*sigh* Epic post is epic. Again.

[beckerbell]

I keep thinking I should either break these up a bit more (but then I'd be so spammy on people's flists .__.) or write shorter posts and then-- somehow they get longer. idk anymore. .___.

Anyway, usual blah, blah, blah, and then on to Kamen Rider Kabuto ep 14, with SPOILERS for the episode listed at the very least (and very likely into the 30s

[beckerbell]

Anita. ;___; The worst part is that I do this, like, every other day now.

How far into Dexter are you? I'm still halfway through the second season and I haven't picked up the books yet, but. The show is SO GOOD OH MY GOD. SEE, YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO ME. I HAVE AWESOME TASTE.

You stop by getting into the fandoms I tell you to get into. *stare*

[wintersjuly]

arashi on utaban is always entertaining, so... *GOES TO DOWNLOAD* (you have to one day just point me to things you think that missing in arashi fandom would be a crime. because there is so much omg)

well, just saw ep one yesterday and i reallllllly like it (getting the other two seasons right now actually). but if you want the books, i can upload them for you easy. i uploaded book three for wolfie in like, two seconds flat this morning XD (YOU DO HAVE AWESOME TASTE. I'M SO SAD I DIDN'T COME TO THIS REVELATION EARLIER though you did lead me to avatar and what not... XD ;_;)

lajdljklklajdkla i would like to, but there is so much to rage against ncis for that i have to... rage by ficcing it all away?

[beckerbell]

The problem with trying to point out what I think it would be a crime to miss with Arashi is that... they've had so much that's been super-awesome lately! I'll... try to put together a very short list of the most awesome stuff. What's your preferences? Any favorites? All of the group together? Just whatever's been the most awesome?

The tv show version is really good, it's just. One of those shows that I recommend all over the place--even with all the hype it's gotten, I think it lives up to that. (I ALWAYS LEAD YOU TO GOOD THINGS AND YET YOU EXPRESS DOUBT TIME AND AGAIN.)

Well, as long as you're productive... I guess it's okay to keep ficcing for NCIS. XD

[fluttering]

That Ohmiya KEEP DOING IT even when the guest starts screaming at him, is just. I love the tiny little boyfriends of evil.

I love that you referred to Ohmiya as a single. slfs;gk;s ♥

[beckerbell]

Oops. XD I did mean to say "them", but. Well, they MIGHT AS WELL BE A SINGLE most of the time. XDDDD

[fluttering]

I guessed as much, but it seemed too cute to ignore. XD

[beckerbell]

The worst part is that it took me a couple of rereads to even realize what I'd done. orz

[waxrose]

I don't think I've been quite so amused by a VS Arashi in awhile! The moment that I saw that the guy guest was Cunning Takeyama, I was like HOLY SHIT THEY ARE GOING TO MESS WITH HIM SO BAD :DDDD and Kanna-chan, eeee. I was almost in tears when Ohmiya gave him the ball in the unmentionables laughing.

Also, Sho's face when he recounts the points from the first thrid to introduce the Rolling Coin Tower and he's all "And we're 110 points behind..." and Aiba just bluntly says "WELL, THAT'S ALL YOUR FAULT, ISN'T IT." I cracked up.

God, I want fancams of the Aiba/Jun airkisses. WHY? DDDD:. I would also generally kill for fancam, however crappy the quality, of the A.RA.SHI performance at the last concert, because just reading the report made me all sniffly. :)

[beckerbell]

You know, I can forgive the show whatever other faults it might have so long as they keep messing with the guests or just having really awesome people on all the time. I'll forgive the show for the Falling Pipe scores because they let Ohmiya shoot the ball and of course they aim right for the guy's delicate parts EVERY SINGLE TIME. It's even better when they're not sorry about it at all.

While I appreciate the Aiba/Jun gay really a lot, it's kind of torture to know that it exists and that surely at least one fan could have snuck a camera in, whyyyyyy. I've read speculation (I think it was on nyonyo's journal as well?) that they haven't been doing A*RA*SHI because they want to not depend on the popularity/nostalgia of that one song, they want to make it under the power of what they're doing now and I can support that reason for not doing the song

Yay! Epic post!

