I'm going to clean out my deviation alerts and messages. My apologies for the works/comments/journal entries I didn't get to comment on. I'll try to do better this time but, well, I'm busy (not really--just hooked on roleplaying again).

Meanwhile, for your viewing pleasure, please check out this cosplay slideshow-video I made from pictures of our Weiss Kreuz crossplay group (debuted last...April? I was struck with sudden nostalgia, lolz.). It's currently uploaded to my multiply site (username: shiwa) in two sizes: 8.1MB and 21.8MB. The 21.8MB one is of better quality, of course, and you don't really have to download them to watch them.

I also have a youtube account (username: xcerpted). The video is uploaded here.

Hakkai's rp-er will be gone for a week since she's moving from USA to Japan. T.T And oh, how I hate sch**l...

S'all. Ja.

-Ken'yuu (Yohji Kudo aka 'blondie'.)

Warning: The following is not a Burial review. In fact, it doesn't even have the would-be sense of rantings or fangirl ravings. Lolz.

SPOILERS ALERT!!

-LINK-
From the opening vid. Kouryuu is SOOOOOOOOO cute!! I also love the part where he's running through the woods like he has no destination in mind--just running!!

-LINK-
Ukoku Sanzo's first appearance in the OVA. Well, actually, the thing starts off with him, but as Dr. Nii. ANYway, he's SO cool and I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO happy I cosplayed Ukoku Sanzo here.^_^

-LINK-
Before he became a Sanzo, Ukoku/Dr. Nii's name was Ken'yuu. He's top of the class, but your regular rascal. He looks so innocent here, no? Lolz.

-LINK-
When Komyou was a little younger, he wore his hair in a ponytail instead of a braid. He looked so...neat.x_X Lolz. Oh, the big guy next to him is another Goudai Sanzo, Ken'yuu's master. Large as he is, he's actually the most Sanzo-like of all five Sanzos I've seen (Goudai, Komyou, Ukoku, Genjyo and Kami-sama).O.o Also, not visible here, but he wears the same gloves as Komyou, Ukoku and Genjyo...is tight-leather REALLY the standard clothes of Sanzos?xD

-LINK-
In their first meeting, Komyou watches Ken'yuu and muses that he reminds him of Kouryuu (young Genjyo Sanzo, who at that time was, like, around four years old). Ken'yuu asks him if they look alike and Komyou answers, not at all (and I have to agree, they don't look a thing alike). Maybe Kouryuu will grow up just like Ken'yuu...and yeah, he did, inheriting the broom.xD

-LINK-
Ken'yuu sitting like the other disciples inside the temple. *shrug* Nothing. Just found it amusing. He's got a nice form, top student and all.

-LINK-
Goudai Sanzo might be large, but he's SO weak!! Ken'yuu SO owns him!! Haha!!

-LINK-
-LINK
...but Komyou Sanzo owns HIM. Jeez. The old man is incredibly strong. I wonder how a bunch of youkai thieves could kill him? Maybe he was really just out to traumatize poor Kouryuu/Genjo Sanzo (just kidding. But, honestly, watching Burial will make you think the Sanzos are sooooo weird....).

-LINK-
I love the conversation between Komyou and Ken'yuu. And Ken'yuu looks so cool locked up, heh.

-LINK-
The OVA is SO much bloodier than the series. I guess 'coz it's an OVA and they don't have to worry (much) about censor and stuff. Guess they're sticking closer to the manga. I've read the entire Saiyuki manga and part of Reload and it's a lot more bloody than the series. (Hakkai rips his eye out and tosses it to the ground in the manga, he doesn't in the series. 'Nuff said.)

-LINK-
...REALLY bloody. Komyou's line is my favorite in the chapter, "Yes. I'm certain of it...Ken'yuu was crying."

...So much for Ukoku Sanzo. Haha. Up next (and much longer) is Genjyo Sanzo's story (before he even meets up with Goku! Woot!). Here's a preview of sorts (not that we're running on anything here):

-LINK-
Honestly, with how messy--bloody messy--Sanzo used to fight, and that's for four years, he should be a youkai by now like Hakkai!! Oh, but you have to admit he looks great in casual-y black robes.^_^

I LOVE SAIYUKI!!

-Ken'yuu (my new self-coined nickname. Haha.)

(But what the heck?! I can understand HysokaXGon in the first musical...well, not really...but MillukiXKurapika?!?!?!?! Jeez...and then it becomes HysokaXKurapika.x_X)

I stand by what I said that this is much funnier than the first musical. Some of the fight scenes are better too, with Zenon and Silva both doing stunts (Zenon and Silva Vs Hysoka so rocks!). However, even with a lot of dances (The entire cast danced at some point or another, really! See spoilers~.) and choreography thrown in, the musical's production still seems a little worse than what was done in the first. I don't know...I still love it though. *cough*fanservicegalore*cough*

SPOILER ALERT!

It's not half as funny as screencaps but oh well--

Hysoka's dance

Dance 1
Dance 2

And if you think that's weird, why don't you check out Illumi dancing?

