I failed to sleep last night before truck this week. So today was the first day I got to catch up a little.
This post has been sitting for a while, but I finished it so I'll post.
First:
o.o I forgot how much this show gets inside my head.
Even going to work, I spent the entire time just /thinking/ about Light and Near. I am upset with how he's treating Misa. It's the first time I've been genuinely upset with him, even after everything.
But... I can see where his attraction (if it's genuine) to Takeda is. She's more mature, more sensible, more grounded and far, far more /like/ him. Light it growing up and gaining control of his life... he's just doing it on the level of gods and demons and the world, where normal your people do it in the world of school drama and crappy romance.
Cool thing? This show started out with like... two seiyuu that I knew.
Now?
Miyano Mamoru, Sakamoto Maaya, Ishikawa Hideo, Takahashi Hiroki, Nakai Kazuya, Fujiwara Keiji.
Mmmyep.
I should say that I don't find Near as compelling as L. Maybe it's the toy thing. I can smpathize with food, but not so much with toys. Still cool, but not madly in love with. Light? I'm still pretty much in love with.
I've felt very MTL-ish at work the last few days. I made some effective decisions and signing. Effective, I hope... because I really want the damn tables and quilt centers out of my store. :P I also actually worked a little of seasonal yesterday. This is a step that I've never taken before and it felt nice to be doing something new and productive.
01. The first character I first fell in love with:
Clavis. I picked up Nikki's game, and she's a Scorpio too, so he adored her. And he's so beautiful and serious and strong. I used to date Light, Dark and Water on a fairly regular basis back in the beginning. Though Julious wanted nothing to do with me after an accidental Run in or two in the park with Clavis.
02. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now:
Ernst. Mostly because he was one of 'those ones' the Special 2 trainers who I didn't know. And he was old. But a couple of dates in Trois that I went on entirely for a MoriMori fix... and I was hooked. He's so sweet and adorable. And he has a whole voice message about how you shouldn't drink coffee after you've let it sit out too long because it's gross.
03. The character everyone else loves that I don't:
Arios. Yeah, ok. So he's got leather pants, mismatched eyes and a sordid past. So what? There are plenty of stable, non-schizophrenic boys and men avaliable for dating in Seichi. Most of them can even take you to dinner without kidnapping you or - litterally - vanishing on the spot. So Arios? Why bother.
04. The character I love that everyone else hates:
Rosalia. And I genuinely liked her from the beginning. I bought Duet so that I /could/ play her, and I mock Limoges's stupidity and incompetence for fun. She was brought up for this contest, and I think she's sold short by a lot of people. You can see in Trois how well she handles her position, and while maybe she wouldn't have made the best Queen, she does what she does extremely well.
05. The character I used to love but don't any longer:
Um... no one? I still love the ones I used to like. Maybe Clavis, because I fell for Olivie /hard/. And quiet Clavis never wanted anything to do with me while I was playing my own sign anyway.
06. The character I would shag anytime:
...I know that Oscar is the obvious answer. Though I've said repetedly that if Olivie walked up to me and proposed, I would marry him in a heartbeat.
07. The character I'd want to be like:
Rosalia. She's mature and beautiful and has everything together. She asserts authority when needed without being too pushy (any more), and she has the grace and style to keep her poise even in tough situations. I aspire to that.
08. The character I'd slap:
Francis. It'd be funny to watch him fall over Kime-style in shock. >.> I mean, I love and respect my Guardians of Dark. I do.
09. A pairing that I love:
Olivie/Rosalia. I think they are a perfect compliment. She reminds him that it's necessary to be serious some of the time, and he keeps her taken care of, spoils her sometimes and reminds her that having fun is a good thing too.
I... have so many reasons that I adore this pairing, I can't even begin to explain.
10. A pairing that I despise:
Olivie/Charlie. I hate assumptions. I hate them being made about Olivie. I hate them being made about Kansai boys. I hate mistranslation and people using it to justify their own personal head cannon to the world. And I've found that cosplayers who do this pairing are annoying and prissy. Sorry. Just my facts.
11. The character I feel I'm most like:
Young Limoges a little - I'm still struggling. I want everyone to like me and I want to do everything, but I'm a little scattered. I don't have her faith though. I know that I'm lost and I know that I'm struggling. I only have the hope that I'll pull through it and not the /faith/ that I will. It kind of makes me want to play Haruka 2, to see if I sympathize with Karen more.
More memes coming before work maybe. I need to finish reparing my Seigaku too. I think I want to wear it to work. A whole day and a half off after this. I wish I could stop feeling ill.
