Note to self: I am too good for this sinful earth sensitive for the internet at times. Avoid thinking about the DDD drama unfolding until it blows over, because right now it's kind of making me feel sick.

Arcane Power came in the mail today. I don't know how many people know about my fey pact!warlock, but Tira's going to end up epically awesome. ("Do you want to know exactly where the fey touched me~?")

My cousin is glorious and I adore visiting her. On an unrelated note, it's time for an update to "things there is porn of"!

Things that there is porn of on the internet (that I didn't make myself):
Caster/Issei
Rin/Issei
Taiga/Issei
Himuro/Issei
Archer/Issei
Iskander/Issei (I am not making this up.)
Rider/Issei

Things that there is not porn of on the internet (that I didn't make myself):
Shirou/Issei

I'm happy for Issei getting laid, but geeze.

Things that sucked about today:
-The cough from yesterday graduated into a cold. I can only hope I caught the 'blech' from Elf, so she doesn't have it any more.
-Had a migraine, threw up.
-Aaron broke a pickle jar. Naturally, I'm the one who cleaned it up.
-Haven't had dinner because there's still glass in the kitchen.

Things that did not suck about today:
-Did not cut myself on any glass.
-Beat Battle Moon Wars!
( More about that. )

So OGT week is over, and the only one that was even remotely hard was science. So... yay.

I'm a legitimate beta now. With something that I betaed on the internet, and everything!

To-do list:
-I should figure out how to download and play Act 4 of Battle Moon Wars without getting rid of my old save... Done~
-By the end of spring break (March 30-April 3) I want to have written summaries for all of my fics, with the intention of including summaries for them hereon out. Current status: 0/264 50/264 101/264 123/264. Oh boy. 139/264, more than halfway done, and having just reached the first F/SN fic. Done!
-Work on untitled trade-fic for Elf, current status ~500 words. Half the length of Offerings already. Done and up, currently in the 'wait for someone to reply so I don't panic over whether it sucks' stage. Oh, wow, it didn't suck.
-Work on untitled 'ancient Japan is really homoerotic' fic.
-Finish chapter 2 of Broken Phantasm.
-Try to kick a Naesala muse into gear, because I want to be able to write him again.
-Finish the male!Archer/male!Rin/male!Issei part of that epic genderswap!PWP I wanted to write, which still leaves twelve other parts. That part clocked in at 1,945 words, and I'm going to stop that before Rin has his wicked way with Issei some more. Twelve parts to go!
-Come to think of it, I should put Abalone on FF.net and decide whether it's going to be all character:+issei, or only character:+issei, character:+shirou and character:+issei, character:+archer. Or decide not to put that story on there at all.

So apparently I suck at Battle Moon Wars.

You'd think that, having played a lot of turn-based strategy games in my time, I would not fail so miserably at this one, but no.

...I'm going to keep persevering. Maybe it'll get easier... and it'd be nice if my computer would stop overheating and shutting down.

Still, thank goodness for immobile bosses. Especially ones that can't attack the person next to them.

(On the very early chapter with the wolf boss, for the curious.)

I am not at all complaining about having no school three days in a row. Heck yes, snow is awesome.

I would also not be complaining about this Persona 4/Fate/stay night crossover that's rooted itself into my brain, except for the small fact that I haven't even played Persona 4.

Main Character: Shirou (Persona: Arturia + everybody ever, freaking wild cards)
Party Member #1: Rin (Persona: Archer)
Party Member #2: Sakura (Persona: Medusa)
Party Member #3: Ilya (Persona: Hercules)
Party Member #4: Issei (Persona: ?)
Party Member #5/First Mission Control: ...Waver? (Persona: Iskander)
Party Member #6: ?
Second Mission Control: ...Shinji? (Persona: ?)
First Victim: ...Kariya?
Second Victim: Ayako
Rescue This Victim Or You're A Horrible Person: Taiga
Woops, Not The Big Bad: ...Ryunosuke? (Persona: Bluebeard)
Big Bad: Kotomine (Persona: Gilgamesh)
Social Links: I don't even want to think about this.

Name a character (or characters) and I'll tell you all the pairings with them that I like (or have considered for any length of time), and what I think of all of them.

You know what I like~

Is this a rare mention of real life? Shock! :O

-Braces still hurt like hell.
-I have an 89 in Creative Technology. Crap. I know my parents are going to chew me out for this.
-On the plus side, I think I pwned that English exam.

Things that there is porn of on the internet:
Caster+Rin/Issei
Taiga/Issei
Himuro/Issei
Archer/Issei

Things that there is not porn of on the internet:
Shirou/Issei

...this does not make sense.

