Also, since I'm so bored, I'll list some things that I dislike so much, I prefer to try to ignore it:

• Gentleman Ghost's beheading (Stunt double, I tells ya! :O )
  
• Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (The show does no one any justice--especially Peg Leg Pete.)
  
• Penguins of Madagascar (Not only is it an insult to all of the characters involved, it breaks canon on SO MANY levels, it isn't funny! And speaking of funny, it's terrible even in that category.)
• "Planet Citrus" [Sushi Pack] (I'm not even going to consider anything in this episode as canon. In fact, I am going to pretend it doesn't even exist. Immature, yes, but I absolutely despise it that much!)
• Happily N'Ever After 2 (Honestly, I hadn't seen it, but it looks pretty flippin' terrible--and I somewhat enjoyed the original movie! The only good thing is that it seems to focus more on Muck and Mambo (Mambo = <3), but then again, commercials tend to be misleading (*cough* Beverly Hills Chihuahua *cough* Marley & Me *cough* Tale of Desperaux *cough*).)

In real life news, my graduation ceremony will take place this Friday in the afternoon, with my mom's planned post-graduation party afterwards. So obviously I won't be online that day.

Also, I've been listening to a lot of Vocaloid music, and I can easily say that the Kagamine twins are among my favorites. Despite being the youngest ones, they have some of the most beautiful and powerful voices, and (a bit obviously) they work beautifully in choruses. Gakupo is another new favorite of mine, with high notes that don't threaten to kill my ears like Kaito (no offense, Kaito fans, but he's just not my type). Miku Hatsune, of course, is THE Vocaloid, and for good reason, too. Megurine Luka, the newest Vocaloid, has a nice set of (virtual) pipes and adds an interesting twist of being bilingual. I hadn't heard much from the other, lesser-known ones, but generally, I love the cute little synthesized singers! <3

As some of you may or may not know, the first Saturday of May is Free Comic Book Day, meaning that, in most comic book shops, they give away a selection of comics for free--really self-explanatory. In my case, the shop my sister (Bunny_Gypsy) and I went to, they not only had a wide variety of free comics to choose from, but they also had a pretty good selection and were having a sale! :D In total, we spent, I think, over $70 there, and got quite a lot out of it.

I, in particular, bought/got:

• The World of Cars: The Rookie (FREE)
• The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, #1-5 out of 8 (+ Sketchbook, FREE)
• The Oz/Wonderland Chronicles, #3 + "Jack & Cat Special"
• JSA, #83-87
• Nightmares & Fairy Tales, #20
• The Muppet Show Comic Book, #1
• Reborn Vol. 2
• D-Gray Man Vol. 4
• Shonen Jump Sample, w/ preview of Ultimo (FREE)

And to appeal to the SP fans who've been reading my story so far, here's the latest update, where we finally get to see Maguro!

~

“I don’t know about you guys,” Mochi said, a concerned tone in her voice, as she followed the others into the cave-like basement level, their place of residence, “But I think Oleander would feel a whole lot better if we cheered her up somehow.”

“Oh yeah?” Fugu replied, although rather cynically. “And how do we do that? The Titanium Chef’s guest will be coming, and we can’t have him and Leo in two places at once!”

“Not unless if there’s some kind of machine that does that,” Uni threw in. “You point it at Leo, and ZAP! Two different bodies, each with one personality!”

He merely rolled his eyes. “TV has obviously warped your mind. Even if such a device exists, how can we get it before tomorrow?”

“Well, since you’re obviously so smart, why don’t you get started now instead of bitching about it?”

Then the words started flying, as they began tossing around snide comments, which turned into personal insults that scathed each other. This went on until the conversation no longer made sense to anyone else, outside the two of them, and they got louder and angrier the more it went on, until everyone else could hardly hear themselves think. Finally, unable to take it anymore, Unagi stood in to end the madness.

“Will you guys be... QUIET!?”

Immediately, at the sound of such a yell, all went silent, with the exception of the sound of heavy breathing from the eel. Once he regained his breath and recovered a bit from the dizziness resulting from the lack of it, he continued, softer now, though still seething in rage, “If you guys would stop arguing, maybe you can hear some ideas from everybody else! But anyway, I have an idea, and it may sound rather crazy to some of you, but I think maybe we can arrange both dates at the same time.”

“At the same time?” Fugu broke in. “You sound almost as crazy as Uni here!” He sighed, then, more composed, “But I suppose your idea would be as worthy of hearing as anybody else’s here. Let me hear it.”

“Wait,” Mochi said, excitedly. “I wanna hear it, too!”

So it was that everyone present gathered around Unagi, mouths shut and ears perked up to listen patiently as he explained the details of his plan...


☺ * ☻ * ☺

Finally, the day that everyone had worked so hard for: Valentine’s Day. On this day, a line of desperate and/or lonely souls waited to purchase a tasty delight from the Legionnaires, and the restaurant was filled to the brim with couples that reserved their tables ahead of time. Luckily, as the hours passed, the crowd began to wane, until only a handful of dateless young men remained.

However, shortly after the last customer left, just when Unagi thought they were done, he heard a familiar—and beautiful—voice.

“Excuse me... Unagi?” the voice asked, obviously uncertain of the formality of the situation. He turned around—perhaps a little too quickly, signifying even more of his anxiety—and, sure enough, there she stood: a slender mulberry purple tuna, about two inches high (as tall as he is, if one does not count his blond “fin-hawk” to his height).

Trying to cover up this sudden jumpiness, he put on what he called his “macho” personality—which he normally used when facing the Legion’s archenemies, the Sushi Pack—and crossed his arms to further emphasize it. “What do you want?” he questioned flatly. 

From her half-asleep eyes—irises the color of a clear blue sky—to the faint smile on her face, everything about her came off as serene, even with the slight touch of uneasiness in her tone. “I was wondering if there’s still anything left.”

Barging in, Mochi answered joyously, “Of course! Today was really busy, but there’s still plenty left to choose from.” The little ice cream scoop then proceeded to list the available items and their flavors and prices; when around the tuna girl, she was just a tad too chatty for Unagi to handle being around.

Ultimately, he burst out impatiently, “Just buy something already; we haven’t got all day here!” Mochi, unsurprisingly, reprimanded him for his rudeness, but he simply ignored it and evaded eye contact with her and her “friend”.

The tuna girl—whom Unagi knew her name as Maguro—did eventually buy something, but even when prodded with questions, she never spoke any other words than the usual “thank you” for the group’s service. Neither did he, although he wished awfully that he did, even if to apologize for his uncouth behavior.

See the awesomeness and fear it, Dororo fans!! 

As a random and abrupt change in subject, the Sushi Pack episode Respectable Delectables has shot up to the rank of being one of my personal favorites in the series (along with Deep Freeze, Pants on Fire, Darkness and Spice... if you've seen enough of the show, you can see a definite pattern here). Of course, like pretty much every episode in the show, there are flaws in RD, but despite them, I enjoyed it bunches, mainly because the writers decided to give the spotlight to the villains!

And I must admit, I quite like Sir Darkly! <3 Sadly, though, I don't have any decent shots of him, so I won't post here.

BUT I did finally finish the wedding picture (which I adore so much), and there's more fanart to come!



In other words, this is the journal about nothing! XD



... Or maybe not completely. Here's a tiny update to the 'fic I've posted last time. If you like Oleander, you'll probably love this! ^_^

~

While the Chef—still in his human disguise, known to his unknowing customers as Leo Sakana—served the increasing crowd out front, the kitchen was bustling with activity, as the members of the Legion decorated and packaged various condiments of all flavors and colors. However, they were not alone, for with them was a plump but pleasant-looking woman, her entire body of a lavender hue; she, in particular, was the one responsible for baking the treats, and helped Toro with icing them. In the meantime, Mochi and Uni added the sprinkles, and Fugu and Unagi encased each individual cupcake in red, translucent plastic wrapping paper, twisted and tied up on top with a pink ribbon.

