Appeal to HikaGo fans

petronia(Could not post this for hours as Internet was down, much hate!) Still on drabbles. As I try to think ahead on these - especially when more than one person requests the same or related topic - I find myself confronted with a... not so much dilemma as failure of imagination, actually.** So I thought I'd see what other people thought, o my flist:
We're unanimous that Touya Akira's hair is kind of lame, right?
If you could give him a different haircut, what would it be?
Alternately, if you were Hikaru and thought Touya's hair was kind of lame and were trying to convince him to do something different with it, what would you think was a good idea?

Someone asked for Asami x Takaba as well but she changed her mind. XD I like the pairing but it's superfluous for me to write it as other people have done such good jobs - so lazy omg! - well actually it's because I know what I would write about Takaba, and it's not what I or anyone else would look for in Viewfinder fic. It's a frustrating affliction, this occasional inability to write what I myself would want to read.
In the particular case of Viewfinder methinks the root cause is that I can't quite imagine a happy ending to the story, for usual definition of happy ending being "everyone likes where they are in life, no one is dead". Which is sort of the problem when you have main characters who are awful specimens of humanity. Asami and Feilong have the best chance of actually hashing something out, I think, where "something" is not a love affair but more like - uh - an agreement to cooperate on smuggling Burmese/Thai amphetamines to Japan, along with the illegal aliens to front them, handguns from mainland China, etc. (WTF HOW IS FURTHERING THE INTERNATIONAL DRUG TRADE IN EAST ASIA CONSTRUED AS A HAPPI ENDO) In the sense that Asami is a crime boss first and foremost, and Feilong should be but instead is being kind of... stupid. Currently.
Takaba is the issue. I like the kid, I don't want to see him lose his integrity. His relationship with Asami isn't good for him any way you parse - apart from the mindblowing sex yes okay understood due consideration given - but he doesn't intend to walk away, nor would Asami let him if he did, I mean he'd have to leave the country... oh wait.
Please not to point out that I'm thinking too hard and injecting too much unwelcome realism into the fictional construct. Trust me, I know. _o_

Re-read Sex Pistols from the beginning last night, as I was zipping up the directories for Tania and trying to figure out what she'd read and what she hadn't. The Yonekuni plot arc is really quite well-constructed - I see it now, that is, the first time I read chapters 1-4 my brain kept trying to crawl out my ears and hence I missed a lot. (Becky, I think what it is, is a lot of people actually encountered and read it on their own time, but never babbled on lj because... well. Then a couple of brave souls made mention, sl0r4ge commenced, and suddenly the rest discovered We Were Not Alone. In other words I blame![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

It's surprising to me how much I like Shiro, given that I don't usually go for that type at all (my incest squick is not so much if the pairing is related to each other in the story, as if the character reminds me of my male sibling of whom I have a very clear mental picture regardless of the fact that he doesn't exist. In other words I shy from picturing dorky nervous mild-mannered studious Asian boys with glasses in any sort of sexual situation, both in fiction and in real life). Maybe it needs to be straight-ahead BL instead of making me do the fannish legwork. Or maybe it's just that Shiro is way too tall to be any member of my family (too tall!? What about the EARS AND TAIL AND?!?).
Given what I'm reading and watching these days, it's ironic that May isn't going to be what was originally planned on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fst. XD Not that I see me making a Sex Pistols mix, but Wolf's Rain maybe - I have this album of acoustic pop sung in Inuktitut etc. It must be an extension of my only-remix-what-I-love thing, this largely futile impulse to make FSTs for anime series with Kanno Yoko soundtracks. Or maybe it's just that after playing the OST1 to death I want more of the same.

** Basically I am a BAD person to ask this question, as I had the same (varying only in inches of length) haircut for most of my life, and it looked amazingly like Touya Akira's without the bangs. Then again, I'm a girl.
