I'd come home from One of Those Days that lead into One of Those Late Nights, and my father happened to call from overseas. So I told him, "Dad, if I ever want to become a lawyer in another life, please have somebody hit me over the head. Hard."
My father laughed, which only goes to show how well he understands my pain, and then he said, "I doubt it'll work."
And then I realised that if I began that way the ENTIRE POST would be all about law and it was VERY VERY SCARY and there really, really is something else I would rather talk about.
Reborn Chapter 202
...oh, my God. Amano hasn't made me this happy since Chapter 187.
ohgod, world. You can keep your Hibari, I only have eyes for Spanner.
the one 山本 comment:
I DARE YOU TO MOVE
I DARE YOU TO LIFT YOURSELF UP FROM THE FLOOR
I DARE YOU TO MOVE
I DARE YOU TO MOVE
LIKE TODAY NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.
THE END
so where was I - oh yes.
Tsuna you are my hero
I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW HAPPY I WAS, OH, MAN. RIGHT FROM THE MOMENT THE translation hit the community, I was so in love, LET ME COUNT THE WAYS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE SORT-OF UNCOUNTABLE:
1. Tsuna called him Spanner-san ♥
2. I LAUGHED SO HARD FOR ENTIRELY INAPPROPRIATE REASONS AT THIS:

Su: What are you talking about, we can not change the time of completion, that is my personal policy.

but oh god the original was SO FUNNY TO ME -
... Spanner
Y-y-you sounded just like a conveyancing lawyer right there
no I AM NOT JOKING
that, or a disgruntled property agent
DYING NOW
one day I will learn to stop seeing law in everything
...
BUT I SURE HOPE NOT
3. TSUNA PROTECTED HIM
WOW TSUNA THAT WAS QUICK
you made me one very very very happy person
also HOW ARE YOU SURE HE'S NOT GOING TO SHOOT YOU IN THE BACK OR SOMETHING
but damn, how is Spanner ever going to go back into the Millefiore like this?
IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN SO -
I DON'T KNOW what's going to happen next week, so I'LL JUST BE HAPPY WITH EVERYTHING I'VE GOT
I don't need the Varia or Xanxus or DINO (no, guys, why. I DON'T NEED AAAAAAAANYBODY ELSE, THIS, JUST THIS, IS AWESOME ENOUGH) or Hibari or ANYTHING ELSE BUT
WHAT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. ♥
also. while I'm on the topic.
Why did no one see fit to inform me that Graham Spectre (or Spektor) of Baccano
IS, BASICALLY, SPANNER -
AS A RAVING PSYCOPATH
Okay, fine: this is probably because not many people watched Baccano, to begin with, and Graham only turned up in Episodes 14 - 16, which were released on the DVDs, and therefore not part of the 1 - 13 arc that was Baccano proper. BUT STILL.
Listen, does this sound familiar?
wow image explosion in here, guys
blond Mafia mechanic in a jumpsuit with a wrench
You see, his jumpsuit is meant to be blue, but he spends a LOT OF TIME IN DIM WAREHOUSES and the light makes it look GREEN.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN:
also god that is one huge-@$$ wrench
HE CAN STOP BULLETS WITH HIS WRENCH, GUYS
and DISMANTLE ENTIRE CARS WITH THEM
before they hit the ground
Also when he really likes someone, he shows his love by telling them that THEY CAN USE HIS WAREHOUSE ANYTIME. He's like my visual Spanner until Spanner gets animated, but I don't know if Spanner will get animated as PRETTILY as Graham did.
... the red-eyed guy is ANOTHER PSYCHOPATH NAMED CHRIS(topher)
what the hell guys it looks like some SPIDER-MAN moment

Spanner will totally join the Vongola, once he finds out that
his old flameShou-chan said it's okay to have him killed. >:Arghhhh Graham~! He's totally Spanner's long-lost twin cross-fandom. It doesn't help that he's voiced by Sugita. ♥ ♥ ♥
yes you do
... HIS OLD FLAME
HOW APPROPRIATE ♥
AND IT IS SO TRUE, DAMMIT. SHOUICHI IS ACTING. LIKE. A JEALOUS JILTED BOYFRIEND. "OH, HE'S SHACK(L)ED UP WITH THE VONGOLA BRAT? KILL HIM. NOW."
