This journal is semi-friends only.
All fandom posts worth mentioning are not locked, but my pathetic and trivial rambling that doesn't involve fandom is.
If you want me to add you...
- Comment this post explaining why you want to be my friend. (It's always nice hearing that people like you)
- We MUST share a least one common interest with each other.
- You must not be ridiculously closed-minded. Being opinionated is one thing; being prejudiced is another.
- You must be trustworthy and not do anything to provoke my paranoia.
- You must be a slightly good person at heart, despite any evil, cold and despicable appearance you may have.
If you want to de-friend me at anytime, please feel free do so and I will not be offended in the slightest. I understand that my rambling may also be a death-sentence for some. <3

As most of you would have known by now… I’ve dropped Kaname. I’m sorry, guys… But he was just too much to deal with, and my muse for him kinda died. I’m a bit disappointed in myself, but I guess it can’t be helped. I’ve left a full explanation for it on the ‘Academy Announcements’ section of Kurosu Academy, if you want to know more. Oh well, at least I can concentrate on being a better mod now. ^^;;
But I’m still writing that giftfic, Anachi! Promise! It’s just moving very slowly...
ANYWAY. I’m extremely pissed off at the moment about something completely unrelated. And I feel so immature for doing so. T-T
Changing the subject though… It’s about time that I actually did this meme. I only included those I know well, so please don’t be offended if I don’t include you. I consider everyone on my f-list a friend, and if you aren’t in the following, it just means that I need and want to get to know you more! =D
Fandom meme time! Stolen from
The reason for this overly long post? Cram school wasn’t on today. I turned up at normal time… But no one was there. Turns out that I have a free day
OH, OH! Also… You guys have got to see this.

WARNING - Spoilers for Fruits Basket chapter 101, 132 and 136. You have been warned.

Still have to go in school for this bloody pantomine thing though. Which equals boredom. I think I'm just gonna skip it, everyone else is and there is just no point in coming in for a couple of hours of no lessons and just coming home again. >_>
Anyway, I have a few great plot bunnies in my head for my
BTW - You know what would be the greatest christmas present ever...? If someone can somehow tell me how to put a header on my layout. I made a Shikito header and I tried using the layouts from
...And also - I cannot believe I haven't posted my Shikito fanmix yet. I have no idea why... I mean, I had all the explanations done and everything uploaded and ready to go in September. Other things have been distracting me, I guess. I'll definitely post it up before next week though, I think.

The result shocked me so much that I just have to show everyone - I took this quiz three times, with slightly different answers, trying to be as honest as I could... And I still got it.

Anyway, to the point... I saw some of you guys having fun with this cute meme thing, so I wanted to do it as well.
Meme hereby considered stolen from
"One True Pairing" ship: ShigurexAkito (Fruits Basket). Of course.
"One True Threesome" ship: Errr... I don't really support threesomes... But for the sake of it, I'll say ShigurexAkitoxKureno (Fruits Basket). Because that's the first thing that popped into my head.
"Canon" ship: KanamexYuuki (Vampire Knight). Because it is practically canon now.
"Not quite canon but should be" ship: TokagexShira (Fairy Cube). Me loves them! <3
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" ship: ZeroxYuuki (Vampire Knight). Probably will happen... But I'm in denial. XP
"You are one sick bastard" ship: TowerxJustice (Godchild). I think I'm the only one who supports this. I can't find any fanfiction or anything relating to it... But they would be SUCH a good couple, don't you think? I mean, they are my kind of pairing...
"I'm one sick bastard" ship: Surprisingly, I had to think long and hard on this. Most of my ships have sick bastards in them, but hardly any of them view themselves as one. XD Err... KassanovaxHaruhi...? (Ouran High School Host Club) Does that fit?
"I dabble a little" ship: I'm not quite sure what this means, so I'm going to interpret it as 'something I allow myself to support but I never do so in big chunks as I fear it may corrupt me'. Muraki/Tsuzuki (Descendants of Darkness/Yami no Matsuei). No comment.
"It's like a car crash" ship: I would say GiroroxNatsumi (Sgt. Frog/Keroro Gunso). Errrr... If Natsumi doesn't kill him before the crash, that is.
"Tickles my fancy but not sold quite yet" ship: YukixKyon (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya).
"Makes no canon sense but why the hell not" ship: KurenoxIsuzu (Fruits Basket). I actually tried to make this work once. Needless to say, I brutally butchered the characters.
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" ship: Kaname/Zero (Vampire Knight). Dear God, NO. That's just... Not right. *Shivers*
"When all is said and done" ship: Cain/Riff (Godchild). The ending still haunts me, you know.

Fandom-wise, I have a lot to catch up on. As all my fanfics and RPs were deleted in the terrible ’Ikabod Crash of October ‘07’, I really have to get cracking. ((Oh, woe is me! Why, BT, why must you be so terrible…? T-T )) As most of the Godchild fics I was working on were lost, I was so upset that I decided to drop my claim at
But good news! I’m getting much better at icon-making! I’m really proud of myself – I’ve improved so much since I began. I think I’m actually addicted… And as I seem to have made a high number of Shigure icons, I decided I wanted to do him for
((So I better post a resource post soon. If my icons are going public, then it will be unfair of me not to credit where it is due.))
Talking of icons – The one I’m using for this post took a loooooong time to do. It was a lot of trial and error, but I’m happy with the result though. It’s a bit dark, but it’s okay. YAY TokagexShira! Seriously, I love the way they interact with each other. After I finished Fairy Cube, one of the first things I wanted to do was make an icon of those two. <3
((*Hasn’t been dying to use that icon since its creation*))
Anyway, I hope everyone’s okay! I missed you guys a lot, you know.