Illumi Dance 1
Illumi Dance 2
Illumi Dance 3

Killua: hey, let's get out of here. I'll show you around.
Leorio: there's a hot spring around, right? (to Kurapika) let's strip and bath naked
Kurapika: no thanks
Leorio: why?! let's go in the hot spring

The following needs no caption except "Let's all thank Kurapika."

Saa...and the song was pretty serious too. Jeez.

-Kura

P.S. How do you post pics directly into your journal? img src doesn't work.

Gon: (to Killua) I want a different combination!
Leorio: (to Kurapika) I want a different combination too!
Kurapika: (to Leorio) I don't remember being in a combination with you!

*stretches* Aah! Except for some minutes in part 9 I really couldn't download (tried about half a dozen times), I've finally finished the first Hunter X Hunter Musical!! It's sooooooo sweet~! Yatta!! All HxH fans should definitely see it! Really, really, really!

I can't wait to see the second musical, "Nightmare of Zaoldyeck". I guess they chose to focus it on Killua (and his family) this time--I guess because I only saw Illumi at the first scene before my connection failed again-- 'cause Kil wasn't given much exposure in the first musical. Why that is, I don't want to say, 'coz that'll spoil the greatest on-going joke of the entire musical (and believe me, I want, no, am dying, to spoil it ). Lolz.

*dies* I need a copy of this!!

---------------------------------------
*SPOILER ALERT*

Because I can't help it (lolz), here's a part from Part 2 of the Nightmare of the Zaoldyeck, the second HxH Musical:

(Outside the Hades' Gate, Zaoldyeck territory)

Kurapika: But, how do we get inside?
Gon: oh right... *shouts* Excuse me!
Nothing happens.
Leorio: *puts down briefcase* That won't work! *walks to the gate and knocks on it, then bows slightly* 'Scuse me.
Kurapika: Hey!
Gon: Say it LOUDER!
Leorio: Alright, here I go! *poses* PLEASE! PLEASE!
Gon: *walks up to the gate and pushes* No good, won't open.
Leorio: Move. *spits on hands and runs to the gate--pushes* It didn't budge.
Kurapika: Why don't you both push?
Gon and Leorio: That's right. One, two. *pushes*
Kurapika: Why don't you two pull?
Gon and Leorio pull.
Kurapika: Maybe it opens up? *makes raising motion with hands*
Gon and Leorio crouch and tries to raise the gate.
Kurapika: Alright. *victory sign* You two, do a suicide body slam!
Leorio: *stands up* Let's do it with three people! Three people! Since there are three people here!
Kurapika: Fine.
Leorio: Man...
All three line-up.
Leorio: Alright, let's go.
Leorio and Kurapika: One, two! *half-run half-jump forward--*
Gon: *raises hand* Let's ask someone!
*--and falls to the floor*

Lolz! Kurapika giving them directions and how they follow him is SOOOOOOOOO funny! Especially the last one: "Alright, you two, do a suicide body slam!"xD

The Rules

The 1st player of this 'game' starts with the Topic. '6 weird habits/ things/ hates about yourself.'

People who get 'Tagged' MUST write a Journal about their 6 weird habits/ things/ hates as well & state this rule clearly.....

In the end you need to choose the next 6 people to be 'Tagged' & list their names....

I have more than enough to fill this up, I tell you:

1. I can cross my eyes for extended periods of time and have freaked many people with it

2. I haven't eaten rice for more than a year now (but no, I'm not slim, 'coz I get carbo from bread and cookies instead).

3. I once stayed inside an anime specialty shop for almost an hour after purchasing something, just because they played a Saiyuki disc while I was paying (and I stayed til all the tracks were finished as if I don't have all of them, and more, at home).

4. There's a point in 'being sleepy' when I can't lie and get slightly more talkative.

5. 85% of the time, I don't remember that I've talked to/chatted with somebody in the state stated in number 4.x_X

6. My mother's a dentist, my oldest brother's a dentist, my sister's a licensed physical therapist-turned-dentist and my second brother's a physical therapist-turned-doctor. Me? I'm taking Computer Science right now.

My brother's alarm clock is ringing and it's loud and when had they started making clocks that never stop? What happened to snooze and that five-minute delay thing we get in our cellphones? (Or I guess that came after this stupid clock of my brother's?)

Anyway, enough about the alarm clock (though it is rather annoying). Today was the sign-up for L.E.A.P. It's an annual program in La Salle where the different organizations/clubs organize 'classes' for students and students attend one of these classes in the steed of their own for a day. Last year, I was stuck watching Moulin Rouge and Forrest Gump in a film showing, 'coz Nikki and I though the Combat Knife class (don't ask) had been cancelled and we found out there were still some slots left in the Fanfiction writing class around ten minutes after it began. The film showing was...rather mind-numbing.

Not that this year's any different. I've joined the "Learning the Art of Zipping" class. No, it's not about the different ways you can place zippers on clothes, though I wish (I'm a cosplayer, bear the weirdness of that last statement). It's about playing/using zipcords(?). I saw them one time in the TV and they looked like fun. Well, at least, I think that's what the class is about...