The purple-skinned woman opened the oven door and, after concealing her hands in oven mitts, removed the tin sheet full of cookies from within the interior of the oven and laid it aside on the counter to cool when she overheard the familiar clopping of wooden sandals from behind her. At that moment, she spun around, finding herself face-to-face with Leo, carrying a pile of dirty sushi trays.

“Pardon me for bothering you if you were busy,” said Leo politely, albeit a tad shyly, before throwing the trays into the sink nearby, causing a big mess out of the pile already created. Then, a bit more chipper, “But really, thank you, Oleander, for taking your time to come all the way here.”

To this, the woman smiled modestly. “It’s always nice to help a friend out. And everyone’s getting along fine, so don’t worry.” She then slipped in closer to him and whispered, “But if any one of them get out of line, I know just how to discipline ‘em!” She appeared to be kidding about what she said, but still, the Asian man felt uncertain.

“Well, then. Since nothing seems to be wrong, I’ll just be on my way.” Keeping his word, he slipped through the curtains and left the kitchen. Upon his absence, Oleander finally noticed that, in the duration of their brief conversation, all of the Legion members had ceased working; fortunately, a firm demand snapped them back.

As Mochi finished adorning the frosting-topped cupcake with pastel-colored sprinkles, she asked, “Oleander, how do you know Leo?”

The woman, about to place another tray of cookies into the oven, hesitated before answering. “Well, before he became what you know as the Titanium Chef, he was just a regular sushi chef—and actually quite well-known in Wharf City.” After inserting the tray inside, she closed the door and set it to 350 degrees. “One day, I just happened to be here, and when I heard about him, I was curious. So,” as she removed the mitts, “I decided to pay him a visit. I ordered one of everything he could serve, which was quite a bit.”

“And...? What did you think?”

“His food? It was good—nothing special, but it was decent for someone of his skill. He was a very nice man, too, so I couldn’t help but give him a tip; I always gave tips to good service.” Staring at the unusually eager countenance on the little ice cream scoop, she added, “But outside from a few visits, we weren’t really that close. I only decided to help this time because he was polite and I wasn’t working today, anyway—”

“Did you like him?” She asked, her grin no less shrunken than before (in fact, it might have grown a bit). By this point, the last cupcake had already been packaged, and the remaining Legion members stood by, waiting patiently for the baker woman’s reply.

Oleander, nervous from all the staring, stammered as she tried to put her thoughts into words. “Uh, like I said before, we were not very, close. It was, well, I guess you could say business. You’ve got it all wrong!” She looked at their reactions, all of which showed skepticism; finally, she sighed and admitted, “Okay, maybe I liked him a little. But that’s nothing now, and we’re both better off as just friends.” Becoming more irritated, she shooed them away and didn’t call them back until the cookies were finished about half an hour later.

And just to finish this off: my first AMV in forever! I admit, it's not the best, but I hope at least some of you are entertained (even if it's in the "so bad it's good" kind of way).

I am a turkey!

:D

"And now for something completely different."

~~

WARNING: The following entry is focused on the book/movie series, Twilight, so if you happen to greatly dislike it with a passion, I suggest you ignore this. The less negativity around here, the better. :)

Also, for those who had never heard of the series, here's a basic summary: Average girl Bella Swan moves with her dad to the city of Forks, where she meets a handsome young male named Edward Cullen--who just so happens to be a vampire! After discovering his secret, she gets into all sorts of accidents for the sake of her obsession with him. And... well, I think a more hardcore fan is more willing to tell you the rest. ^_^;

So I finally got to see Twilight on Pay-Per-View (though not the entire thing, 'cause I missed, like, the first fifteen to thirty minutes, but I saw enough of it), and I have to say that, even though the blur and sparkle effects weren't all that great, it was pretty decent visually. In a way, it made it more exciting than the book! Also, I liked how they took the "bad vamps" part of the plot and extended it into a subplot (at least then, we actually know that they've been around for a while and didn't just appear from nowhere as an excuse to bring some life into an otherwise rather slow story); I rather enjoyed the fight scene, too. Also, I liked the music used in the movie; it added to the mood of the moment, and actually sounded pretty nice! ^_^

HOWEVER, I can't say that the acting was the absolute best (Kristen Stewart isn't the most expressive, and I think some lines could've had a bit more oomph to them), nor, as I sort of mentioned before, would not stand in complete support of the visual effects (then again, I think they DID said that it wasn't very high in the budget area). Also--though this partly be the fault of the fact that I've spent way too much time on sites and forums that make fun of the saga--I found some supposedly serious parts just plain laughable.

Overall, I sort of half-enjoyed it, though I think in more of a "so bad it's good" kind of way. The acting wasn't outstanding, the effects were okay, the story (IMO) was improved upon, and the soundtrack was quite enjoyable. I cannot say if anyone outside of absolute Twilighters (is that what the fans call themselves?) will actually enjoy this, but I'd say that, if you have nothing better to do, enjoyed the book(s), and/or are curious about it like me, then I suggest you at least rent it or watch it for free.



"Do I not sparkle like Edward Cullen?"

It's Spring Break this week, but I've been generally bored outside of checking DA messages and playing Disgaea 3, so I'll just post an excerpt of something that I worked on one day during one of these phases of ennui.

It's a slice-of-life Sushi Pack fanfic that centers around the Legion of Low Tide (apparently, there was never a "the" in-between of and Low; why did I ever think that?), but particularly Unagi, and tends to switch between third-person "real life" scenarios to diary entries. Also, there's some MagUnagi (Maguro/Unagi), a touch of gratitious (sp?) Japanese, odd writing, and a plethora of references to phanon (my own term for "personal fanon", or an individual's perspective of canon).

~STORY STARTS HERE!~

With the laptop booted up and the bright light from the monitor staring him in the face, he wondered to himself, What should I do? Then, without really thinking, he moved the mouse, manipulating the little white arrow on the screen, and clicked on a desktop icon that indicated a word processing program. Once fully loaded and opened, he pondered some more, a sharp claw lightly scratching at his cheek, and, also without much thought, brought his fingers to the keyboard and rapped at the lettered buttons. In seconds, replacing a completely white block was one with the words, “Once upon a time”, in black, size 12 font, scrawled on the screen.

Immediately displeased, he pressed and held onto the key known simply as "Backspace", which rapidly erased the phrase from existence. This type-and-delete process repeated itself several times, until finally, out of frustration, he banged at the keyboard and bowed his head. This was a stupid idea! Why'd I even turn it on, if I wasn't going to do anything relevant?

His attention turned back to the screen, he checked the time depicted on the bottom-right corner: 11:18 PM. And, after dragging the cursor over it, a small sandy yellow box appeared above the time, revealing the full date and day of the week. Half-consciously, his fingers retyped the date, the mouse then highlighting it and clicking an on-screen button that turned the numbers into a bolder form of themselves. In perfect harmony, they clicked "Enter", reversed the Bold command, indented about half an inch, and began writing.

2-10-XX

Today was rather hectic, due to it being just days before Valentine's Day, and the Chef was expecting a big haul-out of customers this year. (Why anyone would come to a sushi bar on V-Day, I don't quite get. I suppose, it being a restaurant, it's considered "romantic", but still!) Also like usual, Mochi's expecting tons of valentines (though it never happened, and the last time it supposedly did, we did it just to make her feel better about not getting anything from anyone outside of the family.) However, what makes this Valentine's Day really special is that, according to the Chef himself, a very special guest--I'm assuming his date--is coming over to visit. No one knows who it is, but she probably looked REALLY deep inside to find some redeeming feature past that tin helmet-protected head of him!

