on the topic of men in magical girl shows being treated worse than women in shonen... mot only is it not true but a lot of men in magical girl shows are actually nuanced, full fledged characters with their own personalities and characters arcs.
mamoru chiba may be the poster boy for the male damsel in distress in magical girl shows but he's actually very helpful to sailor moon, supporting her both emotionally and in fights and doing everything he can to be useful to her. he even had a whole arc in the dream arc about wanting to be more useful to usagi.
syaoran li starts out as a rival to sakura and proves to be quite capable, even collecting a few cards on his own. he slowly becomes friends with her and eventually, her boyfriend. in clear card he's a very loving boyfriend and does everything he can to support sakura and make her happy.
touya kinomoto is sakura's brother who knows about her powers but doesn't tell her. he watches sakura from a distance and protects her in any way he can.
yukito tsukishiro is the alternate form of yue. he only knows about this near the end of the sakura card arc. but even then he's a good character with a full fledged personality. also he and touya are such a good couple.
masaya aoyama puts on a facade of the perfect, popular boy but deep down he's cynical and hates humanity because of what they're doing to the planet. but him meeting ichigo and spending time with her opens his heart. he also takes on the role of blue knight to protect ichigo.
shugo chara has many magical boys. tadase hotori, kukai souma, kairi sanjou, and nagihiko fujisaki are all just as important as the girls and they have their own character arcs. even ikuto is quite a complex character, that is if you take away his whole deal with amu.
princess tutu has just as many main male characters as female characters, probably even more and they're all extremely important to the story. mytho is the prince from the story drosselmeyer wrote who went into the real world after he shattered his heart to seal away the raven. fakir is a descendent of drosselmeyer and starts out mean but eventually grows to care about ahiru and plays a very important role in the finale. drosselmeyer is the driving force behind all the events in the series.
the precure franchise, although it did some of its male characters dirty (*cough pikario and takumi cough*) also has some great male characters.
seiji sagara is megumi's childhood friend who finds out about her being a precure. even though he doesn't have any powers he does his best to support her and her friends.
prince kanata is the catalyst behind haruka becoming a precure and he's a capable fighter who does anything to protect his kingdom and supports the girls whenever he can.
henri wakamiya is the first ever male cure (although he's not on the main team) and gives a wonderful lesson about gender expression.
masato aikasi starts out being very conservative but after his heart is opened by henri, he starts to learn that gender roles are stupid and even stands up for his sister against their grandfather.
and now we have cure wing, who is going to he the first main male cure in the franchise.
even though there are male characters in magical girl shows who are either done dirty or quite useless, a lot of the time the authors actually develop the male characters just as much as the female characters.
and this should be an example because if these shojo magical girl authors can put just as much care into their male characters as their female characters, then what's stopping these male shone authors from doing the same to their female characters? shonen being aimed at boys and the authors not knowing how to write women is not an excuse. if shojo authors just said they don’t know how to write men, they would get laughed at. so why is it seen as an acceptable excuse for male shonen authors.
and even if there is a lack of men in these magical girl shows, so what? men have like 148293 shonen anime with generic male protagonist #738383 who beats up bad guys and gets a love interest whose only purpose is either the damsel in distress or fanservice bait. let us have a genre made for women by women. it won't hurt you.

Shipper Tag Game
the ever so wonderful @wangmiao tagged me in a game! yay :D I spend my days studying as of lately an I needed a little distraction eheh
-
1. what ship were you completely obsessed with when you were a teenager, but now you don’t care anymore?
aah man, it’s probably ed & winry from FMA if I’m being honest. now I know why, bc my baby gay younger self saw the potential for ftm!Ed and mtf!Winry since day 1 but I didn’t have the words to understand it as such back then. it’s not that I don’t care anymore but that fandom served its purpose and I am thankful for it. learned about my own stance on gender euphoria thanks to it actually even if the story has nothing to do with it in retrospect.
2. which ship would you consider your first one?
ik that, as a wee child, I was obsessed with Haruka from Sailor Moon flirting with Usagi, but I wouldn’t consider that as a proper “ship”. I learned shipping was a thing at, like, 19. but if I look back at my childhood... probably either Syaoran & Sakura (bi nation where u at??) or Touya/Yukito from Card Captor. I clocked the Tomoyo/Sakura waaaay later tho, which is a pity.
3. your first fanfic belonged to which couple?
first fanfic I read was a D. Gray Man one, so it was probably a Kanda/Allen situation yeah. I think I was 20. oh god.
4. do you remember the first couple you saw a fanart over?
hard to say. I think I had just discovered tumblr, so it means I was either 22 or 23... so I was either in the Pandora Hearts fandom or in the Tokyo Ghoul fandom. and I only followed people from those two so... I think it was an Arima/Haise one? hard to say fr.
5. did you ever get into ship discourse?
I tend to stay away from that. I just mute or block people and go back to play with my fictional people. me is petty at times, yes.
6. did you use to have any no-otp or have it currently?
I do have ships I don’t particularly like, but I find it silly to talk about them. I let people enjoy themselves.
7. who were the couples in the last fanfic you read?
Gaon/Yohan from The Devil Judge bc there’s only one fic in the whole fandom I follow and I generally don’t read fanfics that much. (I may or may not have read a fanfic from Evilive in the past month or so, but if I did I was feverish and recall very little of it).
8. currently do you have any OTPs?
man where do I start?
Shang Xirui/Cheng Fengtai from Winter Begonia
Zhou Zishu/Wen Kexing from Word of Honor
Gu Yun/Changgeng from Sha Po Lang
Seo Doyoung/Han Dongsoo from Evilive (current one)
Kim Gaon/Kang Yohan from The Devil Judge
Lee Dongsik/Han Joowon from Beyond Evil
Koo Ryeon/Park Joonggil from Tomorrow
(one sapphic ship I shall not name - for the discourse is rampant about them- but it involves ladies and dragons)
Eve Polastri/Villanelle from Killing Eve (I am waiting for the italian dub to drop season 3 and 4 in dvd, I am too attached to it to budge)
(if that news about Kim Goeun and Jeon Doyeon starring in the same thriller drama is true I will make it my entire personality so be prepared for it)
9. is there any couple that, to this day, you are extremely mad about not getting together?
is there?.... man I have no clue. they are all true in my heart. I can be anal about it and say that I call bullshit on the main girl in True Beauty kdrama not ending up with the second-male lead if I really have to be mad about something but... meh? that’s probably it? the characters were too young for me to empathize with them but I guess that’s still something I think about from time to time?? I feel so silly saying this ahah
10. is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they are kind of interesting?
honestly, ever since kun opened my eyes about soggy older men being bullied by grumpy older men I have changed as a person. I never disliked it per se but now everything has changed. I see the vision now. I see it. thank u kun :)
11. do you have any ship that, in the past, was considered normal but now you would be cancelled over?
listen. I ship changgu. it’s Gu Yun’s fault to be such a cougar, what was a growing kid like Changgeng supposed to do? not fantasize about his godfather? who, I might add, is only, like, 8 or 9 years older than him and didn’t even want to take that role to begin with and they got together when both were above their mid-twenties anyway? try again tag game. these new fandom babies are eating my face like smooth lions as we speak. (I am joking...)
12. what was your favorite crack ship?
before I left the m/dzs fandom... I guess Wen Q/ing & Lan W/angji as a “beard for beard” situation. they are gay and they are not vibing on prom night, having to dance with each other instead of looking for people they actually like. maybe it’s best that I left the fandom ahah
13. who is the couple you read most fanfics of?
I don’t really... read... fanfics... anymore. usually I’m either in a big ship or a niche show/book with no in between. in the second case... it’s bad bc I feel the urge to WRITE for the fandom and ship in question, which means that I don’t want to read fics about it unless I have finished my own fic for it (bc I don’t want to accidentally steal other people’s ideas. my subconscious is an octopus I swear, it latches onto anything that moves in my brain. I cannot do that to someone else’s creation!); in the first case it works only if I’m not active in the fandom:
take Word of Honor: I write for it and for the main ship too, so I don’t read fics about it
take Evilive or Winter Begonia: we have so few fics in there I MUST WRITE for the main ship, so I don’t read fics about it (sometimes I do cave in tho, yes I am human)
take The Devil Judge or Tomorrow: I’m not active on either of those, so I can enjoy reading fics (only two, one for each fandom)
my life is a struggle ik. the most fics I have read for a ship is probably that sapphic ship I shall not name (evil women come at me!!) and bagginshield from The Hobbit (we are talking 10 years ago tho)
14. what most of your ships usually have in common?
across all genders and all gender combos, I have generally 3 vibes going on:
twice divorced, never married
long suffering banter, but fond
not related, not chosen family, but a secret third thing
(additional flavor: either the younger one is the bossy one or they are the same age and they are making it everyone’s problem at that)
15. what you absolutely hate in a ship?
I would say conformity. if I don’t catch any queer vibes from the main source then what’s the point? even in a het ship I must latch onto some gender magic of some kind. some pegging for everyone would be nice too. or no sex at all, for a change, why not?
-
thank u once more kun for tagging me! imma tag anyone insterested in doing this and @amethystina and @danhoemei is they feel like doing it or if they just want to have a look at my replies, no pressure!!

"AYAKA – SIDE STORIES 02" (Part 03/04)
"IZAKAYA "KAPPA" PROSPERITY STORY"
TRANSLATION: NARU-KUN
* List of Chapters
"Puah, no problem. Azuki-chan is concentrating on the yakitori right now."
Looking over his shoulder and looking back. As he said, Mitarai in front of the grill was fighting the yakitori while he endured the heat of the blazing fire. There were no signs that he was directing attention there.
"That's why...!"
"I'm dealing with your mistakes, you know? Rather, thank me."
"My mistake..."
At that moment, the conversation from a few minutes ago revived in Yukito's mind. Seeing the beer whose bubbles were disappearing, Jingi said:
"I'll take care of that."
"Maybe he asked me to refill it because he wanted to drink it..."
"Hahaha..."
Jingi neither affirmed nor denied it, he just laughed with a fine beard of foam under his nose.
"That person..."
Yukito is in the so-called "I don't get it" state, to the degree of rubbish that goes diagonally above expectations. However, the truth is that he helped him when he was confused. Therefore, it is difficult to criticize or say so to Mitarai.
"And for now, I'll get you some food."
(When I start thinking seriously about this person, I get a headache.), Yukito thought.
Having made that decision, Yukito decided to concentrate on his work for now.
"Yukito."
As he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, Jingi called out to Yukito.
"If there's something you don't understand, ask me or Azuki-chan. No matter how busy I am, I can still answer your questions, okay?"
"......"
Those casually spoken words shocked Yukito.
The crisis he found himself in until recently was not due to his lack of ability. He didn't know what to do with part-time jobs and alcohol, so to speak, due to his lack of experience. Probably, if he had asked Jingi or Mitarai, he could have figured it out right away.
But at that time, Yukito didn't even think of the "asking because I don't know" method. It wasn't the beer or being rushed around that made him feel weak.
It did not exist from the beginning.
The choice itself to trust someone when you're in trouble.
He has lived his life keeping his distance from others and without expectations.
(It's a problem before communication skills.), Yukito thought.
Yukito chuckled to himself.
It was a part-time job that started as a quibble, but it may have been the right answer after trying.
The "training" of this time was a good opportunity to become aware of how to interact with others, that is rusty and immature.
"...Yes. If there's something I don't understand, I won't hesitate to ask."
Yukito smiled and said that.
It is impossible to change the distance with others at this time. But little by little he will begin to change because of the people who are next to him.
Yes, Yukito made a vow in his heart.
"Glup, Glup, Glup. Secretly drinking beer during a part-time job is exceptional."
Jingi, who was squatting down and drinking his second beer said, "Ah...", with an understanding face.
"Yukito. Next time, definitely don't go wrong with the beer, ok? Absolutely? It's because it is absolutely, ok?"
"......"
