I took screenshots from L2, I really did, and I meant to put them up here! I REALLY DID! But then I got talking about Hitsugaya and Ed and s;dfgha;oigbb I WAS VERY BUSY. REALLY. They're all screenshots of my Dwarf doing acrobatics in Rune Township. In Arcana Robe---I WASN'T THINKING! I have two characters with subclasses now. Bounty Hunter -> Warlock and Prophet -> Silver Ranger (What was I thinking? I wanted Spellsinger)

I got Hitsugaya on a matchmaking test, but my friend got him too so now Hitsugaya is easy, and then somehow that led to Hitsugaya in a suit at a fancy event, with a girl (taller than him) hanging off of each arm.

Then I was shown Arakawa's sketch of Ed at 29.

(11:14:50 PM) Me: What'll his voice sound like then
(11:15:06 PM) My Excellent Comrade: Ooo, bet it would be much deeper.
(11:15:13 PM) Me: ...yeah
(11:15:18 PM) Me: Maybe...husky?
(11:15:49 PM) Me: I keep covering my face and going, OH MY VIRGIN EYES, and then looking again

(11:43:14 PM) Me: PATH
(11:44:16 PM) My Excellent Comrade: lol xD
(11:44:48 PM) Me: You know, the bath of good, like when you eat a piece of cake while taking a bath

HEY WAIT THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FMA

(12:06:05 AM) Me: One of my goals in life is to deflower a Jedi >_> I KNOW HOW BAD IT IS BUT COME ON
(12:06:16 AM) Me: THEY HAVE SWORDS AND THEY'RE STRONG AND THEY HAVE A CODE OF ETHICS
(12:06:16 AM) My Excellent Comrade: ...
(12:06:18 AM) Me: THAT'S SUPER
(12:06:26 AM) Me: And those rat tails
(12:06:26 AM) My Excellent Comrade: Especially if that Jedi may be an Elric? xDDD
(12:06:30 AM) Me: Yeah, well
(12:06:32 AM) My Excellent Comrade: lol
(12:06:53 AM) Me: I want to deflower the Elrics anyway
(12:07:48 AM) My Excellent Comrade: True

(12:38:05 AM) My Excellent Comrade: Tim is totally curled up against the edge of the rooftop on his side, going "I hate stake-outs. Don't these guys know it's a school night?"
(12:38:07 AM) My Excellent Comrade: WIN.
(12:39:08 AM) Me: Awwwwww
(12:39:23 AM) Me: He's sleepy =w=
(12:39:29 AM) Me: ...be better if Ed was sleepy
(12:39:39 AM) Me: Hah Ed falls off the roof because he fell asleep
(12:40:06 AM) Me: All the criminals' heads whip around as there is a crash from the bushes and a lot of loud squawking
(12:40:48 AM) My Excellent Comrade: HAHAHAHA
(12:41:09 AM) My Excellent Comrade: Ed is not very useful on stake-outs.
(12:41:12 AM) My Excellent Comrade: He gets bored easily.
(12:41:43 AM) My Excellent Comrade: And the game of "let's try to snatch the binoculars" is only entertaining once in a - no, it's never entertaining.
(12:41:45 AM) Me: Heh
(12:41:51 AM) Me: ...not on the roof, anyway
(12:41:59 AM) My Excellent Comrade: Plus, Ed is a klutz.
(12:42:10 AM) My Excellent Comrade: He is a klutz AND a monkey.
(12:42:15 AM) Me: Ed is too into running around and destroying things
(12:42:15 AM) My Excellent Comrade: I've never quite gotten that.
(12:42:18 AM) Me: Not being sneaky
(12:42:21 AM) Me: And clomping
(12:42:35 AM) Me: And when he takes along Al, AND HE ALWAYS DOES, he can't sneak anyway
(12:42:50 AM) My Excellent Comrade: He'll fall off the roof, slam into the adjoining fire escape and manage to flip and hit the wall and land fine. Except for the, you know, SLAMMING BODILY INTO THE FIRE ESCAPE part of the thing.
(12:43:02 AM) Me: ...LMAO
(12:43:04 AM) Me: .......
(12:43:08 AM) Me: WHY IS THIS SO AMUSING
(12:43:14 AM) Me: My god, Al is quieter than Ed and he's a suit of armor
(12:43:20 AM) Me: CLOMP CLOMP CLOMP
(12:43:24 AM) My Excellent Comrade: Exactly.
(12:43:27 AM) My Excellent Comrade: Al is a ninja.
(12:43:29 AM) Me: Roy: Oh, Ed must be coming up the hall =_=
(12:43:31 AM) Me: Heh
(12:43:57 AM) Me: Stomping, red-faced, loud, dramatic...leather pants
(12:44:00 AM) My Excellent Comrade: It's really easy to spot Ed's footsteps regardless of stomping or regular walking anyway.
(12:44:03 AM) My Excellent Comrade: They don't sound right. [Note: But then...]
(12:44:04 AM) Me: Does he still wear black leather pants at 29
(12:44:14 AM) My Excellent Comrade: HAHAHA OH GOD PLEASE YES I WANT TO SEE THAT ASS
(12:44:18 AM) Me: Does the leather squeak when he walks
(12:44:56 AM) My Excellent Comrade: ....... IF I HAVE PERVY DREAMS I'M TOTALLY BLAMING YOU.