Perhaps I'm being too mean. After all, I can't say that I'm much better--I mean, I'm just a dumb, two-inch-high henchman, who, among other things, can't even get a girlfriend like him. Some henchman I am!

But I suppose there's something to look forward to (besides his messing up his own first date): this "guest" might actually be interesting; the decorations and special "advertising" (we were also putting up flyers wherever we could) might actually attract customers; and maybe something special will happen for once.

Well, look at that. My heart's already pounding!

See you later,

+ Unagi +


☺ * ☻ * ☺

...gi.

Una...

"...gi. Unagi, wake up!"

His heavy eyelids having somehow lifted themselves, his blurred vision cleared up, and the pale green countenance of a young female stared back at him. Her elbows on the edge of the mattress and her white hands holding her large head up, she cracked a modest smile.

"Has anyone ever mentioned that you’re a really deep sleeper?" the green-faced girl said, her tone quite lively for one awake so early. "It's almost noon, yet here you are, all curled up in your widdle blankie."

Early, my foot, were the first words to come to mind after believing it to be much earlier; that, and the thought of beating himself over the head for his incompetence to even install an alarm before going to bed. But instead of complaining about himself, he asked as he sat up, "Why'd you wake me up so early, Mochi?"

"Aww! Can’t a sister be nice to her brother every once in a while?" She stood, only to settle her rear on the bed, and one of her hands gently massaging his shoulder. Although warm-hearted and kind, her touch sent chills down his spine; even when she removed her hand a moment later, he was sent trembling a bit, though for other reasons.

"I suppose not," he finally answered as he rubbed the cold spot where his so-called "sibling" made physical contact. After a second of brief hesitation, he said, "I should go get some lunch now; I've slept all morning, and I'm starving, anyway." In return, she gave a bright and lovely "that's my brother" look and followed alongside him out of the room.


☺ * ☻ * ☺

As Unagi entered the kitchen, he was overcome by that unusual sensation indicating upcoming danger. He kept his guard up as he walked, but his personal “Eel-y Senses” proved themselves accurate as something—or someone—tackled him from behind, sending him to the ground face-first.

"Onee-chan," the tackler exclaimed as it raised itself to a kneeling position atop of him. Try as he might, he was pinned. It folded its arms--draped over by the overly long sleeves of a pink and white sailor-style winter uniform--in contempt. "Still lazy as ever, I see," it said mischievously. "Can't even lift up itty-bitty me!"

Vexed, Unagi noted, "First of all, don't call me Onee-chan. For the umpteenth time, it means 'big sister'--and I'm none of those! And secondly..."

To his fortune, in came the Chef--only, it was not the Chef that they were used to. Instead of an anthropomorphic catfish in a samurai helmet and dark gray cape, he was a normal-looking fifty-year-old Asian man, his long, jet-black hair streaked with silver, and sporting a long-sleeved red kimono. The Chef-that-wasn't-their-Chef clapped his hands loudly, demanding the attention of everyone present, and once that was given, he began to speak. "Everybody, I would like to announce that, since Valentine's Day is not too far away, I recommend--no, I encourage--that you all pitch in to make this the best one ever! You can do whatever you like, so long as you do not disrupt the lovely atmosphere, and please do not forget to give all your friends a little something to show them you care.”

Right away, the room became filled with elated chatter, and even Unagi’s bothersome “brother” got off of his back (both literally and figuratively) to join the fun.

“Let’s give away custom-made Valentine’s Day cards to each customer that walks in!” chimed in Mochi.

“Fool! We’ll have to sell them to regain the money we lost from making them,” his brother intervened.

“I can provide the tiny mechanisms, so that the cards play music when people open them,” added a blue-faced blowfish in a desert-camo-patterned hoodie.

The Chef, once overjoyed at the thought of his minions’ excitement, began to worry a bit. “Now hold on—”

“Dammit, Fugu! Are you trying to drive us to the poor house?”

“Look, I am just trying to suggest that...”

From there was pure chaos, as the three of them argued over various ideas. After a short time, the not-their-Chef dug an enclosed foldable fan from his sleeve and slammed one edge of it against the counter, right in the middle of where they stood. With his red eyes gleaming and a scowl formed on his face, he demanded that enough was enough. Once everyone shut up, he went on, his voice noticeably deeper and colder. “Just because I let you guys run the show this time does not mean that I’ll let you get away with such disorder. As your master, I expect absolute respect of myself and of your teammates.” He slammed down the fan again. “Do you understand that?”

A quivering in their knees, they all stuttered “yes” to their superior, whom, despite his transformation in appearance, was still present, particularly during that moment.

Then, as suddenly as it came, his fury and stone-hard authoritative spirit went, and, the now-happy-non-Chef said, “Good! Now, besides cards, does anyone have any ideas? How about you, Toro?” As he mentioned the name, he pointed his fan at a large purple tuna, who tried to shirk away from the earlier ensuing debate.

Toro attempted to say what was on his mind, but he only muttered “ums” and “uhs”—which the uniform-wearer took to his advantage to throw an insult at the tuna’s stupidity, which resulted in his retrieving a punch in the shoulder from the girl. Finally, at the goading of his master, he said, “Well, I was wondering... what about a bake sale?”

A pause. Then, as he opened the fan and waved it wildly, the non-Chef replied jubilantly, “That’s wonderful, Toro! I knew you could come through.” Then, to the rest of the group: “I decree that we start at once! We will need ingredients—recipes—anything to make this perfect, I recommend that everyone contributes to this.” Abruptly, his wrist tightened, seizing the fan, and, as he covered the lower half of his face with it, he gave a piercing glare at the eel. The part of the Chef repressed in the man’s consciousness became present for a second time. “Including you, Unagi.” Then, again, his personality shifted back to its former (?) self, and he left the room, smiling all the while.

Shortly after their commander’s absence, all of the group, save for two members and Unagi, went their separate paths to prepare for the upcoming event. Thinking about the bake sale and all that will be there—cookies, cakes, brownies, and sweets galore—while on an empty stomach, caused him to salivate with hunger and great yearning. But sadly, all good things must end, and his daydream ceased to exist further, due to a nasally soprano calling out his name. “... Huh?” His head turned, only to find Mochi, the little ice cream-headed girl, beside him.

A touch annoyed at his inattentiveness, she crossed her arms. “I said, aren’t you gonna help us get some ingredients for the bake sale? After all, human or catfish, the Titanium Chef is still the boss of us, and he said that everyone has to help.”

He gave her a cynical look. “He said he recommended that everyone help. It doesn’t mean I have to.”

She looked away and stared at her fingernails, which she rubbed against her breast and held out on display. “Well, if you won’t help, then I guess all those tasty snacks will have to go to waste...”

Struck with dread over the thought of the disposal of such delectable treats, he immediately asked, “H-how can I h-h-help?”


☺ * ☻ * ☺

2-12-XX

Another late-night entry. Whoopee.

Like I mentioned before, the last few days had been busy, but things have gotten even busier since yesterday because SOMEBODY suggested we hold a bake sale. F**k it! I hate being so busy! Though I must admit, maybe a bake sale won’t be such a bad idea, especially with all that’s going to be offered...

No, I have to keep my mind off of it, lest I want this entry to become completely incomprehensible.

Anyway, what I really wanted to talk about was what happened yesterday. Mochi, Toro, and I were at the supermarket in search for ingredients when—surprise, surprise—the Sushi Pack came along! Or, at least, a few of them were. (Luckily, that stupid salmon didn’t see me, or I’d kill him simply based on his stupidity!) Among them was Maguro, who, thank God, was a friend of Mochi’s, so things at least went smoothly. (I wish I could tell how beautiful she was, but my horrible writing skills cannot do her justice if I did!) Our conversation was brief and casual, but we got our point across that we’re not up to anything, and we (well, I) left the store a little bit happier than before. Well, I’d personally be a lot happier if that octopus with the eyepatch wasn’t staring me down so suspiciously.