Yukito silently and coldly looked at Jingi, who was looking at him as if he was waiting for something.
Maybe he should immediately change the distance with just this housemate.
Far from it...
Despite some minor problems, the business of the Izakaya "Usagi" ran smoothly, and it has already been three hours since Yukito and Jingi started work.
"Umm…put some ice in the glass… this amount of whiskey… soda covers about 80% of the glass."
In the kitchen, Yukito's face fell as he faced the work table. In his hand is a caramel-colored glass that plays the refreshing sound of the soda. It's a drink.
"Alright."
Beside Yukito, arms folded, Jingi made an assessment.
So far there have been busy times when the kitchen is running at full speed. Now that dinner time is past, however, the audience is quiet, with one group at the table and two at the counter.
Because of that, Yukito was in charge of making the drinks, which was limited to the time Jingi helped with the cooking, for practice.
"But I still can't do it as fast as Jingi-san."
"I'm used to it. Besides, you don't have to take quantity seriously. You can make it faster that way."
"Is it okay to do it that way?"
Yukito asked a legitimate question, but Jingi's response was "That's my style.", which cannot be used as a guarantee.
"However! From a drinker's point of view, I can't forgive a lack of alcohol. No more sin! So if you're not sure, put it in a darker color."
As he said that, Jingi tipped the bottle of whiskey into the tall glass Yukito made.
He is chasing the whiskey.
"What an oversight... Mitarai-san will be angry..."
Worried, Yukito looked at Mitarai, who was in the background. However, the Izakaya owner was looking at the flames on the grill with somewhat distant eyes. So far, he doesn't seem to be aware of Jingi's outrageous acts.
"Okay, the Jingi Special is ready. Serve it to the customers."
Despite Yukito's concerns, the highball was completed with a special hand.
Actually, he was providing it.
"Oh? This whiskey is mostly alcohol!"
The customer, a middle-aged man, had a big smile on his face even as he complained.
"He loved it. He was happy."
"Really?"
Hearing Yukito's report in the kitchen, Jingi twitched his nose.
"When it comes to drinking, leave it to me. It's not like I'm always drunk on dates."
"You shouldn't be proud to say that."
Yukito smiled wryly. He began to wash the used glasses that had accumulated in the sink.
"Okay, you can take a break after washing it. There aren't many customers, so go eat now."
Saying that, Jingi turned around and asked Mitarai, "Are you alright, Azuki-chan?"
However, the answer did not come immediately.
"Azuki-chan? Is it alright if I give Yukito a break?"
Judging that the voice did not come, Jingi confirmed it again. It seems that he finally noticed, and Mitarai nodded briefly, "Ah."
"Because I'll cook you a meal, so grab your apron and wait at the counter."
With the shop owner's permission, Jingi rolled up his sleeves and smiled at Yukito.
There is nothing that can be called a break room at the Izakaya "Usagi". If you just want to take a short break, it is usual to sit at the back of the store, and if you are going to finish your meal, use the counter seats when there are not many customers.
According to that rule, Yukito, who was allowed to take a break to eat, was sitting at the end of the counter seat.
From time to time the sparsely packed audience can be heard laughing merrily. Of course, he was quiet compared to the hustle and bustle of rush hour when it was packed with people. But even so, Yukito felt that it was lively enough.
(It's a bit weird.), Yukito thought.
He had a part-time job for the first time in his life and was about to eat his first meal on his break.
"Even if I told them about today when I was on the mainland, they wouldn't believe me..."
Yukito muttered with a thoughtful face.
Right after that, the chair next to him began to shake with a buzz.
Yukito was taken aback for a moment, but immediately remembered the cell phone he had left in his apron pocket.
Talking on the cell phone in front of customers is really intimidating. Yukito thought so and left the store for a while with his phone vibrating.
"How cold..."
Yukito cringed involuntarily.
It must be because of the difference in temperature between the inside of the tent, which was full of heat, and the fact that it was completely dark. The Ninoshima wind mixed with the smell of the sea was a bit chilly.
"Sorry... I forgot to contact you."
Yukito checked his cell phone again and let out a regretful sigh. The person floating on the screen is "Momoko-san".
"Yes."
[Yukito-kun? Where are you now?]
As soon as the call started, an awkward voice came out of the speaker. Hearing that, Yukito felt even more embarrassed.
"Sorry, Momoko-san, I didn't contact you. In fact..."
Summoned by Mitarai, Jingi decided to work on "Usagi".
Yukito explained how they ended up working together on that process.
[Next time, please tell me, okay? Leaving Jingi-chan aside, I was really worried because Yukito-kun suddenly disappeared, you know?]
"Yes. I'll be careful."
With a remorseful look, Yukito bowed to Momoko on the other end of the phone.
[By the way, until what time do you two stay at the store? Will you have dinner at the restaurant?]
"I don't know until what time. Ah, but... Dinner is being cooked by Jingi-san."
As Yukito said that with a chest full of anticipation, Momoko laughed, "Fufu."
[I'm looking forward to it. Because Jingi-chan is good at cooking.]
"I also found out for the first time today. Jingi-san is actually a person who can do many things."
[That's how it is! If he tries, he can do it!]
Suddenly, Momoko's tone of voice rose. No, she jumped.
[Actually, it was I who taught him how to cook. Ever since I was little, I have been told that "prepare honest food for the people who will eat it".]
"Hmm, Momoko-san was Jingi-san's cooking teacher?"
Yukito let out a voice filled with surprise and admiration.
In response to the reaction, Momoko's words sped up even more.
[It's not that exaggerated to be a master. The words I just said are secondhand to my grandmother. But I tried my best to convey that to Jingi-chan.]
"Haha..."
Momoko's furious narrative showed no signs of stopping. And when Yukito was stumped...
"Yukito."
Jingi left through the store entrance. Furthermore, he motioned for Yukito to return to the shop.
[I still remember it. The first time Jingi-chan was in the kitchen was in elementary school.]
"I'm sorry, Momoko-san. It seems that something has happened in the shop, so I have to go back."
After hanging up the phone without waiting for an answer, Yukito ran into the store. His expression was somewhat relieved.
"I'm sorry, both of you."
It was Mitarai who said the apologetic words. His expression was terribly painful and his complexion had turned pale.
"If you don't feel well, it can't be helped. Huh?"
"Huh? Oh, yes."
Yukito nodded in panic as he was suddenly pulled away from him.
Yukito, who was called back to the kitchen, was told that Mitarai would be leaving early. He thought that some kind of problem had occurred in the shop, but this development really exceeded his expectations.
"I suddenly felt dizzy after rush hour. Nothing happened until then..."
Covering his face with his palm, Mitarai groaned.
"Aren't you tired? Considering the lack of manpower, the preparation and cleanup were already perfect before we arrived."
As he crossed his arms, Jingi sighed in exasperation and said, "You're working too hard."
"When someone who doesn't work says it, the weight is different."
Mitarai shrugged and smiled. Then he took off his apron and hung it on the hook on the side of the kitchen shelf. Getting ready to go home.
"Please close the shop when the customers leave. You can throw out the prepared ingredients or take them home. And about today's part-time job fee, next time I'll color it correctly."
"Shut up. Go upstairs quickly and go to sleep."
Mitarai talked about post-processing and Jingi pushed him out of the shop.
Mitarai's residence is on the second floor of "Usagi", after going up the stairs at the side of the store.
"Take care of yourself."
After dismissing Mitarai, who was forced to go home, Yukito looked around the kitchen and into the store. This is the end of his first part-time job.
(There were many things, but it was fun.), Yukito thought.
A small smile appeared on Yukito's lips. Today's event seems to have been a positive experience for him.
"Geez."
As soon as he returned to the kitchen, Jingi sat on the edge of the sink. Since Mitarai is not there, the behavior is careless, it is as usual.
"Then let's leave it like that until the guests leave. Yukito, for now, put the noren away."
"I understand."
Yukito headed for the store after receiving his instructions. If there is no good will, new customers should not come unless there is a very good reason.
"Yes, leftover ingredients."
Suddenly remembering Mitarai's words, Jingi opened the refrigerator. Some pre-cut meats, fish and vegetables seem to have a short shelf life. These are probably the things that need to be removed. And there are quite a few.
"It's a waste to throw it away, so let's take it home. No, it's better to sell it to another restaurant and make some money... ha!"
Jingi, who had been muttering to himself about his evil little plan, suddenly widened his eyes as if struck by lightning. And he immediately he ran to the store.
"Yukito!"
"What happen?"
Yukito, who had removed the noren and was about to return to the shop, went wide-eyed at the despair that appeared.
"Don't put it away. Don't put the noren away yet."
Yukito, who had received completely opposite instructions, tilted his head and asked, "Why all of a sudden?"
"I'll explain it to you later."
Jingi put his hand on Yukito's shoulder.
"More importantly, you haven't eaten yet, right? I'll give you something delicious."
He smiled very kindly.
"Delicious!"
"Ah, I see, I see."
Seeing Yukito's bright eyes, Jingi satisfactorily repeated his statement.
In front of Yukito, who is currently sitting at the counter, is a small cast iron skillet heated by fire. In "Usagi", it is a tool that is often used for menu items that are to be served freshly baked, such as gyoza dumplings in a cast iron pot.
A heaping pile of thinly sliced wagyu beef tenderloin sizzles in the pan. The seasoning is salt and pepper, and the sauce is Japanese flavored with grated daikon radish and ponzu sauce sprinkled with perilla leaves.
"This meat is the best, Jingi-san! I can eat all the rice I want!"
Yukito stuffed the meat into his mouth and used the upturned utensil to dig the rice into the rice bowl.
The last customer had just finished paying, so now the "Usagi" store is empty except for Yukito and Jingi. Therefore, even if Yukito is in a good mood, he won't be a bother to anyone.
"Eat, eat, eat."
"Yes!"
Giving a big smile to Jingi who was next to him, Yukito proceeded to eat the meat. Then suddenly, with an expression close to ecstasy, he let out a breath.
"Haa... Being able to get money from a part-time job and eat such delicious meat for free. I wonder if it's okay to be so happy."
"Hmm? Who said it's free?"
"Eh?"
Yukito's hand, which was once again reaching for the meat with his chopsticks, suddenly stopped. Jingi smiled and uttered outrageous words. If that's true...
"J-Jingi-san? Isn't this rice free?"
"Well, you can't get that kind of high-quality meat in an izakaya, right? That's a terrific item, and it's on the menu, "Wagyu beef tenderloin with shredded radish and ponzu sauce". Well, it's super special, so the price is 2500 yen."
"Well, because it's about Jingi-san..."
"It is true that I baked it. But who ate it? Who, where?"
"......"
Yukito involuntarily lowered his gaze when asked about the truth. Three quarters of the wagyu beef tenderloin that should have been in the pan was already gone. Yukito knew better than anyone where the meat had disappeared.
"Is the high-quality meat you eat at your hard-earned part-time job delicious?"
"Uh..."
With a rueful expression, Yukito grabbed his chopsticks.
He was happy with this grilled meat because he thought it was part of his reward for his work and it was free. If the price had been presented from the beginning, Yukito probably wouldn't have eaten it.
He wanted to use the money he earned from his first part-time job for what he wanted. If possible, everyone should want to do it. At the very least, there's no way he would want to use it for high-class meat that he was forced to eat like this.
"Huh? Do you have any regrets? Yes, I have good news for you."
Paff. Jingi clapped.
"You can treat me to that meat. However, there are conditions."
"Conditions?"
"Keep working with me until the store closes."
"Even if you tell me to work, the shop is already..."
"Yes, Izakaya "Usagi" is closed. From now on, Izakaya "Kappa" will open."
"Kappa?"
Yukito frowned at the mysterious meaning of the name. But more than that, there was a point in his speech that he needed to question.
"Um, about this, Mitarai-san..."
"Don't tell him."
"So you're saying you want to open a shop without permission?"
"As expected, it would be dangerous if it were found out. But it's not a problem."
