watching and reading
1. since i last posted, i have been watching tenipuri really fast. i've finished the senbatsu and rikkai arcs and now there are only about fifty episodes left till the end of the series. i have fifteen days to watch them all before we leave for paris. i want to be finished by then because even though i plan to burn eps and bring them along to watch with
cuddlepint, we'll have to start at the beginning there. anyway, in the last two days i watched about thirty episodes, which is near the limit of how much tv or anything i can stand to watch in that period of time. it's something about my brain that greatly prefers reading to watching, i guess.
2. which brings me to reading! i am pretty much out of tenipuri fic, with the exception of rikkai (which is because until yesterday i hadn't seen the rikkai arc, but i'm not enthusiastic about it anyway). i mean, i haven't gone looking for fic that breaks my otps (that would be tezuryo and golden pair and silver pair), but i've methodically hunted down everything i could find for a lot of pairings. my del.icio.us bears witness to all the reading i have done in this fandom - silver pair, oshitari/gakuto, atobe/jiroh (and i'm still baffled by this pairing since it seems to be based completely in fanon, but it's so funny that i can't help liking the idea of it a lot anyway, even if in practice it's not particularly good), kamio/shinji, mizuki/yuuta. i even went hunting jyousei shounen and rokkaku fic the other day, and there was hardly any. i think i am truly at the bottom of the barrel (aside from rikkai, of course). this is sad, since reading my way through communities and archives is a habit that i kind of rely on in between doing other things, like reading and writing seriously and watching things and reloading my friendslist. it's almost a compulsion.

I'll have fic by the end of the week, hopefully - I'm sending you the TakaFuji in a few hours, since I FINALLY got the break in it I needed.
Just wait until you meet Kevin! (have you started the American arc yet?)

TAKAFUJI. YAY. and klöajföskldj kish just posted some so this is like takafuji week!
also, i am totally willing to pledge to bring jyousei shounen onto the map with you (even if you reject my beloved kajimoto/wakato!!! :(( ♥), but i'm not sure about rokkaku. what i really, really want is davide/bane, but there's no way to write davide's puns without knowing japanese, i think.

TakaFuji clearly needed its own week! hee!
ksgjasg I can try kajimoto/wakato. ^_^ i just want kajimoto/ANYTHING UNDER THE SUN. *_* kdhlkdhd I have no idea why I'm fascinated by him. I think it's his overall seriousness and gaynesses. if jyousei weren't such a serious team, I think he and Tezuka would have a lot in common by trying to control crazy teams. hee. I would adore davide/bane (DAVIDE ♥). I'd just try and work around his puns, somehow. (OMG, WAIT TILL YOU SEE DAVIDE'S DOUBLES MATCH WITH OSHITARI IN THE SENBATSU CAMP. IT IS BEYOND HILARIOUS! ♥ ♥)

Now all we have to do is figure out how to make bad puns in Japanese...

Think we could beg

Actually, on the subject of Jousei Shounan, I think I prefer the manga version where they don't even exist. -.-; That sounds so bad. I'm a manga whore anyway, but the Midoriyama arc gives you a lot of insight into Ryoma's relationship with Nanjiroh, the way Nanjiroh sees him, and how Ryoma got to be the way he is.

(Actually, I started off indifferent to them, but by the end of the arc I LUVRED them!)

But, since you don't feel the Rikkai love, I think you'll love the arc from the Seigaku side. Heh. :S
