This is like, the non-tl;dr version of my chicken soup mixed with some other fandom-y stuff and... whatever else, stream of thought.

( EPIC TL;DR )

That anime list thing.

( And like Puppy, this is based on if I could give you a decent summary of the things or not. )

Aaaaaahhhh, you can tell I really want this character just by how I'd be willing to play them anywhere, or like, at 2-3 games at the same time. THEY ARE SO COMPLEX AND INTERESTING AND THEY'D WORK SO WELL AT MOST SETTINGS AS LONG AS THEY'RE SOMEWHAT PLOTTY. I want them and I want them nowwww, I might just [CRYPTIC CRYPTIC CRYPTIC CRYPTIC!!1]. S-Stupid [cryptic cryptic] ANYTHING I SAY COULD BE USED AGAINST ME BECAUSE [CRYPTIC!!!].

Baw.

OH GOD THERE ACTUALLY WAS COFFEE IN THE COFFEE MAKER AND IT'D BEEN THERE FOR A WEEK OR LONGER HOW DID I NOT NOTICE AND JUST NOW THAT I DID THERE WERE SUSPICIOUS WHITE... THINGS FLOATING IN IT AND AUUUGH EWWW WHAT DFGJGJKLDFGJ FFFFFFF

WIFE NEEDS TO COME BACK, STAT.

Soooo back in June when I was drowning in work and Springkink and OSHI REVIEWING FMA I kept thinking that July would be my chill month wherein I'd get to indulge in all the fandom-related stuff I didn't have time for.

... But then WORK happened again, topping me harder than ever, and I've really achieved very few of these fannish endeavours since the month began. HOWEVER, this is all stuff I still want to do eventually, so this post is for me not to forget what all these things were.

( All of these lists are in no particular order. )

So, Stelas has been bugging me to watch Bakemonogatari ever since he saw the first episode last week, but I've been drowning in work, so obvs. this still hasn't happened.

But then.

But then.

( This will have to go here until I figure out what I'm naming my stupid singing robot fandom journal. )


On somewhat related news, holy shit, yaranaika MAGNET cover.

I just.

I.

This fandom. ♥

As you may or may not know, IS is going through a rough patch right now. Long story short, if people don't start buying more paid time the site will go offline in two months time.

Now, this is a bit unexpected (to me, anyway) but... sadly, it isn't something that surprises me, after the DW mass exodus. You've already heard me rant about journaling sites "wars" and what I love/hate about each one and stuff plenty of times before, so I won't go into that but.

The comments in that post.

Ugh.

I'm sorry, but I'd much rather see IS disappear than having it plagued with ads like LJ or IJ. I like to see that Kit wants to keep his word, because that's better than seeing everyone and their mom whine about how he is selling himself to other companies and whatnot. I really really don't want a repeat of the 6A fiasco.

And this might be kind of hypocritical, since I don't actually have a paid account here at IS, I've never had one, despite having like 20+ different journals registered. BUT, I'm not the one comparing a journaling site to cancer here, am just sayin'.

The way I see it, if people really care so much for the content they have hosted here, they will pay to keep IS running. And... it's kind of funny because we have joked in the past that CFUD alone could sustain IS for a decade, with all our paid accounts/icon add-ons—WHICH ISN'T A SUGGESTION, I KNOW IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN EVER EVEN IF THE STYLES GET FIXED AND THE LAYOUT CHANGES but It's still the kind of thing that makes me go "lol irony."

And oops, 4:50am means I should probably sleep, since I bet my boss will wake me up in a few hours. Oh wellllls.

And then I discovered that Nicosingers have, indeed, a fandom all for themselves.


fffffffffffffffffffffffffff

THINGS THAT SHOULD IDEALLY GET DONE TOMORROW:

• EXTREME HOUSECLEANING!!11one


• Cashing checks.


• WRITING!!!1


• Memery.


• Rrrrreplying to old fic comments.

OPTIONAL:

• Icon revamps in a couple of journals, including this one.


• Iconing


• FUSHIGI MYSTERY


• That one email.


• ... WORK?????

Work is only optional because I have no idea if I'll even have any. I HOPE NOT BECAUSE I WANT TO DO OTHER THINGS, AAAAHHH.

AAAHHH I AM SAVING THE CFUDNETWORK SPAM FOR WHEN THE ACTUAL VIDEO HAS BEEN RIPPED BUT I NEED TO SPAZ SOMEWHERE

FFFFFFF STUPID CATCHY SONG

I HOPE THE VIDEO IS THE FULL SONG AND NOT JUST A SHORT VERSION actually that wouldn't make a lot of sense since there's no "short version" in the single but still DO NOT DISAPPOINT ME, GAINAX


sob ilu yokooooooo ;o;

It's good to see you remain full of batshit and stupid.

Also, oh neighbors. Perhaps you should consider closing your window the next time you decide to have loud, passionate sex.

I KEEP WANTING TO POST ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVE IT AND WHY but then distractions happen.

Like now.


lololol brb disappearing from the internets until I get some work stuff done or until I need human contact again, probably the latter

Wheeeeee.

noooodle is a hooker.

This is so stupid and it shouldn't get on my nerves the way it does, IT SHOULDN'T MAKE ME GO ಠ_ಠ AT FIC THE WAY IT DOES, BUT.

Fandom, dearest Saiyuki fandom.

The white dragonjeep's name?

It's Jeep. NOT HAKURYUU.

Hakuryuu was used in the anime adaptation only because Jeep is a registered mark, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS IN FIC, PLEASE DON'T DO IT. DX


T-There.

Sob.


PS: Jiipu is not a valid alternative.

ಠ_ಠ

tsuntsun: ...... man suddenly I realize why I ship these two P4 charas
i-it's the Chase/Gert dynamic
bluestraggler: THE GHOST OF YOUR DEAD OTP


I SHOULD HAVE REALIZED.

I'm posting my prompt list here for my own reference and so it serves as a reminder that I SHOULD REALLY NOT ATTEMPT TO WRITE ANYTHING ELSE UNTIL AT LEAST HALF OF THESE ARE DONE. Hau hauuuu.

( The magic number is 14. )

ETA: WITNESS HOW DISCIPLINED AND RESPONSIBLE I AM, as the first thing I do after having posted this is go look at unfinished stuff I have sitting on gdocs to try and do something about it. O-Oh, self.

I was SUPER DETERMINED to start writing my Springkink prompts as soon as I got the confirmation emails because I had lots of bunnies for some of them already.

But then I watched Gurren-hen.

And then one day later Lagann-hen came out, and with that, the spoilers posts and the fanart floods and the Kamina+Simon artbook of horrible horribleness.





And now I don't want to write anything that isn't TTGL-related in some way.

:(

SO HOW ABOUT DAT EVA ANIMA

Ffffffffff I can't get over Kaji!Shinji lololol.

ETA: And a link to the /m/ thread (however long it lasts) because there's more pics there.