BUT it got weirder today. After Fugu dragged me to the electronics store (actually, he left me right outside—he knows how my powers are around electronics when I get too excited), I was waiting for him to finish his purchase when—lo and behold—there she was with her little crab friend! Again, I managed to convince them that I had no evil plans in mind—although that almost got ruined by Fugu’s presence (damn you!)—but I hadn’t gone so far as to compliment her on anything. (Because stupid little me can’t even talk to a girl!)

I shouldn’t dwell too much on the issue, though. There’s work to hate doing, and I have to get up early to help out.

Over and out,

+Unagi+

~STORY ENDS HERE!~

Well, that wasn't so much an "excerpt" as most everything I've written so far! ^_^; If you like it enough, I might consider writing more of it--not that I won't, 'cause there's so much that's incomplete, it would probably bug me as far as my obsession might last! D:

Finally, one last picture, just for the heck of it.

... and I dare you to finish that sentence. XD

I swear, I feel lonely sometimes. When you're the only one with X Obsession that no one else IRL even knows about, and when the only peoples you can actually meet with on a regular basis usually don't even appear to pretend to give a damn about your problems or your life... well, I think you get the picture. :(

ANYWAYS, I watched the Sushi Pack episodes "Chemicals Made From Dirt" and "Star Light, Star Bright", and everything was fine--at first.



Seriously, what the heck? O_o Why the hell would he do THAT?! I thought he had more sense than to play "Stop Hitting Yourself"... with himself.


On an interesting note, I'm a bit surprised and perhaps bewildered at how public the Legion's infamy is. I mean, in "Much Ado About Tako", the Titanium Chef got publicly arrested; the Mayor apparently knows about Uni; the crowd cheered when the Sushi Pack slam-dunked Low Tide; and in SLSB, the WHOLE GROUP got arrested. Yet in "Sign of the Tuna", the two-inch minions' were unknown, considered as "the mysterious pirates" (or something with pirate; I don't remember); Unagi's fate in "Pants on Fire" is undetermined; and these guys keep coming back! (Cardboard Prisons, I tell you!)



I got some new Copic markers, which are exactly as advertised--really awesome! :D My only gist against them, though, is they have serious bleed-through, meaning, with my cheap (also new) sketchbook, I have to put a thicker sheet of paper or cardboard underneath when coloring with them. I also got Sakura Pigma-Sensei "manga" pens, which also are really great, and come with the best eraser in possibly all existence! *squee*

Here's my favorite of my Copics "experiments":


Isn't he CUTE? ^.^

On a serious (and somewhat unrelated) note, though, I have SO many ideas for Legion stories--especially Unagi- and Uni-centered ones--that I'm sort of having trouble sleeping without my imagination running all over the place! The one I'm actually working on, though, involves Unagi and Uni getting a brain swap as a result of Paradoxter's latest experiment. It's meant to be uber-serious, for the most part, and somewhat of a tragedy, so hide the kiddies, moms and dads! But I also have other ideas that might or might not get made or mixed into the picture, like Unagi wearing a power-enhancing suit that goes haywire, the introduction of my OC group, the Knights of the Atlantean Court, or--gaspies!--a MagUnagi love story!


Book the wedding band! <3




... And now I'm out of things to talk about. :| Here are some more screencaps, to keep your attention occupied for a few seconds longer.


Hint, hint. Wink, wink. Poke, poke. Stab, stab. Shock, shock! BOOM!!


See? D:< T-Chef is very sad now!


"Admit it: I look BADASS in these!"


The Chef goes "NYA"!


Unagi before a mob of fangirls customers ambush him.


"NOW who's the bitch around here?" "Y-you are, M-M-Master..."


Just so you know, that WAS his best side. XD

AND S'MORE MEMES!! :D

Character Meme
1. Kaigan (seahorse)
2. Anago (saltwater eel)
3. Black Torpedo (electric ray, albeit not like Narcinidae)
4. Asteros (red starfish)
5. Pira (piranha)
6. Barracks (barracuda)
7. Kokoro (heart urchin)
8. Narcinidae (“life-sized” electric ray)
9. Rocket (hammerhead shark)
10. Laevi (blue sea star)
11. Zoolo (zebra-striped pipefish)
12. Ecstazee (unusual mixture of various drugs)

1) Who would make a better college professor: 6 or 11?
Both have excuses to not be teachers (Barracks is a foul-mouthed bastard, and Zoolo’s a nervous wreck), but I think any of them can do the job at least somewhat well.

2) Do you think 2 is hot? How hot?
Considering Anago is a girl, I cannot say if she really is “hot”. That’s up to somebody else to determine. ^_^;

3) 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
Let’s face it: Anything Ecstazee does is either odd, creepy, or completely hazardous to one’s health. Besides, Narcinidae does not take orders from anyone—not even to drugs! XD


4) What is, or would be, 9's favorite book?
Sci-fi novels, for sure! :)


5) Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
Neither are very likely, but I think Anago’s slightly more able to trust someone.

6) For some reason, 5 is looking for a room-mate. Should they share a studio apartment with 9, or 10?
PIRA: Let’s see... a rather grotesque and dirty fish with a weird-shaped head, or—?
LAEVI: Love me! Love me! LOOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE MMEEEEEEEE!!!
PIRA: I’ll take the shark. _

7) 2, 7, and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
ANAGO: You know, these “tea parties” are a little sissy, but they’re not SO bad.
KOKORO: [giggle] And it’s even nicer with a friend!
ANAGO: Although I wonder... [pointing at ECSTAZEE] Why’s HE here?
ECSTAZEE: [inserting God-knows-what into the tea before taking a sip; he grins a creepy grin] Everything’s so colorful now!

8) 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
BLACK TORPEDO (BT): I challenge you, gay-looking blue star-thing!
LAEVI: Yay! A new buddy! [is completely immersed in light, instantly blinding BT]
BT: NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I’ll be back! [leaves]
LAEVI: [completely unaware of the actual situation the whole time, is now confused at his new “buddy’s” absence] Buddy? Where are you? WHEEEEEEEEEERRRRRREEE AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEE YYOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUU?!?! [spontaneously bursts into flames]


9) If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would they get it back?
As much as Kaigan hates the thought of betraying his beloved master, he steals Narcinidae’s magic staff to keep it safe from the grasp of the Sushi Pack (and possibly anyone else who wants her powers for himself or herself). But unaware of this danger, the dark witch ray accuses him of stealing it and banishes him from the Royal Court, resulting in a long chain of events that lead to her apologizing for the misunderstanding and allowing him back.


10) Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.
“Addiction”. Because Kokoro’s “addicted” to Uni, who becomes “addicted” (in any or both ways) to Ecstazee, who’s addicted to himself—LITERALLY! XD


11) What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?
Although technically, they are both members of the Royal Court, it would be difficult to get the uber-serious Kaigan to work with the sadistic and controlling Asteros. Perhaps they’re both after the same target, and they have to use their abilities to the limit to


12) If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
She’s so gentle and shy, outside of her obsession with boys (especially Uni), and I’m... shy. So I guess we could somehow get along. ^_^;


13) If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
Even harder than getting BT out of the shore is finding out what he CAN do after we did the former! O_o


14) Does anyone on your friends list resemble 11 (either in appearance or personality)?
I can’t really say for sure. I personally think I made Zoolo to represent the cowardly part of me. But since everyone is afraid of something, I think pretty much anyone can relate to him. :)


15) If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?
Anago doesn’t really like either of them, but considering how much of a completely twisted jerk Asteros is, she would most likely pick the lesser of two evils—even if it means getting hit on. A lot.


