Got 3 new Cowboy Bebop icons thanks to kenzier... who just introduced herself to me on LJ as a fellow lover of Spike/Buffy, Vach/Meryl, and Faye/Spike. So I investigated said journal, and while she has less than 5 entries up, one is a huge post with about 100 icons of above said pairings, and another is the wallpaper currently on my comp. And this icon ::points up and to the left:: just amused me.

So, welcome to LJ kenzier. And go watch this Bebop vid, because it's crazy frelling awesome and I have to rec it to people.

CHapter 31 came out the day before yesterday! It's great. I'm on a tension/angst/love/drama high from that fic. I'm glad you liked them. I sort of consider it to be all one fic, and it's one of the best fanfics I've read.

I think the coolest thing about it is the Ed characterization. Damn impressive. I mean, the author not only managed to get inside her crazy head, but also provided her with a convincing bit of angst.

Gaaah. I know. One of my favorite chapters was the chapter where Ed tells Faye that she needs to find a place to belong and be happy. For a chapter that had a lot of humorous lines from Ed's thoughts, it was also incredibly moving. Ed's angst and her frustration with the heightened tension among the crew members, and her desire for everything to be good... its very convincing. One of the reasons the fic stands out so much to me is that although Spike and Faye are the focus of the plot, Jet and Ed's characterization is... it's like they're behaving as they would in such a situation, as opposed to being used within the story just to push things along. They're not there to be a plot device... they're there to be themselves. Even her original characters, like the actor that Faye stays with near the latter chapters of Leadbelly... even they are well-developed and convincing.

I'm totally convinced, by the way, that Spike is Ezekiel reborn. I know Sci-Fi isn't really a part of the Bebop verse except for a little bit of psychic behavior, but... I'm just so very sure of it. I think it's one of those things that the audience is supposed to understand and pick up on that the characters do not.

The vid is awesome. Makes me want to watch it again, just thi
