MEME GAME~ <3

[nekokoban]

Okay, seriously: is the internet just sort of deadsies recently? Noooooo, how will I stay entertaiiiiiined~ Or have I just somehow developed a really skewed view of how things are because my short-term memory is not unlike a gerbil on crack? I swear to fishes and cake that things just sort of ... dropped, just a little before the new year. It's like everyone went into celebratory drunken orgies early and haven't yet woken up from the post-holiday hangovers. :(

EITHER THAT or I have evolved into a being that lives time faster than the rest of the world, so that five real seconds is five hours to me. Both are about equally likely, especially knowing my attention span. :\

A-also, I swear the last time I looked at the people who friended me, the number was signifigantly smaller. HI EVERYONE NEW god I feel more than a little self-conscious right now, ahahaha. Um.

Since I'm about to go on lunch break, let's have a recycled meme. :|b

Ask me about a character and I will give you at least three (3) pieces of my personal fanon for said character. BONUS: with proper encouragement, I will write flashfic to expand any particular point.

And if for some truly bizarre reason people are curious to ask me about anything else at all, JUST HIT ME! o/ I want to get to know all you new people, but even the ones I've friended for filters haven't been posting much very recently. T_____Tb

Uh... JULIUS from Ludwig. 8D

[nekokoban]

1. Julius is going to be forever-ever-after be in danger of BADTOUCH from Her Majesty the Queen Mother. :|b Even as he starts getting older and looks less like a cute little boytoy.

2. I may be bad for hoping that he and Hansel and Gretel all three stay together and there is DANGEROUS THREESOME. Most of the time, it doesn't worry me though! o/

3. On the other hand I have a vague suspicion that someday, somewhere along the way, someone is going to suggest Julius become Juliana again, because no one other princess is out there for Lui. I like this idea too, even when I'm entertained by the other. \o/

[jpegasus.livejournal.com]

no no no I totally understand, the internet is SO DEAD lately D: like two posts a day, MAYBE D:

also we have presents for you and the roommate
you should get them, soonish

um, yes. Soon. Presents :D

[nekokoban]

Oh man, I'm so glad it's not just me. o___oa Because seriously -- it's not been long enough to be the "good old days," and yet it's so QUIET. And ... okay, just QUIET. D:

Ooooooo, presents! I like presents, I like them very much♥♥

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Tenth or Fifth Doctor, your choice. ♥

[nekokoban]

OSHI--

1. This I blame on you: that while stuck in 1969 with Martha, he did in fact try to look up on Susan and himself; he went through all the hoops and hurdles and everything and-- then just never went. It was all the difference of one step and he didn't go.

2. He totally DID keep the horse, just like (I think it was Daives?) said in the commentaries. Gave Martha quite a start when she found it. XD

3. Secretly nurses a shameful fondness for coffee. He talks about tea and its many wonders and benefits, and he does actually like it but -- you know, sometimes, you just need the bigger caffeine jolt. It's also how I think he pulls off the really madcap talking-superfast-and-turning-on-a-dime thing that he does. XD

[darthparadox.livejournal.com]

Jayne Cobb. I'm kind of curious what you have for a guy that pretty much wears his entire personality on his sleeve. (Not that I particularly know whether you write Firefly at all, but it's on your interests list. Hi, new here, etc. :P)

[nekokoban]

Ooooosh, it's been a while since I've seen Firefly. XD Bu~uuuut~

1. Jayne has something like eight sisters, named things like Bobbie, Billi, Fred, Charlie, etc. He's not the youngest, but he's maybe only one or two from the end.

2. For all his growling and suspicion and grumbling about River, there is a part of him that is sort of ... [handwave] Drawn to her. He's not sure himself if it's an attraction thing or a little-sister thing.

3. Vera is his mother's name. :|b

[teleute12.livejournal.com]

Hmm, come to think of it, my flist HAS been kinda quiet recently! I hadn't really noticed before.

Re: meme - if no one's asked for him yet, tell me about the Medicine Seller?