Jingi put his elbow on the shoulder of Yukito who was sitting on the chair. And as he looked at the disciple's face...
"You and I are the only ones who know about this."
He gave him a proud smile.
In conclusion, he had a problem.
"No, I don't want... I don't want him to get mad at me. If you want to do it, shouldn't you do it yourself, Jingi-san?"
Yukito showed his rebellious intentions with a strong look.
Then he took a deep breath.
"This is delicious, Yukito! Wagyu beef tenderloin! After all, it is the most expensive menu item in this restaurant!"
Shhh. No, he let out a loud voice as to reach the person who lives on the second floor.
"Kuh..."
Yukito nodded in disappointment.
In front of him, Jingi gently placed a cup of tea. A cup of hot tea to take a breather after a meal and for those who accept defeat.
"Why did you suddenly get motivated? Even when Mitarai-san called you, you really didn't want to work."
In the teacup, Yukito stared at the light brown water surface with slight ripples. The tea that "Usagi" served as a service was not green tea but leaf tea.
"I still hate it. But, even though I don't like working, I don't dislike earning money."
Jingi made a circle with his thumb and forefinger and laughed.
"There are zero-cost ingredients and there's a place to cook and sell them. There's no way not to take advantage of this. If all goes well, I won't have to worry about paying for alcohol for a while."
Jingi spoke of his ambition with flaming eyes.
Looking at the situation from the side, Yukito thought seriously.
(I wish he could turn this motivation into a pulse.)
And in secret, the Izakaya "Kappa" began its activity.
On the surface, it's still just "Usagi". As a result, customers arrived knowing nothing.
"Good evening, are you still on duty?"
Another new customer appeared from behind the noren curtain. He was a man in his fifties with a towel wrapped around his head like a headband.
"Yes, welcome."
It was Yukito who greeted him with a drawn smile. The expression on his face stiffened again with a sense of tension that it wasn't a normal business, unlike when the store first opened.
"That's a new face. Where are you from?"
The man in the towel looked curiously at Yukito's face.
"Well..."
Yukito wondered why he was there and how he could explain it, including the circumstances of the store.
"Oh, come on, man!"
A cheerful voice from the kitchen echoed across the counter.
"Isn't that exhaustive? What happened to Azuki-chan?"
In response to the towel man's question, Jingi pointed to the second floor and said, "He's sick and left early."
"But the mansion is closed, so today we will manage this shop."
"Hey, are you okay with that, Jingi-chan?"
With a mocking laugh, the man in the towel sat down at the counter.
"Is it okay to place an order? For now, beer and fried nankotsu..."
"Sorry. We don't have much food or alcohol left today. We can only serve a set menu."
Yukito bowed his head apologetically.
On the other hand, the man with the towels looked worried.
"Is that so? So what do you have?"
"Highball and Kakiage!"
In response to the towel man's question, Jingi barked at the moment when he was about to eat. It was a tremendous force, like he was jumping off the counter.
"Jingi-san, please give me a special kakiage."
"Okay!"
As Yukito gave his order, Jingi grabbed a bowl that was nearby. The content is tempura batter made by mixing cake flour with liquid egg made by combining cold water and eggs. He poured over the edamame beans, the carrots cut into flower petals, and the pulled pork in another bowl.
After confirming the ingredients that Mitarai had entrusted to get rid of, Jingi came up with this kakiage. There is a high degree of freedom in the combination of ingredients, and since the vegetables are already cut for preparation, it does not take long. And more than anything...
"This freshly fried one is violently delicious...!"
With an evil profile that makes it hard to believe he's cooking, Jingi stared at the kakiage dancing in the golden oil.
The weak point of fried foods is that they do not have a lasting flavor. Compared to other cooking methods, flavor and texture are lost significantly over time.
However, if he can limit the dishes he prepares to just kakiage and continue to offer customers freshly fried kakiage, that's not the limit.
That is the "answer" that Jingi had deduced. That's half the reason.
By the way, for the other half it was simply annoying to prepare various dishes.
However, freshly fried kakiage wrapped in a fragrant crispy batter was very popular, oblivious to the schemes of the kitchen.
"Stuffed Kakiage!"
"Here too!"

40 Day Anime Challenge Day 37- Worst dub of all time: Cardcaptors (2000), English dub of Cardcaptor Sakura
Tumblr media
Ok, this is my last Cardcaptor Sakura post!!! See synopsis here.
DISCLAIMER: I love Cardcaptor Sakura. And, in its own way, I also love the English dub Cardcaptors. After all, it was my first anime, and it is the reason I got into anime at all. It had my first anime crush, Eriol (Eli in the dub). And all of Sakura’s outfits are the reason I started drawing; I was so mesmerized by all the pretty costumes that I wanted to create my own. And it was one of the few shows marketed for girls on the WB’s Saturday morning cartoons, which, growing up without cable and in the pre-streaming era, was one of the few cartoon viewing options available. I found Sakura to be a very relatable person; she was cheerful, had a lot of energy, was awkward at times, a little slow to understand more subtle social cues, daydreamt a lot, and loved those dear to her intensely. Shortly after Cardcaptors, Sailor Moon came on and overshadowed it, and while I also loved and still love SM, Cardcaptors was my favorite because Sakura was near my age and relatable in a way Usagi and her friends wouldn’t be until I was older.
But, after growing up, reading the manga, and watching the original subtitled version, I’ve realized that the dub is almost a different story entirely than the sub. Because instead of just translating the script from Japanese to English, they HEAVILY edited the plot to make it more “kid friendly” for American children. They basically cut almost all romance out of the plot entirely, except for Meiling’s incredibly one-sided and obsessive crush on Sayoran. (Sure, leave the toxic ship in) Now, look, I understand that no CLAMP story is ever really kid friendly, even the ones that feature children as the main characters. The target audience in Japan was teen/YA girls and women, which was not a demographic interested enough in anime (especially ones about children) to market to them in the US in the late 90s/early 2000s. So, they marketed it to elementary school girls. 
And so maybe a little editing was necessary, though thankfully the original anime had already edited out some of the wildest elements of the manga (looking at you, Terada-sensei and Rika) And maybe the eventual romance between Sakura and Sayoran should have been toned down a bit. Like, elementary/middle school kids might have crushes and “date” (i.e.: holding hands and sharing cookies) but they’re probably not falling in love. But to eliminate all romance? The bears were not  “thank you” gifts and we all know it! Also, cutting out the part where Yukito (Julian in the dub) tells Sakura that he loves Touya (Tori in the dub)??? That was a totally healthy, age-appropriate depiction of late teen/early college age courting! Children see these much older characters and think, oh I’ll have a love like that when I grow up! But...too gay for America in 2000. And Tomoyo’s(Madison in the dub) unrequited crush on Sakura, removed. That could have been toned down to age appropriate level without getting cut. Tomoyo’s support of Sakura and her relationship with Sayoran is an excellent lesson for children about consent and not pushing your feelings on someone who doesn’t return them and not refusing to be friends because of it. Also Ruby Moon was explicitly female in the dub, when they were canonically genderless in the source material, but, if they’re going to cut the gay, of course they’re going to cut the genderqueer smh. Touya was also openly bi in the original, but that is proven by showing his past relationship with his middle school teacher, so I can’t really blame the dub for overwriting that part. Like I said, CLAMP isn’t kid-friendly. 
Cardcaptor Sakura was a feminist and LGBTQ+ icon far ahead of its time. And Cardcaptors...was a good children’s show and gateway to anime for a lot of American girls, but it was a children’s show. It was very “villain of the week,” which, given the slow progression of the main plot, was alleviated in the original by the romantic subplots absent in the dub. Cardcaptors could have been the icon it was in Japan, and I’m sure it would have been a much more faithful adaptation had it been released in the late 2010s to now, but alas.
Also, the English voices SUCK. I don’t know how I didn’t notice that as a child lol

I'm actually half-serious about making Casagi a thing btw! I do have a Casagi fic (possibly Radiant Souls-adjacent, haven't yet decided but I'm leaning toward it) that's half-realized and in the works. There's a chapter or two that I may finish and put out there, see how people like it? Maybe. Depends on my energy levels, I'm always working on too many things at once.
The chemistry between those two is absolutely adorable, though. It's definitely a First Real Young Love story but in a way that I feel would appeal to an older audience too. I mean I'm usually not one for teen romance these days because I'm typically a bit more interested in the dynamics of older adult love, not the dynamics of around high school-aged kids (as if my interest in Baronjitsu etc. doesn't make that beyond obvious that I like those oldies lol.)
But the way I plan to write Casagi is:
These two are ~18-19.
This is Casey/Krow's first crush ever, because of course as a child in war he did not have time for that, much less knowing people his age for a long enough period.
Usagi/Yukito has dated a little bit (unbeknownst to him he is popular and crushed on by many genders since he's a pretty boy type) but relationships never worked out long-term and no one has ever made him Feel Like This before.
When they first meet happens some time after the Krang Invasion, when Krow/Casey is able to get his bearings and start to adjust to life in the present.
In this verse, there's no conflict of adult versions because Casey Jr. never met adult Usagi in the Future timeline. He and Usagi meeting is unique to the fixed present timeline.
Casey/Krow and Usagi/Yukito are complementing opposites in various ways, both character traits and aesthetics. They are naturally very curious about each other as a result.
I think that's a pretty cute starting point for them! But there will be more of these two at some point. I didn't develop ideas for many, many months for nothing. I really plan to do more, I was just nervous because it is a pairing that it seems no one has ever made before (which I am very surprised about).

I grew up watching cardcaptor Sakura and Sailor moon more than anything as kid and it never occurred to me that touya x yuki’s relationship was any different than sakura x syaoron or usagi x mamoru’s reln from michiru x haruka’s . They were such formative years in our lives. People really don’t give anime enough credit !

"AYAKA – SIDE STORIES 02" (Part 02/04)
"IZAKAYA "KAPPA" PROSPERITY STORY"
TRANSLATION: NARU-KUN
* List of Chapters
"I'm sorry. Please come quickly."
Said a man. Pretty tall looking and somewhat philosophical. His age ranges from his twenties to his thirties. He wears an apron over his pants and clean shirt.
"If you don't think it's bad, don't call me."
The answer was from the other man, Jingi. Sticking both thumbs into the left and right pockets of his pants, he looked at the aproned man with a nonchalant face.
"Didn't I tell you on the phone? The mansion is going to Ichinoshima for a family wedding, so we don't have enough people."
"That's why I'm your assistant."
"That's because you're the most reliable."
"Not at all."
The aproned man's response made his eyebrow twitch. Although his expression was still negative, it seems that it was a good answer that tickled the heart of this labor denialist.
"Above all, you were the easiest to persuade. If they tell you, "I won't let you drink on the account again", you will definitely come, right?"
"Persuasion, huh? The general public calls it a threat, mind you."
Jingi clenched his fists and shook his body.
Seeing that, the man in the apron gave a small laugh.
"If you don't want to be called that, stop drinking on the bill from now on."
"Then please make the drink free every time. Then there will be no bills."
"Do you want to destroy the store, idiot?"
The man in the apron shook his head with a wry smile at the unlikely proposition. Then suddenly a boy was caught in the corner of his vision. It was Yukito Yanagi.
"Uh..."
Noticing the aproned man's gaze, Yukito touched the post next to him as if he was calling for help. It is a special post where Kurama Haruaki accepts applications from the Ninoshima Islanders. Oddly enough, Yukito was brought here for his mission, right near the place where he met two of Kurama's disciples the other day.
"Jingi, who is that kid?"
Looking at Yukito, the man in the apron asked.
"You've talked to him before. He's Yukito Yanagi."
"Oh, Yanagi-sensei."
The man in the apron nodded two or three times in response to his answer. Apparently, to some degree, he had heard Yukito's information through Jingi.
"I am Azuki Mitarai, the owner of the Izakaya "Usagi" in the back."
