Come On, Bunny!

Sometimes tempted to write massive crackheaded overly serious crossover steampunk AU involving way the hell too many game series and games. I should probably stop that.

In other news,

Been dawdling on FES. Delaying the inevitable. STUPID ADORABLE SHINJI. >|

Also I can't draw Shinji/Akihiko. sadface. *back to trying*

EDIT: *gives up*

I think Shinji's kind of grown on me. At any rate, it now really bugs me that he only has two facial expressions. YOU COULD HAVE PUT A LITTLE MORE EFFORT INTO IT, GUYS.

...It. It's not letting me go to the movies with him. D: ...Or anyone else. It's saying tickets are sold out at the theatre. WRY. *mope* It even said when the hero woke up to ask someone to the movies. The game is playing with my heart.

...Oh man re: the inscription on Shinji's fruit knife. And he just handed that over? I guess the hero has his approval. (It just occurred to me how awkward/ironic? it is that you bring it in in exchange for a spear, haha. ;;)

...oh, okay! :D I had to talk to Fuuka first, because apparently the omnipotent textblock isn't good enough for the MC anymore.

TRANSCRIPTION START.
( Movie time with Shinji~~ )
It's official. I love Shinji forever. :(

Also, anyone have the opening song or know what it is?

Akihiko = Encouragement-senpai.

Also I probably should've checked FF4DS's release date before I preordered it. ;; It doesn't come out 'til late July and I've gotten so bad in my spending habits. ;;; Haha, oops.

Dammit I ran into glowing red shadows all the time when I was going up the tower, but now that I'm backtracking and looking for them, they're nowhere to be seen. f u, tartarus.

Playing FES. ♥ Can't wait 'til I get some of the extra scenes I've heard about on GameFAQs~ (Including Shinji watching a cooking show then pretending to be asleep when people enter the room. XD;) But the ones I've gotten already are good, too. ♥ (I'd describe my favorite, but it might let down the ending of it somewhat. You could probably guess anyway once you heard or figured out whose room it was, but. >_> Anyway.) Can't wait to go on walks with Koromaru~ \o)

Also, re: High Cut Armor - Yukari's looks sort of silly, but Mitsuru's is pretty damn nice. That said, even with its pretty high armor rating for early in the game (52!), I still wound up switching them to other armors because I felt bad for them. ;; Meanwhile the Chivalry Shirt gets passed around all the guys since I only have one, haha. (It has a lower armor rating, though - only slightly, but it gets overtaken by normal armor before you get Fuuka. I'm guessing the intent was to have you use the high-cut as long as possible, but for the boys it's like "eeeeh, you don't need to play dress-up with them" and it's like yes I do. ...anyway.)

I've been following (or, well trying to follow. >_>;; Still somehow got behind on Magician and Strength) a "max S. Link" FAQ, and I'm pretty glad I did. There were a lot of S. Links I didn't pay much attention to in oriP3, and they're pretty cool. I kind of heart Bebe forever, now. ♥ My poor little crazy French Japanophile. :< Also love Kaz, who may be an idiot, but he's my idiot? Anyway.

EDIT: lololol Akihiko doesn't like the chivalry shirt.

Persona 4 has been announced...





...for the Playstation 2. >:D BOOYAH.

Ah, the familiar thumb pain of fighting game playing.

Primary strategy: AETHER EVERYTHING.

I've been meaning to play as other characters (though I did beat Classic on easy with Zelda/Sheik~), but. Um. AETHER EVERYTHING. \o/

I think I need to re-up my Snake/Ike icon.

FES IS COMING TO THE US.










\o/

Knight of Ratatosk is now "Dawn of the New World". I really generally don't like title changes, but it's kind of understandable (only "kind of", because wouldn't Japanese players have a harder time with "Ratatosk" than English-speaking players?) And apparently Lloyd spends a lot of time as a major antagonist? Also they seem to have missed the point of why fans liked the affection system, lulz. Anyway.

Also I didn't notice the TalesAbyss references on Marta's clothes before, or I forgot about them. (Now that I think about it, I think I noticed the Mieu keychain, but not the Tokunaga fanny pack buckle.)

*checks Tales of the Ellipsis*
...Ignoring the newfound knowledge that I didn't need to get the magazine...