16) What might 10 shout while charging into battle?
“Sooner or later, EVERYONE will fall before my bright and beautiful charms!” (Yes, he is a total narcissist. XD)

17) If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?



18) 1, 6, and 12 are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it?
Ecstazee, because no one would want to touch what he touches! XD


19) What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?


20) What would 5 most likely be arrested for?
PIRA: [shock] ¿Qué? ¿Mi? Oh, no, no, no, no. Sure, I’ve destroyed some property because of my... hunger, and even taken a nibble or two at other people and fish like me. But NEVER will I get arrested for it! I’ll learn my lesson! [suddenly unsure of himself] ... Eventually.


21) What is 6's secret?



22) If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
No matter how I think of it, Zoolo will win. Why? ‘Cause a) he can simply scare his opponent away, and/or b) Rocket would just use the race as an excuse to test out his S.A.M.E. (Semi-Amphibious Mechanical Entity) Bot, which wouldn’t last very long on land, due to its reliance on using lots of hydrogen atoms.

23) If you had to walk home through a bad neighborhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8?
As powerful as Narcinidae is with her magic, I think I would feel safer with Kokoro, mainly because she isn’t as likely to hurt ME in the process! D:


24) 1 (Kaigan) and 9 (Rocket) reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's (Asteros’s) sinister secret organization. 11 (Zoolo) volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that he/she is actually a spy for 4. Meanwhile, 4 has kidnapped 12 (Ecstazee) in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 (Pira), they seek out 3 (Black Torpedo), who gives them what they need to complete their quest. What title would you give this fic?
(Well, the first half makes sense... sort of. Rocket on the field is an unusual sight for me, but I’m sure that can be fixed—especially when the power-hungry Asteros is out for the Atlantean throne! D: Zoolo, IMO, is an unusual character in terms that he isn’t really on anyone’s side [consistently]. And as I matched the names to the numbers, I thought of Pira being helpful in a Cheshire Cat sort of way, mischievous yet somehow still relied on. But I don't get Ecstazee’s involvement in this (perhaps he stole something important during one of his crazy psychotic outbreaks?), although perhaps BT is useful as a transportation device of sorts. :/) “To the Ends of the Earth’s Oceans”. [is shot for thinking up such a crappy name]


1. Toro
2. Wasabi
3. Fugu
4. Tako
5. Unagi
6. Kani
7. Maguro
8. Uni
9. Ikura
10. Mochi

1. Divide the list up by even and odd. Which group of five would make a better Five Man Band (like a Power Rangers team)? Who would you slot in each position: Leader, Lancer (second-in-command), Big Guy, Smart Guy, The Chick? If you think the team would be improved by swapping one character between the even and odd groups, which ones would you switch?

Team Odds:
Leader: Ikura
Lancer: Unagi
Big Guy: Toro
Smart Guy: Fugu
Chick: Maguro

Team Evens:
Leader: Tako
Lancer: Wasabi
Big Guy: Uni
Smart Guy: Kani
Chick: Mochi

Although Unagi probably wouldn’t make the best “smart guy”, I doubt that Ikura would really trust him as a Lancer or even on the team, despite the fact that he helped the Pack TWICE!

2. Gender-swap 2, 8 & 10. Which character would have the most change in their story arc? Which the least? Would any of these characters have to have a complete personality change to be believable as the opposite sex?
Uni would probably be very happy to be a girl! XD I don’t think anyone would go through THAT major of a change in story, though Mochi would be the one more likely to have a complete personality change to be a remotely believable male.


3. Compare the matchups of 1 & 8 and 5 & 9. (Ignore canon sexual preferences for the moment.) Which couple would be more compatible? Which couple would be more plausible to people from either principal's home culture?
Funny thing here is that I was thinking about how likely/unlikely Ikura and Unagi would be as a couple! XD I think they probably would have a slightly harder time being plausible for each other, “culture”-wise, since they’re both from opposite sides of the good/evil spectrum. Toro/Uni, though... who knows? It’s pretty darn crack, even if they’re on the same team.


4. Your team is 3, 4 & 9. The mission consists of a social challenge, a mental challenge and a physical challenge. Which team member do you assign to each challenge?

Social: Tako
Mental: Fugu
Physical: Ikura


5. 7 becomes 1's boss for a week in some plausible fashion. How's their working relationship?
^_^ Aww, gawsh! Of course they’d get along just fine! (Just watch Sign of the Tuna to see why I think so.)


6. 2 finds him/her/itself inserted into 6's continuity. As far as anyone other than 2 or 6 is concerned, they've always been there. What role would 2 be presumed to have had in 6's story, and could they fit in without going wonky?
Since they are in the same universe AND the same team, this question’s pretty much null and void. XD


7. 3 and 5 get three wishes. The catch is that they have to agree on all three wishes before they get the benefits of any of them. What three wishes would they make?
(Oh, boy! After Go with the Glow, I thought they would NEVER have to agree on anything on a personal/individual basis!)


8. 1 and 2 are brainwashed by a one-time artifact that works even on people immune to mind control to attack and kill 4. They keep their normal personality, skills and competence level, except any Code vs. Killing has been turned off. Can 4 survive? How?
Most likely, Tako can easily outsmart Toro and Wasabi by distracting them—their child-like natures probably would never be able to resist


9. 6, 7, 9 & 10 must help an orphanage full of small and depressed children have a merry Christmas. Who does what, knowing that at the very least the kids will be expecting a visit from Santa?



10. 3 and 8 are challenged to circumnavigate the Earth in eighty days or less, using only forms of transportation invented before 1900. Can they do it, or will they be fatally distracted by sidequests or their own personality conflicts?
If Fugu was alone, he would finish it faster, obviously. But with a deranged mind like Uni’s getting easily distracted and sabotaging (intentionally or not), they probably will not make it, or they somehow might, though barely.


1) Ben
2) Tako
3) Kani
4) Unagi
5) Maguro
6)Titanium Chef
7) Wasabi
8) Mochi
9) Toro
10) Uni
11) Ikura
12) Fugu

Have you ever read a Six/Eleven fic? Do you want to?
Sadly, to my knowledge, there are no SP fanfics in existence... yet. But if there are, I don’t think I’d want to read T-Chef/Ikura. It’s just too... weird for me! D:

Do you think Four is hot? How hot?
Not too hot—ADORABLE! ^o^

What would happen if Twelve got Eight pregnant?
Oh, boy! O_o If Fugu (the eldest, I assume) got Mochi (who’s most likely underage, even if she isn’t ice cream), what happens next won’t be pretty for sure! (Off-topic: I’ve been thinking about this couple a bit... I think I actually support it. D: GASPIES!)

Can you rec any fic(s) about Nine?
No, but I’d sure like to read one! :)

Would Two and Six make a good couple?
TakoChef...? o_o ... [bursts out laughing]

Five/Nine or Five/Ten? Why?
MaguToro over MagUni, because IT’s CANON! XD Seriously, though, I just think they’re a whole lot more fit as a couple; Uni would drive anyone up the wall.

What would happen if Seven walked in on Two and Twelve having sex?
First of all, TakoFugu makes a bit of sense, actually—though both would be arguing over who’s on top. XD
As for Wasabi’s action... poor kid’s scarred for the rest of his life!

Make up a summary for a Three/Ten fic.
UniKani, YAY! (Yes, I’ve come to support quite a lot of pairings in the SP fandom.)
While the rest of the Pack is away, Kani is left to fend for herself when Uni appears before her with a message.


Is there any such thing as One/Eight fluff?
Even though they’ve never been seen interacting, I wouldn’t be surprised if Ben was acting as a counselor for Mochi, thus developing, at least, a sort of one-sided relationship.