[nekokoban]

This is seriously making me feel a little better. XD I was half-convinced that maybe I was just idealizing things because I was bored and wanted more things to doooooo. That it's been independantly confirmed by several other people that no, the internet is just slow, makes me feel better. \o/

HAHAHAHA MEDICINE SELLER♥

1. I am convinced that he is some sort of minor god -- the fact that it's not even a concern if he'll win or lose once he draws the sword implies a great deal of both power and confidence, which I totally buy.

1a. When I am being super-dorky, I will say that he's the son of Amaterasu and Ushiwaka (from Okami).

2. The Other is less another side of him as the sword itself -- the god theory may apply more to the other, since I think that once the sword is drawn, the spirit inside of it possesses the (unaging, unchanging) body and THAT is what's the white-haired, dark-skinned, mononoke-killing machine. If that makes sense.

3. While he is very disinterested -- for the most part -- in unpossessed normal humans beyond finding them mildly interesting, he does find people and creatures with power approaching or similiar to his own (or a known mononoke) quite fascinating. This is how I justify him in camp. o/

4. A fan of animals. He likes and gets along well with them, unless they're possessed by mononoke, at which point then he kills them in the faaaace.

5. Never changes his clothes through the ages less because "people won't take him seriously as a medicine-seller" (he could care less about that, really) but because he likes the clothes he has. They're comfortable, they're functional, so why bother?

6. His box is sort of like the Luggage, in a way -- he just has to have a need or want of something, and it will be there when he opens the box. Like the sword (the Other), it's kind of symbiotic to his need.

BECAUSE I JUST WATCHED VOL. 5 OF HGJ AND I AM CRYING:

PERSONAL FANON OF CLAIR AND/OR GIOVANNI

[nekokoban]

♥♥♥ CLAIR AND GIOVANNI ARE BOTH AWESOME K.

1. I wrote about it in fic, but I am also still convinced that the old Vampire did, in fact, purchase a whore for Clair's first time with a girl. She was probably also shot after sex, though Clair never cared much to find out.

2. Clair grew up with a peculiar mix of adoration and terror; offsetting the constant drilling and testing and studying he went through, he occasionally would be completely coddled and swathed by his father -- one day he wouldn't be allowed to even get water for himself; the next, he'd be sent on a gauntlet through the slums before he'd be allowed to drink.

3. Till the day he dies, Clair will continue to occasionally address Ian and Mitchal, especially for big do-or-die situations. Most of the goons have been briefed to let this go, with the understanding that Giovanni will deal personally with anyone who a) calls him on it, b) mocks him for it or c) suggests he lets it go.

[torsui.livejournal.com]

ummmm. ban! or fakir. :D

[nekokoban]

♥

BAN:

1. Is not above (in his own head) thumbing his nose and going neener-neener to any former VOLTS member, but especially the Kings, whenever they meet and Ginji is being exceptionally affectionate and cheerful -- but always comes back to him at the end. BY THE WAY: Ban is happy being a jerk.

2. Until the day he dies, he will never, ever come out and say who won that first fight against Raitei. He'll imply and smirk (as he's been shown), but he won't ever say. Ginji might, if you caught him at the right time, but Ban never will.

3. While his witch-blood isn't powerful enough to revive a dead man by itself (he says at one point that it was because of Lucifer and Maria that he was able to in the first place), it does have a number of healing properties. Somewhere early in his career -- possibly before he met even Yamato and Himiko -- he had an Incident with a man who wanted to steal his blood and make it into a magical cure-all. This may or may not be how Ban got into the whole underground businesses in the first place.

4. In spite of his attitude, there is a part of him that is humbled by Ginji's unwavering faith, and that's what spurs the rest of him (unwilling and bad-tempered as it is) to be worthy of that.

[cinnamonblood.livejournal.com]

Yeah, my friends list is dead, too. At least it's not just me...?

