watching and reading

[cimorene]

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 heard about that... bookshop was saying something about... niou and yagyuu... body-swapping? :-? in fact we were arguing because she was like "yes! they do!" and i was like "but i just watched it LAST NIGHT and they didn't! how would they do it anyway! they have totally different hair!!" and then she said it was just in the manga. or something. and she was mightily confused as well. so, you know, yet another piece of ineffably tenipuri crack to look forward to! :) ♥ the canon that keeps on giving.

It's in Genius...202 to 208, I believe, their game. And then Genius 240 is pure fangirling indulgence of Yagyuu by Konomi. ;D
