i held off on doing this for ages because of silly reasons to do with accuracy and completism. but i suppose calling it a 'masterlist of posted fic', rather than simply a 'fic masterlist', resolves the main issues. still difficult to resist the urge to list and link every single fic meme fill, though. -_-;;

wild flailing

so i only just realised that not only does the second season of mushishi (SECOND SEASON OF MUSHISHI) mean that kumado's arc will get animated (KUMADO does this mean people will finally acknowledge his existence), it also means that we will get to see

wait for it

TEENAGE GINKO BACKSTORY augh

um.

so this is, like, one of the lamest ways to reappear on livejournal, especially given that it is about five years too late for anyone to care, but:

i was finally reading the second volume of the new maloki manga, and baldr appears. as in, gets a character design.

( it looks like this. )

if i was on tumblr i wouldn't have to spam LJ like this

things i need to write: fic about kaishou rinroku. fic about matoba seiji.

antagonists with significant power and responsibilities, whose philosophy/worldview is fundamentally different from that of the protagonists, but who aren't actually seeking to undermine them and in fact may rely on them to an extent. yes.

(that also means that shinjuurou = natsume and inga = madara. i am okay with this. :| )

(this would be more entertaining if anyone cared about UN-GO, sob.)

i also need to write a casshern sins fic titled the undiscovered country, but i don't think i can take rewatching 26 episodes of robot angst any time soon.

more yuletide, except more than fic

i don't usually do recs, but this is amazing. interactive fiction that takes off both from that XKCD click-and-drag and Invisible Cities!

Bigger Than You Think

in the best interactive fiction tradition, there are lots of items to pick up and play around with. have fun - i certainly did.

yuletide!!!

i received a matoba fic for

yuletide, and it is amazing. it's basically all the matoba backstory i'll need until canon itself chooses to reveal more, if it ever does. *_* read it!

Mirror's Depth

oh, and, yes -- merry christmas. ^_^;;

---

edit: i keep rereading that fic, ahhhh. ♥ many people in natsume fandom seem to really dislike matoba, but i find him intriguing, and augh, now i want more fic that treats him as more than a villain. ;_; also, worldbuilding! since the most recent manga volumes i've become really interested in exorcist politics/the nature of being an exorcist... but i guess i can't fault the fandom for concentrating more on natsume's personal journey and so on.

By offering to write for any of these fandoms, you are already awesome. Thanks so much for doing so!

music

first single off the new Kent album

never mind whether it's silly of Kent to insist that they won't chop it down for radio. (actually, the first time i listened to it i did feel that it went on a bit, but now i'm quite happy with its length.) just listen to it.

ahh, spring.

speaking of which, will be overseas for two weeks from saturday, so my already-rare comments will be non-existent. i can't wait to be somewhere with seasons again.

wallowing in fandom nostalgia

it probably helps that i don't actually remember much about the matantei loki ragnarok anime, but i'm finding this tumblr pretty amusing.

music

before the year ends

some songs from the year:

LAMA - Fantasy
addictive and compelling. the ending to the UN-GO anime.

Explosions in the Sky - The Birth and Death of the Day
this band is mandatory listening. this song is epic.

The Notwist - Lichter 3
part of the OST that i'd been searching for since 2004, and finally bought online this year. slow, minimalist, melancholic electronica.

yuletiiiiide

i just received the most heartbreaking and amazing twins-centric Kimi to Boku fic for

yuletide, and. ahhhhhhh. so many emotions!

yuuki was my favourite character at first, but yuuta took that place after several manga volumes of development, and this fic basically elaborates upon every heartbreaking yuuta moment in canon. the twins' relationship is one of my favourite parts of the series, and i love how this fic takes it to one logical conclusion.

i could go on for ages, but sadly, none of you is into Kimi to Boku. ._. but here is the fic, all the same:

not where it starts, but where it ends

edit: not just that, someone wrote University of Cambridge anthropomorfic. SCREAMS.

from

acanti:

List fifteen of your favorite characters from different fandoms, and ask people to spot patterns in your choices, if they're so inclined.

it was surprisingly hard to think of characters. i cheated a lot by having more than one character per fandom.

1. Ginko (Mushishi)
2. Natsume (Natsume Yuujinchou)
3. Yuuki (Kimi to Boku)
4. Yuuta (Kimi to Boku)
5. Haruhi (Ouran High School Host Club)
6. Kabuto (Naruto)
7. Iceland (Hetalia)
8. Utgard Loki (Matantei Loki Ragnarok)
9. Yamino (Matantei Loki Ragnarok)
10. Aya (Weiss Kreuz)
11. Youji (Weiss Kreuz)
12. Iida (Jiraishin)
13. The Major (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex version)
14. Death (Discworld)
15. Vetinari (Discworld)

some traits common to more than one of the above characters:
- ~~not having friends~~ not being very social/outgoing
- a tendency to -_- -face
- being fairly asexual
- being cold
- liking cats

so basically, i like characters which remind me of a better/cooler version of myself. oh teh narcissism.

radio silence

i've been remiss in explaining my absences from LJ, this year, and this particular absence is likely to last a while longer. long story short: i've been on holiday on and off over the past month; i am getting ready to leave the UK for... at least a long while, if not for good; when i get to singapore, i will be busy unpacking and recovering after four years mostly away; and as such i'm unlikely to catch up flist-wise until early september. at which point i begin indentured servitude.

take care, you guys. see you in september.

music

actually listening to new albums, wow

it has been ages, but here's a music post. i am not up to writing tempting descriptions of the songs, sadly.

The Weakerthans - Leash
the weakerthans with a little bit more of an edge. if you haven't listened to the weakerthans before... you should? they have songs from the point of view of a housecat! a song entitled "Our Retired Explorer (Dines With Michel Foucault In Paris, 1961)"!

The Notwist - Good Lies
i like the notwist because they are kind of like electronica with a soul? i feel that most of their songs are quiet and melancholic without being wallow-y.

Erik Hassle - Stay Away
Erik Hassle - Arrows
bought this album (mariefred sessions) because it was a collab with kent, haha. the english lyrics are hilariously awkward (or just hilarious) in parts, and the album on the whole is so poppy that it hurts (at least to me, since i haven't listened to pop music in ages). but i guess it's the sort of pop i can get behind? i really like the first song; the second song is the least poppy one on the album, whiiich should give you an idea of what the rest is like.