I'd ask you about a Triple Strike character, but I suppose that wouldn't exactly be fanon, would it? ^^;

[nekokoban]

The fact that it's not just me, either, makes me feel a lot better. XD; THE INTERNET JUST SEEMS TO BE DEEEEAD~

You can totally ask about a Triple Strike character if you want. It'd be in that gray area between fanon and canon, since I'd have to run it past Sharky first. *g*

[vaulted-eel.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've been noticing my flist's deadness for a while now! It's weird. I remember I used to miss a day and then I'd have pages and pages to catch up on, but nowadays a day's worth of entries barely takes me five minutes to scan. :| Of course, I haven't been so great about posting lately either.

As for the fanon meme, uh... wait what you're into Shadow Hearts? I missed that somehow! :D Have anything for Yuri?

[nekokoban]

Yes, exactly. Maybe I'm noticing because my offline life has slowed down a bit, but it's just quiiiiiiiet. (I've been posting lots of little spammy things, but that may just be in reaction to the quiet going on.)

AND I LOVE SHADOW HEARTS~ ♥ Second-favorite RPG after Okami♥

1. Some part of Yuri's poor brain made the connection between his mother and Karin pretty much as soon as Anasatia "renamed" her. The rest of him is repressing that terribly.

2. Something I incoprorated from discussions with laylah -- so, Yuri gets the "real" (bad) ending at the first game, then gets the GOOD ending of the second game, goes back in time and then does everything appropriate to save Alice, AND THEY LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER. THE END! \o/

3. However, his kids may or may not have been involved with some of the events and politics of WWII, following in their old man's footsteps. This is mostly based on my own not-so-secret desire for a SH4 with more of the same TOTALLY OUT THERE historical fantasy. :D

[fadedfeathers.livejournal.com]

Slowness is a reason behind my TERRIBLE HORRIBLE BOREDOM as of late. And due to that, I'm gonna spam, dammit :|b

I'mma give you a choice: Watanuki, Mytho, Soubi, or any of the KH destiny kids. HAVE AT IT ♥

[nekokoban]

OF COURSE then I go off and spend an evening with friends and that's when everyone replies to this post. XD SO OKAY THEN.

Let's go with Mytho, 'cos I've never written out fanon for him before! \o/

1. He will not age as time goes by, being a character of a story, created fully-formed. (Rue, however, will.)

2. He only sees Fakir and Ahiru twice before they die -- once when Ahiru becomes a girl again, and the second time after Rue passes. Both times, he never actually says a word to them, just watches and goes on his way.

3. Before he and the Raven left the story, the Prince never changed much; he was very much the one-dimensional "fight bad guys and save noble princesses" sort; it was breaking his heart and regaining it that allowed him to start growing as a person -- and there are times (especially after the end) where he regrets that.

... I wasn't aware that my PT fanon sounded so depressing, said aloud. XD;

[hitode.livejournal.com]

Hmm. How about Doumeki?

[nekokoban]

Doumeki okay! o/

1. Doumeki's family is actually pretty gregarious and cheerful; his mother especially is one of those tiny cheerful women who likes to mother anyone who comes within her range. He means to introduce Watanuki one day, just ... hasn't gotten around to it yet.

Doumeki's pretty sure she'll love him, though.

2. He's met Yuuko before, when he was very young and his grandfather was still alive. She told him something very important at that time.

She remembers this. He doesn't.

3. While he can't see things -- even sharing his vision with Watanuki he tends to see things more as dark blurs than the actual creatures they are -- he's always been sensitive to things like hunches or flashes; it's not that he can really see the future, it's more that he knows if he does this certain thing before something else happens, he can ... redirect the flow of events, if only just a little.

[elihice.livejournal.com]

Jack, either DW Jack or TW Jack.

[nekokoban]

Haven't seen any Torchwood yet, so I'll go with what I've got based on DW canon. :)

1. There is an entire season-and-a-half worth of adventures between the end of The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances and Boom Town. This is totally not counting the adventures and events mentioned in the novels; he and the Doctor and Rose travelled together for quite some time together.

2. Until he met the Doctor, there was pretty much no one Jack couldn't eventually talk into bed with him. For this, among other reasons, he holds the Doctor in a very special place within his heart.

