  • Mood: Tired
Yes. Yes it is. I need to find a corner to crawl in and DIE.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS SEMESTER SO MUCH WANK WANK WANK



Anyway, I can't tell you what to expect next. If I can use my sister's scanner, you kids will have a crapload of gagstrips coming in. If not, then you'll get a crapload AFTER Spring Break...though I might be pressed for time to color them, once the semester starts again...OY.

Notice how HARD I fail at keeping my promises to draw moar Beast Wars and Megabyte pictures, even tho I keep saying how I'm gonna do 'em? Yeah, it's coz I suck and I'm too lazy to collect reference. FAIL. Let's see if I can rectify that over Spring Break too.


Ummm...there was something else I was supposed to do...OH YEAH GO VOTE AVATAR AT THAT NICK CHOICE THINGIE I'm not even keeping tabs that's how out of it I am...woooo.

Oh, also, here's a meme YoukaiYumi smacked me with. Normally I hate memes, but everyone LOOOVES to talk about themselves, me included, so here we go...

★ Rules:
01; Post these rules.
02; Each tagged person must post 8 things about theirself on their journal.
03; At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people and post their icons on the same journal.
04; Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.

1) I'm tired. Like, you don't even know. I probably shouldn't do this in such a tired state. Ah well.
2) I'm hoping to write a paper about Internet Assholes for my English class. I think it will be fun.
3) Ich denke meine Deutsche so schlect ist.  Ich kann nichts sich bereiten meine Prufungen vor...ich habe immer keine Zeit. Zeichentrickfilm hat meine Zeit gefressen WAHHHHH.
4) Yes, despite my whining about the show's style, I DO get up at 8:00 on Sundays to watch Transformers Animated. And I usually don't regret it.
5) I visit Encyclopedia Dramatica way more than any self-respecting person with any sense of decency should.
6) I get paint EVERYWHERE. There's some in my hair right now.
7) The majority of the nightmares I remember contain velociraptors and bathrooms.
8) My manga is sharply divided between the outrageously shoujo (Hana Yori Dango, Hot Gimmick, Peach Girl), and the Manly-Man type (Blade of the Immortal, Berserk, Vagabond...I'm also a HUGE fan of Hajime no Ippo! ^////^). The only one that's really in between is Basara...which I wish more people read so I could fantard with them over it. :(

I tag you all. Coz I'm lazy. SO GET TO WORK.

OMG! You're a Basara fan! It's SO rare to find a Basara fan! Squeak! ^^

Sooo, who's your favorite character? There are so many awesome ones that I wind up going back and forth between a bunch of them. ^^

And Blade of the Immortal and Beserk. Two beautifully gory series. Mmmmm.

Another Basara fan? Buddy. You and me are gonna be FRIENDS.

Basara is AMAZING. My fave characters are Ageha (but truly, who does not love him? He's such a strong character and goes through so much!) and Asagi (I find him a rather twisted, complex, and sadistic character. They talk about Zuko's struggle between good and evil intriguing, but I find Asagi's far more so!). But I've also been known to have a soft spot for most of the Red King's underlings too. :)

Oh man, I just got book 18 of BOTI...when is Manji breaking out? ;_; And goddamn if Berserk doesn't tug on my heartstrings every time!

Hell yes! Basara is awesome!

Oh man, another Asagi fan! That's rare, a few of my friends who read the series hate his guts, and I"m always going, "But, but . . . look at his cute hats!" You're right, he's such an amazingly complex character, and I loved watching how he slowly changed through knowing Sarasa. Though my favorite moments had to be the times Hijiri and Nachi took him under their wing and tormented . . . um, picked on him. Amazing what friends and trust can do for a person. He's so intelligent and sly, too, and hides it so well.

Ahhh, Ageha. I think he was the central most tragic character in the series. He is so strong, goes through so much, and in the end? Really got stepped on by fate. Bad Fate, no donut.

