OMG I NEED those keychains. NEED, I tell you.

I've watched it too! Blue Wind! :D :D :D So cool. And the best Yurram moment! *is giddy*

All of those pairing choices are brilliant!

Edited because KKM post needed KKM icon.

I was the same way! Hee! I also want THESE!!!!! because Conrad has a duckie and Gwendal has a kitty! And Wolfram has a bee bear! (And poor Gunter has the psycho doll!)

I would have loved for the ep to have been longer because it was a "Conrad is awesome" ep through and through. (even with the Yuuram fanservice! He so would have hugged or at the very least touched him if Wolfram didn't interrupt! :-P)

I really want to write the Gwendal/Dan Hiri one (I loved that ep!) I just have to figure out when I'm going to set it, and @ how old Gwendal is. :-P

This fandom is going to KILL me with the cute. MUST HAVE THOSE, TOO! So my little Yuuri-doll and my little Wolfram-doll can make snugglies and damn I wish there was a little Greta-doll too!

I definitely was a "Conrad is awesome" ep. Because Conrad is awesome. And potential-kingly and heroic. (Although whether or not Yuuri would've eventually hugged Conrad, he freaking launched himself at Wolfram. :P Like, 'Oh, there's my bishonen! In one piece! I will pounce on him now.')

Gwendal/Dan Hiri is just intriguing. It really works in an odd way I'd never have thought of - I hope you do write it!

[midnitemaraud_r]

Hee! It's terrible, isn't it? It's like an epic collision between hot and cute. :-P

Launched? *g* Wolfram totally looked constipated or something when Yuuri hugged him - I swear! I was like "ZOMG! The Face! Now who's the wimp?" :-P Conrad remains and grows ever more awesome, and he looks fabulous in blue.

It is an odd pairing. I was rewatching the ep the other night, and this bunny popped into my head. (Maybe the one Gwendal was knitting *g*) I have to finish out end of the month/end of the year crap (I'm drowning in W-2s!) but then I want to sit down and see if I can make it work. Hmmm.

[priestess_grrrl]

awww, thanks, babe! I too am waiting on tenterhooks for Gaiden. And I'm so not ready for... it. I mean, it's almost worse that we know what's going to happen ahead of time... the anticipation is killing meeeee...!

[midnitemaraud_r]

Well, this chapter at least is not "it". Word is that the next Ward cover is devoted to Konzen. *cries in advance* All four of them are on this month's. But it's still killing me because I want to know all of the details of everything! *wibbles*

[midnitemaraud_r]

The candle's a nice distraction from the text error by whoever made the graphic. "a fun"? (Unless that's his name :-P)

The first fic is always the most daunting - will I get the feel of the world right, the characters, the language and dialogue quirks...? But the fact that it's a made up world makes it a bit easier - I'm so lost when it comes to Japanese and other Eastern cultures and even research doesn't seem to help because I'm still hopelessly outside it all. But it makes me appreciate (and stand in a bit of awe) at how others from different cultures write in Western fandoms.

I peeked at the wiki for Bleach, and there are so many characters! Eeep! But it does look fun. Maybe eventually... :-P

[midnitemaraud_r]

Hee! KKM has a lot of characters, too - the biggest problem there seems to be how the names are spelled - it's different in the manga, the novels, and the various subbed versions of the anime, including the "official" subs/dubs by Geneon. Drives me a bit batty. I'll stick with the novel/manga spellings though. :)

Ah, Merlin! I've downloaded 10 of the 13 eps - now to find some time to watch it.

I cheered when I saw your sign-up for springtime_gen! *has been stalking the sign-up post*

[midnitemaraud_r]

Hee! I've been peeking at it myself! It was comforting to see so many familiar names. I can't wait to get my assignment!
