also, argh nausea why
→ You know, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. The parts of it I like? I really like a lot. But the parts of it I don't? Gah. It's not really love/hate so much as love/disdain. (To clarify, this is... about certain episodes (most of them before episode 8, oops worst fan of this series ever), and maybe certain characters. Or really, certain characters before certain episodes, i.e. I couldn't stand Kittan until after the timeskip. Although on the subject of being embarrassed by TTGL, a lot of the merchandising is. a bit much for me.)
I downloaded it again recently, and these subtitles are... not very good. They're clumsily worded, occasionally have typos, and have Simon calling Kamina 'Aniki' (rather than translating it to 'bro' or something) which some people probably prefer but it just seems trite to me. I'll take an english equivalent over misc. japanese in my subtitles any day. Anyway though, so I was watching those episodes and thinking, 'Man, this is almost putting me off. Maybe I should stop watching now, lest it ruin my enjoyment of Rossiu's arc.'
spoilers: IT REALLY, REALLY DIDN'T.
Nnngh, Rossiu Adai you are my forever girl.
→ This was going to be an unsubtle segue into lengthy traditori chatter, because I am enjoying it very much! But my dad has just called and assigned me THINGS TO DO. This is terrible, as you are being deprived of all kinds of wonderful things now. I was going to do a Pokémon meme I owe, and chatter about original characters some, and ALL KINDS OF MARVELLOUS THINGS. Let's keep this RP bit brief but existent, at least.
- Oops, not feeling Dora so far. Nice one, self. Must do some re-reading today, in between other things. This isn't to say I'm not enjoying playing him, I guess, but... I don't know, maybe I just miss having a Momo to abuse, hahah. O DORA.
- Having GREAT fun with hurr hurr Rossiu, however. Watch him get killed in the first round now. I really wanted to chatter at length about his thoughts and stuff so far, I am so into this you have no idea, but argh things to do. So far, he likes Commandant Grants, he's irritably bemused by the girl who's insisting on calling him Dobato, he's frustrated by how accepting most people seem to be of the situation they're trapped in (though he hasn't resolved his own feelings on this yet), and Konata basically asked him if he was gay for Simon JUST OUTTA NOWHERE. I was trying so hard to just. keep my nonsense half-fanon away from this game. IT HAS NO BEARING HERE ANYWAY, WHY WOULD IT COME UP. No reason at all! BUT NOPE. Suddenly BAM! Konata fourth wall's my efforts into the dirt in record time. Rossiu is far too repressed for this shit, god damn it. XD;
- He's already deciding 'it's my duty to save as many people as possible, no matter what it takes' (takes being synonymous with costs, when it comes to him). Because that's what he does. If he stays in this game for a while, you can probably look forward to a full blown mental breakdown as he piles more and more weight and guilt and pressure on himself. THIS. IS. POLITICSSSSS.
→ Pokémon and OC's and further nonsense later, I'm sure. For now, stuff. to be done.