Suggest a title for a Seven/Twelve hurt/comfort fic.
“Short Stuff”


What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted Four to deflower One?
Question is, how can he? XD Growth ray; that’s all I’m going to say.


Does anyone on your friends list read Seven slash?
Even if my online/offline friends know a thing about SP, I doubt they’d want to read CHILD PRONZZZ! D:

Does anyone on your friends list read Three het?
No, but I’m sure some Kani fans would LOVE pairing her with Ikura or Tako or... (etc.)

Does anyone on your friends list write or draw Eleven?
Fergzilla does SP fanart, including the Ikura comics.

Would anyone on your friends list write Two/Four/Five?
I WOULD! :D (Tako > Maguro < Unagi)

What might Ten scream at a moment of great passion?


If you wrote a song-fic about Eight, which song would you choose?
“All the Things She Said” by t.A.T.u.

If you wrote a One/Six/Twelve fic, what would the warnings be?
Anthro-sex, BDSM, and LACK OF LOGIC.

What might be a good pick-up line for Two to use on Ten?
(TakUni FTW! ^_^ Besides MagUnagi, of course!)
“Uni, you are the clay for my art!” [brick’d]

When was the last time you read a fic about Five?
Pretty much NEVER! D: Unless if I count all of the the fanfic IDEAS for MagUnagi.

What is Six’s super-sekrit kink?
He has a kink, though it’s not much of a secret. ;) He likes to use his whip quite a bit!

Would Eleven shag Nine? Drunk or sober?
Probably not unless he’s REALLY drunk!

If Three and Seven get together, who tops?
(God, what’s Wasab got himself into THIS time? D:< )
If I seriously had to answer this, I’d say Kani. ‘Cause SHE’s the oldest!


1) Unagi
2) Paradoxter (This guy’s a cop-out, ‘cause Wasabi’s VERY underage)
3) Mochi
4) Ikura
5) Titanium Chef
6) Ben
7) Uni
8) Kani
9) Fugu
10) Tako
11) Toro
12) Maguro

Have you ever read a Six/Eleven fic? Do you want to?
No, but I might check it out, just to see if it can even work.


Do you think Four is hot? How hot?
He’s KINDA cute, I guess. Looks like a monkey, though.


What would happen if Twelve got Eight pregnant?
Oh, noes! It’s YURI-PREG! I’m sure that reporter would be on the story faster than the Mach 5!

Can you rec any fic(s) about Nine?
No, but depending on the summary, I would like to. :(

Would Two and Six make a good couple?
MAYBE... >.>

Five/Nine or Five/Ten? Why?
T-CHEF: Hmm... If they were both my height, it’d be hard to choose. But I would rather stick with my own “kind”, thank you!


What would happen if Seven walked in on Two and Twelve having sex?
UNI: :D ... I’ll pretend this didn’t happen. [doesn’t like het stuff too much]

Make up a summary for a Three/Ten fic.
Mochi returns to visit Maguro, but instead finds Tako alone in the studio. Stuff happens. (What stuff?! D: I must know!)


Is there any such thing as One/Eight fluff?
No. And I don’t know if I’d be interested, anyway. [is personally more biased towards Maguro/Unagi]


Suggest a title for a Seven/Twelve hurt/comfort fic.
“Spines and Acupuncture Needles”


What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted Four to deflower One?
They have to work together—AGAIN! But this time, they’re alone! _


Does anyone on your friends list read Seven slash?
No, but I want summa dat! D:

Does anyone on your friends list read Three het?
Some might like to, if they’re Mochi fans.

Does anyone on your friends list write or draw Eleven?
I’ve drawn Toro a bit. Does that count?

Would anyone on your friends list write Two/Four/Five?
Somehow, I don’t think ANYONE would write that unless if they’re extremely creative or extremely twisted. X3

What might Ten scream at a moment of great passion?


If you wrote a song-fic about Eight, which song would you choose?


If you wrote a One/Six/Twelve fic, what would the warnings be?
(I’m going for Unagi  Maguro > Ben, just so you know.)
Probably fluff, at the most. But maybe SOME sexual implications and interspecies coupling.


What might be a good pick-up line for Two to use on Ten?
“I’d LOVE to have you as part of my ‘experiments’!” ;D

When was the last time you read a fic about Five?
You seriously have no idea how much I want to read a Chef story!

What is Six’s super-secret kink?
Oh, he likes his men tall and pale and fishy! XD


Would Eleven shag Nine? Drunk or sober?
Not at all—and Toro’s too young to drink, anyway! >:


If Three and Seven get together, who tops?
Uni, definitely! And there’ll be blood! >:D

Seriously, they are. I've actually done this TWICE in a row--and I usually don't do that with memes. Anyways, here's the version with three characters from various fandoms (including my current obsession, Sushi Pack):

Character Meme
1. Wolliriki (Gogoriki)
2. Uni (Sushi Pack)
3. Parakarry (Paper Mario)
4. Klu (Disgaea 2 Gunner)
5. Docoriki (Gogoriki)
6. Maleno (Disgaea 2 Marionette)
7. Mimi (Super Paper Mario)
8. Unagi (Sushi Pack)
9. Bigoriki (Gogoriki)
10. Brother Dedede (Disgaea 1 Brownie)
11. Doopliss (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
12. Titanium Chef (Sushi Pack)

1) Who would make a better college professor: 6 or 11?
Honestly, I think they’d both be terrible professors, but I assume that Maleno would be the more... mature of the two. :/

2) Do you think 2 is hot? How hot?
Uni is the hottest sea urchin IN DA WOORRRLLLLD!!! XD

3) 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
How convenient! ^_^ T-Chef sends Unagi to test out a new (stolen?) experimental suit that channels and strengthens his electric powers on Wharf City. Unfortunately, it causes him to go haywire, and the Sushi Pack is forced to stop him before he completely loses control of himself. He partially succeeded until the suit’s malfunction, but the scars from the incident may never go away.


4) What is, or would be, 9's favorite book?
Bigoriki’s favorite book would probably be How to Be a Ninja. >.> <.< Or maybe a book on how to convince and manipulates peoples.

5) Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
Might depend on who wins the fight: a 2-inch shapeshifting urchin or a Level 30 Marionette. XP But if no fight is involved, Uni might swear (false) loyalty to Maleno, while the latter might put his trust on Uni (‘cause all in all, he’s just a kid).

6) For some reason, 5 is looking for a room-mate. Should they share a studio apartment with 9, or 10?
Are you really that desperate, Doco? XP I think he’d go insane if he had to bunk with Bigo, so I think he’ll go for Brother Dedede, because he just doesn’t care about anything.

7) 2, 7, and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
Uni and Mimi have a tea party at whatever restaurant T-Chef runs, and they comment on how cute the Chef looks in a dress. XD

8) 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
How absurd! If anyone was to challenge B-Dedede to a duel, the last person would be Parakarry! ^o^ Anyways, if it did somehow happen, it’d be a good, close fight—any one of them could win!

9) If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would they get it back?
My, these questions are getting more and more ridiculous... ^_^; So, if Wolliriki even tries to steal Unagi’s prized portrait sketch of Maguro (drawn by the eel himself! <3 ), he’d easily just shock him and take it away. But since this questionnaire is being filled out by the phanon (personal fanon)-loving, canon-destroying fangirl, Wolli would switch to his other personality, Varinska, and the two would duel to the death!

10) Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.
“The Man from The Green Donut” *pervy*

11) What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?
Easy—Klu “convinces” Wolli to join his extensive army as the group mage. XD

12) If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
I think we’d get along... sort of. She’s scary when she’s angry. O.O

13) If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
From now on, only Parakarry will deliver my mail! XD

14) Does anyone on your friends list resemble 11 (either in appearance or personality)?
NO ONE! D: Not a single person I can think of remotely resembles Doopliss in any way at all.

