slashy vid rec
I feel somewhere between traumatized and in love right now.
I just watched a pretty good Inuyasha vid to "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails, the main premise of which seems to be Inuyasha being pursued by Deadly Medeival Drag Queen... and half the scenes have InuYasha wounded or in human form. It seems to range from humor to serious sexy effort.
What, are these people trying to get to me? Now they're making me think slashy Inuyasha/other thoughts. Which, I assure you, was not something I have ever done until this moment.
It's not fair! Taking advantage of my weak point (hint: wounded and sexy and glaring guys and licking bloody lips)... ever since![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sisabet made that damn "Closer" vid to Spike/Angel all chained up and hurting, I've not been able to think pure happy het thoughts about that song! Now to be taunted with this too...
The only thing that really distracted me about the vid was the subtitles, but since the whole thing is spoilery and half-focuses on a character I've never even seen yet, the subtitles weirdly helped the viewing.
EDIT: Rewatching. MMMmmm... human IY is sexy. Never thought that before. Guess he just needed the right theme music to get his thang on. And you know, this whole vid is pretty funny.
I've probably been ruined for any other IY slash pairings now, though. Someone's going to ask me, "Hey, if Inuyasha were to get with another guy, who do you think it'd be? Miroku, Kouga? Naraku?"
And I'd be forced to say "No, NEVAAAAAH! He's saving himself for the Deadly Medeival Drag Queen! Haven't you seen the video?"

maybe it's just the song, and I'd love any pairing to it? Who can say...
Okay I am definitely, definitely in love with this vid. That clip near the end of head-on view IY riding on Kiara swinging the Tetsusaiga is fucking cool. And the Deadly Medeival Drag Queen's character design/look reminds me of Nuriko from Fushigi Yuugi, my all-time favorite anime character. A Nuriko who has been put on too many medications, was dropped on his head as a baby, was turned evil, and was dropped into the IY world, of course. Still, in love with vid!

Oh dear. I've gone and fallen in love with an anime again. Episode 1.
What is it this time?
Naruto.
Why do you like it?
I have no idea. Except yes, I do. But it can't be put into words you see.
What is so particularly cool about it then?
Well... it has the best (and loveliest) end-credit sequence I've ever seen in an anime series before. And the fight music is kick-ass. Like the music in Kill Bill is kick-ass.
That's it? End credits and some score?
NO! No. It's....
Nope, I can't explain it. Except that it went from funny to dramatic as fast as a Trigun episode can. And it was surprising! I don't get really really surprised by a plot turn in anime near enough, so when it happens it's like finding a soul mate. I have to hold tight to it and glomp it and snuggle it with love.
Is there anything you *don't* like?
Sure. There's a few flaws. And the character designs are a little too Digimon / FLCL for me. And really this isn't even the normal kind of storyline I enjoy in anime.
But... you don't understand. There's so much more to love than there is not to love. You have to see it. I defy anyone to watch this show and not find something to like about it.

Turn up the volume, doll!
New pajamas are not true pajamas until they've been broken in by a good dance in front of the mirror.
There is absolutely no better song to dance to in pajamas than All That Jazz.

It's odd, the sensory details you associate with a person in your life. I associate my grandmother with salt-shakers.
I stood in front of my open fridge a few moments ago in a dark kitchen, and was looking at the small bowl of eggs that I'd hard-boiled a few hours earlier. I imagined taking them to work tomorrow to eat one or two on my break; I thought that I'd have to ask one of the stores in the food court of the mall for salt packs, and that maybe this time I should take my own salt instead.
And then I was nine years old again, sitting at the base of the black stone statue in the park in front of the downtown San Jose Superior Courthouse, watching my grandmother and her hands pull out a skinny, clear glass salt-shaker covered in a paper towel at the top and secured with a rubber band, watching her sprinkle it onto the hard boiled egg while I ate a rye bread sandwhich. She was telling me that statues were wonderful places to sit and have lunch.
I grabbed a diet coke from the fridge, closed the door, and thought "I want to see Grandma."
But reality came back, and I remembered that it nearly eleven, that she was probably sleeping, tired at the least, and I could talk to her on Monday.
I'm feeling a bit solemn, now.
Edit: with help from some external nudging, I called my grandmother and told her I was thinking of her, despite the late hour. Now I feel like more like Wesley in AtS's Legacy, except for the shooting part and a lingering desire to hug.