Vesperia is indeed a 360 game. S-screw you, Namco. :(:(:( *sobs dramatically* (Still better than the PS3, but not by much. X|)

That's sort of ridiculous, tbh.

Tales of Vesperia trailer~ It's so shiny. *_* And I'm loving the character designs.

So, of course, all signs point towards it being on the 360. :(:(:( BUT AT LEAST IT'S NOT THE FUCKING PS3? :D:D:D:D

EDIT: Changed link. This one has a translation by the side! :D

"awwww now i can enjoy the adorable couple Zelos x Colette XD"
^A comment I got to a Sheena/Lloyd pic.

...I. I think I need a dA-commenter-to-English translator. What does this have to do with my picture? I'M SO CONFUSED.

EDIT:
1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.

2. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle.

3. Draw a sketch related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the sketch; you start when the song starts, and stop when it's over. No lingering afterwards! You have to stop sketching. XD

4. No skipping songs! That's cheating

5. Do 10 sketches, post it, and tag 3 people to do it as well.

Just recording this here for future reference. (I already did it but it sucked, so, um. lololololol I'll try to do better later.)
Also I am really freaking rusty at drawing Zelos. word.
Also openCanvas keeps doing this bullshit saving error when I try to save images as jpegs sometimes and it's getting annoying. THE MORE YOU KNOW.

Found a little comic I'd done in my moleskine when I remembered it exists looked through it today. I recalled planning to do a finished or whatever version of it but never actually did, because I R lazy. Also as I've found it's a lot harder to do "second draft" rabbid faces versus ones done on the fly. WOE.

( the original draft is a lot better, is what I'm saying )

Maybe I'll try to do a better and/or finished version later. *coasts on sea of laziness*

HAY GUYZ.

Just listing assorted fandom prompt/porn/whatever events gathering prompts right now, don't mind me. (aah, there's Persona 3 prompts in the second link~)
a porn battle! (LJ)
another porn battle! (IJ - NOTE: prompt submission ends today, I believe?)
kinkfest round 2

MY ARM IT IS A-TIRED.

( Persona 3 WIP - spoilers? )

OH HO A NEW YEAR.

Here, have a lot of crap I
A. never uploaded, never posted
B. uploaded, didn't post
and/or
C. uploaded, posted, then promptly deleted
for the year of 2007.

Huzzah! It is a smorgasbord of suck! LET ME TAKE YOU ON A JOURNEY, A JOURNEY OF LAME.

Most are without context, so if you want some for a certain picture I'll try to remember why I drew it, I guess.

NOTE: Not dial-up friendly. And being as what they are, the "rejected"/ignored pieces, are probably not worth loading.
( Ruaki's seen some of these, to my great shame )

Oristory side here.

( rosenightshade Character meme - Junpei )

meme template

WARNING: Like most/all dA memes, not dial-up friendly.

This had a context, but the context was dumb, so all that's left now is the image and this disclaimer. Does Junpei picking his nose really need context?

( in which P3MC is driven to facial expressions by fear and desperation? )

I'm not very good at this advent thing. :(

Guess who's getting the Suikoden V 108 Stars character book for Christmas.

>:D

It's sitting in the living room as I type this. The urge to go and paw through it is strong. I'm a little disappointed that the concept art is so small, but pretty much it's all good. ♥ ordered it from Amazon Japan, got it before even the stuff from the US Amazon got here, ordered on the same day. Damn that's speedy.

I LOVE FIRE EMBLEM: RADIANT DAWN FOREVER.

ME x FE:RD = OTP.

I WOULD EXPRESS MY LOVE IN A MANNER MORE UNDERSTANDABLE BUT I CAN'T SO SCREW IT.

In other news, beat it! ♥ The only question now is, do I replay it, or do I replay PoR first, get Ike and Soren's A support, then replay RD? Ah, decisions.

Here, have the top five from this playthrough.

5. Kieran
4. Rolf
3. Sothe
2. Edward
1. Ike

To be honest, I was surprised to see Sothe on the list, especially at #3. Then again, I was surprised to see Rolf on the list even though in-game I was often "I need to stop killing things with Rolf or no one else will get any EXP". Rolf = most badassed little archer dude evah.

( one ending quibble, though lolspoilers )