I don't think Manji breaks out until volume 20ish, but I can't really remember. The site that was doing issue summaries (nothing in depth, just general plot points) shut down. ;_; Poor Manji, they really up the blood and guts bit with this particular story arc. O_o

I actually have to take Beserk in small doses so that I don't overload and get depressed. I'm really not that far into the series because of it, sadly, but it's so gorgeous and so complex. Such a great cast of characters.

Asagi's transition was quite fascinating. He began as one of the nastiest bad guys in the series, and ended as one of the nastiest good guys! I love when he's with the Dastardly Duo too, because they never miss an opportunity to tease him for sulking...usually when he's thinking about how Sarasa keeps messing things up for him. ^_^

Ageha...he...he cut his hair and took it in the ass and STILL didn't get the girl. And he deserved Sarasa waaaaaaay more than the Red King.

Noooooo Manji needs to hurry up and get out of there. BOTI is almost getting as depressing as Berserk. :(

Oh man, I know! And the way he would get all pissy when Sarasa would trust him with something important (such as leading the horse charge down that dried waterfall, gives me chills everytime I reread that scene), or when Muratake stayed with him when he ordered him away would make me grin like an idiot, because even though he was trying so hard to stay evil, he just couldn't pull it off. I loved it when he wound up being in charge of teaching swordmanship to the group. :D

Oooo, what do you think about the really strong hint that Nagi is Asagi's brother?

I KNOW!!! And then he goes and falls for Senju (I think he did, I need to go reread again, mwahahah), too, and he didn't even get her!

:petting: He will! Um, I just hunted it up, the rescue of Manji (so to speak) begins, um, Chapter 134, I think. Or at least they start to build up to it. About friggin' time. And OOOO! They're doing an ANIME series! Eeek! Summer of 08! EEeek again!

Oh, and about Nagi being Asagi's older brother--I think it would be great if he was. Asagi sure could use someone like Nagi in his corner, someone genuine and good looking out for him...not like the OTHER people who raised him. Sheesh!

I agree, he really does need someone more caring and, well, SANE to look to. Hell, people think Zuko's family is messed up, but he has nothing on Asagi's family.

Some of my favortite scenes of Asagi are when he's carrying her away from the burning building Cha Cha got caught in and reminding himself she's "Shuri's bitch", getty pissy about teaching sword fighting, ANY scene with him and Hiragi, how smothered and desperate he gets when the White King shows up, and of course, how he wakes up in Sarasa's lap at the beginning of the prison arc. Actually, all of the prison arc was good.

Unlike BOTI. Goddamn OTTERS.

WHAT NO WAI A BOTI ANIME??? I THINK I JUST CAME.

Oh, I know. Or when she's trying to keep him warm and he's thinking to himself that now would be the best time to make a move or do something, and he just can't because he's so weak. He gets so pissy when things don't go the way he wants them to. I love his interactions with Hiragi, too, especially when he pulled his sword on him.

Oh man, the White King. I never really know how to feel about her. Sympathy because of what was done to her, but at the same time rather angry for what she did to Asagi. Talk about sins of the father. I loved the shot of little Muratake in the background sidestory

*laughs* It'll be over soon, hopefully.

Yep! Seriously! BAHAHAHAHA! Glad to know the news gave you such a rush! Here's the official news linke [link] And here's the link to the page. I think they did a BANGING job on the character designs, even if Manji is a bit beefier than his manga counterpart. Anotsu and Rin look great. [link]

BOTI anime looks SOOOOO good Ima haff ta download it and watch it and buy it OH LAWDS YES. This may mandate a future journal entry to spread the good word...

The White King was so messed up...both tragic and revolting to look at. She got screwed over in life so badly...and ended up one of the most vicious villains in the series, especially in terms of mindf*ckery. Poor Asagi. O_O

Kinda makes me wanna draw a pic of all four kings...know a good place for Basara pics? There are so few websites out there.

Muratake! I'd say The Duo took quite a liking to him too...much to his flustered dismay. Pineapple-head sometimes got a little handsy, methinks. ;)
