Shi Lin yo~~~n, I found something SD-ish to post. Wrote it so long ago I forgot it existed, which is a feat considering how long it is. XD XD Not exactly fic, and not tonight - I have to edit it down to comprehensibility - but you may find it fun. And take care of yourself, you hear?

(I've got to answer some email, now that my midterms are over. But I still have ten tons of homework to go. ^^;)

More bizarre character correspondences (score yourself a shoujo dork point for every sentence you follow in this paragraph): we suspect that Tsuyoshi-kun was what Brad Crawford was like before some sort of pubertal trauma! And that Kouji x Izumi = Sakuya, thus proving that the dayworkers at Storks & Cabbages, co. have quite the sense of humour!

Sakuya: *sings* My last night here for you... same old songs... just once more...

(Actually, Tan-chan posited Hotohori x Nuriko = Yuki. Hair, don't you know. I'd blow it off, if it weren't for the fact that in tLoN I reincarnated them in Tokyo as a high-flying producer/DJ and a bartender respectively.)

Alex: There *aren't* Minekura FFX doujinshi, not AFAIK. I'm just subscribing to Persona 2's time-honoured theory that if you spread a rumour with enough determination, it becomes true. ^_^;;; ...Well, she must have played FFX, as she's a gamer and 99.5% of Japanese gamers have played FFX, and don't you just see the Braska-Auron-Jecht dorky pilgrimage vector making her poing? Is the thing. The wishfulness factor on my end has to do with the trouble the vast majority of Japanese FFX fanartists runs into trying to reconcile their need for bishounen with the FFX character designs. Most of the time it's just wrong. UberGirlyUke!Auron and all that. I mean, I personally have a great fondness for aniparo - and I've been known to state in print that I'll believe it's Duo Maxwell as long as you have a recognizable braid on your stick figure - but you can't show me a picture of Angelina Jolie and tell me that it's Billy Bob Thornton, 'cos that shit won't fly, yo. ^^; One thing about Minekura, she can turn out characters who are terribly pretty and yummy bikei and yet somehow scruffy and recognizably masculine at the same time. I can *see* her FFX chara designs in my mind's eye; I'd draw them myself, if I had any hope of reproducing her style. I don't, and so I crave her doujinshi.

Even though she doesn't draw doujinshi.

(Maa, ne. All I want for my birthday and so forth. What are the odds?)

(Billy Bob Thornton played a gig at the Spectrum the other night, because every time he comes to a city to shoot he gives an interview to a local paper, and the Gazoo's reporter suggested he give a concert in Montreal, and so he did. Bill Clinton was there, of all people - Arkansan, don't you know, and in town for a speech. Supposedly Billy Bob sang great. I'm really starting to like this man.)
