Well, today I bought a year of paid LJ and 6 months worth of 50 icons. Again, since I lost them a few days ago.

I filled up the first half with my icons, some old and some new, and filled up the second half with other people's, likewise old and new.

Best of all, I just discovered fullmetal_icons, where I got this cute icon, among others.

It's very addictive. But I have to warn you, also VERY spoilery. People never give out spoiler warnings for fairly significant bad evil spoilers.

as if there were any doubt...



Spike, the tall, blonde, magnificent sexy guy. He's
fun and dangerous, and smart and serious. He's
an amazing, devoted guy. He's good in bed, and
he fought to get his soul back, so you don't
have to worry about him turning into a
post-coital killer. You're lucky.


Angel or Spike? Which hybrid is right for you?

slighlty over-reactionary ranting ahead

::balks at this last comment... not the words themselves but at the presumptuousness and asineness of the purpose behind the comment itself::

Um, excuse me?

Okay, jackass, first things first.( ranting about people's presumptuousness )

Edit-- It looks like the person the Cowardly Commentor thinks I should credit IS NOT EVEN the original iconmaker.
Figures.
Cowardly Commentor: go the fuck away.

octopedingenue's package came in the mail today. Yay! I watched Fruits Basket episode 13 over lunch.


I adore episode 13... it is one of my favorite. It captures the great duality that is Fruits Basket: it has the funniest scene of the entire series, but it also has the most unsettling scene too.

The funniest scene of all of Furuba being, of course, the long class coridoor argument involving Yuki, Kyo, Tohru, Momiji, and particularly Hatsuharu and the class president. I laughed so much the first time I watched that scene that my mouth started to hurt from smiling. It sill gets giggles out of me-- I actually might put it as the funniest scene in any anime I've watched yet, or at least in the top three ranks. I :heart: Haru and his double personality so much. The English version was wonderfully done, too, just as funny as the original. This episode is one of the most well done of the dub.

The most unsettling scene of FB is, of course, Akito's confrontation with Yuki. I wouldn't say this is the saddest scene of the series (that comes later), but it is probably the darkest moment of the show. Particularly because the incident is not sugar-coated and skimmed over like Momiji's retelling of Hatori's eye being ruined, or Momiji's own story about his mother. Instead the audience has to stand there with Yuki and endure the pain along with Akito's creepy voice.

This show is so amazing. It's really one of the most well-written anime/manga series I've ever come across.