DON'T WORRY SHOU-CHAN I STILL LOVE YOU. I JUST THINK IT'S SO FUNNY. ♥
SUGITA MAKES GRAHAM SOUNDS LIKE A TOTAL PSYCHO. IE., PERFECT. Listening to his voice is like a SHOT OF MECHANIC MANIA STRAIGHT TO THE BRAIN.
LONG-LOST-TWIN INDEED. My jaw dropped when I set eyes on Graham because, REALLY, HE'S JUST LIKE ANOTHER SPANNER.
4851 is just so cute. XDD Shou-chan misses the sex-within-mosca when all he gets now are marshmallows-involved. )8
I need to watch Baccano, if just for Sugitan and Spanner's twin. *A*
... DIES LAUGHING. Oh, poor Shouichi. In my head Byakuran DEFINITELY was the spanner in the works for the Shouichi-Spanner relationship. WHY DO YOU NEVER SHARE, MARSHMALLOW-SAN.
I'M SURE TSUNA SHARES. I BELIEVE IN 482751.
Sugitan. THAT IS TRUE. *ruffles his hair*
watching Baccano: I THOUGHT THE SAME THING TOO. EXCEPT THE DARN THING IS VERY HARD TO FIND. The torrents I can locate for the Graham episodes seem to be dead. You can DL a Graham preview for Episode 14 here: it's on mediafire.
I believe Tsuna shares too! XDD
Thank you! I shall dig around and see if I can find a decent torrent for the Graham episodes later. After the icons. >3
Tokyotosho is usually my first stop for everything, and that had the dead!torrents.
YAY ICONIFICATION. ;)
I'd have translated the blurb as 'No matter what you say' / 'No matter what is said', 'I won't change the date/time of completion' -- dfjsdfj but same difference XD.
So so so lunch next week y/y?
LUNCH WITH YOU? BUT OF COURSE IT!!! YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I live? Sweetheart I am so happy that YOU live! *beams* howareyousurviving? ♥ I'm okay, I just was dying over witness statements because I AM VERY SCARED whenever my witnesses say they NEVER did this or NEVER did that, especially if the NEVER does not seem factually absolute. ♥
OHGOD I AM AVAILABLE WHENEVER YOU ARE AVAILABLE NEXT WEEK. OR I WILL MAKE MYSELF AVAILABLE. ♥ I am horrified by the number of seminars you have next week and therefore VERY HAPPY whenever you are free for lunch. *SNUUUUG* Tell me what works for you? AND YES LUNCH, DEFINITELY: Monday still good for you?
NAW, I BELIEVE IN YOU. Date/Time of completion would be worded in a way that doesn't set off my LAW ECSTASY Meter. ;)
♥ EEEEEE YOUR ICON ALSO. so cuuuuuute.
Re: LUNCH WITH YOU? BUT OF COURSE IT!!! YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Of course I live! :D And I don't work on sunday, and I didn't do any work on Saturday, so it's been a Good Weekend.
Central? Sun & Moon? I'm going to have to take the train there/back, because walking takes too long (woe), unless Partner In Crime gives me a lift (hm, idea).
*grin* The backstory behind the icon? THOSE TWO HATE EACH OTHER KAY.
ENDLESS :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
AND SUN AND MOON ALWAYS SOUNDS GOOD. ♥
GOOD! ♥ SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS, IN MY OPINION, ARE NOT MEANT FOR WORK. I think we should bill TWICE OUR RATES for work done on those days. (this is clearly my HAS NO CONNECTION WITH REALITY self speaking, but STILL)
I SUGGEST THAT WE TAKE YOU BACK TO OUR OFFICE WITH US, WHICH WOULD OBVIATE THE NEED FOR YOU TO WALK BACK TO YOURS. ♥ *plots kidnap*
IT IS OKAY IF THEY HATE EACH OTHER: THAT CAN ALWAYS BE FIXED. ♥ With out-of-context screenshots AND/OR THE JUDICIOUS USE OF PHOTOSHOP. ;)
EEEEE THIS ICON OF YOURS IS ALSO VERY CUTE.
