Warning: THIS POST IS 屑, 屑 and THEN SOME MORE 屑:
ahahahaha today I created a document chronology until I made myself quite sick from all the document-to-screen-to-document, and I brought
more of them home. BUT I was going to say something:
There was this
story my Mom told me which I found
hilariously funny. My mom was talking to her technician one day, and her technican was telling her about how she despaired of her little boy, who was about five or six years old, and according to his mother, demonstrated (in her opinion) negligible conversational skills, especially when talking to other people. But that wasn't all. "I hope he'll be all right," she said, to my Mom, "He wants to be a mechanic when he grows up. He's already wandering around the house with a spanner
trying to fix things."
And all
this at the age of
five or six.
Younger inclinations don't always lead to the child's future profession, but sometimes, it is said, you can just
tell. I am not entirely sure this sort of career prediction-based-on-childhood-predilicti
ons worked with me, but just
maybe...
(1) read a lot (2) thought a lot Imagine, if you will, that my given name was Tsunayoshi. This is what would happen when my Mom caught me doing nothing at the age of five.
Mom: "What's Tsuna doing?"
Me: *looks at her* "Tsuna's thinking."
I have
absolutely no recollection of this and
absolutely no idea of what I could have been thinking about. BUT THERE YOU HAVE IT.
(3) corrected people a lot THIS sometimes DISTURBED PEOPLE (unless they were my mom, in which case, it amused her), i.e. because all this happened when I was three:
Uncle, trying to get me to talk: *points at fish on plate* "Fish! Fish!"
Me: *stares at him in mild disgust* "
Pomfret."
Uncle: D:
(or this one)
*after an accident with some food that had landed, via human accident, on the couch*
Mom: "Oh. The jelly dropped."
Me: *eyes her* "
Fell."
(4) was terribly opinionated, despite small size (this, when I was four)
A family friend's sister, a fascinating chain-smoking lady, had come to visit. She lit up in the house, at which I'd stared at her, and promptly come over.
Me (
at four, to my parents' horror and subsequent shushing and apologising): "
Don't you know smoking is bad for you?!"
(what an
obnoxious brat)
Cigarette-Smoking Lady: *took one look at me* *laughed and laughed* "I certainly have all the evidence before me!"
(5) fought. a lot. Had two brothers, enough said.
ANYWAY. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT contrary to my beliefs, NOT EVERYONE KNOWS THAT ABYSS IS NOW AN ANIME, SO I MUST SAY SO NOW. SO HERE GOES:
- The Abyss anime will have
26 episodes.
-
Go check out the Abyss teaser trailer: it has FLAILING SCREAMING GUY RECOILING from the Fabre maids. And PRETTY LUKE. ♥ (but then I am weak to Luke like Rolo is weak to Niisan)
-
The Abyss anime PV: which has
baby!Luke (goddamn you Sunrise, my
heart wrenched), a really
handsome Guy ♥, and
all the amazing stuff you only saw in game CG coming to life in anime.
- Also
raethes made this awesome Mieu icon for this OH-SO-ADORABLE scene in the PV where he's BREATHING FIIIIIRE at Luke's enemies, and doing it
in such an adorable YAY!!! MIEU IS BEING USEFUL TO MASTER!! fashion. I-want-to-eat-him-
all-up. (I have even more love for the icon and Rae's icon-making skills than Mieu is emitting in this icon, which is saying. A LOT.)
-
eternal_rena put up these
lovely Tales of the Abyss anime character sketches/previews from the Tales Magazine on the community. It's public, so accessible by all, and
so pretty. The Luke character sketches and the Guy character sketches made me laugh the hardest.
Oh Guy. You and your
priceless expressions.
-
Tales of the Abyss scanlated on OneManga! ♥ It's by the
Wings of an Angel group (they have always been incredibly sweet when asking permission to use scans, and I would TOTALLY scan more if only I had the time T_T)
-
Tales of the Abyss Chapter 13 is up, which makes me so happy, because it's one of my favourite chapters. It's the Asch-and-Luke MEMORIES IN THE RAIN chapter. ♥
Also,
milk_of_lime did this
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS ROLO ARTWORK OVER HERE. No spoilers. But
omg, so pretty I COULD CRY WITH JOY.
AH, AND, speaking of which,
maiki, your
Brave Story doujinshi got here! ♥ I've given Kura her copy, and omg. ♥ The cover is gorgeous, and my favourite story is, um, yours, actually. Because Mitsuru totally needed that. ♥ AHAHAHAHAHA. I kind of grinned like a maniac when reading it, so YEAH. ♥ I'm so happy to be able to own doujin drawn by you. ♥
omg such an obnoxious child. WOULD HAVE SMACKED SELF.
Everyone was thinking doctor because of my interest in ailments and diseases (I think it was because I was bloody sick) and I was thinking neurologist until sec 3 smacked me in the face haha
I was waiting for you to jump back into Abyss fandom ♥ ♥ DID YOU SEE LITTLE ASCH. I bet you that's how post-Akzeriuth Luke will look like *doki doki*
EEEE NEUROLOGIST. ♥ (XDXDXDXD a profession near and dear to my heart!)
