I thought I'd check out some of the gift-fics that you wrote for people, since they looked quite interesting. Anyway I really liked this. I'm a big fan of slice-of-life stuff which gives you an overall view of the character's relationships with one another. I like this interpretation of Johan and Judai--really good friends who are so close they can easily predict one another's movements. It seems quite in keeping with canon.

Two points I found especially interesting were Johan's view of Manjoume and the Ojamas--it never occurred to me, but I can see how that would be difficult for him to watch. It'd be kind of like an animal rights activist listening to someone shrieking at a dog. So, I can see how it would take some mental gymnastics to accept the way they interact. I also like the description of Johan learning Japanese. It seems plausible, and it was definitely something that benefited by explanation!

Overall, this is a sweet story, and I enjoyed it a lot. ♥

Ack. I was replying to this a while ago. But I got, distracted. >.> Sorry about replying so late ( ... )

It's okay, that happens to me too. I'm on break from school right now, so it's really easy for me to get distracted by things with my family and other non-Internet things. I'm very bad with the Internet during this time of year. I do try to keep up with people to some degree, though! I was actually planning to read your other stories as well, and I do intend to...once I manage to wake up before 1 PM, and thus have some time to myself. XD ( ... )

Ah shiny things, why must you be so shiny and distracting? Yeah I’m on holidays too but these are my summer ones and I’ve been working quite a bit. Which is good as I need money for uni but doesn’t leave much time for other things ( ... )

Ahh, lucky! I'm in job-hunt mode now, but I haven't had much luck finding anything. What sort of job do you do? Do you enjoy it ( ... )

My main job is delivering pizza's a couple of times a week which is pretty cool and as I have a really decent sense of direction it works really well. It's fun and I must be one of the only girls doing it. ^^ My other one is once a week at a childrens play centre where I do coffees and parties and stuff and I enjoy doing that too. Beats service at Macca's that's for sure. (I did that before I started year 12 so while I haven't done it for a few years it still wasn't exactly fun ( ... )

And my previous response was too long, so here are my thoughts on how Juudai and Johan differ ( ... )

This is a really interesting interpretation of Johan! It's definitely not how I saw him at first, but I always love hearing how other people look at characters. They're all really quite malleable, because we don't get a lot of details in the series about who they are, so I think a lot of it is totally up for interpretation. Based on this explanation I can really see why so many people like him--that never really made sense to me, but it really does now. You seem to have a pretty encyclopedic knowledge of GX--I've only seen it once and my memory is pretty fail, so I really wouldn't be able to give as many details as you have, and I'm impressed. I should watch it again at some point, but I want to finish DM first ( ... )

Well even the characters in cannon pointed out how similar they are. I didn't see it but that would colour a lot of peoples interpretations of them, especially as we know so little of one of them at that point. I really do like Johan though, and I don't even remember how that happened. I noticed that in the opening credits of season 4 Johan was there and I couldn't wait for him to appear but before that I only had a passing interest in him. It was just one of tose things I guess. ^^ Anyway it was then that I noticed I really liked him. It was a little surprising actually. And yes as with any piece of work everyone brings their own experiences to it and sees things in a different way. I suppose the Gem Beasts help my bias a little ( ... )