The man in the apron, Mitarai, jerked his thumb behind him. What is there is a nice two-story wooden building, although it is not large. On the sign on the second floor, the word "Usagi" is written in large letters.
"Nice to meet you, Yukito-kun."
"Hello. I'm Yukito Yanagi."
Yukito waved back as he rolled his eyes. Aside from Jingi and Momoko, who he sees every day, he still feels awkward when he meets someone for the first time. It cannot be avoided because it is the result of living a life that avoids socialization.
"Ah, that's right, Azuki-chan. He will be working with you today."
"Ah!"
Yukito's eyes widened in surprise at his words. It's an expression like "I haven't heard of that" that he wanted to model.
"I'll save myself with more manpower, but... Yukito-kun, is alright?"
"No, I..."
The next moment, when Yukito was about to reply to Mitarai's confirmation…
"Why don't you go there and have a chat with your teacher, my beloved disciple?"
Grabbing the disciple by the neck, the master pulled him without saying yes or no. Yukito finally managed to untie the devotion arm from him when he was some distance away from "Usagi" and Mitarai.
"What is this? What happened to the new training?"
Yukito frowned and walked over to him.
"This is training."
Jingi spoke without any sign of remorse.
"Please stop joking around. No matter how you look at it, it's a part-time worker at an Izakaya. It's completely irrelevant, right?"
"Hey, who said that you are training to connect your pulse? This will train your communication skills!"
"This, my communication skills?"
"That's right. You've lived avoiding people because you're afraid that your powers will get out of control, right? That's why, when you talk to people, you're afraid. Your eyes water. Your voice shakes. So, what do you do when your classmates talk to you in high school? Don't miss out on making friends."
"Oh...!"
Yukito, who was leaning forward to denounce his righteousness, leaned back slightly.
Definitely, without a doubt, the words of dedication are a fallacy. He intends to involve Yukito in order to reduce his own work, even a little.
Even Yukito is fully aware of that. But...
"Will I improve my communication skills through this "training"? If that's the case, a fun high school life surrounded by friends is your thing."
Just like the finishing blow, Jingi whispered into Yukito's ear. The cloudy smile, the sweet words that make people happy and the whispers of the devil.
"That's cowardly... That way of saying it."
Yukito didn't want to give up. However, the words no will no longer come out.
"I'm going to tell Azuki-chan that you're ready to work too."
"Ah..."
Yukito's voice stopped him as he realized something.
"What?"
"Actually, I'm a high school student yet. Is it okay to work part-time?"
"Don't worry. Ichinoshima's mainland atmosphere aside, other islands don't care about such details."
"But..."
"I get it. Well, let's say you're here to help out at a friend's house, not a part-time job. Then, as a token of gratitude, I'll get paid for it and that'll solve the problem."
Jingi moved away from Yukito as he waved his hand. He is sure that he plans to go to Mitarai again to tell him that Yukito will also be working.
Looking at that back, Yukito said:
"How often do such quips come to you so easily?"
He muttered that with a half-astonished, half-impressed face.
Like the exterior, the interior of the Izakaya "Usagi" was very simple. It consists of four long tables that seat between six and eight people, and seating at the counter that seats about seven people.
"Then, it's a job I'll be in charge of."
Mitarai in an apron opened his mouth. At the end of his line of sight, he saw the figures of Jingi and Yukito, who are also wearing aprons. They were having a pre-opening meeting in the kitchen, across the counter.
"My duty is to help cook and drink. Yukito-kun, I will ask you to attend to the customers."
"Eh?"
Jingi slightly raised his hand while yawning.
"Hahaha!"
Yukito straightened his back... no, he stiffened and answered.
"You're very nervous. He's funny."
Jingi happily patted Yukito's tense back. Usually, at times like this, the disciple shakes off the hand of the teacher upset with him.
"...I'm nervous. It's my first time serving customers, so I wonder if I can do it right."
It's the first part-time job of his life and it doesn't seem to be a problem in the hospitality industry. It seemed that his face was turning pale.
"Silly. No one is waiting for you."
"That's right!"
Yukito's face became visibly hurt by the words Jingi uttered. Perhaps it was strange for Yukito to keep changing his expression like that.
"It's your first time, so it's not going to work out anyway. You make a lot of mistakes and you get really embarrassed."
"Does that mean failing and being embarrassed is also training?"
Yukito asked anxiously. Despite his low level of socialization experience, he tried to understand the true meaning of his words. He believed sanely.
But...
"No, I just want to see you. It seems interesting to see you nervous."
"This person is a devil."
Yukito was horrified by his response as he laughed.
Reality and Sagawa Jingi are generally not good.
"It's almost time to open. Jingi, break it up into small appetizer bowls of potato salad."
"What I hate the most is that kind of detailed work."
Responding to the merchant's instructions, Jingi went to the shelf to grab a small bowl, even as he grumbled. At the same time, Mitarai approached Yukito.
"Don't worry, Yukito-kun. When the time comes, Jingi will follow up."
"Jingi-san is a follower?"
Yukito's eyes were half suspicious. Since there was an exchange before, it seems that the trust is buried rather than in the ground.
"The guy who comes to the store as a customer is the worst kind of person who doesn't pay the bill for his drinking habit. But as a staff member who works with him, there is no one more trustworthy than him."
After saying that with a smile, Mitarai tapped Yukito on the shoulder.
"Then please bring the noren. The shop is open."
"Oh, yes."
Yukito left the kitchen and picked up the noren placed near the restaurant's entrance.
However, he didn't go out to the store as he was and silently looked back over his shoulder. He could see the kitchen over the counter. Next to Mitarai, who was working with a straight face, Jingi was about to yawn.
"Reliable, huh."
Yukito shook his head as if to say that it was impossible and left the store.
And when the night approached Ninoshima, opened "Usagi".
As soon as he opened the shop, customers came for the May Rain ceremony. There are already two groups at the table and three seats at the counter. Izakaya "Usagi" seems to be quite popular, even if you subtract the fact that there aren't many stores on the island.
"W-Welcome!"
Yukito greeted the new group of elders with an awkward yet smiling face. He has come into contact with various groups so far. It's actually easier to have a conversation with a customer than it is to exchange words with someone you meet for the first time in your daily life.
(I think I'll try to work as a waiter when I start high school.), Yukito thought.
Yukito's tension eased as his thought flickered.
But...
"Ah! There's a cute girl I haven't seen before! Yashiki-chan, are you free today?"
"Uh, well, it's a family wedding. So instead..."
"Look, this kid! He's the one staying with Momoko-chan."
"Ah, so you are Yanagi-sensei's son who returned from the mainland!"
"I am indebted to Yanagi-sensei in many ways!"
"Well, that's correct. So, the order is..."
"At your age, Yanagi-sensei was a sweet boy!"
"That's right! Young Inou always had a pale face when he was influenced! I can't believe he's the mayor now!"
"Um... the order..."
Yukito was there with a worried face along with the elders who recalled their memories. To be able to get into this quick conversation, that's exactly what is missing in his training right now.
"Don't be silly, order fast and contribute to sales! This is not the front porch next door!"
A voice that sounds like a person interrupting a sports game came flying in from the kitchen. The source is Jingi with a mischievous smile on his face.
"Haha, what's up? Are you doing the dishes today to pay the bills?"
"Azuki-chan, you should use him as much as possible!"
The old return a great mockery to the truth. They then turned to Yukito again.
"I'm sorry I kept you waiting. So, can I place an order?"
"Yes."
Yukito filled out the handwritten sheets with the names of the sake and the dishes that were finally ordered.
(I wonder if he helped me.), Yukito thought.
Yukito looked towards the kitchen as he took orders. The person who could have helped him was laughing open-mouthed with the customers sitting at the counter. It seems that Jingi also frequents this shop frequently, so if he sees a regular customer, he can always say hello like this.
(By chance? But...), Yukito thought.
Still, that didn't change the fact that he wanted to do it. However, since there was a high probability that he would get involved in a problematic way if he said it directly, Yukito decided to thank him in his heart.
"Here's the order. Two draft beers, one highball, one oolong highball, one edamame, one sashimi of the day, one bowl of yakitori sauce, one salt, one thick omelet, and one or more specialty salads."
About an hour had passed since the business opened, and Yukito and the Izakaya lounge staff were already following the board. They do not hesitate to take customer orders and communicate the content to the two people in the kitchen.
"Ok."
Mitarai nodded in response to Yukito, and immediately called the person in charge of drinks, "Jingi", who was about to start making alcoholic drinks.
"Help me cook. I'll make the yakitori, so make the sashimi, salad, and tamagoyaki."
"Huh? Do I somehow have more stuff than you?"
Despite the dissatisfied voice, Mitarai brilliantly ignored him. He then called Yukito over the counter from the kitchen.
"I'd like to order a drink from you. Please bring the green soybeans as well."
"I'll do Jingi-san's job!"
A kitchen that cannot be said to be big, if it hadn't been for such a place, Yukito would have inadvertently withdrawn. Of course, he was happy to be entrusted with a new job.
However, this is the first part-time job for Yukito. It cannot be avoided that anxiety prevails over happiness.
"It's okay because the menu isn't that difficult. The recipe is written in the notebook on the back shelf. It's something like a manual I wrote when I moved into the mansion."
"Yes."
As he answered, Yukito headed towards the shelf at the back of the kitchen pointed out by Mitarai. The target notebook was in the drawer, which was mainly used to store tableware.
"So, I wonder if I can..."
Yukito wondered with a stiff expression. So...
"Take it easy, easy."
At the cutting board, Jingi smiled as she lightly sliced through the colorful vegetables. He looks like he's making a special salad himself right now.
"Customers here don't mind if they get drunk. They don't know the taste of sake anyway."
"I can hear you!"
Laughing protests rang out from the audience in response to the open and honest comments.
Seeing such a light-hearted exchange, Yukito laughed as they called out to him saying "Hahaha...". He made him feel a little better.
(Let's try for now.), Yukito thought.
Yukito made up his mind and began to move.
The first thing Yukito started was a beer that required the least amount of processing.
Pouring beer from a beer mug into a pre-chilled mug. Simple as that.
However, even if it is simple when you write it, there are many things that do not turn out as expected when you try it. And apparently, pouring beer, for Yukito was one of those.
"I ended up with nothing but bubbles..."
Looking at the mug, which clearly had too much white area, Yukito's face darkened.
He was aiming for the golden ratio of 3 for bubbles and 7 for liquid, which he saw in movies and dramas, but ended up with something with the opposite ratio.
"That's strange... I followed the manual..."
Yukito looked at the notebook. There are instructions and illustrations on how to pour beer. Whether it was made by Mitarai or added by the mansion is unknown, but it is a cute round design.
"Ah. Was the angle supposed to be more?"
Yukito found the words "The angle at which the cup is tilted is the point" taped to the side of the illustration. Then, using the experiences of the predecessors as inspiration, he tried again.
"Ok, nice feeling."
A beer with a beautiful contrast between white and gold was born. Yukito satisfactorily lifted his mouth and poured a second glass of beer.
"Next is Oolong High."
Right next to the beer page, there was an entry for shochu high, so Yukito happened to work at oolong high.
He puts some ice in a chilled glass and adds an appropriate amount of shochu. From the attached illustration, it seems like the trick is to give it a slight stir once in there to make it delicious. Then he adds the oolong tea and mix it up so the whole thing feels familiar and complete.
(Maybe this is the right one.), Yukito thought.
Having finished preparing the three drinks that had already been ordered, Yukito's heart was beginning to relax a bit. But...
"Eh? Bubbles..."
He realized it when he took out the glass of whiskey. The foam of the first beer burst and the balance that seemed to be the golden ratio was lost.
"Uh, um... what should I do in this situation?"
Yukito flipped through the pages of the notebook quickly. However, while there are tips and tricks on how to create a drink menu, there's no way to fill in the gaps.
Also, by doing so, the foam area of not only the first beer but also the second beer became suspect.
"Sorry! Do you have the beer yet?"