ANYWAY-! I finally found the smudge tool on my Photoshop! And I decided to test it out a bit... So I coloured in Oscar from The Cain Saga/Godchild.
So what do you think? Anachi, what's your opinion? ((If you see this, that is)) =D

Okay, so I ordered Fruits Basket 17 at my local Waterstone's like a month ago.
WHERE IS IT?
Honestly, where is it? I know that they have to ship it from the US and everything ((Damn Tokyopop UK and their useless-ness)) but it should have been here by now! Godchild 6 came nearly two weeks ago, and I ordered that at the same time.
But still, sticking true to my Kyon icon I will stay calm. I would just prefer to get my Furuba volume before summer is over. Which is in 3 days.
There's no hope is there....? T-T
To those with Fruits Basket Volume 17 in their possession - Please tell me that Tokyopop have translated the Shikito-ness properly...? It is still 'a definite truth' or is it something else? Please tell me it's 'a definite truth' and not some horrible translation... T-T
- BTW, I made the icon myself! Isn't it cool? XD
I saw loads of users with these funny quote icons, so I decided to make one myself.
Still, it doesn't fill the void of the missing Furuba volume! T-T

If you had asked me a couple of weeks ago if I believed in God, then I would have given you an agnostic/bordering on atheist reply.
However, due to present events... I have seen the light and finally found God - All thanks to
Honestly, I better be careful otherwise I might have a new obsession on my hands.
I love it - It's so original and unique... I'm still only on volume two of the novels but I've seen every episode of the anime at least three times. The dub is quite good, one of the best dubs I've seen actually - My only complaint is that I thought the dub Haruhi didn't put as much emotion into her lines as I wanted. I loved the voice but she just sounded really forced sometimes, you know?
BTW... Yuki Nagato = love. She's my favourite at the moment (with Itsuki not far behind) and she's a great character, I think. And I just have this irrepressible urge to hug her, ya know? She's so cute... I want a Yuki!! T-T
Now I don't really care much for Jpop at all, but when I heard 'SELECT' on Yuki's Character CD, I just had to put it on my mp3 (I have 'Yuki, Muon, Madobe Nite' as well, if anyone wants them). I looked up the translation and lyrics for the song and I never realised how deep and sorrowful it was. It really made me think about her character more. Just because her expression and tone are always emotionless, it doesn't mean that she doesn't hold any on the inside.
I saw an amazing AMV with this song on youtube and I have to show you guys. It's so beautiful... ((Link to video))
...And I don't know why, but that song sounds very much like Machi from Furuba. It just has that Machi feel to it.
Talking of character songs, WhatOcean did a brilliant fandub of Kyon's version of Hare Hare Yukai. I never bothered looking up the lyrics while watching the Japanese version so I was pleasantly surprised when I checked out the fandub. It's such a amazing translation... And so, so funny. XD
...Anyway, on to Shikito! I'm currently putting together a 20 track fanmix to pay my respects to my lovely OTP... I've already written out my explanations for all of them, I just need to download a few more songs and make a cover for it. I want it to look pretty, but my ((lack of)) graphical talent isn't allowing me to do that. T-T
Why am I making fanmix, you ask? For my muse. I still have terrible writer's block and I thought that making a Shikito fanmix would help with my Akito post for Furuba Tales, but it's not working... ToT

Summary: As Riff wakes up delirious from a nightmare he begins to wonder if there is something a lot darker at hand...
Warnings: Spoilers for volume 6. Attempted suicide. Not a happy fic.
Author's Notes: This was originally going to be nice little angsty drabble... But it soon evolved into something much darker. I've always imagined that the rose on Riff's chest was something Delilah gave him as a 'mark', rather than something he obtained in that fire. ((After all, if he had it all along then many Cain/Riff fics would be inaccurate...))This was also originally intended for
Disclaimer: If Godchild and all its characters were mine instead of Kaori Yuki's, then it would be even more angsty and violent than it already is. And believe me, you don't want that.

Seen the last episode in the series ('Last of the Timelords') of Doctor Who. Cannot believe the amount of twists and turns in that thing.
SUCH A GREAT FINALE!!!!!
((But Emixpearl is a sad... for obvious reasons. U_U))
GAH! I have to wait 'til CHRISTMAS to see the next episode. I can't take it. I need my DW fix soon, or I'll go through withdrawal symptoms. >_<

Okay... Seeing as I have friended several Furuba enthusiasts, I decided to put this LJ for good use.
I have heard from many, many people that Akito is a fan of Mogeta. Where does it mention this in the manga? Or is it in a fanbook somewhere?
Image links would be very helpful; so would translations as I can’t read a word of Japanese. XD
I badly want to see it! I mean really badly. I love Mogeta, and picturing Akito as a fan is too hilarious… XD
