth at least some Kamenashi on his walls.

Akanishi alone was worse than the time they plastered all of KAT-TUN over his walls, so they saved that for a really special occasion. Like Nino's birthday. I'm not sure what could be worse than that for Jun, either! I don't think putting Ryo or Yamapi or even Kame's posters up would do it. Nagase maybe? Because they'll INVITE NAGASE ON THE SHOW and he'll give Jun a great big hug ( ... )