(For those outside of F/SN fandom: Issei never speaks to Taiga, Himuro, or Archer within canon, and he hates Rin. Shirou is his practically-canon crush. What the hell.)

...well, I'm kind of at a loss for words right now...

Um, mister? One of the worst of the fandom, really? I'll admit that I don't really like the fic myself, but...

I waaaaant more Mitsuaki Madono songs and I can't find them! Charlie of Angelique has like three image songs, and Sorceror Hunter's Marron has one, and I can't find any. >(

( Early UBW spoilers? And late UBW spoilers implied? )

...This sudden urge to pick up a Broken-Phantasm!Issei and/or a Broken-Phantasm!Archer for tmdressingroom (WHICH YOU SHOULD ALL JOIN) would be less annoying if I could actually write any of Broken Phantasm. Geeze, and I thought the sudden idea for a completely different alt-route fic featuring actual requited Issei/Shirou was bad... But, brain? I do not need three Issei journals. And I'd be playercesting a lot.

I'm... just gonna sit here and think of journal names. That I won't use. Yeah.

noreiju, noseals, ryudoji, ryudojimaster, masterissei, blushflail, summonerof, ryudoissei, day8reverse, notasfailmaster, stumblesinto.

brokenphantasm, servantof, nomanatransfer, wrongmaster, ryudojiarcher, summonaccident, summonedby, deadpansnarker, deadpanarcher.

EDIT: SOMEONE SHOOT ME.

More than anything, I hate the lag between when you post a fic and when your first comment arrives - particularly if it's a fic you're not sure of, so you're just going 'oh god it sucks and I suck'.

Also, I had a disconcerting moment today. My father was expressing his disappointment about my low grades in two of my classes.

I have straight A's.

Disconcerting.

While I attempt to figure out a tune for Tohsaka Rin (Why Are All The Good Ones Hers?), you may have this meme from Sara.

In this meme, you put ten characters in a reality show and see what happens when they battle to win!

First, pick your reality show. So You Want To Be A Popular Character?
What's the premise? Generic traditional blah blah, do challenges, don't kill each other.
Who hosts it? Light Yagami. There have been some concerns that the show might have gone just as planned.
Who are the judges? Sakura Matou (the nice one), Lelouch Lamperouge (the stoic one), Kamina (the awesome one).

Now, pick your 10 contestants.
1) Archer (Fate/stay night)
2) Naesala (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn)
3) Vaarsuvius (The Order of the Stick)
4) Admiral ZEX (Star Control 2)
5) Creed (Black Cat)
6) Ryuuya (AIR)
7) Ladie (Riviera: the Promised Land)
8) Colm (Fire Emblem: the Sacred Stones)
9) Pamela (Yggdra Union)
10) Issei (Fate/stay night)

( Now dip behind the cut and see what happens! )

So Broken Phantasm is going to need some tweaking, since I know for sure that Issei won't get any Command Spells... it shouldn't be too much of a problem, though.

And I'm thinking of claiming Issei for 10_whores. Weirdly enough, the first pairing that jumps to my mind is Issei/Caster. What the heck?

EDIT: Well, claimed. Let's see, Caster's done, so that leaves Shirou, Archer, Assassin, Saber, Sakura, Ilya, Rin... Yukika should probably be on there but I don't know her very well. Last two, let me just pick some random people. Shinji and Lancer? I don't know.

EDIT THE SECOND: Half done! Caster, Shinji, Saber, Ilya, and Assassin done, meaning I have Shirou, Archer, Sakura, Rin, and Lancer/whoever left.

I shouldn't read the Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni TV Tropes page right before going to bed again, y/n?

Anyway. Uh. School starts tomorrow. Yay. I'm thrilled.

When I said "I'm thrilled," the thrilled was in massive sarcasm quotes.

EDIT: Pimping ithurtsmybrain's latest submission post! That community was epic.

the melody me meme
l i v e j o u r n a l s o n g d e d i c a t i o n m e m e

Awesome-looking meme is awesome-looking.

( Blather about FSN. )

Less nit-picky detail: I need to know the story behind this Hollow Ataraxia CG. There is no way that cannot be slashy.

EDIT: In the prologue to Hollow Ataraxia, Issei refers to Kaede by her last name, no honorific. Hmm.

I have a question.

How do you roleplay a character who's been in a game, and the sequel to that game, and the anime based on the game and the manga based on the game, and who has a multitude of expressions in each...

...while only being able to use 15 userpics?

This may be what finally makes me go insane.

Really regretting blowing my money on doujinshi now...

( Whining. )

EDIT: Fixed now. Thank god for dads.

...haha, I suck.

What the.

I'm still not sure this if I'm dreaming this or what. I mean, the other entries - I knew I wasn't going to win, but-

Brb, going to get my cousin to pinch me.
