Answering symetric's questions out of order

6. if someone randomly came up to you and gave you a hug, how would you react?
7. why is LJ your social media tool of choice? if it isn't, which do you prefer using?
9. MARMITE? (shut up, that is a valid question)

6. O_O Unless they're a close family member or a good friend. Total stranger: only if it's a woman who recognizes the character I cosplay at an anime convention. "Guu~! I love youuu!"

7. I prefer DW because LJ keeps on introducing stupid "new features" that their users hate. Except for Spoiler tag, that's pretty cool. More friends and more fandom activity over at LJ though. *shrugs*
Tumblr is fun to stalk/browse, but I hate the inability to comment and have robust discussion attached to the original post *foams at the mouth*

9. (Tried it once. 'twas okay.) Verdict: Inconclusive.

I'm practicing my Japanese listening comprehension.

Random things from Boys' Love land:

1. Yoo Ha Jin's Totally Captivated -- the first BL manhwa that I actually like. I'm meh about the art because manhwa art = manhwa art and manga art = manga art, but I LOVE the storyline and the shamelessness of Ewon Jung >=D
Am sick of the typical in-denial uke =P
1 a. Don't miss the TC doujinshi: Totally Spying on Them

2 a. Speaking of doujinshi by the original mangaka/manhwaka(?), read Antique Bakery doujinshi if you haven't! (scroll down)
Antique Bakery manga = shoujo publisher, but the doujinshi = yaoi all the wayyy~

Poor Ono and his eternal one-sided love T_T
I support Tachibana/adult!Deko =P

2 b. I finally watched Antique, the Korean movie adaptation of Antique Bakery. If viewed as a movie it's kinda spastic, but think of it as a two-hour fanvid of Antique Bakery and you will LOVE IT. You can't ask for Moar Ghei. For srs.

The actors' feel & heights = perfect for their parts. My only complaint would be Eiji not being obnoxious-yet-endearing enough. They don't look tall in the movie because three of them are ridiculously tall (models-turned-actors), but when they stand up next to an average Korean guy they are TALL.

3. This Sex Pistols AMV: Years of Lies (WARNING: bare chests, non-sexual hair-pulling, will cause viewer to obsessively check for OVA 2's arrival)

3a. Why do I always prefer the side pairing in Boys' Love?
Yonekuni x Shiro > Kunimasa x Norio
Junjou Egoist > Junjou Terrorist > Junjou Romantica

4. I vastly prefer the manga + drama CD combo over plain Boys' Love anime.
It feels less cheesy and less embarassing. Anime portrayal of penetration is...idk. It has improved a lot over the years but it's still not there for me. Junjou Romantica anime = ♥ because less is more =P

1. Author taglines, inspired by erastes' contest:

- William Shakespeare: most acclaimed and prolific fanfic writer.
- C.S. Lewis: should have steered clear from sci-fi.
- Robert Frost: The Road Not Taken, UR Not Getting It.
- Billy Collins: Poetry can make you laugh too.
- Hans Christian Andersen: Must have had an angsty childhood.
- Oscar Wilde: should stick with witty plays.
- Jane Austen: sekkritly hates the masses.
- Georgette Heyer: UR stealing mah Regency words. Dat's okay. Half of 'em are made up.

1 a. Add your own taglines over at my sounis entry, or here =)

1 b. My fav. Megan Whalen Turner tagline is by lylassandra: MWT: Her characters will steal your heart, and anything else you have on.

2. Seen at darkestnight12: Supernatural: The Animation trailer
The artwork is like Cowboy Bebop and Witch Hunter Robin. Sam has Spike hair except he's hotter \o/
I've only watched 4.2 eps of SPN, but I think I'll like this anime because I did enjoy the animation for Batman.

2 a. Soo...there's an SPN character named Crowley?

3. "Misused or Abused Words and Phrases" by Arnell Engstrom

☆ ★ “begs the question” =/= ‘raises’ or ‘implies’ the question.
“begs the question” = to assume as fact what is in dispute.

★ ☆ “sour grapes” is based on the Aesop's fable of the fox & the grapes
“sour grapes” =/= whiner/complainer

☆ ★ “aftermath” = a second happening, usually a disaster, following and caused by the first event.
etc.

“Once upon a time, there was a death god who religiously watched over a human princess—”

“The princess is a symbol. She is indispensable to him (And to me). He loves her (I love you, Misa).”

“He died for her (As I would die for you). That’s why his notebook belongs to her (Do you want to do this? Throw half your life away in exchange for dead eyes).”

“He (I) would have wanted her to live a happy life (Not a half life, never a half life).”

Story ended: Rem died years ago.

“I wouldn’t lie to you.”

Remix of lye_tea 's Fairytale Floss for remixthedrabble. I like how this one turned out; I basically lifted phrases from the original and changed the context. The original phrases refer to Light/Misa, Misa & Ryuuk etc., but I turned it around, changed the speaker and the story =3

This is...sort of technically pre-femmeslash, I guess?
In Death Note, after the epic Kira/L awesomeness, the OMGSoObvious pairing is Rem/Misa.

Super-quick explanation about the Death Note drabble: ( Spoilery, duh. )

Just got my remixthedrabble assignment (Four remixes, here I come!). So am finally getting around to x-posting some drabbles. And updating my fic masterlist...the next few days.

And hi, I'm back. *waves*
