barbecued

I... I just had this sudden image of Jared trying to cheer up a sullen Jensen.
Where Jared says, "ORANGE MOCHA FRAPPUCCINOS!11" and then Jensen gives in with a bashful smile.

and: Dean = Nightwing
y/n ?
how can someone with a y-chromosome be SO CURVY

also: Oh man, the SPN 2.09 spoilers totally make me think of that one Fushigi Yuugi episode with Mitsukake and doomed Miaka. Which automatically leads to "DEAN" "SAMMY" "DEAN" "SAMMY", etc. but dean's a better boyfriend than tamahome.

wtf: omgwtf is this, surprise!Jared.

The idea amuses me and yet disturbs me at the same time. o_O;;;


In other news: waaaaaaaah, i want more gungrave~~~

Like Chichiri, you will lose your eye for
Friendship. Keep trying to save your friends'
lives until an errant tree branch stabs that
eye right out. You can tell people whatever you
want -- the truth will come out in the OAV.


How Will You Lose YOUR Eye?

For some reason, I cracked up when I saw that pic. ^^;;
Oh well, at least this means the eye will be sacrificed for Friendship! Then I get all angsty and hide it all behind a smiley facade. Then it all comes back to bite me in the ass. While "Mizu Kagami" plays in the background.

( Random X Subaru thing )

Uh oh, it's getting to the point where all I'm updating with is quizzes.

added: Apparently Pirates of the Caribbean will be coming out in Japan in August.
*waits for more PotC japanese fanart*

Added again: Read this.

Waaaaah, Sei-cha~n!!!! Sei-chan sei-chan sei-chan sei-chan sei-chan sei-chan sei-chan!! T______T

Right, ignore the randomness that is the last post if you will. ^_^
......I should get to those Get Backers comments. (in list form again because steak = lazy)

re: GB eps. 16-27, in no particular order ^^

- Omigod, there are feathers all around MakubeX. He's turned into Kamui. o_o Then I guess Sakura's Nataku and Ginji's Sorata. XD

- Why does Ginji not wear sexy clothes anymore? I mean, he's freakin' nosebleed-inducing in those flashbacks wearing that blue outfit.

- Akabane and his Bloody Sword must be worshipped. ^__________^

- *Steak watches ep. 17*
Steak: Yay! Ginji and Ban are finally reunited after several nervewracking episodes!
*Ginji glomps Ban and proceeds to pick him up and whirl him around in the air*
Steak: ......................... *dies*

- Fudo's "twitching desire" to kill Ban disturbs me to no end (FudoxBan japanese fanart doesn't help either). Actually, Fudo was cool at first (i like his character design), but now he's just annoying with his whole "Midouuu~!!" mantra. Just kill him already, Ban! Hopefully, I think Shido did.

- *Steak watches part where they all split up and go into the numbered doors*
BAN: Ginji.
GINJI: huh?
BAN: If it gets really dangerous, call me. Okay?
GINJI: It's fine! You're worrying too much, Ban-chan!
BAN: Ginji... *stares for long moment*
GINJI: *stares back* ...It's okay, Ban-chan. We're the Get Backers, after all!
*both proceed to share a smiley Moment complete with sparkly eyes and hair wafting in the nonexistent breeze while the music swells*
Steak: ...................... *dies again* (i'm telling you, Ban was making lovey-dovey googly eyes at Ginji there!!)

- It amuses me that all during his death match against Fudo, all Ban could think about was how something was wrong with Ginji (ginji-sense tingling!) and how he must somehow end this match so he can get to Ginji. ^_^

- Young Ban is the cutest dork EVER~! XD

- Chibi Ginji! Doing! The! FANDANCE! XDDDD "I-ki-te-i-ru~!!"

- Ban = Nosebleed. Dude, seriously, who's looking at angst!Ginji? *stares more at Ban* But FEAR the halter top.

- Poor Ren. ;______;

- Emishi is a freak but such an endearing freak. So is Juubei. XD "poroporoporo...? no.. poroperopero.... peron?" Only Koyasu could pull that off.

- DUDE!! Kadsuki looks more like a woman than Nuriko does! o_o

- Natsumi is a fiend at ping pong. Be afraid.

- Ban in hotsprings wearing a shower cap = Good XDD Ginji's abs = Better *droooool*

- I hope Akabane later kills that annoying high school girl, though it's amusing that everyone took out their anger over her on some random thugs. XD


Okay, this is getting long so I'll end it here. ^^;
Also note that the new opening and ending are the best things EVER. *fangirl squealing ensues*


added: I finally can make a coherent response regarding that Animage pic of Ban & Ginji. So, then, yeah, good for me. >_>
It seriously hurts my brain. It's not the positioning that's causing this, it's the fact that it's Ban and Ginji. Hell, if it were Momo and Ryoma, I'd be fine, but not Ban and Ginji. I really don't think of Ban and Ginji like that and I don't want to start. Ban and Ginji are just too shounen, they're from a series that has girls with big boobs and who wear skimpy clothes. Ban gropes Hevn (tho he always gets punched) and at one point, has girls eat pocky out of his mouth! They're not from a series like Yami no Matsuei or Fake.
I certainly think of them as a couple but more in a lovey-dovey, warm-fuzzy, practically-soulmates way. They're not so much physically slashy as emotionally slashy, what with their little reunion in ep. 17 and Ban letting himself get run through by Akabane's sword so that Ginji will come back to his senses (ep. 22). Get Backers isn't slashy in general, it's still a shounen series, but when it IS slashy, it's some moment showing how absolutely devoted and dependent Ban and Ginji are to each other.
It's like that pic is too much. Maybe it's "moving too fast"? XD

Miaka: "I'm so sorry, Tamahome!"
Tama: "What?"
M: "He agreed to tell you about the shinzaho, but what he wanted in return...! He must've done this! And done that! And, ohm'god, done the other thing!! (He made you his beeyatch!!)"
T: "They didn't do anything!!"
M: "Oh, then you asked them to?"
T: "No! No! NO! (and watch the language will ya?)"

