Sakura =/= Chibiusa, and I ought to know that

[000_hester_000]

CCS was giving me major deja vu for no discernable reason until I realized that I'd watched, like, half of an episode of the English dub when I was ten and thought it was a Sailor Moon ripoff. For some reason, this freaks me out to no end, although I've no idea why exactly. I'm having the same problem here as with the first part of Count Cain:

I got used to the art style after a while...and Rika's relationship isn't that weird. To me, at least. And my sister. Though I guess we're weird anyway. Um.

What exactly are panic attacks like, anyway? I feel as if I've seen one before, but I'm not sure. You're welcome to come over here if you want a break from her.

But she's like, ten or so, and he bought her an engagement ring! It freaked me out, anyway.

There seem to be two different things that they diagnose as panic attacks. She basically freaks out to the point where she can't function... apparently. She looks fine to me, so I guess she's learned to deal with them. I have random fits of heart palpatations that aren't actually connected to my mood in any way, so I don't really know why they're called panic attacks. They did land me in the er once, though. Fun times.

Didn't bother me at all when I saw that. First thought in my head was "Awwwww~~"

Sounds more like a heart attack than a panic attack. Maybe they call it that because you're too young for strokes or something?

[000_hester_000]

But it just brings... terrible, terrible images to mind. Or maybe it's just that I've been reading the sporking of Little Miss Mary recently. *Shudders*

I'm pretty sure you won't die from a panic attack though. I think I remember my grandma saying that lots of people in her family died from strokes, though.

I really liked the art in the later books, which is probably why the first ones weirded me out so much. I looked at them and thought, how is this going to turn into that?

I'm only into volume 4, but so far it's very cute and homoerotic. Everyone but Sakura is gay, which I find very amusing for some reason. And there are random lesbians, which manga needs more of imho. I don't know; I like it, I guess, but I'm also only really reading it so I have the background for Tsubasa and xxxHolic and for Clow. Cllllloooooowwwwww!Also, you've reminded me that I need to start reading FMA again. I guess I was sort of put off by its introductory over-happiness, too. I remember that Lust and Envy totally pwned though, and I still kinda want a tattoo of the ouroboros (which I do like as a symbol anyway, regardless of its connection to FMA

[000_hester_000]

The original art looks somewhat old-fashioned to me. Not that that's a bad thing, I guess, but it's not at all my favorite style. Even though it's not actually the same, it reminds me of Rumiko Takahashi, and she's been in manga since... the 70's, I think?

It's a great symbol, especially since it isn't just FMA related.

Repetition, dissolution, and solitude... it is a very me symbol. *Is pompous*

It's probably also the reason that we still keep reading them, despite that we know about the annoying, never-ending fights...

Yeah, quite probably. I mostly read Bleach because I like the fandom (even if it's also full of really annoying fourteen-year-olds), although I do also trust KT's plotting enough that I expect something, uh, unexpected to happen after all the fight scenes.

As far as your roommate goes, she might not be willing to deal with them at this point in time, and nothing anyone does is going to help her. :(

Gah, I hope not. She seems to be feeling better today, anyway.

And I ship everyone with everything in Bleach...
