It occurred to me...

[whitereflection]

...for some unknown reason, that the snow over fall colors thing going on ouside greatly reminds me of a Frosted Shredded Wheat. Er, or something like that.

And I'm trying hard, so very hard, to keep calm and not start spitting about the Tsuzuki/Muraki ficcage that's appeared recently on Clampesque. I don't intend to read it, thankyouverymuch, but certainly not with the tone implied by the title. I'm sorry, the whole concept of the two together is just so damned wrong anyway, but to have Muraki as any sort of victim-uke just makes me wanna twitch. Sorry, but he's the bad guy, the villain, he hurts and rapes and kills people, I refuse to see him in any victim role, just because some git wants me to feel sorry for him in any way. And even if it's not as a victim thing, no way in hell would Tsuzuki make Muraki his uke, no way in hell (or choose to be uke to Muraki's seme)--not *even* going into how OOC that would be, lets at least assume that Tsuzuki has some taste and/or loyalty to/love for Hisoka.

It's bad enough that the YnM fandom is obsessed with Tatsumi/Tsuzuki, at least that's hinted at at times by the mangaka (though really, folks trying to keep it canon should remember that it's unrequited/unconsummated, and in the *past*). But the whole Mu/Tsu or Tsu/Mu thing is just *not* there, unless you count some sort of NCS situation. Because, again, Muraki's *not* a good person. He is evil. Evil evil evil, and he likes being that way. Not grey, not antihero, not noble-elegant-whatever, *evil*. Yes, I am a card-carrying, flag-waving, banner-unfurling, shout-it-across-the-mountaintops member of the "Murakis are Bad, M'kay?" Society, and I'm damned proud of it. (And no, I don't think that a bad childhood excuses any of it--Tsuzuki's and Hisoka's and a lot of other people's childhoods were bad, and *they* don't end up being evil, nor do they allow it to make them such.)

...er. I was *trying* to keep calm about it. Eh. Think the weird fic with *fluffy* bits pertaining to Mu/Tsu sent me over the edge. Sorry, there will be no fluff between those two. It's *not* in character, in timeline, in canon--but the most important thing is it's not *in-character* and if you're not in character, why the hell are you bothering with fanfic anyway?

...er. Let's try remaining calm again, shall we? Right. *sighs* Anyway.



Autumn Snow

Shivering beneath
a patchwork leaf-quilt, Earth adds
a thick, white blanket.




U2
All I Want Is You

You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want
Your story to remain untold

But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say you'll give me
A highway with no one on it
Treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night

You say you'll give me
Eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say you want
Your love to work out right
To last with me through the night

You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold

All the promises we break
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You...all I want is...
You...all I want is...
You...all I want is...
You...


U2
October

October
And the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear
What do I care

October
And kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall
But you go on...and on...

If fan-fic writers remained in character Akuma-chan would never have anything to write about--and poorly, I might add.

So, just think of that when you wonder why they can't stay in character. XD

fanfiction is horrible that way. I've been through tons of the stuff, and it's like finding a needle in a hay stack to find one good one out of all the others that aren't so good. People seem to throw out characterization first. It's really frustrating. And you're totally right.. fluff.. between those two is just... so very wrong... MAYBE, if they spend chapters and chapters trying to develop up to that point, but I think I'd have a bias against them no matter what. *sigh*

It's a shame. A damn shame. That's why some people don't read fanfics at all. But really good ones can be so *good*

This is off topic, but how in the world did you make such a beautiful layout for your LJ? I feel so old fashioned and lame now. ^^;

[juushinkan.livejournal.com]

Isn't it obvious? I took posession of my friend's soul and forced them into designing it for me through blackmail. I myself am about the worst you'll ever see at html. Small woodland creatures could do a better job. I hold the pencil not the code.

Don't feel old fashioned though. I like your layout! And you aren't lame!

[kenjimurasame.livejournal.com]

Ahh, I see..yes, those HTML friends are great to have. Except I don't have any yet that don't know the slight basics; thanks tho, it's nice to get a compliment from a ultra-layoutted person like yourself. XD
