12:11AM - Sonic goodfic?

Can anyone recommend any? I've loved the old SatAM Sonic show since the first time I saw it, and it's still what I'm most familiar with, but I'm not picky as long as it's well-written and interesting. Mostly, I'd like something that captures what the show was going for, a story about a desperate struggle against an enemy so strong that even their best might not be good enough. Not that I'm averse to lighthearted interludes, though!

While I mention the SatAM show, stories from other continuities are great, too; haven't played the games in a while, but I know the general plot. In short I'm pretty much just looking for "what the canon should have been" kind of thing!

3:17AM - Help? Please?

Argh and dammit. I remembered this recently, and I've been searching for this for weeks, and it's been driving me up the damn wall.

Roughly seven years ago, one summer, I stayed up way too late and saw this... thing on some movie channel. I don't even know if it was a full length movie or an episode of something, but I'm hoping y'all can help me.

This artist guy, played by David Bowie, has these creepy Hirst-like installation pieces involving what looks like pieces of lifelike dolls frozen in blocks of ice. He hires himself an assistant, who takes the opportunity to start learning about this kinda stuff, but gets in over his head and discovers this is a Vincent-Price-House-of-Wax scenario, where Bowie's character is actually killing and dismembering people for his pieces. Bowie's character finds out his assistant's been snooping, we go into a "you know too much, so I have to kill you" deal, and there's a big fight. Then, at the very end...I think even after the credits have rolled, I could be wrong, we see Bowie's character all hacked up in ice, ready to be put in a gallery.

Ring a bell to anyone?

2:12PM - The NAKAMA Declaration in manga

I'm looking for that moment that happens in a lot of manga where some character declares that everything they do, they do it for their nakama (usually in some bloody, badass pose)..

I ended up spending hours at looked at tvtropes.org, but they only have anime references. So, please, loungers, can you point me in the direction of some chapters

I've got two from Naruto, one from Bleach, three from D.Gray-Man, one from Fairy Tail and an iffy one from Gintama. (Lotsa Jump, yeah?)

I know there's more! Please help! Thank you!
