Ssssssssssssssssso.
My grandmother, you know? She loves classical music, and she's getting old. She wants to see the birthplace of music while she still can.
A week ago she said she wants to take me and my parents to
Germany
Summer 2009
yyyyyyyyyyeah
I've already talked this over with several people, and mostly my problem is like this: I travel to eat, but I have a fundamental disagreement with about half the foods Germany is famous for, so why the fuck would I get on a flight of several hours to go there? The solution that comes most readily is for me to turn it into a trip to a fairytale world they have gorgeous landscapes that are too beautiful to ever possibly exist, and lots of cake. So basically like Japan, only all the savory food is really cholesteroltastic, and instead of knowing what I'm doing and where I'm going because I can read the signs, I have to depend on someone else for stupid shit like that.
OH GOD SOMEBODY SAVE ME
tl;dr i r spoiled brat who can't appreciate Europe (Yang even called me a bourgeois). Comfort me.

Oh, I see! Thanks for the explanation. You can do something similar with radishes by cutting notches and leaving them in water for an hour. They look like roses. ^^ (In that cheesy playing-with-your-food type way)
I don't remember that much about that part of the manga, but yeah! :) I love seeing characters when they were young and cute because it adds an extra dimension to their appeal.
That said, it's actually really painful how Roy's ideals were completely shattered there. And the author doesn't shrink from showing the nastiness of a situation so it's Aaaaagh I want more Roy scenes in the manga now. *shakes fist* Not enough Ling either. *big fan of Xingese characters* *wants an OAV* *uses asterisks*
They are cute. I read ciceqi's FF7 fic for Zack+Cloud-ness. XD (Have you read it? Her Mascotverse stories are adorable and funny :) And she also includes Aeris, which is nice. I would be super happy if I could find a good story with Reeve in it, because I like Reeve, but.) Are you playing Crisis Core, then?
re: Havoc Well, you know! Looks out for everybody without saying much. He's a good neesan candidate (that sounds so weird) Pinako definitely.
Xiaomeiwhy do I remember the name of the mini panda and not the character? Mei Chan would be a brave young boy and, hmm, Lan Fan a dedicated knight. Roy as Lust is frankly too scary to think about which means it is probably a successful idea. Al would be fun to switch especially if Ed is still a guy.....It's times like this when I realize just how weird my mental processes are. 妄想爆走命がけ~
GIRL KYON IS SO CUTE T_T It's like a shoujo manga in this version! You know, there's the obnoxiously strong guy who pulls her into his plans and there are several cute guys who save her from the forces of evil and secretly love her, but only she can rescue him from his EMO and save the world with her love and moe ponytail! And the sizable segment of Nagato-kunxKyonko fans will GO DOWN WITH THEIR SHIP and and and uh this really is completely braindead. My grandchildren will see this comment in sixty years and disown me. OTL OTL OTL
It's not just the Japanese, it's the fangirl part. I'm poisoned eternally.
PS I probably beat you in the verbosity quotient there. ^^;

And the author doesn't shrink from showing the nastiness of a situation, so it makes it impossible to really whitewash the characters we love, too.

re: Roy I have my own fantasy that he was a star student in military school: excruciatingly smart, but not particularly strong socially and very naive. Then they sent him to burn civilians to death. Hughes, who was always the friendly guy in his class, saw another classmate with great potential floundering around with no support, and stepped in to give Roy hugs and cuddles. ...ってのはダメかな。ダメね。ハイ。
re: Cloud I read ciceqi's fanfic about Cloud getting a Mako shot and seeing PRETTY COLORS!!!!! @_@ And Zax and Aeris help him. I'm aware that she's written what looks like volumes about Sephiroth/Zax/Cloud/Aeris. If you're looking for Reeve, what I think of first is Conscience of the King (http://www.midgar.net/king/). It's mainly Rufus x Reeve, and it's rated NC-17. The also Turks make frequent awesome appearances, Tifa plays an important role and even Scarlet has a moment (just one. She's still an idiot). Alternatively, if you don't visit BishounenInk every so often, you should, because they are an institution among video game fangirls. They include Reeve in their FF7 stories, the one I remember best being the Christmas one, but there are others.
re: all the genderswitch, I would love it if Ling was a naughty tomboy princess and Lan Fan was her loving but exasperated knight. Al seems almost TOO likely a candidate for genderswitch. His body language as a suit of armor is occasionally strikingly feminine, and, of course, his voice. =_=
I'm not sure this is anything you'd be willing to look at, but have you seen the doujinshi where...Yuki...announces...that Kyon...has a computer sex virus that will make him horny and then kill him or something...and she has um analyze his output...but that doesn't work...so she insists that he hook directly into her input...etc. ...all told, I think it's more hysterically funny than sexy. Unfortunately I don't even know what it's called.
...I can't believe I wrote this much about porn. u_u Ummm re: food that gets cute while cooking, there's a lot of onion "blossoms," here. They cut the onion before cooking, bread it, deep-fry it whole, and the cut strips poof out into things that taste like onion rings. LOL who am I kidding, that is a common find is family restaurants, I AM NOT COMPETING TO FIND CUTE FOOD REALLY I'M NOT.
re: FMA manga I can't read it anymore, it's too heavy. Just tell me what happens when it's over and I will celebrate or scream accordingly.

Your backstory sounds pretty accurate to me ^^ Hughes is a nice guy so I can definitely see that happening! Not that Roy would appreciate it properly.
Hmm, I see that's by one of the people who used to work for LJ! That's interesting. Thanks for the link~
...As a general rule I avoid H, so no I haven't read that doujin. ;) (I don't read fanfics like that either though I will read fanservicy manga like Air Gear or Enchanter if the plot/art are good) But I'm a fan of Nagato/Kyon (and even Kyon/Mikuru, dammit, they're aaagh so cute) Which raises the question WHEN will we get a release date for Haruhi season 2!!! Not only is that getting delayed but the novels have been on hiatus for months now too. :( I'm happy to get more Clannad, but still!
Well, I've never seen onion blossoms... then again we never go to restaurants. (there are kosher restaurants but my family is comprised of hermits)
