Has it really been that long since I've done a meme?

From nevacaruso: Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.


Mello: With every fandom I've ever really gotten into, there's the character who crawls into my head and stays there. For Death Note, Mello was and is that character. Which is funny, because he doesn't really fit my usual types, except in the very general 'fucked-up teenage boy' sense.

And lemme tell you, that boy has no. Frakkin. Shields. I know all kinds of stuff about him now, for my personal canon.

Kitties: I love cats with a mad love! Also, anything cute is 'kitty.' Seriously, I've referred to people, large dogs and small laptops as 'kitty!' See also: that one XKCD strip.

"Sign!" Shorthand for situations which would require one of us holding up a sign that says "we're not stoned. No, really."

Musicals: I've been a musical nut since I was fourteen. One of the oddest results of this is my urge to turn the things I watch and read into musicals. There's been an X: the musical, Utena: the musical, and I'm currently contemplating Death Note: the musical. You only wish I was joking.

Dark AUs: One of my bulletproof kinks when it comes to fiction. Part of it is the possibility to explore the characters' and plot's darkest corners without rendering the core unwriteable henceforth. When a show has those and still fails to earn my approval, you know it's gone to shit. Why helo thar, season-two-onward Heroes.

OMG, I think I'm in love with these people. They think like me. :) I really wish I could get my hands on a DVD of a full Takarazuka show. Do you know if any have been licensed/subtitled?

They haven't licensed or subtitled ANYTHING. Think of it as watching an opera. :) One generally has to order from overseas, but there are a LOT of people on the takarazuka community who buy stuff (sometimes while they're in Japan) and then have to offload to afford more (or Xmas gifts, or whatever), so they sell their stuff slightly used at reduced cost (and often reduced shipping). I've gotten quite a lot of shows off there. The only one I can't seem to get is Hanagumi Elisabeth! But I got, um, Soragumi, I think.

Heh. I'll have these to do as a reward after my writer review!

...Our beloved Dark AUs: among the many, many things that they did SPLENDIDLY in Season 1 and tried most unsuccessfully to rehash in Season 2.

Also, *comments!*

That's a good way of looking at it. And also reminds me that I've yet to see an opera and should remedy that before I'm old and crotchety(er).

'Rehash' is the key word here. Kring had exactly one season's worth of plot in him. 'Five year plan' my ass.
