~HOMESTUCK~

Hopefully someone else will pick KHR, lol. XD AND I HOPE THE SECOND HALF OF 2011 IS BETTER TO YOU THAN THE FIRST. Actually, I feel more or less the same way myself.

We can hold on to hope for 2011 Jul-Dec. HOLD ON...!

3 favorite relationships
- John-Vriska. Latest updates have had me muffling truly awful noises in my pillows. It shouldn't have worked and yet it did, and it might not work out but it could and they'd be so great together, pushing and shoving and having fun. I am ludicrously invested in their developing a moirallegiance, but whether it ends up as that, friendship, or redrom I will eat it up.
- John-Karkat. So much fun! Their conversations slip in and out of heartfelt sincerity and pain into lolz and that exceptionally creative swearing, and it's hilarious and also makes me want to glue them together what that is a perfectly natural reaction

HI ED

I'M SORRY THE FIRST HALF OF 2011 SUCKED :( MAY THE REST OF IT BE GREAT! Also I am all :( to see that all of us so far on this page have had first-halves-of-2011-that-could-have-been-improved: may things look up for ALL of us!

Also, is your address still the same? I'm thinking of sending you something soon. :)))

I PICK KHR! I was going to pick Homestuck (because I want to know your thoughts!) but makeste has already done it yaaaaaay so I can pick the fandom of my heart :D

Re: HI ED

[demoerin]

I will raise a glass to that wish.

...you are entirely deeply too kind. Yes. My address is still the same. ♥!

Ahah, I'm behind on KHR and rather detached as a result. The main scanlating team makes a significant amount of mistakes and it doesn't seem worth it to keep reading when several times they've put down the literal opposite of what the dialogue meant.

3 favorite relationships
- Nana and the pack of kids that have invaded her house. She has adopted a bunch of complete randoms, and she's just like, cool, there's company! And they adore her.
- Tsuna-Gokudera. Their relationship is this goofball, misunderstood kind of understanding where, by complete accident, they found someone they needed without really seeing it.
- Kyoko-Tsuna. Kyoko treats him like her gay BFF and he's going ':D :D she's talking to me :D :D', and they both go around thinking the other is so neat, and it's adorable. Now if only the 'must protect the girls ... by never letting them in the manga' mindset would die in a fireActually, this question is impossible

Re: HI ED

[thelovemafia]

I have done my homestuck research on tvtropes and wiki and other places! :) SOME of what you say would make sense... not all.

Postcard sent ♥ from Tokyo! :) WISH YOU WERE THEREEE

ugh! terribly sorry to hear about the dialogue mistakes :( that is TERRIBLE.
(on the upside I think your Japanese must be pretty good :D)

- When Gokudera defends Tsuna from that teacher in what, the fourth chapter? From RAEGING to puppy!! in three seconds. Sealed my love for him and 5927.
ME TOO OMG. HEARTS EVERYWHERE. EVERYWHEREEEE
YES THE FANDOM HAS GREAT PEOPLE IN IT. LIKE YOUUU ♥

Re: HI ED

[demoerin]

Spoiler: When I said 'great people' that was a very subtle reference to you. And others. But very much you.

Heck wow I'd like to have been in Tokyo too. At some point I will for real have to save and travel some.

on the upside I think your Japanese must be pretty good :D
If only! I don't speak or read Japanese, but people who do have been shaking their heads sadly and slowly at the recent scanlations. But there's also stuff that's obvious to pick up for fans. Once they translated Mukuro's name as "corpses", which is technically correct, but....... And they put down dialogue for Chrome that made it look like she didn't know Mukuro gave her her organs, while a different translation had the more sensible take on things that she was surprised the other party knew about the illusionary organs deal. So. I MAD GRRR.

3 favorite relationships
- Yugi & Co. I love the relationships between the various components and I love how they're a team. I also love the Bakura is there and not there, and of what it says about him and about them. Also, you know what, Grandpa Mutou is included. He's boss and I like that he takes part in the adventures.
- Valon-Mai. Beautiful trainwreck.
- ALL THE SIBLINGS ALL THE TIME, but most of all Mokuba & Kaiba.

3 favorite characters
There are four and that's that: Thief King Bakura, Bakura, Odion, Kisara. Cannot choose.

3 of my favorite moments
- Confession: sometimes the card games moved me emotionally. (A lot, sob.) But there was one game I really liked, random Battle City filler, where Jounouchi managed to get the Blue-Eyes from Kaiba. It was just like AHAHAHA, TAKE THAT. I like when underdogs get ahead!
- Manga: When Malik has had the memory carved on his back, and there's a panel of Rishid sitting on his bed, waiting for him, his face streaming blood. (And then Malik laughs- Thief King Bakura's intro in the manga is

Hugs are much appreciated., <3

3 favorite relationships
- Gen-Attolia. They are just fascinating.
- Relius + Attolia & Gen. Gen helping Relius overcome the effects of torture, partly because of Attolia and partly just because Gen knew what it was like, was one of the best parts of King of Attolia. And Attolia loves Relius but almost can't let herself, but then she does! And ;__;!
- Costis-Gen. They are hilarious, sweet, and even manage some epic.

Also Gen-his dad because that attempted mercy killing scene after they were captured was heartbreaking. Attolia-Eddis doesn't actually have much of a relationship (well, in the first 3 books, I'm still waiting on #4), but it could be SO INTERESTING

[thelovemafia]

HEARTMARKING THIS SO HARD

SO HAPPY THAT COSTIS MADE IT INTO YOUR 3 FAVOURITE CHARACTERS

BUT GEN DIDN'T :D

i love the covers too. OMG MY HEART. SERIOUSLY.

and yes costis - gen is adorable and epic and i love love love the fic you wrote for it :D

[demoerin]

Possibly I've mentioned this to you, but the third book made me so mad at Gen that it is actually hilarious. Please, laugh at me. But it's just sure, praise the character (I loved him too ... ONCE) but not at the expense of all the other great characters!

Anyway Costis is basically this enormously awesome and huggable golden retriever. Stoic but fluffy guard dog attempting to learn how to gently herd his king back into the fold.

[misura]

For the meme, I pick The Demon's Lexicon trilogy. Of which I still haven't read the third book, even though I'm pretty sure I've got it on my shelves somewhere already. (The key to self-restraint: forgetfulness?)

All signed-up for parallelsfic and getting pretty nervous about my assignment already. Might change my sign-up a few more times before midnight. Ahem.

[demoerin]

Might change my sign-up a few more times before midnight. Ahem.As one does. I have strictly forbidden myself from even thinking about it anymore. Now I'm just looking obsessively at the page with requested and offered fandoms

[misura]

... There's a page with requested and offered fandoms? (Well, of course there would be.)

I'm not sure why I'm not really in the fandom (as in: fanworks) part of these books either, but um, yes. I have feelings about the characters and stuff, but not much of an inclination to either read or write fic. Do love the 'cookies' and snippets.

[thelovemafia]

YES JAMIE-NICK IS ADORABLE MORE MORE MORE

and yes for the happy pile of Alan Nick Jamie Mae and Sin.
