Went with clearday_4ever to see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen earlier (we actually caught the 12:45 showing~♥).

It was beyond awesome. Like, CAPSLOCK AWESOME. Light years above the first movie kind of awesome.

( Let us review a few of the highlights... )

So, now that I've finally gotten the first few parts loaded (damn you, dial-up!), I'm off to read ficcage that clearday_4ever has been reccing to me for forever. And fiddle around on y!Gallery for some art. Mmm...Holo forms... *licks hotness*

And I really need to make icons of movie one. Especially Bee/Sam/Mikaela OT3.

Dear FanFiction.Net,

These days, I mostly just read from your site. I let things get backlogged and start posting fic one after another until I'm up-to-date. So when I was actually on the ball and posted my new Code GEASS fic, what exactly do you think happened?

Quotation marks, apostrophes, ellipses... All of it, STRIPPED! The whole reason I upload in .html is because uploading in .doc always results in ULTRA-MESSY-everything-underlined-WTF-ery!

I know things can change in a couple of months, but this? What the hell, FFN?

Especially when the most warning that's given in the News section is:

Please note we do not recommend submitting stories as html (.html) files.

Just. Even for you, FFN. This? NOT COOL.

No Love,
Annoyed Non-Fan

Title: Countdown
Rated: PG-13
Warnings: Genderswap! As in, girl!Lelouch. Or Lulu, as the case may be. ^.^ Angst, romance of a het nature.
Fandom: Code GEASS
Challenge: lover100
Prompt: 044 - Death.
Spoilers: The ending of 02x25, Re; (although this is set before).
Pairings: Jeremiah Gottwald x Lelouch vi Britannia (Lelouch Lamperouge)
Summary: Jeremiah’s loyalty to and love for his Empress knew no equal, especially in her final hours.
Author's Notes: Dedicated to niennasilimaure for writing the fic that endeared me to this pairing. I’m not so fond of Jeremiah/Lelouch, but Jeremiah/Lulu? OH, YES. *makes grabby hands*
Disclaimer: All things Code GEASS belong to Sunrise and Bandai. Grassy only lays claim to the plot.



( “Will you hear a request from me, Jeremiah Gottwald?” )

See this post for my list of Code GEASS genderswapped character names.

So, Code GEASS. Great series, interesting fandom. Especially when it spawns the creation of a community such as luluko_lovers. It's a genderswap comm, revolving around nothing but Lelouch. As a girl.

Grassy, being who Grassy is? ADORES this. I just have one issue- the names.

Yes, I understand why Lelouch becomes Luluko (and Suzaku becomes Suzako, etc.), but it. Just doesn't work for me. So I decided to compile a list of CG characters and the names I would use were the character of the opposite gender. If nothing else, it's a handy little guide for those who may read my CG fics in the future. (And I do have several~ planned. Especially since lover100 allows genderswap.)

( This will probably be undergoing random updates as the list grows... )

After many an attempt to fix the bugs in the previous layout, Grassy has decided to just give it up. When I got it just right in Firefox, it was crap in IE and vice versa, so I just scrapped it all and started editing a flexible squares layout. But since I still adore this header beyond belief, it's sticking around for a while.

Now I've just got to finish the rest of my To-Do list, but I'm not sure what to tackle first: clearing through my tags list or clearing up my friends list. Decisions, decisions.

...after that, I suppose I should go back to backing up my fic on IJ...

Fandom: Gundam 00
Pairings/Characters: Setsuna F. Seiei. Tieria Erde + Lockon Stratos (Neil Dylandy), but can be read as gen along the lines of canon.

Title: Problem Solving

Prompt: (Week 1) Neil Dylandy rescues Tieria Erde from some kind of trouble

Summary: Lockon helps Tieria out of a sticky situation. Tieria might have been grateful, had the help not been more trouble than it was worth.

OH- OH, ALL MY STARS AND SKITTLES SQUAD AND MECH THAT I WORSHIP.

GUNDAM 00 SERIES FINALE. EPIC ENDING IS EPIC.

AND I WILL GO ON MORE, WITH SPOILERISHNESS SQUEE-ING AND WHATNOT. BUT NOT UNTIL AFTER I MARATHON THIS SEXY SERIES ALL OVER AGAIN.

...I'LL LIKELY EVEN GO AHEAD AND WRITE A BIT ABOUT MY THOUGHTS ON EVERY FRELLING ONE.

BECAUSE I ADORE THIS SERIES JUST THAT MUCH.