15) If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?
Since it’s Uni that has to decide, he’d declare a GUNFIGHT! :D

16) What might 10 shout while charging into battle?
Brother Dedede doesn’t shout—he’s too laid-back/lazy to do that. DX

17) If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?
Probably something by System of a Down, ‘cause I can imagine him when I hear Serj’s voice. :D Perhaps “Needles”, because he’s pretty much the wild card of the Legion (he DID help the Pack twice—that’s one more than Toro and Mochi (not combined), and twice as much as the rest of them), and I figured that, in his heart, he just wants to be his own person instead of following the orders of the Chef.

18) 1, 6, and 12 are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it?
(If Unagi was one of them, I’d say it’d be him easily, but since he’s not, this is going to be tough.) Well, Wolli’d probably be too full to eat it, Maleno most likely can’t eat, anyway, so I think T-Chef would get it (although he’d probably just give it to Unagi. XD)

19) What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?
Well, Uni’s gay, anyway, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to hit on Brother Dedede. XD He’d probably tease a bit about his large size (what can I say? He’s a growing boy :P ), but try to twist it so it sounds more like a compliment.

20) What would 5 most likely be arrested for?
Actually, he’d be framed by his clone—for the murder of his wife from oh, so long ago! </phanon>

21) What is 6's secret?
Maleno’s secret is... HE’S NOT HUMAN! XD (As if his being a living doll isn’t already obvious enough, but he’s a DEMON doll!)

22) If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
Bigoriki for sure! ^_~ He’s the more athletic of the two, and he’s a ninja-in-training, so how WOULDN’T he lose? Well, if Doopliss copies Bigo and uses his ninja prowess against him, he might win—or at least tie with him.

23) If you had to walk home through a bad neighborhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8?
At the moment, I’m totally biased to say I’d go with Unagi, but his ability to control electricity might actually help. However, like I mentioned before, Mimi’s scary when she gets totally pissed off, so she’s useful for beating up people. Really, I’d take either, ‘cause I like them both! :)

24) 1 (Wolli) and 9 (Bigo) reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's (Klu’s) sinister secret organization. 11 (Doopliss) volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that he/she is actually a spy for 4. Meanwhile, 4 has kidnapped 12 (T-Chef) in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 (Doco), they seek out 3 (Parakarry), who gives them what they need to complete their quest. What title would you give this fic?
(Okay, this is long, so I’ll have to parenthesize the names as I try to answer this question. BTW, this story actually sort of makes sense: Doopliss is a shapeshifter, so he can just transform himself into someone whom Wolli and Bigo both trust (possibly Rosa?), Klu has his extensive army, Doco’s pretty smart, and I always figured that Parakarry would be the Bad-A that helps save the day! :D I don’t get what T-Chef has to do with anything, but whatever.) I’m no good with titles, I think the best one for this is “Facing the Truth”. (Lame, I know. ^^; )


... And here's my super-duper Sushi Pack Edition!

Character Meme
1. Tako
2. Titanium Chef
3. Maguro
4. Fugu
5. Ikura
6. Unagi
7. Kani
8. Toro
9. Wasabi
10. Ben
11. Mochi
12. Uni

1) Who would make a better college professor: 6 or 11?
Unagi’s pretty observant, and I can actually sort of imagine him as a college professor... *Dreamy Fangirl Fantasy Mode* But Mochi, from what I know of her, is less of a jerk and appears more capable of keeping her temper. All in all, though, they’re probably the types that wouldn’t be on the job for too long.

2) Do you think 2 is hot? How hot?
He looks good in aviation pilot gear, but I can’t say the Titanium Chef’s THAT hot. O_o

3) 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
Uni sends Toro to get some pie. Unfortunately, Toro failed this simple “mission” because he went to the Green Donut instead! :D


4) What is, or would be, 9's favorite book?
Fantastic Four comics—FLAME ON!! XD

5) Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
Probably neither—or at least, not out loud—because both are pretty stubborn in their own way. T-Chef is more used to being a leader, and Unagi has an independent spirit that can veer off and away from whomever tries to control him. But seeing as Unagi already is a member of the Legion, he probably already sort of swore fealty to T-Chef. :\ I’d say it’s up to you whether he’ll actually be loyal or not.

6) For some reason, 5 is looking for a room-mate. Should they share a studio apartment with 9, or 10?
Ikura, you’re so lonely. XD Since Ben and Wasabi are both his friends, it could be any of the two, although, for the most part, he might prefer an adult figure to guide him (Ben) than a child to take responsibility for.

7) 2, 7, and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
Kani is invited by Uni to dine at the sushi restaurant that, little to her knowledge, the T-Chef had invaded and taken over previously. Uni pretends to do it because he has a crush on her, and so they discuss their interests; Kani, somehow, finds him to be a bit similar to Ikura, even if he is mentally unstable. However, the Chef suddenly kidnaps Kani and plans to bring her to her demise, until Uni, who had come to tolerate her, saves her, only to later receive punishment from his master. (Boy, I had a party with this one! XD )

8) 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
WTF, Maguro vs. Ben? O_o It’s probably a duel of Chinese checkers—which, through cunning, Ben managed to win.

9) If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would they get it back?
Tako steals Toro’s yin-yang camera/necklace (the camera is defunct, since Fugu had disabled it under Toro’s request), which holds special memories of Maguro. Upset, Toro, with some help from Fugu, manages to lure the octopus to a particular spot, and from there, he challenges him to a fight. Unfortunately, he loses, but Tako, admiring Toro’s persistence, gives the necklace back, anyway. (I think I made Toro too smart here, but ah, well. *shrug* Let’s just call it “hidden potential” and move on with our lives, no?)

10) Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.
“Destination: Leader Navigation” (Sucky title, I know, but my brain’s dead, title-wise. Anyways, Tako has been taken by the Titanium Chef and dragged halfway across the world to a mysterious island. Kani wants her leader and friend back, while Uni wants the trust of his master—and perhaps a kiss from the captor. ^_~ )

11) What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?
I’ll cop out and reuse the device from the previous question. The rest of the Legion and the Pack have been kidnapped by an enigmatic villain, and neither of them can fight this force of evil alone.

12) If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
She’d probably be really awesome—and maybe she can help with my computer problems! XD

13) If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
Teach me how to be a more positive person, please! :D (To Maguro.)

14) Does anyone on your friends list resemble 11 (either in appearance or personality)?
I don’t really know Mochi’s personality too well, even with the Deep Freeze episode, but I’m sure I have or had had a friend that resembles her somehow. ^_^;

15) If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?
Why, the Chef would rather choose his most loyal minion over some idiot from the enemy team! D:<

16) What might 10 shout while charging into battle?
I seriously don't know. "CHAAAAAAAAARRRrggggeee....?" And then he gets his (sexy) ass whooped. XD

17) If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?
“Innervision” by System of a Down, because that song never fails to remind me of Sign of the Tuna—which is, of course, very Toro-centric, so it makes sense! :D

18) 1, 6, and 12 are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it?
(Finally!) I’d say Unagi, though I figure Tako would have the fastest reflexes. I assume Tako and Uni fought over who should have it, while Unagi just picked it up and sneaked out of the restaurant. >.>

19) What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?
From T-Chef to Ben: “Would you like your sushi here or to go?” XD *gets bricked for having made up the lamest pick-up line in existence*

20) What would 5 most likely be arrested for?
Though idiocy isn’t a crime, he’d probably still get arrested for it. XD (To me, he’s the Cirno of the Pack AND the Legion!)

21) What is 6's secret?
Admit it, Unagi: you’re TOTALLY crushing on Maguro! <3 (He just can't handle the truth.)