As if to add another punch, a demanding voice rose from the audience.
(I have to do something... I have to do something soon... Quick, quick, quick...), Yukito thought.
Yukito desperately tried to find a solution. However, the more he hurried, the duller and heavier his thought became. It's a vicious circle to the point of being splendid.
"What the hell are you doing alone?"
"Cold?!"
Suddenly, a cold and stinging sensation hit the back of his neck. Then, his reduced field of vision suddenly widened and he noticed that there was a familiar person next to him.
"J-Jingi-san?"
"Don't serve beer while looking like it's the end of the world. I told you take it easy, take it easy."
With a fearless smile, Jingi tossed rock ice into the sink. It seems that this has alienated Yukito from his own world.
"Are you okay with cooking?"
"Ok, it was nothing, I was too efficient and I have free time."
While joking, Jingi looked at the area where Yukito was working. After a while, he made a guessing face with "Hmm.".
"Prepare the edamame for now. Then refill the beer."
"So, this foamy beer is..."
"I'll take care of that. Look, the guests are waiting. Hurry up."
"Yes."
Yukito nodded, backed by the momentum of his dedication. The boy's face was much brighter than when he was alone and desperate.
Yukito ran to the refrigerator and took out a container containing edamame. The already boiled yellow-green pods were then transferred to a bamboo strainer for individual servings.
"Edamame is fine. After that, beer..."
Yukito muttered as he moved his hand away.
Jingi, who was looking at him sideways, said with a small smile, "Didn't you learn the word carefree in school?" But he's not just looking at the boy at work, his hand is in constant motion.
He poured ice into a glass, add whiskey and mix with soda. He inserted a mixer to finish, but the number of times he mixed is extremely small. This is to prevent carbonic acid from escaping.
"Eh..."
Yukito was involuntarily fascinated by the flowing tricks.
"Don't be blown away, get it to the customer quickly. You'll run out of bubbles again."
Was much. He placed the finished highball on the worktable. The sound made Yukito come to his senses. He had two freshly refilled beers in his hands and was playing refreshing music.
"I'm coming!"
Yukito ran towards the audience.
After that, going back and forth to the kitchen several times, he was finally able to offer all the drink menus.
"All drinks are gone."
When Yukito returned to the kitchen, the food was placed on the work table that had been handling alcohol until just now. A colorful salad and white sashimi that makes you feel fresh and elastic. They both look very delicious.
"I can cook. Please take that."
The tamagoyaki, the aroma of dashi soup rising along with the steam, was placed on a new square flat plate, and Jingi looked to Yukito.
"Oh, yes."
Yukito took the plate of food and spoke to him in a low voice.
"Thanks for that earlier. It was helpful."
He was embarrassed, so he tended to look away a bit instead of looking at him squarely. However, there was no reaction from Jingi.
"Jingi-san?"
Thinking that he hadn't heard, Yukito looks at Jingi again. So...
"Glup, glup, glup...!"
"Hey..."
Yukito widened his eyes and was surprised at what happened. That was because the sage in front of him was crouching on the spot and holding a mug of beer.
"You're crazy, Jingi-san...! You're at work...!"

Sailor Moon is the only series where I have different ships depending on the adaption. For the most part, manga and anime have the same ships, but the absolute curveball that was PGSM (my favorite adaption, hands down) gave me a TON of new ships I’d have never considered otherwise, who I DON’T ship in the manga/anime.
1. Usagi/Mamoru. Across all adaptions, I ship these two, and the reason is actually funny. I never used to like either of them, so I just shoved them together. It wasn’t until PGSM that I ever liked Usagi at all. I found her to be whiney and annoying in the anime, and once I got my hands on the manga, my dislike of anime Usagi had permeated too deep for me to like manga Usagi. PGSM Usagi is a much more expanded concept of Usagi as a whole, and Mamoru (while still embodying Sailor Moon’s very own Princess Peach) has a whole arc of development and backstory himself. PGSM is the only adaption in which I like Mamoru, even now.
2. Ami/Nephrite, PGSM only. PGSM has a whole side story for many of its minor characters and expands on the girls outside of the concept of senshi. Tbh PGSM is a slice of life show disguised as a tokusatsu, and it’s super apparent in how they treat the characters. Ami has an entire arc of her own where she ends up brainwashed and has several scenes with Nephrite, who is sort of the black sheep of the Shitennou for reasons that are never explained. This fledging relationship continues after Nephrite is reincarnated as human and it’s really cute to see Ami develop outside of her relationship with Usagi (her strongest relationship in this series) and the girls. Nephrite is hotheaded and angry at the world and Ami makes him just so soft.
3. Ami/Zoisite, manga and Crystal. While I very much detest the first two seasons of Crystal for their abominable animation (through no fault of the animators, I blame Toei and their complete disregard of their fans and employees), I DO like that they tried to work in the senshi/Shitennou romance that Naoko hinted at in the art books. It was stupid rushed but it’s the only incarnation that really attempts it. I wish it had had time to develop.
4. Rei/Minako, PGSM only. PGSM only deals with the Dark Kingdom (sadly) and Rei/Minako are its Haruka/Michiru. I actually ship them harder than I ship PGSM Usagi/Mamoru. Several episodes are given over to the development of their relationship, which is not easy to do given the way they took Minako in this series, and Rei is the only one of the girls to even have a real relationship with Minako, even over Usagi. They trust each other on a deep level, and fight with each others’ weapons at two critical points in the series.
5. Minako/Zoisite, PGSM only. Zoisite in this series, like most of the Shitennou, differs drastically from his manga and anime component, and I actually really like this one more than I like him in the anime and manga. Beryl’s hold on Zoisite is the weakest of all the Shitennou, and he spends his time doing exactly three things: playing piano, pining over Mamoru Endymion, and stalking Minako. (Truth be told, I enjoy his relationship with Endymion more, but the one with Minako leads into my next point.)
6. Minako/Kunzite, anime and manga. Minako managed to bag not one but two Shitennou with her love powers and that is a FEAT. You get it, girl. I really like the dynamic of two leaders together, and really enjoy Silver Millennium Minako/Kunzite fics.
7. Makoto/Motoki, PGSM only. This was another fun little thing PGSM did, and Makoto is the only other senshi to have a confirmed relationship in the series. Motoki himself is pretty fleshed out for a minor character, with his own little quirks (turtles!), and he is over the moon for Makoto. By the end of the series they’re engaged.
8. Haruka/Michiru, anime and manga. Who DOESN’T ship HaruMichi? I actually shipped HaruMichi way before I ever shipped anyone else on this list. Along with Touya/Yukito from Cardcaptor Sakura, they were THE definition of LGBTQ+ relationships (for me) for much of my childhood. They have an extremely adult relationship, possibly even an open relationship (or at least Michiru seems to have no problem with Haruka’s flirting hobby), which isn’t really something you see often in anime. I love them, they are goals.
9. Haruka/Michiru/Setsuna, anime and manga. Very specifically during the time they are raising Hotaru. Sometimes a family can be three moms and their child the incarnation of death and destruction and that’s beautiful. They’re just such a cohesive unit that I have a hard time believing that they live together and HaruMichi HAVEN’T invited Setsuna to join them from time to time. They’re also the first OT3 I ever shipped.
10. Helios/Chibiusa, anime and manga. I think the Helios/Chibiusa shippers are as numerous as the Usagi/Mamoru shippers tbh. Like Mamoru, Helios also is a damsel in distress for much of his arc (I guess the Tsukinos have a type, which raises some interesting questions about Ikuko and Kenji), and what I really liked was that, despite the single kiss they shared, it was never really pushed on us? I think Chibiusa/Helios is the first thing I ever shipped without the source material directly telling me to do so, because I wanted them together SO BAD and was SO PISSED they weren’t. 
11. Chibiusa/Hotaru, anime and manga. Another ship I put together on my own with no direction from the source material, and the first lesbian ship I ever did that with. They are just too close and love each other too much, and Chibiusa shares more pictures with Hotaru in official media (art books, stills, promo art) than her supposed future love interest Helios! They’re just a very sweet ship, two girls trying to figure out love and stuff. 
12. Setsuna/Endymion, anime and manga. Setsuna has a thing for Endymion, but never really seems to transfer that to Mamoru. I do like unrequited ships, and this one is my favorite.
HONORABLE MENTION
1. Ami/Usagi, PGSM. Ami has a huge lesbian crush on Usagi in this version. I’m not even making this up. She ends up brainwashed due to her insecurity and depression that Usagi is replacing her by making more friends and getting a boyfriend. Usagi, of course, is oblivious.
2. Kunzite/Zoisite, classic anime. Classic anime gave us (female) Zoisite and Kunzite (named Malachite in the dub I watched) as a couple, which I actually really enjoyed. I remember being disappointed when I read the manga and Zoisite was not only not female but also not banging Malachite. They were another adult relationship, way before HaruMichi existed, that I looked forward to seeing onscreen. I’m cool now with Zoisite not being female, and Malachite’s real name being Kunzite, but I still really like their relationship in classic. Plus, they’re the only ship that can crossover the adaptions in my brain to form the ultimate ot3 Minako/Zoisite/Kunzite. You get it, Minako.

Nah-nah-nah! Riot Ink business caaaards! *heehee*
I'm okay, really.
I am headachey!!! As Amy would say... my head is doing the achey brakey dance of PAIN. So, I imagine I will get nothing done in class. Ms. Fotinos is gonna kill me for skipping anyway... *sighs*
Querida! I shall continue my efforts to make dad buckle!!
Meagen-san.... really, I know what you mean. Technically, I can draw, but I kinda lack depth in my art (from what I can see). There are very few pictures that turn out with the emotion or realism I want them to come out with..... and funny enough, that kyara that I tend to make look how I want is good ol' Lucas.
Lucas: What can I say? I'm perfect. *mutters* Yeah, right...
And yes, you're getting fanart. Now if only I can manage to scan it....
Meg's Art Corner! Raphael-chan, or as I refer to him in RPs, Lian's Rukura. This is a fine example of what I draw in math class on scrap paper. And querida? It's not THAT good. ^##^;;;;
That's all from me!
Over an' out!
( 10:48 PM )   Of course my idea is good, querida! I'm so smart after all! *tosses away IQ test scores that say only 142* Lucas with blue hair.... streaked with green!!!!!! Yeeaaah, baby!       ( 3:23 PM )   Warning, incoming rant!
STUPID! GODDAMN FLIPPIN' STUPID!! What a GOOD way to get yourself killed! Doing f*cking drugs! STUPID STUPID!!! Goddamn it! I mean, pot, okay that's bad. Bad and STUPID. But 'shrooms?!! HOT DAMN IS THAT STUPID!! And not only that, getting yourself into a situation where you get thrown out of your mom's house?! F*cking stupid! *fumes*
(note: never mind, needed to vent.... friend issues)
( 2:00 PM )   At home and skipping civics class.... *whistles and rocks back on her heels* 9.9
You know what's scary? It's scary when a dood whom you eat lunch with even jokes about wanting to rape you. That's scary. Even scarier is when he pins you against the wall and you have to fight him off, and when he comes back, your best (guy) friends beat the living sh*t out of him. Not quite sure what to make of this.... big super duper hugs and thank yous to Mike and Matt, my new bodyguards. Dan, touch me again, and they'll kill you for sure. I'll see to it. *sweet smile*
( 7:32 AM )   Morning blog!
Querida: Yep, the Mark plot is similar to our dj idea... except a bit more profound. *heh* And seriously, tho, a good plot would be something to the effect of Mark goes baaaad-niichan and tries to end the world, and you gots to stop him. There's a plot. Hooray for plots! Cam's efforts on trying to get Mark to put some sort of value on his own body should start working someday. I mean, HOW many times has Cam explained it? Not to mention, Mark has a nice idea of how Cam thinks now that he's been inside his mind. Mark-niichan's a slut.... but I love him anyway!
