I really suck at updating this thing...

We went to HK in May! Had a great time, ate and bought too much. The most important thing was that Storme enjoyed herself, so future (and hopefully more frequent) visits are on the cards.

I'm making several cosplays at the moment. I think there are six ongoing?! It's fun and all but I'm probably going slightly mad. At least the ones I'm working on right this moment - Legend of Galatic Heroes stage play - are all sewing-only, which means they can be finished pretty quickly. After these I need to go back and finish Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. Luckily there are only the shoes left which should take just a day or two given I have all the right materials. And then after that, moving back to Shingeki no Kyojin. Lots to do, including the harness system and the 3D maneuvre gear.

Speaking of SnK, I'm still totally obsessed with it at the moment, and I think I will be for a long time. I seriously encourage everyone to go read the manga, so that I can fangirl it with you. It's a great story with sensible characters, ie they don't do the shounen cliche of "I know nothing but I'll rush into everything and not consider other people's feelings". Where can you go to find a series like that these days?

The best part though, I think, is THE FANDOM. It feels like the very best of the PoT fandom has moved onto SnK, by that I mean it's got the best, best crack ever. This sort of thing is just the tip of the iceberg. It's a very serious series that makes people really, really want to make fun of the characters (plus you can never go wrong with alpacas). And it's got some gorgeous, gorgeous fanart.

The anime's ongoing and there are 11 episodes so far. It's really well done. People die in practically every episode. "So that's why you like this show," I hear you say...

Should go make myself some icons...

Back to the real world, we've switched our rooms around, so now the larger room is Coscraft's work area, and we sleep in the smaller one. It works quite well and I don't feel like we've sacrificed too much sleep space... perhaps because I don't spend much time in the bedroom apart from sleeping anyway. The aftermath of the move is still everywhere though, because once that was done I resumed the cosplay making and haven't finished tidying up yet. We've also picked out a huge bag of things to give away/sell, but god knows when we'll get around to doing it. Other grown-up things we did includes buying a new mattress, which should get delivered early next month.

Oh yeah, that fic I've been writing since last August? 54 chapters and counting. orz

Aaa I started reading snk and it seemed interesting, I should read more!

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Yes. Then I can use my Shingeki no Miffy icon at you. XD

[petitefee24.livejournal.com]

I'm tempted to start a fandom I've never heard about before just to read you again T____T

[crystalusagi.livejournal.com]

Shingeki no Kyojin sounds interesting and the fanart is very convincing (also omg that video XDDD). And yes, all you have to do ti get me to at least poke at a fandom is say you're going to write fic.

All the things to poke, though. D=

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

I haven't started writing for SnK yet (the ongoing one is a Last Remnant/Resonance of Fate crossover) but I have a feeling I might start eventually... >D

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

I will get around to writing fic for it eventually! So start reading it now. 8D (Or watch the anime!)

[crystalusagi.livejournal.com]

Will make Lee watch it with me when I get back to Hawaii. It seems like his kind of thing as well.

SnK is awesome! Who's your favorite character?? :) I love Jean, Armin, and Levi! I didn't think I'd ship this series but... it was surprisingly easy. Maybe because it's so morbid and dark that I want some fluff. lol

Yeahh I fell into this fandom really hard! I'm thinking of buying the Blu Rays to get the first press extras... lol OTL

I hope you'll write for this series! That would be awesome. *_*

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Yup, yup and yup! Plus Erwin (or Irvine or whatever the latest fandom translation of his name is) and Hanji... really, really like Levi, Erwin and Hanji because the fandom makes them so hilarious. Also find myself cheering for Jean and Armin a lot. XD Armin I think will survive the story, but I really hope Jean won't get killed either...

Ahhh yeah I might have to preorder those as well if I find a place that sells the DVD!

As soon as I get some ideas! 8D

[lechaco.livejournal.com]

Erwin and Hanji are cool too. I really like a lot of the characters. *_* I feel like Armin will survive too. Same with Jean. They seem like they're being set up to become future leaders of the Scouting Legion. Maybe in a post-Titan world, they'll be the ones to lead the expedition to explore the outer regions. :) In terms of death flags, theirs are the smallest imo!!

I just preordered the first one on CDJapan. :D I can't wait for Vol 6.... Erwin and Levi's backstory VN!!! *______*

I don't know if you do prompts or like kinkmemes but there is a kinkmeme on snkkink.dreamwidth.org. lol XD;

BACKSTORYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

I'm tempted by the DVD, volume 1 has first press seems to come with lots of goodies, but there are only 2 episodes in it and it costs so much. T_T This is going to be hard to justify!

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Ah, fuck it, just preordered volume 1. XD;

[lechaco.livejournal.com]

Good decision. XD It comes with a 65 page manga! I'm only gonna order Vol 1, 3, 6 haha. I'll pass on the drama CD. 3 and 6 will be so worth it for the Visual Novels hdsjfklad;dj. *___*