.............."beeyatch"? O_O
scary results when manga translators take liberties w/ the script. ._.

I actually seriously stepped out of the PoT fandom today.
Yup, I went and checked out some Get Backers fans and their opinions. And it made me realize something: I'm the kind of fangirl that's apparently hated. o_o
Most of these people's views on slash in GB were like "it's okay and even super-cute as long as it's really there and there's at least SOME het stuff". Non-canon stuff and out-of-characterness is the absolute worst, and subtle slash fic is preferred for a shounen series like GB. Fangirls who pair two characters just for the sole reason that they're male and write fanfics about them are the bane of any fandom's existence.
Then I thought, that's almost exactly what the PoT fandom is like. Insane pairings like InuixFuji or SengokuxAkutsu are supported along with the more obvious ones like OishixEiji and InuixKaidoh. PoT fans freak over yaoi hints and describe the slash as one of the series' main points. To me, the reason why it's not at all annoying is that we don't take things too seriously. I like the idea of SengokuxMizuki but I don't actually think it'll happen or force it on others. It's just very amusing to consider. It's hard to pull off an insane pairing in GB tho, since the guys are still so testosterone-y :P. But getting incredibly fangirly and squealy like this over the slash in GB isn't a harbinger of doom, right? It's okay to be obsessed over how cute and slashy Ban and Ginji are. It's all good as long as the fanfics are of quality :P.

Going thru some of their livejournal entries, I also found nearly everyone was bowled over by how slashy Ban and Ginji were in a series that also has scantily-clad girls with big boobs. When I watched Get Backers, eps. 1-4, I barely noticed the slash. All I remember noting is Ginji calling Ban "Ban-chan". (mind you, I was still a fan of GB despite the small slash :P) I didn't even think about them as a real couple until I saw the new opening and ending sequences in which case I was bowled over too ^^;. I wonder if this is because I'm used to super-service slash like in PoT so compared to that, GB isn't all that obviously slashy. While others who aren't used to girly shounen are shocked at say, how close Kadsuki and Jubei are (not shocked in a bad way, just terribly surprised such a couple would be in a shounen series), I was just amused when I found out. Get Backers is probably their first girly-type shounen (<-- new genre nowadays ^^;) series. How close Ginji and Ban-chan are can be pretty surprising but it's not much compared to say, OishixEiji of Prince of Tennis. ^^;;

Comparing Get Backers to Prince of Tennis is strange though. Both are cheesy and melodramatic shounen series that don't take themselves too seriously but there's some profound difference I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe it's cause GB actually has fanboy service while PoT has practically nil. In fact, females are almost shone in a bad light in PoT, while the women of GB are actually cool. GB also has almost as much chibiness as Fushigi Yuugi while all the chibiness in PoT was concentrated in ep. 64. Or maybe GB is just more aesthetically pleasing. ^^; GB tho at least has plot and story arcs; PoT has.... tournements and filler eps (albeit insanely fun filler eps).

Sigh, maybe there are just cynical fangirls out there who can't take idiot fangirls who write bad fanfic invading the fandom. Sure those sort of fangirls are annoying but I just ignore them. The Fushigi Yuugi fandom has some pretty irritating stuff (TasukixChichiri >_>) but I just go past those and head for what I do like (KoujixTasuki! ^^).

And about today's title...... sounds like a crossover doesn't it? (Ep. 27 alternate ending: Ban and Ginji must get back Karupin!) Actually wouldn't a Gravi/GB crossover be amusing? Against Tohma's advice, Ryuichi calls the Get Backers to find lost Kumagorou~!! ........right, i'll stop now.

Feel free to comment, someone, Please! I'd like to know if I'm wrong on some points or not. ^^;

I couldn't take the 3 hours of nonstop PoT music on my winamp anymore so I finally changed it all to something else. Mostly miscellaneous songs like Peony Pink, Yakusoku (fuuma version), and Gravity.

And... Digimon and Fushigi Yuugi.
Yep, I've got Izzy's two image songs, Lee, Takato, Kouichi, Taichi's 02 one, Yama's 02 one, Ken, Daisuke, Takeru, and the Daisuke/V-mon duet playing. ^^;; Forgot how good they are and how so very PoT-like too. (no wonder I like the PoT songs so much) Is it me or does Yama's first song SO not fit him and sound like it's on crack? >_>
Also got Tasuki's Do=Be song, Nuriko's flirting song, and Chichiri's NO DAAA song playing.
Heh, it got mentioned on a french FY site that Do=Be ga Yatte Kuru sounds like a strip tease song. XD Oh it does~. You can so see Tasuki stripping as he sings. :D~ (well, if you ignore the lyrics)

Ahem, anyway, I also went on a bit of a FY binge today because of this. And was reminded again of how insane Watase Yuu-sensei is and how much of a NakagoxTamahome fan she is. XDD

There was a point to all of this..... Oh yeah, this is one of the stages of PoT withdrawal: you actually start to ignore it~!!! O_O WAAAGH!!

Waagh! Derek Stephen Prince is in Spirited Away!! O_o It's the Digimon Kaizer! Ken-chan! Kenshin in the dub!! Miaka's older brother! And other assorted voices.
Gaaah, the guy's everywhere. O_o

Added: How interesting. Derek Stephen Prince not only played various digimon (demidevimon, veemon) and Mondo in Moncolle Knights, he also was the Australian kid (named Derek ^^;) on the Digimon World Tour and ....Piedmon. o_o;
