The Old Man and the Wii
I don't talk about my personal life much on this journal, mainly because well -- I don't really have an interesting life, especially when it comes to my friends and family. I mean, they're all extremely interesting people. But I'm not. And I tend to get along with them reasonably well. There's not much drama
( Read more... )
D: I read it! And pftttttt, I think fandom rather wants you to write more hikaru no ninja. :X Or maybe that's just me. ...No, no, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. <3
I was going to request something like Hikaru trying to prove himself and getting into Escapades, but then I realized that that always happens anyway. So uhhhh.
But fluff! With. Um. Fluff with. *blanks* Word prompt: realization. Am uncreative at best, haha.
As for games... I don't play much on the wii myself (my baby is that PS3, heh), but uh. Super Smash Brothers is fun (would he mind cartoony at all? It amuses me in any case). I don't have many games for the wii, heh.

His earliest memory of what it might mean to be one, however, comes from when he was three years old; in his mind, there is the bright square of light that came from an open doorway, and weight of his father's large hand on his head, ruffling his hair.
"I'll be back, soon, Akira-kun."
He remembers stumbling after his father, but warm arms had scooped him up. He remembers watching that impossibly big back -- big as the world! -- disappear from his sight. He remembers reaching out, grasping nothing but air, but still wanting to follow, oh so very much.

Two years later, and he is five. He remembers, this time, the weight of the kunai in his hand. His father has let him hold it while his father is packing his weapons belt.
When his father holds out a hand, Akira expertly twirls the blade, just right, in that so that the handle faces the waiting fingers, but also so that he does not cut himself. His father doesn't say a word, but Akira can sense the approval ( ... )

Touya Akira is an equal character in this series, and I think he's going to get more fic in the future. Even if this scares ME muchly.

And man, that was a long rambly sentence of run on doom, wasn't it?! 0_o
But um, thank you! X3 Hehe, it makes writing all this insanity a little less lonely.

I LOVE this bit of backstory. The fact that Akira is not born with the bloodline limit, and that he's working toward it, and that Hikaru is going to be the one who helps him find it. And the fact that you're not telling us what the bloodline limit actually IS is quite maddening.

In the first line, he says he doesn't remember the first time he wanted to become a shinobi. But then a couple paragraphs later you write, "He remembers reaching out, grasping nothing but air, but still wanting to follow, oh so very much." It feels a bit contradictory to me.

What I was trying to go for there is that he doesn't know, at that point, that he wants to be a shinobi, but that he wants to follow his father, even if he doesn't know what that means until much later in his life. His first memories are of watching his father's back disappear into the distance, and vowing to follow after.
But I can see where that's a bit cornfuzzling on my part. *very very embarrassed* Thank you so much for pointing that out to me. I really should rewrite all the comment fic up more officially -- the series feels rather haphazard at times since a good portion of it is written as comments and on the fly. *G*
<3 <3 thank you for the concrit!!!

ps: As to your question about the limit, and Touya ... it's really spectacular, but um, it has conditions and um ... XD You'll see. Yes, I'm baiting you. Yes, because I'm evil that way.