Cam: *pounds the living daylights out of Meg for calling Mark such a thing*
*heeheehee* Animal comparisons! *heehee* I gotta try that! Rukura = gecko Poya = otter Yuken = viper Lucifer = duck Michael = horse Zachariah = pot-bellied pig (personality wise) Gabriel = peacock Kanson = crocodile (someone patch in a call to australia, let's get the Crocodile Hunter in here, please... *crosses fingers*)
Meagen-san: I'm working on a fanart for you of SailorM. I shall prolly CG it tonight or tomorrow, okie?
School blows! I don't wanna go to school! WAH!

( 6:24 PM )   Chris-kun: Dood, a meant the person playing as being Mark... ^__^;;
Meg-chan's on net restrictions, lalalalala... she's gonna get in trouble if she gets caught on the internet, lalalalala... she's rewriting stats for LotM, lalalalala.... she's TOO attached to Raphael-chan, lalala--
Rukura: *belts Meg in the head* Don't call me that! Meg: It's your legal name, isn't it? I like it better 'an Rukura...
Dan wants me to hit him. In the eeeeeew kinda way. Do I really come across as that much of a dom? @_@
( 7:16 AM )   Morning blog!
This is bound to be a short enrty, as mom is home. Sooo...
I had a really funky dream last night, but I don't remember it. All I remember is waking up a lot, upset, and trying to recall where I was. Bennett was curled up to me most of the night (good spiritie dood ^_^), but I don't think it helped much.... ah, well, it's the thought that counts.
Yesterday, I blew $44 on prismacolor pens. I got the box set of cool greys, plus a replacement 60% warm grey as mine is running out. That's me broke for another month now.
BMB is cuuuuuute today. *giggles* I want my verra' own Mik! I *heartheart* Mik! Rach, you better get me a Mik for my birthday! Or else!
I can't draw worth beans lately. *cries*
to Chris-kun: Thanks for the comment on the layout... and maybe now I'll bug querida to do an AH game (I honestly didn't think about that @_@).
*ponders* Yeah, you could go arouns as Mark in the game, and you could sleep with every second person you run into---
Cam: SHUT UP! *thwacks Meg* Meg: Hey, it's not my fault that your hubby is a total sl--- Cam: *throws a table at Meg* Meg: Itaaaai. X_X
Otaaay, enough out of me. Over and out.
( 11:44 PM )   Hal is GOD... lalalala! Hal is thy holy master!       ( 11:27 PM )   Purple is a nice colour! It's the colour of hentai. ^__^;       ( 12:30 AM )   BEHOLD THE NEW LAYOUT!!!
....very purple, isn't it?
( 3:58 PM )   This close >< to shooting myself...       ( 3:56 PM )   I WILL get this to work.... I swear I will.       ( 3:53 PM )   HTML is annoying. Background image, where are you?       ( 3:50 PM )   Let's hope for the background image now.... *crosses fingers*       ( 3:45 PM )   Playing with the layout...       ( 3:25 PM )   This is the temp layout, as I'm altering this puppy to look how I want it to. New version should be up tonight.       ( 2:43 PM )   Chris-kun: the Boa cd has two names. One is the japanese release, the other is for the international market. It's either called Race of the Thousand Camels or Twilight (like this here blog!). And the Limp Bizkit cd is called Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavoured Water. And Hannibal is a lot different than the Silence of the Lambs, isn't it? I liked it, but I stand by the fact that Jodie Foster made a much better Clarice Starling than Julianne Moore could ever hope to be.
Anyway.
My Bennett still isn't home... Dora, is he still with you? If not, you'd think he'd be home by now... *sighs*
Okay, time for me to book it outta' here for a bit afore dad calls and has a fit 'cause the line is busy.
( 8:05 PM )   Interlude...
Meg: Cain and Yuken! KAWAII!!!! Yuken: *giggles and twitches his neko-mimi, looking all innocent* Rukura: ICK! Who the HELL would touch HIM!? *points at Yuken* Meg: Well, you 'touched' him once... Rukura: NOT BY CHOICE, GODDAMMIT!! .... *sneezes* Yuken: *eyes Rukura venomously* Rukura: I'll be running off to Lian now... *heads for the hills as fast as his (verra' long) legs can carry him*
( 8:00 PM )   Querida, thank goodness it's not bronchitis. That's something I get a LOT, and it's not fun at all. And ten pounds? ALRIGHT! You GO, girlfriend!! *tackleglomps* You'll be okay.... I know so! ^.^
I got the "Play" cd (Moby), which came with the edit of South Side for free. Bonus, baby! ^_____^
( 7:24 AM )   Morning blog!
Well, I feel mighty stupid this morning. Yesterday, I kinda pulled a muscle in my left leg (riiight in my calf), but it stopped hurting. Woke up from a funky dream and got up to find it hurt. Now, being the idiot I am and not usually restricted by physical pain (hey, that's what ended up breaking my ankle), I went for a shower. Feeling headachey and cramped, I worked my way down the stairs, only to pull the same muscle again and fall about halfway down and land on the cat at the bottom. ^___^;;; <---- feels very dumb
*falls over* Meagen-san, you had me scared a minute there! If you had MEANT Mark, I would have had to call in paramedics and stuff to make sure you weren't doped up on anything!!!! @_@
List of kyara and colours this blog is gonna be themed on in order of layout updates: Cam/purple (this weekend, hopefully) Lucas/red (whenever) Mark/blue (whenever) Sybandial/pink (whenever) Jesse/green (whenever)
Each layout will have a background featuring the kyara, too! ^_^
I really need a life. Over and out!
( 9:51 PM )   Song lyrics... one of Cam's most recent themes! "Learn to Fly" by the Foo Fighters
Run and tell all of the angels This could take all night Think I need a devil to help me get things right
Hook me up a new revolution Cuz this one is a lie We sat around laughing And watched the last one die
I'm looking to the sky to save me Looking for a sign of life Looking for something to help me burn out bright I'm looking for a complication Looking cuz I'm tired of lying Make my way back home when I learn to fly
I'm done nursing the patience I can wait one night I'd give it all away if you'd give me one last try We'll live happily ever trapped if you'd just save my life Run and tell the angels that everything's all right
I'm looking to the sky to save me Looking for a sign of life Looking for something to help me burn out bright I'm looking for a complication Looking cuz I'm tired of trying Make my way back home when I learn to fly Make my way back home when I learn to
Fly along with me, I can't quite make it alone Try to make this life my own Fly along with me, I can't quite make it alone Try to make this life my own
I'm looking to the sky to save me Looking for a sign of life Looking for something to help me burn out bright I'm looking for a complication Looking cuz I'm tired of trying Make my way back home when I learn to
Looking to the sky to save me Looking for a sign of life Looking for something to help me burn out bright I'm looking for a complication Looking cuz I'm tired of trying Make my way back home when I learn to fly Make my way back home when I learn to fly Make my way back home when I learn to...
( 7:06 PM )   Tay, I've decided the theme for my next layout... good ol' Bennett and the colour purple. How... fitting. ^__^
Now if only I can get this stupid HTML editor thing to work... *binks it*
( 11:05 AM )   Morning blog (late again)!
WHOO HOO! I GOT INTO THE ADVANCED VISUAL ART STUDIO CLASS!!! BIG HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ON MR. HALL!!!!
Yeaaah, I just went to first period class this morning and got my classes for next year reviewed. Then I came home because the muscles in my abdomen are spasming and it hurts like bugger all.
To all my blogging friends; I'm gonna change the layout of this blog in the next week (I have a LOT of links to add). I'm gonna theme it around an AH kyara, so lemme know who you think would be best, please. Just post your opinion in your blog, as I read most of them daily anyway. ^__^;
( 8:23 PM )   Yeah, I've neglected my duties as a blog-person lately... I have a life, you know. (Hey, the LEAST you can do is smile and nod! T_T)
Not much is happening, really. My civics class keeps getting cancelled, so I think I'll skip it tomorrow and come home early. What else to say...? Ummm, not much.
Song of the moment: "The Kids Aren't Alright" by the Offspring. I'm on a REAL Offspring kick right now... dunno why exactly. Maybe 'cause they just amuse me. ^_^;
Grammy awards. Bleeeek. *makes a face*
Amy, kids who don't like cheese are stupid! HA HA!
( 3:33 PM )   ...afternoon.... blog!
This morning I spent the whole time trying to get my scanner to work, so thus, no morning blog. But I've got some stuff say for a change!
Today, lunch period was spent bothering Dan for the most part. He really ticked me off yesterday, and I'm extracting my revenge. So, I was making him jealous by glomping Matt at every opportunity (Matt doesn't mind too much, and he's nice to hug 'cause he's always warm.... and no, Mike, he's not my boyfriend! JUST A FRIEND!! T_T). It was rather comical. Civics class was cancelled, since Ms. Fotinos was at the Raptor's game with the people who signed up to go... the half of my class that was at school for the last three periods of the day got transferred to a Grade 12 geography class, in which was SO awkward that the teacher took pity on us and sent us all home. Redoing Angel Hunter again. This time, on the right sized paper... I'm sticking with the page layouts, tho, as I think I've got the look I want.
And, for fun! Rukura's theme song lyrics!
Home by Depeche Mode
Here is a song from the wrong side of town Where I'm bound to the ground by the loneliest sound That pounds from within and is pinning me down
Here is a page from the emptiest stage A cage or the heaviest cross ever made A guage of the deadliest trap ever laid
And I thank you for bringing me here For showing me home, for singing these tears Finally I've found that I belong here
The heat and the sickliest sweet smelling sheets That cling to the backs of my knees and my feet I'm drowning in time to a desperate beat
And I thank you for bringing me here For showing me home, for singing these tears Finally I've found that I belong...
Feels like home I should have known From my first breath
God sent the only true friend I call mine Pretend that I'll make amends the next time Befriend the glorious end of the line
And I thank you for bringing me here For showing me home, for singing these tears Finally I've found that I belong here.
( 7:11 AM )   Morning Blog!
This song is tripping me out right now, but goddamn, do I love it! *grooves to "Home" by Depeche Mode* It's a really dramatic song... and it's sooooo making me think of Rukura. >_<;
It's very cold this morning. At least I think so, anyway, so I'm sitting here wearing the couch blanket as a cape. I feel like a doooork.
Meg's Art Corner (Freckle-chan, you copycat! T_T)
A special little picture; Lucas in his newest style of dress. Drool factor, out of 10? 12.
What else to say... ummm... Mom didn't leave me lunch money again. T_T;
Over and out!
( 2:12 PM )   Cam: EVERYONE RUN WHILE YOU CAN!!!! THE END IS NEAR!!!!!
....yep, for the first time in YEARS, I'm the proud owner of twp pairs of blue jeans. I've not worn blue jeans since I was about 5... and these ones fit niiiiice. I have hips and a waist.... @__@
Anyway, mom and I went to Sears and then to Curry's Art Supplies. I got my two pairs of jeans, two men's dress shirts (one white, one black), a new sketchbook, 4 new warm grey prismacolors, and a new 05 pigment pen. I am a happy Meg-chan!
Blue jeans that fit... *in shock*
( 9:09 PM )   I have officially started rewriting the Chronicles of Benjamin Carter! WHIHAI! Here's a bit of what I've written so far.
Frail. Benjamin was frail. He was about 5'4, fifteen years of age, and pale. He was small and slight in build; a boy and not yet a man. Right now, he looked more fragile than he really was... curled up under the blankets of his rather small bed, bruised and crying. It was a familiar scene.
Benjamin wiped at his eyes with the back of his hand in a vain attempt to push the tears away. However, it was pointless since more just spilled down his cheeks as if to spite him and his efforts to stop them. He hated crying. Hated it. But at times like this --- only at times like this--- he couldn't help himself. He was so tired of being forced into the clutches of rich men; predators that liked their pleasure taken out on the young boys who could be bought if the price was right. He was sick of the violation and the abuse. Most of all, he was sick of his father pushing him into it. His own father. He hiccupped in his efforts to restrain his tears.