I'm torn on Kagami's cellphone charm. It's not the first time that I've seen/heard of Tokyo Tower charms, and I know those are popular. And I know fans have confused those with the Eiffel Tower before. But given where Tendou ends up in the end? I almost want to think Kagami's IS the Eiffel Tower.

Okay, that bit in 14, where Tendou loses his shoe? That's the cameo I was telling you about. The dude on the bike is the guy who play Hongo/Hopper 1 in the Kamen Rider movies. Since Kamen Rider The First came out while Kabuto was airing, they snuck him in for a scene.

And Tendou following Kageyama and Kagami? I just... I can't read it as anything other than a 'why are you following my boyfriend, bitch?'. Especially because Tendou blows Kagami off later on.

Though, with the Kabuto Zector... Doesn't the Gattack Zector lead Kagami to Worms? I think the Zectors themselves can sense Worms. Which means the Kabuto Zector could have sensed the Worm traitor in Shadow.

Re: Yay! Epic post!

[beckerbell]

It's really hard to tell because clear shots of the charm are hard to find and they look so similar when they're that small. Like, the miniature in La Salle is definitely the Eiffel Tower, you can see the spaces in the middle that the Tokyo Tower doesn't have. And I don't think Kagami's charm has that same space in the middle that the Eiffel Tower does, so I lean towards it being the Tokyo Tower, but. I think you could make a case for it being the Eiffel Tower, since he works at La Salle, too.

Aha! Okay, that makes a lot more sense for why Tendou has that whole random scene, which I'm willing to chalk it up to that, rather than Tendou losing his cool for some reason within the storyline. XD

It's just. If Tendou is actually in such a pissy mood and doesn't want to help Kagami, why does he follow Kageyama in the first place? He doesn't really have a reason to, other than Kageyama looks kind of suspicious and, well, we've established that Tendou has the social skills of an elementary school kid in front of Kagami

Re: Yay! Epic post!

[angel_negra]

Good point. It could be the Eiffel Tower because of La Salle.

Yeah, unless you know the airing schedules of the two, it really does seem like a scene with a hidden purpose, doesn't it?

I know what you mean. Tendou's having a bad day and part of that bad day is that someone is stalking his boyfriend. Though, I think part of why he blew off Kagami after was the same reason he got all obsessive over the scratch tickets. One thing going wrong for Tendou seems to ruin his whole day and he can't get over it until he fixes that one thing. I mean, his day was just getting worse and worse by the time Kagami came to him for help. So at that point, it was 'get soba/good food or I will fail at helping Kagami.' At least part of it.

*nods* They do seem to have that talent. Now all we need is to figure out how the Scorpion and Dragonfly zectors got to their Riders and we're set. ;)

Re: Yay! Epic post!

[beckerbell]

Which is probably the connection they were going for with Tendou going to France, but it's still kind of. Um. Telling that they (potentially) draw Kagami into that connection as well.

Yeah, and I imagine part of it was also... when you like someone, at least if you're Tendou Souji and you like someone, when you're having a bad day, you're going to take it out on the on you ~*like*~. Not that that was the only reason, I think you're right that Tendou fixates on the one thing that's making his day off and obsesses until it's fixed, then he can be magnanimous and generous with his time again.

I know it's just a toku series, but I kind of REALLY WANT TO KNOW. Do they just show up one day? How the hell did Daisuke get the Drake Extender, too? Did it just show up on his, uh, doorstep one day?

[still_ciircee]

it might be the Eiffel Tower? If so, I uh. Kind of don't know what to do with that.

Assume that Tendou has stared at Kagami's cute phone with its cute charm and thought 'huh...I could go to Paris' ('IN MY PANTS' optional, of course).

Just when I get ready to hunt down the stupid of my fandumbs, you come along with a post that makes me squee. Yay, you!

[beckerbell]

It is rather tempting to let it lead to thoughts of, "Hm, Kagami has an Eiffel Tower cellphone charm. Kagami must like Paris. What's so great about Paris? I know, I'll go to Paris.", isn't it?

I am glad to entertain! Especially if it saves you the trouble of having to go out into the wilds of the fandumbs. They're scary sometimes. .__.

And by "scary", I mean "I am scared I'm going to pop all your little baby fangirl heads off like so many dandelions".