It's not my first choice though. My first choice doesn't have any slots left--the class on POKER!! Lolz! Now there's an interesting class. To tell the truth, I really have never played poker against anyone. I learned the game from several books in the library before, but that was back in high school and I barely remember anything now....

There were a lot of other funny-sounding classes but there's this one class I would have taken if I didn't think the speakers would just bore us to death--"Gay Literature". Or was that "Gay Fiction"? I'm not sure. Just that it has "Gay" in it. Lolz.

*cough* Believe it or not, there is actually gay literature in our library, a book entitled "Men on Men". Before anyone starts thinking anything, I did not search for it. I just saw it on the return rack below a book I found interesting and picked up. Needless to say, I picked that one up too. Lolz.

Errm...yeah, non-yaoists will do well not to continue reading this journal entry. I'm amazed you even got this far--the title alone should have warded you off.

This morning, I read a fairly new Saiyuki fanfic entitled 'The Complexities of Yaoi'. I doubt you'll find it at fanfiction.net, so don't bother. It's, uh, lemon. Hey, I'm of legal age, you know! And, as the author, 'cupnjava', placed it, "All characters presented in a sexual situation are over the age of consent ".

Lucky (or unlucky?) you, I'm not going to get into details here. Basically, Goku just wonders why he is called 'bitch' (I've never really heard him called that ever before anywhere, must be an American thing or something) and Hakkai teaches him all about yaoi, including its (really basic) 'rules'--which I shall present to you now:

RULES for DECIDING who the B*TCH is in YAOI by cupnjava

“There’s this thing called yaoi. It’s, practically, a rite of passage passed down from one generation of fangirls to the next. In the eyes of some fans it’s held to a sacred level. They see it as a celebration of the beauty and equality of male-male relationships.”

1 The Height Rule - whoever is taller is the one who tops and whoever is shorter bottoms
2 The Hair color Rule - The one with the darker hair tends to top more
3 The Age Rule - often trumping the hair color rule, the age rule states that whoever is younger bottoms
4 The 'Wordly' Rule - the rules does that not have an official name (). Also known as the 'experience' rule: naiveté presents the personality as uke; confidence and experience is a critical part of being a seme

Again, these were written by cupnjava, not me. To further explain, each rule is presented with...errm...'scenarios'. Lolz. Just leave a comment if you want a link to the fic and I'll...err...message... ]]> ~Hareta http://Hareta.deviantart.com/journal/11525722/ http://Hareta.deviantart.com/journal/11525722/ Mon, 22 Jan 2007 04:08:32 PST .<

Anyway---

As I'm not content with merely making it a favorite, I'm going to advertise uber gorgeous fanart here! I absolutely LOVE Saiyuki and this definitely made my morning! (Only that, because my day was terrible and not even a terrific Saiyuki fanart could console me. >.< ) Hakkai with wings in all his angsty glory!! Surprisingly, the pair of wings is not my favorite part of this piece--but the small cross! I don't know. The cross really just struck me.

If you like it, please check out the ones of Sanzo, Gojyo and Son Goku too.^.^ With Sanzo, his back is shown and he's holding one of his wings in one hand, having just ripped it off himself. That is so typical Sanzo, isn't it?xD Gojyo has a pair of wings, both red but different in appearance. He's a half-youkai, half-human after all! Lastly, Son Goku doesn't have any wings. Lolz. Because he is neither human nor youkai nor god. He gets fake wings though, and looks damn happy and content with them. His wings are like a wanna-be of Sanzo's. Aww. How cute!!

Yes, believe it or not, I'm listening to the Team Rocket song. And have been for hours now--like yesterday. I'm seriously going crazy here! What's with the Pokemadness all of a sudden?!

It all started when I saw Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz cosplayers saying an altered Team Rocket motto ("To be the hottest within our nation", "Silver-haired men blast off at the speed of light!"). Then figuring I could use it for--Hi-mi-tsu. I don't want to spoil anyone.^^

Then all of a sudden....

In my INTRIST class, my classmates are watching an MTV of the Pokemon Op Song on Youtube.

I suddenly find myself and my classmates singing said Pokemon Op Song in our classes and random places/times.

...and the Team Rocket motto of course.

My *older* cousin says he has an emulator(sp?) and managed to buy a disc(?) with all versions of the GameBoy Pokemon games in it (Sapphire, Yellow, Ruby...I lost track).

My nephew won't shut up about it last night. He sang (more like recited) the Pokemon op thing and recited/sang the Team Rocket motto. Then he won't stop quizzing me--Who does Jigglypuff evolve to? Bulbasour? (and I actually [i]managed[/i] to answer him even though the last (and first) time I got hooked on this series was fifth grade. What the heck..).

I have around 8 music files, all on Team Rocket.

Lil Rain advertised about a small halloween party at their place. When we chatted, Pokemon was one of the first choices for cosplaying. In fact, when I brought it up, she said her lil bro is doing Ash.

I am considering doing a for-fun James with my Auel wig. (and maybe asking Scha to be Jesse since she has red hair, but I dare think she'll kill me)

I am searching James pics now.

I saw a Pokemon fanart as the first under "Newest" when I opened Deviantart.-_-

...etc. (forgotten and thank goodness)

*sigh(-duck!)*
