The post lacking emo-ness

Hello!!

Well, today i'm not updating anything important. No problems here, just a need to ramble. Hehe...
Guess the past few days when i had Misa over guaranteed some company. Now that Misa's gone back, guess i'm off to prattle by myself.

You know, i think today i'm gonna write down my list of wishes. You know, sorta like... "I wish that i can eat ice cream all the time," (i had too much of this in the past that's why it's a wish now =P). Or, "I wish Lockon hadn't died in S1 Gundam 00." Or that "Yuu Shirota was the kid who lived next door" ---> I'm only making this wish because it's amusing. I don't think i'd care if he lived next door XD.

Or "I wish that i owned my own bookstore." Okay, just so that this doesn't take a sour downturn and a pity party, i'll make up a rule that i'm not allowed to make wishes to repair my own defects. Cause i know there are plenty of those and we can angst another time, ne? ^_~

  1. I wish that the anime couples i support become the dominant coupling in a fandom that way more fanfiction will be produced about them.
  2. I wish i can write my own fanfiction so that i won't be so critical towards the writings of others. --> well, this isn't exactly a defect... just a wish... right?
  3. I wish my hands and my mind is connected so that i can draw exactly as my mind depicts.
  4. I wish that writers are more keen on writing stronger females rather than one that is dominated by the thought of guys or sugar rush/caffeine/shoes.
  5. I wish that writers aren't often trapped in the perception of heteronormativity. Rather, it would be a breath of fresh air to explore the diversity within cultural boundaries. Because i understand that certain matters are taboo and that that following the rules seem like something only goody-two-shoes people would do, but i'm in full support of it. Although some *would* argue the validity of those rules to begin with.
  6. I wish that my room has blinds.
  7. I wish my phone *and* my comp doesn't lag.
  8. I wish M'sia isn't so hot.
  9. I wish that drivers on the road would be more considerate.
  10. I wish that i have a cooler coloured bedsheet XD
  11. I wish i can eat cupcakes whenever i want (this wish x3)
  12. I wish i am telekinetic *snicker*
  13. I wish that people (including me?) aren't so angry all the time
  14. I wish that i'm not afraid of the dark
  15. I wish that i don't get hungry between meals =(
  16. I wish that Doraemon really do exist with his cool gadgets and stuff so that i can take advantage of him. Heck, i'd use him better than Nobita can.
  17. I wish that superheroes do exist. But then, the villains would too... Hmm... that's scary.
  18. I wish for a hp laptop -> heck, i'm making this wish come true even if it's a hundred years down the line XD
Okay, those are random wishes. I have decided this to be a post of randomness. So, i'm actually gonna list down a few of my favourite OTPs (that's One True Pairing for those who aren't fanfic readers =P)

Well, my first, OTP is definitely Tezuka and Fuji. No piccies included cause i teh lazy. XD Actually, they're like my ULTIMATE OTP cause when i was suppose to write some love scene for a play we did in MMU, i thought "heck, i can't come up with a single love sentence between these characters."

So i changed the names in the script-writing process and wrote the scene as a conversation between Tezuka and Fuji. And guess what? It worked. Damn, those two are so easy to write. Be it in angst or fluff, they've just got a natural chemistry and this compatible air which i simply can't refute.

Next couple: Yamato and Taichi from Digimon.

The series is pretty old but somehow, these two kept it alive for me. Actually, i see their relationship growing brutally from friendship and crossing straight into a strongly sexual relationship. (Yayness!! Fic, if there is any!! XD) Hmm... don't ask me why. It might be cause of their characters where both are rash in their own way. I always find it weird when people made either calculative. Matt or Yamato might be repressive but i don't think he second-guesses objectives that much.

Another plot that i'm quite fond of reading is i suppose the cliched 'confession'. But honestly, as a reader, i expect the writer to take me through an intense emotional journey rather than a breeze in the park. So, the ones that i'm fond of reading build-up to the confession or has the confession in the beginning only you see the inner turmoil within the characters. Ah, the life of drama. Isn't it fascinating for us *normal* human beings?

Anyways, i guess i'm fond of this couple because... i'm biased. I like Matt. He has been mah fave chara for a long time, so in order for me to keep his memory alive, i'd have to continuously read about him. Unfortunately, the only available stories are those that require a life partner. Okay, maybe not so unfortunate... The genre 'romance' takes a lot to get used to but, once you find your niche, then the fics come pouring to yea XD.

But anyways, i find the dynamic between these two characters interesting. They differ so much from the passive relationship that i see Tezuka and Fuji going through. Both are more volatile and explosive in a sense. That's why i see the transition of their relationship as something sudden and strong.

The following is probably the only het couple that i strongly support. I have some pet ones but, for those, i'm simply fond of a character, so i'd read the stories just to get them XD

It's Fuuko and Mikagami from Flame of Recca.

Another old series but i love when the writers describe their interaction with one another; snippy, witty and quick. Quite adorable and a very lively relationship, if you ask me. I am quite fond of Fuuko's character which can range from angsty to downright cheerful but it is when one borders on the other that really colours a fic for me. Mikagami is another character that show how deeply still waters seep down the cracks.

I don't have much to comment about this couple aside from the fact that i do like them. The stories i tend to read revolving these characters are quite generic because i feel like anything extreme is out of the ordinary for them although they did go through one hell of an experience in high school. Anyways, their interaction is funny... =P

The fourth is a very odd couple for me to talk about. It's Remus Lupin and Sirius Black. Now, how many would expect that from me?

Not the couple, but the fandom XD Haha!! These two definitely made J.K.Rowling's series alive for me though there are times that i ask "Harry Potter who?"

XD

The side effect of reading the supporting roles too much ^_^;; But, well, she didn't delve too deeply into them that the fics i read become Out Of Character or anything. These two, in the world of fandom have a typical relationship. Black is suppose to be a womanizer while Lupin is a bookish nerd. They hang out in the same group, with Lupin being a closet-homo and Black still the womanizer when one day, Black realizes that he loves Lupin. Cliche. I realize my life is surrounded by cliches but more often than not, the cliched stories are easier to read because you know what to expect.

Anyway, i do welcome changes in their relationship though i don't seek for them.

Another is probably Hikaru and Akira from Hikaru no Go.

I should mention that these are couples that if they're written seperated from the other, my mind immediately shuts the story out. It is quite curious how this works because, the action seems rather reflexive.

I have other pet faves like NejiGaara, or Clouffie or something but, with these guys, i'm not too bothered if they end up with other people. Except for Neji. I think i like him being a single, third party just fine unless he's written well. =P

Haha!!

I guess that's another post for major crappage~

Maybe i'll talk more about fanfic next time =D

Hehe... Byes!!

I'm gonna struggle with facebook now.