3. There will be a time when he'll travel exclusively with the Doctor again; it won't be for many years, but it'll happen. Knowing this, Jack's not too worried about how the rest of his immortal life will go.

4. SPEAKING of immortality, the Face of Boe thing? Was something done so he could get around his accidental immortality; he found a way out and took it, even if it meant changing -- even Jack Harkness will eventually develop past his infamous insatiable libido.

[gisho.livejournal.com]

Well, since Triple Strike has been okayed - Sif. I like Sif.

Also, since I picked up GB22, pick a Maryuudo! Any Maryuudo. I can respond in kind if provoked! <3

[nekokoban]

Ooooo, Sif, I don't have a whole lot for Sif! But:

1. At this point in time, Loki is definitely more interested in having kids than she is. It's definitely on her to-do list, but right now she's far too busy to really worry herself too much about it.

2. She met Hildegarde Jiordson once, when she was very young. She'd never say as much aloud, but she likes Sven a great deal better.

3. She and Ian have been passingly good friends for a long time; he's someone she looks up to immensely as a mentor and example.

AND AS FOR THE MARYUUDO I PICK AMON♥ Though I'd love to hear your thoughts on any of the Shikizoku, really. *g*

1. Amon definitely figured out the parallels between himself and Emishi when he heard Emishi describing his respect and debt to Shido; rather than be jealous, he's glad that Shido had SOMEONE with a sense of humor around.

2. Never been the sort to hold grudges -- never needed to. In spite of his loneliness and the inherent disjoint of being able to kill with a touch, he's a pretty cheerfully zen person.

3. Despite his feelings for Emishi, he wouldn't mind seeing him settle down with a pretty girl -- one, because it means that there'd be cute cute kids to spoil♥ and two, because it means that Emishi is no longer the last of the warrior line.

[yhibiki.livejournal.com]

Don't feel much like meme-ing, but I could attempt to entertain you if that's still an issue (But 41 comments in, doesn't look like it would be?) XD I find that the internet is "dead" for me just because of time differences? Goddamn Japan, being in the future!

I'm also a terrible procrastinator. D: I'm playing vidji games instead of working on SK or translations XD

[nekokoban]

HAHAHAHA I went over to a friend's apartment to hang out for the evening, and came back to find out people had actually been replying to this post! It was a bit of a shock for me. XD However, though your magical internet-in-the-future is why it's dead for you, why is it dead for the rest of us? T___T

Man, I SHOULD work on SK stuff. I really really should.

INSTEAD I hang out with people and play on CFUD and ... sleep! Sleep is gorgeous. \o/

[ghostdrive.livejournal.com]

re: fanon meme

[thinks] Hmmm...how about Ushiwaka from Okami?

[nekokoban]

O Ushiwaka♥♥ I love that fruitcake. :(b

1. He served as in Princess Kaguya's court, not so much as her oracle as her righthand man and advisor; he was the one she most often went to for advice before they fled the moon and before the disaster that sent them crashing to earth.

2. In his youth, for a time, was a disciple of the Yami-no-Sumeragi. It wasn't that unusual for those of the Moon-Tribe to follow his teachings. He was never forgiven for converting to Amaterasu's ways instead, hence why he survived when none of the gods did when the Ark fell: punishment for his "betrayal."

3. He had one son with Amaterasu, one to whom he eventually passed on his sword.

[themadfish.livejournal.com]

...uhhh, Zuko? Cause the recent Avatar episodes have been making me love his angst even more.

[nekokoban]

Zuko works! I apologize, I haven't seen a whole lot of season 3 yet, so this is based on just the first two for now. *g*

1. Zuko has the potential to become a great and extraordinary leader, if he'd just learn a little moderation and patience. His tendency to obsess is really what's holding him back the most.

2. For nearly a year after his mother disappeared, Zuko really did honestly believe she'd come back someday. It took Azula essentially grinding his face into it that she was gone forever.

