sub_dividedFinished that Death Note fic -- Theoretically. Light VS L, old skool style. What I would most like to know is, are the parentheses too much? They were a temporary measure until I decided I liked them. Now I'm afraid they've taken over the fic.

sesame_seed. Her summary is a thing of beauty, and also she is a saint/pimp for offering the episodes for download, so leave her a comment! Chrissy, I got past my initial hesitation and now I am eagerly awaiting the next installment. I just hope it won’t have any actual combat in it. (I love this series, really I do. But it’s about genius military strategists and their strategies aren’t really genius, more like translations into space of standard 18th century troop formations. This didn’t bother me when I was reading the manga since I was free to skim or skip, but sitting down to watch twenty minutes of adequacy? Or, if it isn’t Yang or Siegfried or Reinhard on screen, incompetence? I want to yell at my computer screen, outer space has three dimensions! Use them, you morons! …fortunately the space battles aren’t really the point.)
Victorian Romance Emma manga and anime, courtesy ofoctopedingue. Come on, laugh at the title with me! Emma has no relation to Jane Austen’s Emma except that they live in approximately the same time period and deal with approximately the same subject (romance). You should skip the anime and download the manga, which is ten million times better. The manga moves faster, is more uniquely drawn, and best of all does not make the main love interest into an uninteresting wussy boy. Instead he’s an irresponsible wussy boy, haha. But endearing! Mostly, though, my love goes to Prince Hakim in all of his stock exotic, oversexed oriental, spoiled aristocrat, opium-addict glory.
•darkeyewolf has plotbunnies up for adoption! Good ones, too -- I almost feel like writng Hikaru/Sai now. Almost.
But, but. Ryoma’s bilingualism? I dunno, man. Lots of people are bilingual. In fact why don’t I make a poll:
[Poll #541725]
XD I’ll feel really stupid if everyone says no. In any case we can probably say he spoke Japanese at home, or else he’d have had a much harder time with the move. (With his mother, since Nanjiroh's Japanese would only have been good for tennis terms and insults (and only because "there aren't as many good insults in English"), probably.)
I was looking around my harddrive for new icons to upload, and found this:
