Utena/Anthy hurt/comfort fic. I read one earlier today and got all "eeee~" about it.

I find it amusing that those two have to be one of my favorite couples in anime OF ALL TIME </kanye> but they're two girls. And I still consider myself straight!

Anyway, I never really thought their gender really mattered. In Revolutionary Girl Utena, that matters way less than the feelings between the characters. As I'm sure I've said before, I think that's what I like about it. Love that transcends gender. That concept has always fascinated me way more than loving, or being attracted to the male gender.

Lately I have been thinking again about my ideas to continue Reborn Again. How I wish there was enough energy and inspiration in my body to do that now! I still need to heal, mentally, though. Everyone's worried about me, because I'm always so worn out, to the point I can't even keep up with my games and I have to keep taking mini-breaks from Dragonrealms.

Man, been so tired these past few days. I've only been up 8 hours or so and want to sleep some more. Maybe I'll finally even out and start waking up normal hours again. *crosses fingers*

I've also been watching this awesome anime that Clark sent Jon and me (real DVD copies. Cause he got them from work, he works at Media Blasters.) It's called Twelve Kingdoms. It's another take on a popular anime theme, the "person from real life Japan gets thrust into a fantasy world" (think Escaflowne, Fushigi Yuugi, etc.) Except I'd rather compare it to Escaflowne because I actually *liked* that series. :D

And Twelve Kingdoms is also very good. The mythology and even the setting associated with it, have some elements that remind me of why I like Exalted. Probably because it seems strongly inspired by Chinese mythology. As for the eponymous kingdoms, they are each ruled by a king or queen assisted by a holy creature, a kirin. (I love kirin! awww unicorns. *ducks*) The kirin chooses the ruler, and so long as the king/queen rules the land justly, it prospers. Otherwise the kirin grows sick, the crops go bad, people revolt, etc.

Jon and I watched the first arc involving how the Queen of Kei (who was originally from Japan) was crowned. Looking forward to seeing more... after I have some epic sleepz! All I did of note today was RP Ryshy going shopping with Alexsei in DR, edit the document I wrote last post, and watch Twelve Kingdoms. Yet to me, this is an ideal vacation. Who needs the real world? :P

I've made plenty of characters recently. Let me at least list them all (these are the characters I've made since Grace in Sorrow, and the new Brynja I play in FFRPG).

- Sheska Ironfist, Zenith Solar: my ex-dynast blind martial artist, borrowing bits from a character concept based on Shiho from Valkyrie Profile. Got rejected cause someone took the Zenith spot before me. :(
- Ishika Sui, Elvaan Ninja: He's an androgynous looking character whose specialty (besides dual-dagger wielding mayhem) is acting and disguise for the purpose of spying/undercover work.
- Irina, Viera Dark Knight: Conceived as an opposite of Bryn (who is a traditional Viera). This is a Viera rejected by the Wood for having an affinity toward Darkness. Also wields a HUGE SCYTHE (with +5 acc! oooh!)
- Zahra, Viera Spellbow: Yeah, I recycled a name. This is the character for the custom Final Fantasy game I'm playing. Very involved chargen, I created my own Job and Techniques/Spells attached to it!

Then I applied for a game run by one of my Academy players, a freeform game set in a middle eastern location. I decided to take over one of the major players in the political intrigue, a former NPC who I hopefully will start writing for soon. I liked how I wrote this one so I will share it. :)

Latest random RP idea: Utena-ish game. Thinking of running it in OVA system (not Original Video Animation but Open Versatile Anime RPG), but need to get a hold of the PDF.

I've been joining SO MANY FFRPG games lately (even a homebrew one that's neither d100 or d6, but some sort of funky mashup of every RPG I've ever played). Now that Academy is slowly dying, and my interest in my other games is becoming questionable, I just keep wanting to join games instead. To be fair, Outcastes is going a bit better lately, but I'm still worried about whether I'll still be up to running Five Coils after how much DRAMA it caused me.

You'd think I'd go and do something better with my life instead... :P

I have been exercising a bit more and going out a bit more but lately I'm having a lot of trouble due to over-sensitivity to loud noises. Like, I cringe when horns are honked, or people yelling, and just plain have to plug my ears if there's loud things like badly maintained engines, construction work, etc.) So that makes it hard to go anywhere, again. There's always SOME sort of reason.

I'm entirely too lazy with web-content lately. :( I've nearly stopped having the urge to even mess with it. Though I'll have to do something when Drupal 7 comes out though. I may even reset the site at that point, mostly because I no longer like the way my tags are arranged... I need to redo that, AGAIN and it would be way easier to do if I just restarted.

Though I could possibly also just go through the tags and try to consolidate them. Arrrgh, laziness.

On the other hand, I am possibly setting up a DokuWiki for my RPoL games. But that's easy stuff, mostly pasted content from the forums. Still doesn't solve my problems with running Dynastic Moon, and the hours upon hours I take to write my RPoL posts lately. :/

Well, it's another Tuesday I'll have to procrastinate on. *sigh* On the other hand, Sims 3 comes out today!!111oneeleven