Benjamin wanted more than anything to run away. Run away to another city, another country, anywhere but where he was. Just out of the clutches of the people who hurt him so much. But he was trapped like the birds his father kept in the iron cages that lined the back yard. He was a prisoner, shackled to the bars of his perpetual cage. Derkshaw would catch him if he ran. Derkshaw always caught him.
"Damn him to hell," Benjamin thought bitterly, though he regretted thinking it for reasons he couldn't quite explain.
There was a tap of boots in the hallway, and Benjamin closed his eyes, breathed deeply, and pretended to be asleep. The heavy, even steps stopped outside his door. The door squeaked as it opened slightly.
Benjamin tried to keep his breathing slow and deep, tried not to flinch. He felt Derkshaw's gaze on him. It burned.
'Go away, papa, go away....'
The door opened a bit more, and the tap of boots carried into the room.
It would be a good half hour before Derkshaw left, the blood on his hands and shirt not his own.
( 2:28 PM )   Man, am I grateful for mom. She just brought me the most wonderful little care packet of a bottle of ibuprofen and a Terry's Dark Chocolate Orange bar. *sniffles happily* Thank you, mommie!
Amy, Amy, Amy.... you have no idea how much stress is gone already. *heavy sigh* I can't thank you enough.
Spellleeeeeeerrrr, next weekend is go for coming over to my house to watch movies! You like freaky movies, I'll make you watch freaky ANIME movies! On the roster so far: Perfect Blue and X. Maybe I'll make a trip to Roger's Video and snag Devil Man or something. But I will get you hooked. I will. Your time will come (*sings* thy will be done!).
*laughing at BMB* Yeah, Mik, you dirty minded cutie! You think those nasty thoughts about Harley! *laughing*
Oiiii, Freckle-chan... you posted a nice list of couples you like. I think for fun, I'll do the same!
Cardcaptor Sakura Touya and Yukito - kawaii! KAWAII!!!! Sakura and Tomoyo - so sue me!
Oh My Goddess! Trobadour and Urd - they were cool! Too bad he's such a dork. Keiichi and Belldandy - well, DUH!
Magic Knight Rayearth Ascot and Umi - I'm a sucker for Ascot. What a little cutie! Clef and Presea - ditto that, 'cause Clef is so cute and so short!
Dragon Half Mink and Lufa - not likely, I know, but still.
Bakuretsu Hunter Tira and Carrot - feh on Chocolate. She's not half as cool as Tira. Marron and Gateau - I don' like Gateau too much, but Marron is so hot. *_*
Ranma 1/2 Ranma and Shampoo - not likely, either, but I think Mousse is too wussy for her. I've always been a Ranma/Shampoo 'shipper.
Shamanic Princess Kagetsu and Tiara - it's a sad relationship... Sarah and Tiara - um, don't ask.
Slayers Lina and Gourry - he's so funny around her... ^__^
Sailor Moon Usagi and anyone but Mamoru! T_T; Chibi Usagi and Pelulu [Perelu, Perele] - *heehee* Cute fae-ish boy with white hair!
Neon Genesis Evangelion Shinji and Asuka - I think she really does like him. She just doesn't know how to show it. Misato and Koji - funny funny! She's a player, tho.
RPing kyara [involving mine] Cam and Mark - for obvious reasons. Rukura, Lian, and Gabby - yes, a yaoi threesome. They're all so cute. Sola [Soren] and Sybandial - so innocent and sweet. ^_^ Jyrian and Quoik - I don't talk about these two much, but their relationship is really cute. Jesse and Rach - how can I not like this? He's cute, she's cute (haha, Rach!) Lucas and Lila - I liked this possibility... too bad she's dead and we won't find out what woulda' happened. Lucas and Carter - this is a slightly more demented relationship. Cadence and Lexiel - a more intellectual relationship... even if Lexiel is kinda big on sex for sick reasons. ^_^; Cadence3 and Cam - I'm a sick, sick girl. Lucifer and Setsuko - if we get Setsuko back, then we can resume this. They're cute too. ^_^
Other Stories Kiih and Ro (from Dora's "Three O'Clock") - I don't really know why... these two just kinda hit it off in my mind. Len and Yuri (see above) - ditto the above again.
Book Series Ron and Hermione - need I explain? Sirius and Remus - again, need I explain? Lestat and Louis (Anne Rice's VC books) - strange but yummy relationship Lestat and David - intellectual and alluring. Marius and Amadeo - Stokholm syndrome. Cal and Meg (A Wrinkle in Time) - KAWAII!
That's that done. ^__^;
( 10:41 PM )   Sap warning ahead!
I have the best best friends in the whole world! My best friends are Speller and Amy!
Speller, who I know I don't mention on here too much (I'm sorry! ;_;), is the smartest person I know. She's also one of the most talented writers, too. How many people can write a whole novel before/during high school? Aside from Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, not many. And her poetry kicks ass! She has a lot of it published. She can also draw better realistic stuff than I can, which makes me mondo jealous. It's not fair, I tell you! And she must learn to watch out for Hannibal. Beware him. Speller likes pudding. And pears. Damn those pears.
Amy and I have been friends since 7th grade, when she was the "new kid". We actually first met in drama class. She ran over a possum on her way to work. Yeeeah! She, too, is an amazing writer. It's not FAIR! She came runner up in the story writing contest a while back. I was proud. And I SCREEEEEEAMED the loudest when she won the Todd Bayless award. I live to embarrass.... ^_~
I am grateful to have such good friends. I love them. This concludes the sap. ^___^;
( 9:04 PM )   Querida, you're cooler than Simon and Milo! (Personally, Milo's a tad too butch for my liking, but Simon is a cute little brit guy with the sweetest little sentiments!) ....anyway.... yes, you have a neck. I hope. ^_~
And to complete the phrase you know you have problems when...you obsess over a cartoon with no neck, no nose, and huge eyes!
( 7:29 AM )   Morning blog!
I watched Perfect Blue last night. It downright scared me! Seeing Hannibal didn't scare me, seeing the Rage; Carrie 2 didn't scare me.... but Perfect Blue DID. The "real Mima" (the one who's forever in the Cham costume) is SCARY!!! And the Mimaniac is pretty scary too. o_O Iffen you haven't seen this movie, get it. Especially if you like stuff like Neon Genesis Evangelion, X, or Serial Experiments Lain. I warn you, there's nudity, a rape scene, and a lot of gore. This movie freaked me out more than Eva did.
In other news... going to the art store tomorrow!!! And, I'm also skipping 5th period today. Maybe even 3rd, 'cause I'm stuck doing NOTHING all class anyway. -_-;
Hopefully they have the 10x15 paper I want... 'cause, you know, that being the traditional dimensions for comic drawing. Y'all knew that, right? *gives you a loooooook*
And I best be off to get ready... JA!
( 7:02 PM )   Blogger hates me.
OH! OH! EVERYONE GO READ TODAY'S BMB!!! CY AND SKIDS FOREVERRRRR!!!!
I'm having a hell of a lucky streak this week. Today, in the mail, I got an AUTOGRAPHED Simon and Milo picture, FRAMED!!! *swoons*
And I got Perfect Blue!!!!
( 5:14 PM )   Gonna go see Hannibal with Mike and Chris in about half an hour! ^__^       ( 7:21 AM )   Morning Blog!
Last night, began a really angsty RP with Cam and Mark (well, it was angsty on Cam's end). Now, I only just realized that I think up really weird stuff that follow pretty much all the major time/space/reality laws. And all on a whim and at random. It's strange. You know you study this stuff too much when.... Yep, it's not every day when I come up with plots like that puppy. Using the imprints left in the reality weave to reconstruct a Mark.... that's some strange stuff (but it actually makes sense, which is what throws me). Huh.
I feel guilty... I got mad at Amy last night. She was being a little more depressing than usual, and I just couldn't stand it. I'm sick and stressed and I don't need to boost her ego all the time.
I've had this urge for the past couple of days to draw Cam shaking Lucas by the shoulders and looking very upset while Lucas looks blank. I don't really know why.... the caption for it has been running through my head, as it is this: "What am I to you?!" Trippiness.
Well, being the idiot I am, I didn't do my civics homework. My group is gonna love me for that.... then again, they're sticking me with the job of reading the presentation on Spain because I'm the only one that knows how to speak some Spanish. *sweatdrops*
I'm having urges to draw the weirdest things.... I hate it when Cam angsts at me from his little spot in my mind.
Meg's Art Corner A really weird little picture of c3 and a Chibi Cam. C3 is drawn more in my gothic anime style than my normal one. Turned out quite well! ^_^
Over and out!
( 7:16 PM )   Neeee, imouto! If you're not gonna be doing Yunga Neko for a while, you should get a guest artist to do, like, weekly panels just until you can work on it again. *volunteers*       ( 7:14 AM )   Morning blog time again, kids!
I'm feeling okay this morning, so school for me. *sigh* School is so boring. Lunch is okay, mind you, because I have (as Speller said) "so many male bitches that work" for me. ^__^
I've been doing a lot of drawing since I got those pens. It's scary... can't wait to get more! ^__^ I also gotta get me some 10 X 15 paper, 'cause that's the standard comic size. I don't feel up to fighting with printers because the size ratio on 8.5 X 11 is uneven. Screw it. I'll just redo it all on standards.
I'm having the straaangest breakfast. Pork chops. Don't ask me, it was the only thing I could find...
Song of the moment: "Cruel Angel's Thesis (Harmonia Remix)" from Evangelion. *slobbers* I forgot what a COOL remix this is!!!
Meg's Art Corner Ben Carter, looking cute and vaguely distant! (Hey, he's a Blink fan, too!) Mark makes a scarilly cute girl. o_O Appearently, so does Lucas. Onna-Cam makes me think of Rally from Gunsmith Cats for some reason.... How cliché.
Over and out!
( 5:30 PM )   Nah nah naaaah! Meg has Sympatico access!!
Anyway, Meg also got herself some niiiiice grey prismacolor pens yesterday! Meg drew some pretty pretty pictures with them, too! Meg is happy, so she is!
Meg's Art Corner With her new prismacolors in hand, Meg is proud to present her latest creations! Angelique, the evil evil bitchy whore of a Demon from AH. She's pretty, tho. ^_^; "Legacy of the Messiah" cast shot; Rukura, Lucifer, and Pandora as kids! Carter and Lucas, a strange relationship these doods have. Carter looks somewhat like Cam, doesn't he? Quoik, Meg's only fae kyara!!
( 2:25 PM )   Tiredtiredtiredtired....
At the Office Place, they have a set of 24 prismacolor markers for about 40 bucks. I WANT THEM, but mom says "no, I don't have that kind of money right now". So, what we're gonna do, is I'm gonna drag her to Curry's Art Supplies store in a few hours and see how much THEY'RE selling them for.... maybe she'll buckle and take me back to the Office Place. ^_~
I need grey markers...
...oh, note to all who talk to me at night online. I won't be on until really late 'cause the network will be down. Unless mom hooks us up with Sympatico tonight, I'll be on around 2am. *sniffles* I'm gonna be without my querida fix! *snifflesniffle*
( 8:34 PM )   Lack of bloggingness today, as you all may have noticed. Dunno why, I was home again....
song of the moment: "Under the Bridge" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I *heart* Flea.... what an AMAZING bass player. Too bad this song doesn't showcase him much. If you want good bass by the dood tho, "Californication" is an order.
*cheers* The restrictions to see Hannibal have been changed from R to AA! In other words, I can get in to see it! Heeey, Dan, Amy, Speller, anyone? Wanna come with? I warn y'all, tho, it's been said that this movie is grotesquely violent.
Tomorrow is gonna be a very busy day. I'm going into town with my mom and brother for most of the day, then it's home for a few hours (like, two), and to the mall where I shall meet with Quinn-chan and Chris to go for our ritual Riot Ink business meeting. Then I shall return from the depths of Quinn's anime/transformers shrine of a home and return to my humble lair around midnight. Then I'll prolly talk to my baaaaybeeeeee (aka: querida) for the remainder of the dark hours of the evening.
