I love reading comics where when it goes to a kiss-approach you think, "This can't possibly go well..."

Just because you know it *has* to be interrupted, usually disastrously.
Plus, also, I Approve of Gilgamesh growing fangs.



...BTW,
I'm having a free-shipping sale on my yarn.
Heat Wave Retail Therapy! @ GOSSAMERSONG

Tell your friends. Especially if they use yarn. ^_^



I sold my Raven King yarn, not a week after uploading. Which is AWESOME, but I will miss it. my post about it
I probably shouldn't be so loving toward these things.

My list of hopeful projects (geekiness ensues!) is also at that blog.
Sesshoumaru may be born as a batt tomorrow...

Also, Thornmallow, from this book par excellance:

At Tokyo in Tulsa [TnT] my friend found a *fabulous* Sesshoumaru tapestry. Genuinely beautiful. One of the girls in our roving band was saying something about how cool he was, though he lost an arm, and I went...

Me: !...!...!
Me: No, that is WHY he is cool!

This is one of those early-formed ideas that probably makes no sense to many people, I realized as my internal squee peaked out, leaving me incoherent. (I had forgotten about his arm, how do we forget these things?)

  It's the wounds that do it...

I killed off three likely young men in the space of five pages for that kind of glamour. (Annihilating a royal line while I was at it. Very tragic.) {This was a long time ago.}

As a child, I picked my scabs sneakily to try and acquire scars from my minor scratches. WOE, it is now revealed that this can facilitate regrowth without scar tissue.



Anyway, despite baiting as if I had a heady passion for Sesshoumaru, and a subsequent volunteered search for the other not-so-pretty tapestry of him, I had no desire to buy pictures of him. Like the Legolas poster hidden in my closet, there are some characters you just don't change in front of. (If you're silly like me.)

I did buy some Soot Sprite pins!



It must be that spirit of overcoming...

...so here's the comics post!

Okay. I'll put it under a cut.




I have so many trope-challenging story ideas right now, it's not even funny. I'm writing a rejected-makeover that takes on a lot of the crush tropes, but I would like to create one that takes on the sit-com tropes, particularly the *masquerading as a boy/girl* one. In which the roommate is never the interest. (Heresy? Don't burn me yet...)

I dug out my Spiderman poster to put on my door. (I actually received 2 the year I was 18, an undeserved reward for being annoying about that particular fangirl phase.)

Back to the Superhero Research!



Sky High may be awesome, but it's really just fodder for Backlash Girls. However much I may be whole-heartedly indulging avoidance behaviors toward writing, it's really got my attention right now.

I even stripped the walls of most of the pictures I had up for "Charming" (librarian glam story) since the visuals are turning out different anyway.



Wanna hear a bit?

The Lamest Powervillain EVAR

“I have a bad feeling about this,” I said at the mirror. My Han impression wasn't stellar, since for one, I have a definite girl voice (I envy those altos) and for two, I was looking at myself in the mirror. Not the best context for sounding cocky, if fearful.

My Zombie Boyfriend T-shirt (brains over beauty, yesh) is a little too stretched over significant areas, since I've gained a little more weight, and I didn't like my face without the frames Ena gave me. Stupid Carter had stepped on them. Even my gamer-chick look wasn't at its best.

Also, I had calculated that since Teddy hadn't been at the gamer coven last time, it wasn't basketball season, and the newest Halo had hit the Game-Stop shelves he was sure to be there tonight. Doesn't that sound dangerously neat? “What could go wrong?” says the heroine.

But no matter what Ena and Chelsea would be there, so it would be fun.

See how you jinx yourself?

 

 

( How it All Begins )

And yes, the post title is a later quote.

"He is so hot!"


Hee. You gotta love it when baddies say that about another guy.
Right?

Okay, since I am eternally behind the ball (this is an odd phrase, isn't it--in my softball days that was where I was supposed to be, but whatever)
I just watched Sky High for the first time.

The other movies I've watched this year are:
Wall-E
Twilight
The Princess Diaries 2: The Royal Engagement

Oh, and Star Wars. Again.


Sky High I ordered from the library to watch in better quality than YouTube. So I could appreciate this face more, especially during the fights:


My mom: Looks like the next generation's Johnny Depp
Me:            Oh, let it be so...

I like how he's got a lot of fantasy stuff in his resume.




He didn't get the good quotes, though.
Like: "Where would we even find a vat of nuclear waste?"

BTW--this has me over-the-top revved for the Backlash Girls.

I know I've been Miss Post-Happy lately. For this I am sorry.

But I really need to update a few people on the Very Important Progress of Bethany through Mangaland.
Or anime-land, as it were, but it doesn't have the same ring, so tekitouni tsukatta.**

Thoughts: Only On Ouran HS Host Club, You May Skip If You Couldn't Care Less.
(Or just post a link to a cute character picture from another comic of your choice.)

I'm getting to the end of the anime. I'm looking forward to seeing how they develop it, since I've read up to the latest release on the comic and it's tying up nicely there. (Beware spoilers of a sport, if you care...)

kusunoda/Casanova/Bossa-Nova!
I've decided I really like that character and his subplot. The anime refresher brought this home to me.
Kyaa~

KyouyaWhatNow?
I also find it interesting that Honey-Senpai outright states he believes Kyouya has feelings for Haruhi in his round-up statement on everyone's love lives. As far as I noticed, there was no real development there in the comic, except for the cute little day-on-the-depaato sequence. (The mock-harrassment thing...is very ambiguous. Such lovely ambiguousness, it is too, dark and dreamy...)

Thoughts, anyone?
(This would leave only Honey Senpai and Mori out of the love-muddle. Which is fine. Except who wouldn't love to see Mori with someone? It may be he's too serious to go out with anyone while still in high school. Or he has a secret relationship...moe~moe)

Ohmigosh. I am turning into a fangirl!? NOEZ.




*the truth is I usually am just better at restraining myself, though...
**am doing as I please/without regard

{More from the reading front...Starting with Girl Genius}

Oh, Gilgamesh, I love it when you make Klaus faces.

Also, my life is complete: Girl Genius has incorporated YURTS.
For a long time my Xanga blog was headed by the statement: Someday I Will Live in a Yurt.

So. Why aren't all of you reading Girl Genius (Adventure! Romance! Mad Science!) yet?
{Note: the art gets cleaner, and goes full color after the first volume or two.}



Ouran High School Host Club:
Gred and Forge here saying--twincest is wrong! (I'm sure this filk song has been written already, but I want to write my own anyway...the picture of the actors holding that sign is like, my favoritest actor promo shot ever.)

I love how these guys are just what the only-child non-red-headed Fred and George would be. Especially since they have a different personality, so it's like getting more of Fred and George, but without being a rip-off.



As for me, I'm fighting the good fight, trying to stay awake long enough to read Carnie's Conspiracy aloud to myself again.
Wish me luck. The coffee's making no headway.

"But since the club president is now lying down due to culture shock, would you mind coming back next time?" ~ Ouran High School Host Club


o h m y g o s h, this is the silliest thing I have enjoyed in a long time. Making me laugh aloud. (I mean, the manga moments that make me laugh are generally silly, but this *whole thing* is so silly.)


This is going into my arsenal.

Since the president is in bed with culture shock...
You know. A lot of countries would be better off if their presidents were more susceptible to culture shock, really...