BUT FOR NOW, OFF I GO TO THE KINK MEME!
SLEEP? WHO NEEDS SLEEP? I HAVE GUNDAM!

New layout finally. Just had to get the right inspiration combined with the right graphics.

This time around, we STILL have Gundam 00 (of course!), but this time of the absolutely delicious pairing of Ribbons Almark x Tieria Erde. I OTP them SO HARD after 2x08, which still remains my favorite episode of all time. Originally I was going to use a screencap of the episode, but could never get quite what I wanted, so I decided to use that for my profile image. And when I stumbled across this scan I just knew it was The One. UNMEI DA!

It's very shockingly pink and pale orange, with some white to balance things out a bit. I wanted to fit more green and purple (such pretty hair colors~) into things, but the whole layout looked too busy afterward. Even so, I find I rather enjoy the color scheme.

There are still some glitches here and there, but can mostly be ignored. *shrugs* It happens when you go from a layout with an image 400x400 pixels large to one that's 900x500 pixels. I'll probably be tweaking with the coding a bit more to figure it out.

Haven't changed the S1 mood theme, though, because I don't know of anyone who's made a S2 theme. T_T


Now, I just need to finish up the new layout I'm making for clearday_4ever. I'm partway through the coding issues, but there's still a bit to go.


And, when that's done, I really need to make new layouts for my icon community (the original one on LJ and its IJ mirror).

I have no major quibbles about the translations, especially as they're not really taming Graham's blatant mechasexuality. I would have pitched a bitch fit the likes of which Tieria has never known before if they had.

However.

Voices are still BEYOND lame. As in icky-ick eww~ lame.

Marina-sama sounds so- so- GAGH! And my precious Shirin! NOOOOOOOO~ TT____TT Grassy does NOT approve! *bares teeth*

PLUS! The scene cutting! I know that stuff gets edited out when aired on TV, but still. Removing a whole conversation between the Meisters before Tieria's return to space? Leaving out Ribbons hitting on talking to Hong Long at the bar?

DOUSHITE?

...I'mma go rewatch S2/Ep8 now. GRASSY NEEDS CHEER-UP AS ONLY RIBBONS/TIERIA OTP CAN DO. Because Gentleman!Ribbons is SEXAY-WOAH and goes very well with the SEX-ME-UP-NAO-B4-I-KEEL-JOO of BondGirl!Tieria. *WANTS PR0N NAO PLZ*


On the upside, SciFi's airing of the series finally prompted clearday_4ever into fangirling over it with me. We marathoned S1 through episode 8 of S2 this past weekend. Finally~ Grassy's BFF knows the joys of 00 that I've been squealing to her about for months~ now. And, luckily, we don't have any major clashes over pairings. While I prefer Ribbons x Tieria - now, at least, THANK YOU S2! - as well as Allelujah x Tieria, she prefers Lockon x Tieria. NOT THAT I DISLIKE IT MYSELF. *pets the pretteh RokuTier rabu-rabu* RokuTier is canon, IMO. True, it's kinda up to interpretation. But. This is Grassy, after all.

XD

Watched the first two episodes of the Gundam 00 dub on SciFi channel. It's.

OH MY STARS. NO. JUST NO.

What did they do, snag all the voice actors from Inuyasha, Death Note, and Ōban Star-Racers that they could? Was it a contest of some sort? Although Setsuna was amusing, what with the Death Note connection (Miyano Mamoru/Brad Swaile = Yagami Raito!).

Voices in particular that I dislike (since my first inclination is to list EVERYONE): Sergei Smirnov (Why he not so manly?), Allelujah Haptism (Not gentle enough! I wonder how bad Hallelujah will sound. THEY HAD BETTER NOT HAVE SOMEONE ELSE VOICE HALLELUJAH, EITHER!), Sumeragi Lee Noriega (Did they deepen her voice to even out with the not-so-manly tone Sergei has?), Lockon Stratos (Of course. It's not HORRIBLE...unless you compare to the sex-god voice that Miki-san has.), Graham Aker (Just. No.), Billy Katagiri (WTF MIROKU?!), Louise Halevy (Louise-chan is supposed to sound more girly - and, yeah, kinda ditzy - in season one. This would be more appropriate with her character in season two.), and Hong Long (NOOOO~!).

Wow. I pretty much DID list nearly everyone that's been introduced so far. And I know fear that it will only get worse. *is waiting for whatever travesty will become of Tieria's infamous "Ore wa...boku wa...watashi wa..." line*

And so, I leave off my bitching and moaning with this question.

When did Dynames become DIEnames? TT____TT