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD FOREVER.
I AGREE. OR AT LEAST 1.5 TIMES ;;.
*HEARTS SO MUCH* ONLY YOU
AND IWOULD USE THE WORD 'OBVIATE' IN NORMAL CONVERSATION. *LOVES YOU SO MUCH*WHY IS THIS ALL IN CAPS.
THE PREVIOUS ONE WAS TOTALLY AN OUT OF CONTEXT SCREENSHOT. AND THE ONE BEFORE THAT. DON'T WE LOVE OUT OF CONTEXT SCREENSHOTS \o/
I iconned it because of your Asch/Luke snognation icon ;D
SPEAKING OF ASCH. You need to come and see Asch again. He's growing so fast!
... and I grew to like Claire more.
Because those episodes proved that he's just a growing shounen in love ♥
HOW DID HE TAKE THAT CAR APART BEFORE IT FELL TO THE GROUND - wait it's anime, LEAVE LOGIC AT THE DOOR.
Graham's battle-lust kind of reminds me of Gurren Lagann's viral. When he first fights Ladd, it reminded me of Viral first battling Kamina.
Sob, Claire. I just associate that name so strongly with being feminine that it kind of gets to my head to think Claire = guy now, but it's okay. XDXDXDXD
HE IS TOTALLY A GROWING SHOUNEN IN LOVE, OMG. IT'S SO AWWWWWWWWWWWWW-inducing.
... I imagined this in my head:
Claire: Oh fancy meeting you here!
Rachel: Wha-
Claire: I am totally indebt to you, your idea totally worked! The one I liked wore the dress and.. and...! *_________*
Rachel: G-glad to hear that aha...
Claire: Now that you're here, i'm wondering what should I wear next?! Should I dig up my old suit? I have a red scarf but since she wears black should I start wearing black too? Oh no, what if she doesn't like men wearing black?! I must throw out my black clothes... and do you think I should get men's perfume to give a better impression of myself? And also...
RacheL: ........ (INNER SIGH)
Edited at 2008-07-20 08:33 am (UTC)
AHAHAHAHA EXCELLENT
POOR LONGSUFFERING RACHEL AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. O CLAIRE YOU ARE TOO MUCH. ♥
ohgod YOU REMIND ME NOW OF BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT, WHEN YOU SPEAK OF CLAIRE IN A DRESS.
But alas, this one attracted me the most in the end XD
Sorry for the late reply! I wanted to make this GIF which was inspired by this post OTL
Oh! I have not watched the movie, I am not able to watch until I get back to KL which .... is sitll a month away unfortunately.
(I have no idea why. It's just so cute.)
P.s: We should try that with our trident Mukuro-sama. :3
but honey we would break the trident! or at least, I would.
it is a very cute icon. I could stare at it for ages, it's so hypnotic.
eeee your icon is ALSO so cute. CHROME LEARNING ITALIAN.
You'd like Graham (the guy in my icon)! He's like Viral. A little bit.
Hmm... I obviously need to watch Baccano now.
Oh, btw, e-mail me your number and decent times to call you. I'm flying tomorrow night, so I plan to call you and
By the way, is Wall-E out in theaters?
HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ~
Aw, poor Yamamocchan. IT IS OKAY HE WILL GET BETTER. I HAVE FAITH IN HIS RESILIENCE, ALSO I REALLY BELIEVE HE IS TOO STUPID TO DIE. ♥
I KNOW ♥ I was ACTUALLY JUST ABOUT TO SPAM YOUR LJ WITH A COMMENT THAT SAID, "HAVE A SAFE FLIGHT TENTH, WE'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU ♥"
Will be commenting to this entry with a screened comment with my number (will email you with other alternative numbers too) - let's catch up for dinner, if you can make it during the week, and DEFINITELY during the weekend! ♥ I'm really happy that you'll be here so very soon. ♥
Wall-E isn't out in theatres, yet, regrettably: it only hits this country on August 20, 2008. IF I COULD I WOULD MAKE THEM RELEASE IT EARLIER FOR YOU. D8
BACCANO LOOKS PRETTY AWESOME: a friend gave me the first thirteen episodes, so I could totally pass you that. Spanner-clone, unfortunately, is in episodes 14 - 16, which I don't have. It is, however, on Sendspace on
Re: HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ~
It'll try to contact you once we get settled in! Fair Warning! XD
XDXDXDXD
FAIR WARNING, WHAT XDXDXDXDXD I'LL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT! ♥
I like how Amano put question marks on Gokkun's and Gamma's faces - it made me think that they were sucking on pacifiers at first XD!
... and now you've got me putting 'Dare You to Move' on repeat.
I never really got into Baccano... I think the reviews put me off. How would you rate it against Gintama, KHR and TTGL?
SHH SECRET
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA SUCKING ON PACIFIERS. THANKS HONEY NOW I HAVE THIS INERADICABLE MENTAL IMAGE. XDDD
DARE YOU TO MOVE IS SUCH AN AWESOME SONG AND TOTALLY FITS WALLED!YAMAMOTO HERE. YOU KNOW HE CAN DO IT, BABE, HE'S GOT IT IN HIM! IT'S NOT OVER TIL IT'S OVER!
AHAHAHAHA SADLY I WOULD NOT KNOW, having never watched Baccano myself. ;) So I cannot really rate it but I can pass 1 - 13 to you if you want 'em. ;)
OH GOD YOU KNOW I THINK MY EPIC LOVE OF GURREN LAGANN EVEN TOPS MY REBORN LOVE. I MEAN. IT IS SO GAR, AS MUCH AS I LOVE TSUNA AND EVERYBODY I DO NOT THINK THEY HAVE HALF THE GAR OF SIMON, KAMINA AND VIRAL.
Okey it's all hush-hush now
You're welcome! XD I was trying to figure out what was covering their mouths at first (coz somehow my brain had blocked out the top part of the question mark, orz) then I took a step back before I realised that they were question marks!
It looks like dark!Yamamoto tiem again, though. I hope he really can smile like he usually does again!
... actually I think I can top you there (had very bad thought, ow). Here's a site for direct downloads of Baccano 1-16: just click on the episode and then on Chuukurai Download Manager.
Yes, THERE IS NO TOPPING OF THE GURREN-DAN GAR. THEY WILL DO THE IMPOSSIBLE SEE THE INVISIBLE TOUCH THE UNTOUCHABLE AND BREAK THE UNBREAKABLE. ♥ BTW, do you know about the uncensored episode 6?
B-but, I just wanted to comment to show that I am reading your LJ... but that I just don't know what to say most of the time? xD
I know you're busy but I'd like a response? ^^; Just to let me know you even saw it?
D:
I DARE YOU TO LIFT YOURSELF UP FROM THE FLOOR
I DARE YOU TO MOVE
I DARE YOU TO MOVE
LIKE TODAY NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.
......i don't know whether to love you or hate you, because i found it EXTREMELY AMUSING but also because errr
(epilogue) at her place later:
Just got back from holidaying around, splashing in puddles and ducking kangaroos ^_^
*hugs*
so much to catch up on.. it's at 202 already ?? my my
i can't put them into words but i'll have you know MY HEART IS POUNDING SO FAST LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS AND I CAN'T MAKE IT GO AT NORMAL SPEED!
♥♥♥ i'm as happy as you for 4827~~ now if you can access kunlun board, please read this edited version of 202, WITH MORE 4827!

I think Tsuna suffers from ultimate uke syndrome because he just has this ability to make all of his opponents fall for him. And Spanner is like a total JapanophileXD
But dude, TYL! Dino and TYL!Xanxus have to show up soon. It's driving me crazy!
