-I am beginning attempt #5,821 to organize my life and be more productive. It involves a whiteboard and lists! Oh boy! I can't wait to see how long this takes to end in failure
( Read more... )
Oh I can't wait to see your Renn Faire pictures--in part because I have yet to attend one at all. :|
Have you ever read the Slayers/Lord of the Rings crossover oneshot? It really is the best thing since... gosh I don't know but there's a crossover and there's a crossover.
Xilia <3 I've been on a kick with looking under every internet rock for Xellos/Filia stuff all. Summer. Long. I need to gif TRY episode ten where she calls him a piece of filth and he's visibly offended.
Unfortunately it'll be just pictures of the stuff I bought since I was too lazy to take pictures while I was actually there, but it was a lot of fun! This is my second year there and it's something I want to do every summer. Thankfully the Bristol one isn't that much of a drive from where I live.
I haven't, but that sounds like an awesome pair!
Looooove that moment. And he *totally* wanted to fuse magic with her. No matter what he says, he can't hide it!
Oh man, I have a file of its English translation on my laptop. The art is great and there's a really good Xellos cameo in it. Let me know if you're interested and I'll upload it!
YEAH HE WANTED TO ~FUSE~ WITH HER. I love how he'll only make barbs at her when she makes them at him first, which leads me to headcanon that he doesn't mind taking the backseat of things between them because he likes it when she gets feisty and dominant.
But then I think it stems from mommy issues and I have to stop.
DEFINITELY. XD Yeah, I find it really funny how basically shortly after they first meet he'd totally civil to her before she explodes on him and builds a barbed wire fence to cage him in. He usually takes insults and stuff from the others in stride but Filia... she's really good at getting to his pride.
Their initial meeting ('A pretext is a pretext.' 'UGHHHH!') is always so fun to watch. She's really the only one who's outright rude to him, which is such a shame because he's probably one of the most polite characters in the series. Yet it's just so... hot. XD
Ooooh! The art looks so epic (like... in the actual sense of epics, not just to mean cool)! I'll look forward to reading this :) Thanks!
XD I think she just has NO clue how sexual-tensiony it all starts to sound after awhile. Yet, I'm pretty sure Xellos does. Which makes it even more fun.
The art is fantastic! I think that has to be my most favorite rendition of Lina. She looks even more pretty and I sure love that little accessory over her bandana. And no problem. :)
The entire time in my first run of TRY when I was trying to get the feel about the characters, I was really hoping he would make a comment or two about her tail popping out or naked jokes. There were a LOT of missed opportunities for those, but he is a gentleman, in his own right. xP
YES HIS FAN CLUB OMFGGG that moment was just gold. I laugh IRL every time I see it. It's just so great. And Zelas dragging him away. There needs to be art or fic about his fan club. I'm glad I found that doujin on Tumblr. The ending is hilarious too. "IT DOESN'T FIT!"
Wait, where does he do that?! It's so sad but funny how he abuses her to feed off of her negative vibes, like how he warped away right when she tried to maim him at the ruins and she crashed on her face. Or make her seem like a heathen to her people. Or just everything he does to her. Even when he surprises her by saving her once in a while. Should have been more Filia in the anime. D:
I would looooove to see the fanclub pop up sometime again. Poooooooor Xellos (except that I don't really feel sorry for him and am instead laughing at his pain).
It's in the runaway ruin episode right after she falls on her face (here). And yeah, he is soooooo good at getting to her. :( I really wish she was around more. It makes me kinda annoyed that there wasn't at least a cameo of her in Evolution-R considering they were looking for the Hellmaster's Jar and she sells jars/vases. I hope she shows up in some form of Slayers media again.
The fans are all attractive women too. OH MAN if Filia got wind of that, I can't help but think it her tail would pop with seething possessiveness irritation.
I learned that Kanzaka actually dislikes Slayers TRY, even though he helped write the season :/ I know it isn't exactly canon to the novels but I think TRY is a big part of the reason why many fans gravitate towards the anime a bit more. For one thing, it fleshes the universe more with the barrier thing and the conflicts in the chain of being for the gods and monsters. And the fan service. It surprised me when I learned that Filia is anime-only. Yeah, I agree, that would have been a cool incorporation of her in later seasons. And she still needs to pay Lina for agreeing to save the world LOL.
Explains why Knight of the Aqualord is kinda the "alternative" to Try. But yeah, I think it's a shame. It's a great season and it's the one that feels the "biggest" to me. I have heard that there's a Kanzaka interview where he said something to the effect that he was glad that Filia had been introduced because he prefers Lina to be with Gourry and there's a really strong Xellos/Lina fandom, so he was glad that someone had come along who Xellos would be more "interested in" or something to that effect. So maybe there's some hope for her character yet. After all, Try got a few small mentions in the new seasons even if Filia herself didn't come up.
I can see it now. "W-WHY ANYONE WOULD HERALD A FILTHY THING LIKE YOU IS BEYOND ME ANYWAY." Oh but lolololol at the fact that his fans are all sexy Nazgul.
I am halfway through with Aqualord and as entertaining as it is (Lyos is such a little brat but an adorable brat), I can't help but think it doesn't give as much oomph as TRY does, but that's probably just my bias speaking since I'm such a sucker for world-building and the mystical lore of it all. TRY could have used a little more heartwarming or slap-your-knee moments that NEXT can fulfill, but I still like the seriousness of it all. OHMYGOSH THAT PROPHECY IS NO BULLSHIT THIS BIRACIAL GODMONSTER LIVED A BAD LIFE AND NOW HE CRAYCRAY HE WANTS TO KILL US ALL WE'RE IN A RATRACE WITH ETHEREAL BEINGS FOR STUFF THAT COULD HELP US SURVIVE AND OH WAIT NVM WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER BOOM DE YADA. In some ways, I think the ending of TRY could have been a better series ending than Evo-R served (the last episode of Evo-R really was badass though. Xellos saving everyone twice! <3

He kept it pretty classy for the most part. ...Though he DID stand on her ass that one time. DON'T THINK NO ONE NOTICED THAT, XELLOS.
