I'm re-watching Young Justice and need to fangirl. XD So I'm bringing over a meme from deviantART whereupon we ask for outside headcanons. It was meant for fan characters but this gave me the perfect excuse to talk Runaways, and offer my own headcanons for my favorite canon cast members. Mainly angst and dark ideas I've been harboring for fan ( Read more... )

This might be something more recognizable to anime fans, but image songs are songs specifically designed to fit the personality of a fictional character, usually performed by the original voice actor (seiyuu in Japanese).

Sometimes I just get into a mood where all I want to do is listen to music. So for the heck of it, here is the "playlist" for Louder Than Words.

I believe I initially learned about AMVs when I went to Otakon in 2003 and sat in on a panel; my first experience was a tribute for Sailor Moon's Ami Mizuno (Sailor Mercury) set to Eiffel 65's "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" (1999). I don't go out of my way to watch ( Read more... )

Offering up another old story I wrote many years ago, this one while I was a teenager and devoted "Broadway Baby".