3. What the boy really needs, more than anything else, is a hug without any agenda or purpose behind it, and then a good solid thwack to the head. More personal opinion than fanon, but I would be glad to see Iroh do this, so very much. :|b

tengu panties

[sjen.livejournal.com]

I just gotta know one thing"

Haruka-- boxers, briefs, or fundoushi?

>:D

AND WRITE ABOUT IT.

Re: tengu panties

[nekokoban]

FUNDOSHI OBVIOUSLY.

But I would need more of a prompt than that. >D

[kilalas-place.livejournal.com]

Deadness makes my winter break even less fun than it was to start with. D:

Any thoughts on Kurogane?

[nekokoban]

I swear even around Christmastime, the internet was more alive than it's been recently. o_Oa

I HAVE LOTS OF THOUGHTS ON KUROGANE RIGHT NOW. Cough.

1. Intends to someday reclaim Suwa and return it to a place where people can live peacefully. It's on his list of Things To Do Before Dying, though below "Kill the bastard that killed my mother" and "make sure Princess Tomoyo is safe." Actually it's towards the bottom of his list, but it's still definitely there.

2. Finished his schooling, as a boy, alongside Tomoyo at Amaterasu's direction. He may not be the brains or all that academic, but he's had a good and thorough education.

3. Despite his attitude, he's probably more patient than anyone else of the TRC main cast. Certainly he's the one who can stay still the longest -- even so, he does prefer the most direct means of doing things.

4. Conversely, he HATES dancing around issues or skirting tihngs, especially when they are so obviously in your face. He'd much rather punch an issue in the face, then go home and have a quiet night NOT WORRYING ABOUT STUPID THINGS.

5. Thing is, Kurogane does prefer women. He really does. Somehow, though, he never does get around to kicking Fay out.

[fuyu]

BECAUSE I FINALLY HAVE INTERNETS AGAIN!

Ed. Orrr, PW character of your choice. :D

[nekokoban]

I'M SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG you asked for hard fandoms for me. XD;

WE'LL TRY ANYWAY! o/ With Ed!

1. Ed's probably what one would term "alchemysexual" -- he's been aware of the workings and knowings of the human body (and what two people can do together) since he was six; ten years later, though, he only knows and is interested in it in a purely academic sense.

2. There's honestly absolutely nothing he wouldn't do for Al. The leg and arm and the heart he offered before are just small fry -- there's literally nothing he wouldn't do, ever.

3. Ed tends to forget his own age on a regular basis -- not so much a "oh, haha, I'm turning sixteen this year" sort of way; more that he literally cannot remember his age because while Al always tries to celebrate his birthday in some small way, Ed has bigger and (he thinks) more important things to think about all the time.

[caleb-moss.livejournal.com]

I think you're right, I've been noticing that nothing much is going on - updating and such. It sort of shots my own motivation to do things... which is just sad.

Hopefully starting classes again will make us all run for our computers for relief.

[nekokoban]

I feel like I've been sort of compensating for the deadness of my flist by spamming the hell out of things, but on the other hand, my "spamming" is usually "one post a day" instead of "one post every xx days."

It'd be nice to see people become active again, though; I was seriously wondering if it was just me. XD

[(Anonymous)]

Hi, you might remember me as the anon who asked you for Katarou the last time you did a meme like this...

I most certainly wouldn't mind if you did him again for this one, but I'm posting to ask you if you could tell me where do you read manga. You see, though I love tatics and Ludwig Kakumei, I only ever read the 1st chapter of tatics (and failed to find it again afterwards, I made do with the anime), and as for Ludwig, I've only found the first two volumes (without the Bluebeard story, unfortunately). It seems people around here have got much farther, so, if it wouldn't be too much trouble...

[nekokoban]

Hello again~ And well, I can always do Kantarou again, if you like, or I could do someone else from tactics if you're interested. *g*

As for where I get my manga, well -- I live about fifteen minutes away from a Kinokuniya, so I buy my manga in Japanese. XD; That's how I've kept up with both the tactics and the Ludwig Kakumei manga. I don't know any scanlating groups that are doing either tactics or Ludwig right now though, sorry. :\