(12:47:15 AM) Me: So what do we have on Ed at 29
(12:47:18 AM) Me: He's a looker.
(12:47:26 AM) Me: He has a deeper, possibly husky voice
(12:48:05 AM) Me: He has the ass that was given to low, small mortals by the Gods to bring us hope and joy low, mean mortals by the gods to help our civilization advance
(12:48:18 AM) Me: And he maybe wears shiny black leather pants on it
(12:48:57 AM) Me: ...............
(12:49:24 AM) Me: "I like my coffee like I like my men, naked and chained up in the basement?" >3>

(1:00:12 AM) Me: ...you didn't tell me about page 15 of this sketchbook
(1:00:53 AM) My Excellent Comrade: *goes to see what's on page 15*
(1:01:01 AM) Me: Al is drying his crotch by flipping the towel between his legs and letting it hit his ass
(1:01:12 AM) Me: Ed is drinking milk and weighing himself
(1:01:30 AM) Me: Roy is clothed in a bathrobe and sitting in a vibrating chair
(1:01:35 AM) My Excellent Comrade: ...
(1:01:42 AM) My Excellent Comrade: Roy + magic fingers = OTP?
(1:01:46 AM) Me: ...
(1:02:00 AM) Me: The comment next to Roy doing a dancing pose is "Saturday Night Fever"
(1:02:09 AM) Me: Roy instead of John Travolta...OH SHIT
(1:02:24 AM) Me: And Ed chopping the top off a beer bottle like I saw in an old documentary
(1:03:03 AM) Me: Roy dancing like a sexy motherfucker
(1:03:05 AM) Me: THAT'S IT
(1:03:09 AM) Me: CRITICAL MASS
(1:03:11 AM) Me: OVERLOAD
(1:03:19 AM) Me: I HAVE BROKEN MY OWN BRAIN

Also note: Ed has his hair slicked back on page 27, and he looks like some sort of awful mafia child. This is freaky.

Yeah, that's it...I wasted time getting killed in L2 and talked with my friend for like four hours...yeah, what did you do >_>

I also have been reading Prism Time, which is a collection of Naoko Takeuchi's one-shot stories, including her debut from like 1985 or something...girls asking the boys they like for the second button on their school jacket, permed hair, short poofy shirts and long skirts, new and fashionable milk tea ice cream, no cell phones and very few beepers?! Hysterical, but the male love interests are rather likeable compared to what you get today.

I think that scene is in the second volume. It looked fine in the store... ._. Especially what I don't like is that the main character Learns a Life Lesson from all the poor treatment. There's a short story by Tachikawa Megumi that illustrates this problem well. I don't feel like talking about it, but when I read it my only thought was, "Oh, how the mighty have fallen." (She wrote Saint Tail.) It's like soap operas always showing women falling in love with the men who raped them once...it's so backwards.

I have always avoided Hana Yori Dango because I knew it involved ijime, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Now I have a very specific reason for not bothering.

Let's see...wiki says in Hot Gimmick the love interest blackmails the main character into being his slave... :/ and he pushes the main character down a flight of stairs. It says it was unintentional. Sure, he didn't mean to, he just can't control himself like the rest of us when I gets mad! :/ Yeah, I'm going to avoid that like the plague. Thanks for the tip.

Hey...I know you've probably seen me mention it a thousand times, but Renai Catalog by Nagata Masami is a long-running, popular shoujo series, and it really doesn't have this nonsense with the love interest being horrible to the main character. ...in fact, the main character's little sister, Tane, punches the love interest's litte brother, Ryuuji, in the face, and then Ryuuji totally gets a crush on Tane. Anyway, it's over 30 volumes so you'll have to save your pennies for it, but it's one of the more soothing and good stories I've read. (I'd go as far as saying I was bored the first time I read it, but I liked it better later.)

[narugami.livejournal.com]

Haha, I never read that one. Sounds cute though! It kind of seems to me that shoujo is more explicit than it used to be? Maybe I'm just being an old codger though.

Tachikawa Megumi?! But I love her Dream Saga! ;_; (though I haven't finished collecting it and haven't even started on St Tail yet) Damn, that sucks. And I was wondering what she'd been up to after Mink o_o

Deshou?! I know the art is nice but I really don't understand why anyone would want to read something like that. I would want to reach in the book and throttle everybody after two pages XD;

I'll definitely look into it, I love it when there's a good female character to latch on to! XD If you don't mind a recommendation in return, my absolute favorite author for cute romance is Tsukuba Sakura because the atmosphere is so... pure? There's this innocence her characters have that I really love. The author even wrote in one of her books that she doesn't know how to write villains and it's kind of true ^^; but I love her stuff anyway. My favorite of her series is Mekakushi no Kuni, I need more of it :)

Oh, and Isurugi Ayuma XD; But that isn't romantic.

I think aggression is more visible in more things for younger kids, and since this is anime it is always mixed up with sexuality. Which is to say yes :|

I don't think she's been up to much of anything lately, though I don't keep up with the magazine where her stuff usually runs. The most recent thing of hers I read was the story I mentioned above, and it couldn't have been later than 2003. It was a one-shot published in a Christmas Nakayoshi extra volume.

I've thought long and hard about this, and yes, I am mad at everybody just after reading a summary. This is normally a feeling I only get from sitcoms and romantic comedy movies, and I avoid those. So that's that.

Oh---now I want to tag you back, but no pressure. X3 Looseleaf by Mochida Aki is really comforting. The love interest is supposed to be a troublemaker at school, but he's really sweet to the main character. Blue Ribbon, by the same author, isn't quite as soothing, but it has beautiful imagery. I love her art, too.

[narugami.livejournal.com]

That's a pity, I've really liked what I read of her works..

I don't think it's worth thinking long and hard over, it's just a bad story. --;

Hmmm. The thing is that I'm quite certain you've read more than I have! Let me get back to you on this XD
