I...don't actually think this is relevant to people on my flist (which is why I never posted it before), but I just spelled it out in comments over on a post in dreamwidth, so I figured I may as well bring it up here.

( Read only if you know both Stargate Atlantis and N. Novik's Temeraire series. Otherwise it won't make sense. XD )

Ain't it a small world? XD

- I...have five extra icons spaces? o_o How'd that happen?


- This song, I Know Things Now, should be one of Ada's theme songs. XD It's from Into the Woods and is sung from the perspective of Little Red Riding Hood. '...but he seemed so nice.' >D


- ( more Nightray rambling, I know, you're shocked )


- ( and I thought this was a metaphor, but maybe not? )


- one last thing. ( About the Alices... )

Also, because I just realized - today is my journal's first anniversary! :D

AND THIS IS MY 200TH POST.

:D :D :D

General PH reaction!

( a more general chapter reaction )

Partial reaction to Pandora Hearts 45~


( long post is long - it's also about Eliot and Leo )

Of the happy-making: new Pandora Hearts! And Holic! And also, I finally got caught up with FMA! Just in time, too. :D

I've got stuff to say about all 'em. (Mostly along the lines of, 'Madame Christmas? HAHAHA,' and 'I knew eeeeeet! And it explains his anger so much, ' and 'So I guess he's the shop's new bitch errand boy, eh?'

More later!

eta: Supreme Court Rolls Back Campaign Finance Restrictions, is what started the rage. This is a PDF of the full decision, with dissenting remarks by Judge Stevens.



I’m working on a (much longer) post about the US Supreme Court’s recent decision to abolish political campaign spending limitations for corporations, on the basis that the previous laws were violating the First Amendment (free speech) rights of said corporations. I think I’m going to title it:


( I have not hated the Supreme Court this much since the mid- to late 1800s, or, DO NOT GIVE ME THAT 'FREEDOM OF SPEECH' BULLSHIT; PIECES OF PAPER DO NOT HAVE VOCAL CORDS, I AM QUITE SURE. )

one of my oldest friends got married!

...I need to call her!

Dear fandom,

Please don't call it Ozbert.

Oh my gosh, I thought I made this post already, but apparently not.

Since we're heading into the New Year, I think it's a great time to make some lists. :D


( What I Plan To Do in the Near Future )

*twitch*

Yuletide?

...ohmygod Yuletide.

*runs away, far far away*

*in another galaxy, even*

*lightsabers would be great procrastination devices*

Meme!

If I came with a warning label, what would it say?

Also, just for curiosity - what books should I be reading right now? I've got Leviathan, Liar, and The Book Thief on my list so far.

Reason prompts are epically late - ...I forgot that Yuletide has a deadline and I needed to, you know, work on that. /o\ I fear that if I fall asleep with it unfinished, it will grow tentacles and devour me in the middle of the night. But at least it's getting interesting! One of the characters might start speaking in rhyme! (kill me now)

*ponders* You know, if I make 20+ posts from now til January, I'll have made 200 entries in this journal's first year. On the one hand, 200 is a nice, round, pleasing number. On the other hand, my flist might kill me if I spam them with entries like, "Today was a bit chilly. I decided to wear a t-shirt instead of a tank top. Ah, December. The End."

Decisions.

:D :D :D

1) I have snowflakes! ♥ ♥ ♥

Which is awesome, cuz those are probably the only snowflakes I'll get to see this year -- not much snow in south. XD


2) ahem. WHO DAT. 12-0, baby. <--doesn't even follow football, wtf.


3) ahahahahaha. Ha. Remember the whole 'why does Break look suspiciously like a fresco of the Virgin Mary' thing in the last chapter? Yeah, looks like that was done on purpose, according to Jun Mochizuki's blog. Also, I think she recommends people visit St Peter's Basilica at some point, but the translation's kinda funny.

(omg, I get that PH pulls from a quasi-Victorian age Europe, but why did she pick Break to draw in that pose? XD XD XD)


4) Drabbles! and drabbles that are not drabbles! They will be coming soon.


5) oh god, yuletide. And I just realized I lent out all of my relevant source material to a college friend. She lives in Houston. orz

( Seals and Symbols! There are...only three? )



I think that's all of them. Has anyone else in the manga used a symbol like these? If so, tell me and I'll add!

First off:







And now for something (not so) different -


DRABBLE MEME!
(because i need so much more practice *cries*)


1) Pick a fandom I know! There are a bunch of fandoms I know of that aren't in my interests, so if you're not sure, feel free to ask.
2) Pick at least one character!
3) Gimmie a prompt. It can be whatever you want: a word, a song, a picture, whatever floats your boat.
4) ???
5) Profit! (except this is fanfic and disclaimer disclaimer disclaimer, you know the drill XD)

To the Americans on my flist: I wish you a very happy turkey day, or, if you are in the unfortunate position of having to deal with annoying relatives, then I hope you have an amiable turkey day, at the very least. May you all feel comfortably fat. :D

quick reaction to PH chapter -

Oh, my god. My school (alma mater? i feel so old, orz) has this rivalry with this much bigger school Across The Way and lately it has risen to new heights after Those Other Students invaded our cafeteria/buffet style room thingy (which we call the OR). At a recent game there was a chant war between the two schools and it went something like this:

Other School: The OR is Ours, the OR is Ours.

My School: EAT YOUR OWN FOOD, EAT YOUR OWN FOOD.

orz



also- I'm a tag wrangler on AO3 for xxxHolic and I just volunteered for Pandora Hearts, though I'm still in the noob stage where I'm just sort of staring around at everything. AO3 is shiny. *_*

Quick post - does anyone know if we ever got a clearer version of FWR's little harem, other than the one in the first chapter? Something just occurred to me and I wanna check it out, but that first panel isn't detailed enough...


eta: okay, the reason I wanted a clearer look at those girls was to see if maybe they corresponded to the Clients that have appeared in Holic. Not that they are the clients, but if FWR has a connection to either Watanuki or Doumeki (or even Yuuko), those girls may have molded after the women we've seen in xxxHolic.


( Also? I'm almost sure FWR is from the future.  )