WHAT JUMP BACK XDXDXDXDXDXD In my heart I never left. (XD ROFL, like I never truly leave any of the fandoms I love).
EEEEEE SO CUTE AND SO STUBBORN and you captured Asch's spirit perfectly. WHAT A SULKY BOY. He looks so much like the both of them right there (but then I think Asch and Luke look very different): the vivid green eyes, THAT MOUTH THAT'S ALL ASCH, the clothes, everything! :D
POST-ACZELIUS LUKE WILL BE CUTER ♥ Because he's watashi no Luke.
<33333
THEY'RE GOING TO BE ANIMATED!
OH HAPPY HAPPY DAY~! ^0^
Oh and YOU WERE SO SMART AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE.
All I ever responded to questions were along the lines of:
'Pretty sparkles!'
'Pretty dress!'
'Cute bunny!'
(And I still think I do. *Headdesk*)
(eeeee but I love that you still do. ♥ SOCUTE. I UH, KIND OF DO THAT TOO.)
omg would have pinched your cheeks, except not, because I hated having my cheeks pinched when I was a kid. It hurt.
THEY'RE TOTALLY GONNA BE ANIMATED. ♥ I CAN'T WAIT, IT WILL BE AWESOME. (OR SO I HOPE)
I-I still call fish.... fish. OTL
IT'S PERFECT. ♥ HEARTS EVERYWHERE. IT CAPTURES THE SPIRIT OF MIEU AND MIEU'S BURNING GENKI LOVE FOR MASTER SO WONDERFULLY. ♥
BUT YOU WOULD BE CORRECT TO CALL IT FISH. ♥
I BET YOU WERE A CUTE KID WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG, TOO. ♥
But kid with spanner is cute (totally no bias there), and so is the kid!you. XDD
That is thinking extremely far ahead.
You have good foresight :D
Me: *stares at him in mild disgust* "Pomfret."
Uncle: D:
HAHHAHA, this is like that... add for whatsits milk or something where the father went "Flower, flo-weeeeeeeer" and the kid went "Orchid!".
In any case my inclination was always writer-y funnies somehow D: D: D: .
ORCHID INDEED. ;) But even then I thought the ad was SO OBNOXIOUS. XD
Writer-y funnies are great, no? ;)
My mother tells me, even though I have NO recollection of this whatsoever, that when once I learned to talk, I forgot to learn to SHUT UP and used to TALK NON STOP and tell people stories ALL THE TIME. Apparently my relatives found this hilarious. XD
What I DO remember is that people used to tell me "I should be a writer", and I had no idea why until my mother told me about the rest. XD
OH GOD LITTLE!YOU was so cute. SEE, THE STORYTELLING, IT IS IN YOUR BLOOD. You were born to tell stories. IT IS IN YOU BEFORE YOUR EARLIEST MEMORIES!
... I wish I had been ACTUALLY around you when you were a child so I could hear your stories. OR BETTER YET WRITE THEM DOWN. (HEY, I STILL CAN, but your childhood stories were special!)
I used to write when I was a kid! I had a book in my grandfather's room and I'd go in there all the time and write a new story. I had this notebook when I was about six or seven and I'd write new stories in it once in a while. I remember even at that age thinking that some of them were not very good (one of them was actually factually incorrect, I think, because I had orchids propogating via seeds)
STOP PIMPING THESE THINGS. D: You are SHOVING all this potentially awesome stuff in my face and a-levels are 1.5 months away! ;_;
I am amused that I now know what you look like, what your nickname is, and lots of other things. I have become a CREEPY INTERNET STALKER, whut. ;_;
... also is it not horrifying the amount of personal information on myself I have put on the Internet... *goes weak* *also, mind racing*
I imagine you'd have found out the nickname from
(But, omg. Is it all right if I ask how you found out what I look like? ;_; Am now wondering Who else can see those pictures?)
CLEARLY the solution to this whole Internet stalker problem is that we must somehow contrive to meet IRL so that you will not be a creepy Internet stalker: instead, you will become The Friend That I Met On the Internet! HAHAHAHAHA. I call this the Unorthodox Method, other people call it WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU CRAZY.
If it makes you feel better, though: I'm, uh, probably an even worse Internet stalker, except, uh, not as honest as you.
ALSO IT IS REALLY AWESOME STUFF, THOUGH. GEASS! AND ABYSS! IT'S ALL GOOD! ♥ I WANT TO SHARE THE LOVE WITH THE WORLD. ♥
I guess that's why my relatives thought I'd be a teacher for sure, because I started out asking "Why?" to everything on TV and by the time I was five I was like "You know why? I'LL TELL YOU WHY!"
Hahaha, I think I was obnoxious at times too when I was a kid. I threw my dad's ciggies and lighter down the chute when I was around four after nagging him for days on the negative effects of smoking XD Those were the days when no-smoking ads were all over TV, I guess. Dad figured if a kid like me could understand that smoking was bad, he as an adult ought to know better and quit lol.
I remember I read a lot as a kid but had difficulties using the words I learnt because I couldn't pronounce them so I ended up mispronouncing a lot when trying to expand my vocabulary XD Especially the word 'idiot'. It was quite funny :D
No one thought I'd become a mere teacher/lowly musician though XD