Oh! Celeb Jeopardy! Two of my faaaaavourite doods were on there! Seth Green from various shows such as Buffy, and Steven from the Barenaked Ladies! DOOD! And Seth has his hair buzzed in sooooo damn short that he looks bald. 0_o
Kick ass! 3 Doors Down are playing at the Warehouse on March 11, and tickets are only $27... man, I wanna GOOOOO!!!
( 12:37 PM )   For Whom the Bell Tolls by Metallica Make his fight on the hill in the early day Constant chill deep inside Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey On the fight, for they are right, yes, by who's to say? For a hill men would kill, why? They do not know Suffered wounds test there their pride Men of five, still alive through the raging glow Gone insane from the pain that they surely know
For whom the bell tolls Time marches on For whom the bell tolls
Take a look to the sky just before you die It is the last time you will Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery He hears the silence so loud Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be Now the will see what will be, blinded eyes to see
For whom the bell tolls Time marches on For whom the bell tolls
( 12:17 PM )   Okay, today's guest BMB is quite good. ^__^
*points out the window* Heehee, a mini-plow!! *giggles*
song of the moment: "Sunny Came Home" by Shawn Colvin (so sue me, I like this song... ).
( 12:08 PM )   Why is it on days that it's not supposed to snow, it snows the most? We've gotten about 13 cm since last night and it's still coming down... -_-;
song of the moment: "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Metallica. Heeheehee....makes me think of AH. I shall post the lyrics on here later.
( 7:42 AM )   The Wheel of Excitement on Neopets loves me... I just won another 10 000 np. O_O       ( 7:35 AM )   Morning blog!
Here I am, killing time while I wait for either mom to call me or for me to call mom. Stupid morons in Wal-Mart, you call the main office and ask to be patched through to Electronics, and they put you on hold and hang up on you. Figures, it was mom's boss that just did that to me. Moron.
I got slim to no sleep last night due to sickness. Man, do I hurt... I feel like my guts are being put into a dryer's spin cycle constantly. And after drinking 3 L of cranberry juice, I'm not too good right now. I'm kinda waiting for mom to call so I can ask her what to do... I dunno if I should stay home or go to school. I bet I'm missing a fair bit. Well, there's always Fiona and Harpreet to ask. ^_^;;
I bet Dan's gonna kill me if I'm off another day. Mike's prolly beaten him up a few times by now without me there.
*drums her fingers* Mom, I asked you to phone me... you've got 10 minutes, and then I phone YOU....and hope I don't get hung up on...
Oh! BmB's on it's guest week. Y'know, with guest artists doing the panels. I'm not liking it too much. Yesterday's was a tad too blunt, with not enough joke 'ahind it. Maybe next time, I'll try for a guest spot on there. I'd be sure to do something involving Cy and Skids. I love Cy and Skids. ^__^
I'm running very low on straight kyara. Querida manages to turn them all gay! *shakes her head* Bennett, Lucas, Rukura, Sy.... who next? *turns to Tiirak* Dood, you're not gay are you? Tiirak: No way. Meg: You sure?? Tiirak: Yes, I'm sure. Meg: *looks suspicious*
Mommie bought me the Silence of the Lambs yesterday. It's such a good movie, and all the better if you've read the book. The casting for the movie is very good, too... Jodie Foster makes such a cute Clarice Starling. It really pisses me off that Julianne Moore is playing Clarice in Hannibal (which comes out tomorrow, check your local listings ^_~). She is SO not Starling material. But as long as Sir Anthony Hopkins is still good ol' Hannibal Lecter the Cannibal, I'll watch it.
*calls Mom* Wow, I got through....!!! Maybe that's because I cheated and used the associates-only code. How would I know THAT? 9.9
Looks like I get to stay home again today... *feh* Boredom and a half. Amy, if you're home, feel free to phone me or something.
Over and out!
( 10:50 PM )   Yeeeeeeeee! Querida can read my mind and alter my dreamstate!!!!
No one should have to drink 2 litres of cranberry juice in 5 hours. x_X
( 9:21 AM )   Morning blog!
I'm home sick! And it's only the 4th day of semester 2. Seems that whatever the hell was wrong with me before is wrong with me again... pain hurts, you know. T_T;
I've not much to say today... doesn't that suck when you wanna say something but you're outta' stuff to say?
OH!!! GOOD NEWS! AH Issue one is officially coming along WELL! Looks like I won't have to go to version 16... ^___^
( 9:32 PM )   Rukura and Lian... I got bored and messed around with PC Paintbrush...       ( 6:41 PM )   *looking from her cat CC to her mug of hot chocolate* CC is staring at the marshmellows like they're evil..... *inches away*       ( 6:29 PM )   The Angel Hunter church stainglass window...?       ( 4:00 PM )   Okay, I know.... I didn't blog this morning. I was running mighty late. I had to hop fences to get to school. ^_^;;;
What did I do today? Not much. I got yelled at three times and nearly booted out of my history class (why? for drawing! >.<;;), and I nearly fell asleep in comm tech. Thankfully, Mr. Dewitte let us out early.
The layouts for pages 1-4 of AH have been redone. This is version 15... and I'm LIKING it! FINALLY!
Heeey, imouto! Mercutio was the best kyara in that play. I also liked Benvolio, he was cool too (my once-best-friend Brittany took to calling me 'Volio 'cause I liked him so much). Mercutio, tho, had one hell of an attitude, and he was interesting and VERY funny. Too bad he had to die... I'm glad you liked the little snippet. Allow me to post another, just for you! ^__^ This is another bit I quite like.
Benjamin found it facinating to watch him, he was so calm and so... well, he was the very picture of freedom as far as he was concerned. Yes, that was it. Benjamin admired Lokistrant's blasé attitude towards life. Envy, almost.
When one night, Lokistrant was late on his ritual visits to the plantation, Benjamin worried. Could he have been hurt?.... no. This was Lokistrant. He didn't GET hurt. But maybe he just didn't want to see him anymore?
Abandonment. A reoccurring issue. His throat felt dry suddenly. He curled up on his bed, blond hair over his eyes, and wished for morning, when he KNEW that Lokistrant would not come. No second guessing when daylight was involved.
Minutes passed. And quite unexpectedly, Lokistrant was there, startling the boy. Leaning against the far wall, watching quietly, decked out in his usual dark reds and silvers. Benjamin sat up. "How long have you been there? You scared me!"
Lokistrant smiled his usual enigmatic smile, the impression of fangs something no longer unexpected. "Carter, deepest apologies for being so late." The smile was kind, but the voice was final, the tone stating that there was to be no questions asked. Lokistrant held out his hand to the boy. "Care to come with me into town for a while?"
( 7:45 AM )   Morning Blog, part II
Oh! I saw Cast Away over the weekend! It's SO good! Tom Hanks is a surprisingly good actor... I mean, who else can get away with talking to a volleyball so convincingly? And we all know that Amy likes to imagine him naked (Tom, not the volleyball). You should all go see it! NOW!!!! That's an order!
Heehee, now a little quote for fun from a story I am going to re-write.
Benjamin stared across the table at the stranger, worried. The man seemed in his twenties, if that, and had long brown hair that spilled over his shoulders and down his back. His eyes were an unnatural ruby red, and they were very intelligent eyes. Benjamin had learned early in life to be cautious, especially with the smarter ones.
The man crossed his hands on the table in front of him, casual. "Benjamin Carter, correct?"
Benjamin could dect a vague, though unrecognizable, accent. "Yes sir."
"You're fifteen?"
"Yes sir."
"Such a shame to see someone so young forced into... what you're familiar with."
Benjamin sunk down in his chair. "Why are you here? Why did you pull me away from papa?"
To match Benjamin's withdraw from the table, the man leaned forward, and smiled. Benjamin could have sworn he saw fangs. "You remind me of someone."
( 7:22 AM )   Morning blog!
Man, do I feel WEIRD this morning. I'm not sure why, exactly, but I just feel weird. I dunno. I think a certain spiritie dood slept in my bed with me last night.... *points at Bennett* 'Cause I actually slept.
Last night, during a particularly good RP, my ISP died and wouldn't let me back on. I wasn't happy. It was getting SO good, too... *pouts*
I'm so quickly out of things to say.... ^____^;;
O'er an' out!
( 11:17 AM )   Meg's random contemplations I'm considering re-writing Carter's story, which ties in with a fair bit of Lucas' story. Been considering it for a while... Carter's got some serious problems, and he's fun to write because he's so screwed up. He's got a really weird past. His dad was SUCH a jerk.... and up until becoming a vampire, Carter was good little Bennie; never had the nerve to fight his father. *ponders* It's an interesting story. Maybe I'll start on it again after I get home from seeing Cast Away....       ( 10:56 PM )   Okay, people, special announcement!!!!!!! Congrats to Bennett and niichan on the birth of their daughter, Candra Arael Bennett! ^___^       ( 3:32 PM )   Woohoo! I got switched from Casement's class to Apostolou's class! Hooray!!! And I am already SO ahead of all the people in my comm tech class. I seem to be the only one who knows how to use Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Publisher, and Premier, as well as Quark and a few other programs. Damn, am I ahead. *_*       ( 7:36 AM )   Morning blog!
Wow, I only slept 3 hours and I feel okay.... *falls out of her chair laughing at today's BmB* Cy and Skids are a riot! I hope they do turn out as a couple! *laughing*
New semester starts today. I'm not too happy about this, as I have history and math this semester, and history is my homeroom class. With Mr. Casement. *cries* NOOOO!!! If I get called by my last name ONCE in his class, I'm gonna commit suicide (okay, not really).
My room is now a nice shrine of large wall hangings. On the walls around my bed, I have three Card Captor Sakura wallscrolls (two anime, one manga), and one kick-ASS Prozzak Saturday People promo poster. Thank you, John. *smilesmilesmile*
On Neopets, I am neopoor. Looks like my pets are gonna be eating at the soup kitchen a lot. -_-;
Meg's Art Corner! I know, I've not done much in the way of art lately. You know what's weird? I tend to draw more in school than at home. I think it's because I'm around so many people. Cam's SD Panther form, doodled in MS Paint. I was bored, okay? And it DID turn out cute. Part of my MS Paint family portrait. I still have to finish the pictures for John and Dani, and the kids too if I have enough willpower after screwing around with the stupid program afterwards.
Song of the moment: "When Doves Cry (Fatboy Slim remix) by Depeche Mode and Prince. I love this... don't ask me why. ^_^;
Quote of the moment: "Listen sister, if I want your opinion, I'll BEAT it out of you!" -- Elvira, Mistress of the Dark
Okay, that's it for now. Ja matta ne! *disappears in purple smoke*
( 12:38 PM )   Song of the moment: "Misere by Andrea Bocelli and John Miles. I have a very....expansive taste in music. So sue me. *sings along*       ( 11:45 AM )   To Chris-kun: Dooood, I don't hate you, and I'm not mad at you..... jus' chill, man. S'your blog, you can say what's on your mind...
I got my pretty pretty new cladagh ring in the mail yesterday! *kisses said ring* Mi querida gave it to me!! Isn't that sweet? ^__^
I have come to the conclusion that Cam would make a really scary bad guy. Like, not c3... but if CAM were bad. He'd be scary. I mean, he's already got some issues with where his loyalty lies... and he's pretty much infinite in power. Not to mention, after being killed about 200 times, I think he knows the painful ways to kill people. Wonder if niichan (currently my neechan) sees this? Well, at least now he knows about Cam's possibilities for becoming nothing more than a lethal weapon.
I have three neopets! My blue wocky named Cadence, my green shoyru named Lokistrant, and my yellow eyrie Poyania! ^__^

He's Simon McKinnley's oldest child, and he's kinda angsty and depressive. Art done in paintchat and added some snow in Photoshop.