22) If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
Mochi would probably start by using a Frozone/Iceman-esque move by freezing the ground before her and sliding on it. But then Wasabi, being a fire-type, would attempt to sabotage her by melting the ice that she creates under her feet and then maybe fire-bomb rocket himself to the finish line. Really, it’s almost unfair! XD

23) If you had to walk home through a bad neighborhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8?
Well, Toro’s obviously stronger, but Kani’s smarter (of course) and she can pack a wallop with her attitude and her pincers. So I’d go with the crab on this one. ;)

24) 1 (Tako) and 9 (Wasabi) reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's (Fugu’s) sinister secret organization. 11 (Mochi) volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that he/she is actually a spy for 4. Meanwhile, 4 has kidnapped 12 (Uni) in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 (Ikura), they seek out 3 (Maguro), who gives them what they need to complete their quest. What title would you give this fic?
(Some parts of this make sense, like Fugu being the bad guy, Maguro being the “helpful person”, and Mochi being a spy (depending on how you analyze her last line in Deep Freeze). But some parts are just plain absurd, like Fugu kidnapping his own teammate and Ikura being “wise”. *shrug* But that’s just me.) I think “Like Fire”, although generic-sounding, would really emphasize Wasabi’s character development (though I don’t think that’s really the intention ^^; ).


RANDOM SCREENCAPS! Because I feel like posting some. X3

Titanium Chef is happy to see you! :D


A personal favorite pairing of mine! <3


Toro, searching for his "innervision".</soadref>


"You. Me. On the ground. NOW."


Uni's infamous "costume". XD


Another favorite pairing of mine. ^.^ Toro was SOOO cute in this episode!

Sure, the whole "Madagascar song" bit's pretty dated, but lately, one of my latest obsessions is King Julien, and I've been wanting to draw him SO badly. Unfortunately, my lemurs tend to come out like wolves, so I decided to Google some pics and save them via PSP (oh, darling PSP, with your imitation iPod and low-quality Internet Browser goodness! <3 ), just to have SOME sort of a reference.

Also, I got "exempt" (barely) from my semester exams, which means that I don't have to school AT ALL for the week! YAAAAAAAAAYYY!! :D BUT, my mom wants me to take the driver's permit test. NOOOOOOOO!!! BUT, she says that it won't matter if I passed it the first time or not, since I can always retake it. YAY?

Besides that, nothing much, not even in fanfiction terms (hadn't touched my document for Ch. 4 of MotM in months). Maybe I'll BS a one-shot or two to make up for my lack of activity.

In the meantime, what's going on ITT? </pedobear>

Been watching too much Pucca lately, and now I REALLY want to write a fanfic! :D Unfortunately, school's going to start in about a week, and I have to work on my Megaman fanfic, Matador of the Moon, in the meantime. D:

But to release part of my obsession, I shall post my top five list of my favorite VILLAINS (who take up a good portion of my list of favorites in Pucca) in the series. I had a hard time determining what positions each of them will take, so I decided to just post them mainly at random.

1) Dada: Although he technically isn't a "villain", he has proven himself as a worthy antagonist/henchman in several recent episodes, particularly beside Ring-Ring. And with his fighting skills as is (see the episode "Janitaurus")--with a possible motive to get back at Pucca's uncles or anyone else--he has the most potential out of any non-baddie character to become one. Plus, I've come to love the guy to bits! <3 <3 <3

2) Ring-Ring: Out of all the enemies that Pucca's faced, Ring-Ring is about as close to her level in strength and the most threatening, both physically and emotionally. Her abilities are fantastic, with the special effects and the goddess-like alternate form, and they pack a punch, too! And with her "crush" on Garu and jealousy of Pucca, she may be one of the coolest "soap opera bitches" in recent television history. Sure, her motives are rather bratty, but that's part of her spoiled girl persona, and I actually like that about her.

3) Tobe: [Added partly for personal fan service reasons. XP] When he isn't acting like a bumbling idiot, Tobe is quite a skilled fighter, having provided for some of the most epic action scenes in the series. True, he's probably not the stealthiest of the bunch, but you have to admit he IS persistant. Plus, he and his henchmen ninja are just ADORABLE! <3

4) Doga: Seriously, this woman needs a bigger role as a villain! D: Even though she's featured mostly in the "good/evil mixup" episodes, I would like to see her as a major villain in more episodes--at least a little more fleshed out, like perhaps how she became a witch or other similar questions like that. That, and she's WAY better than Shaman in magical powers.

5) Ssoso's "Palace of Peace": Okay, so this is NOT really my choice for the last spot, but I think those dolphins are seriously out to get Abyo. >.>

The REAL 5) Evil Ching: [Added mainly because I don't like Muji. At all. And I couldn't think of anyone else.] She only "appeared" in one episode, but I liked the concept of the best friend turning to the dark side, mainly because it provided with more emotional impact than if it was just a random person. I also liked how the "badness" level came on more gradually, rather than it just coming outright; and showing some of the markings appearing adds to it. ;)

You know, rather than talking about how (crappily) I did on my SAT today or how decently I did on my American History exam on Friday (aka: yesterday), I'd like to instead talk about the latest series that I noticed, in the last month of my school year, had boomed drastically:

Twilight. The 500+ page vampire love story that seems to have a love-hate response amongst readers, but great reviews from big-time critics like the New York Times.

I'm personally rather neutral towards what I did read. (Granted, I only read the first book and one or two chapters from the second.) There was quite a lot of description--perhaps a bit TOO much at times--which I didn't mind, and reminded me of my older fanfiction, where I would try to cram as much physical details about a character in 1-3 sentences. Bella, in my opinion, though, was rather flat, and the romance between her and Edward tend to get rather cheesy. And the lagging school drama and the wasted pages of "XX Month--still moping" should be edited or cut in places. The last couple of chapters--when a plot suddenly became apparent--were pretty good, although it ended in a cheesy romance scene again. I cannot judge if Bella is a Mary Sue, though I will admit that Edward shows signs of 'Stu-ness. Also, I will admit that she gets rather disrespectful to her father and gets rather careless, which can account for some--if not a lot of--the incidents that happen throughout the story.

Really, though, I cannot really critique this very well--especially since I simply replaced the existing characters with my favorite Robot Masters. :P Simply because I can.


So, just for the fun of it, or if you just want to vent, I'm all ears for any opinions you have on any of the books in the series, the upcoming movie, or just about the current hype going on. :)

As the title mentions, this is my first time on Livejournal. (Not in terms of having visited someone's page from time to time, but as a registered user.

I seriously don't know what to put in this! ^^; Well, for a start, you can call me Morgan "Clueless" Goat (or any nickname related to the sort; I've known people who call me Morgan or MCG), Izumo Mayasuzi (Izumo or Iz for short; recently, as a joke on my "last name", I call myself Sushi ^.^), or, if you know me from the Kirby Rainbow Resort forums, feel free to call me DOD, DemonOverlordDedede, or just silly Doddy.

Some of my interests include Classic Megaman/Rockman--especially the Robot Masters--Ape Escape, Wizard of Oz (and related series), Mario RPGs (I <3 Paper Mario stuff! And Geno, too!), Keroro Gunso/Sgt. Frog, Kirby, Professor Layton, Disgaea, Harvest Moon, Pikmin (Olimar ~<3), Muppets and Fraggle Rock (though I hadn't really been TOO interested in them in a while), and... well, that's pretty much everything off the top of my head. ^.^; I'm interested in pretty much any type of music, though rock, techno, pop, J-music, and other similar stuff (yes, even hip-hop on occasions) are more of my thing. I'm a lover of the anime art style, even though my interests lie more in cartoons and video games. I'm an anime-style artist and, not to brag, not so bad at it; but I'm always improving (I'm also improving in my music ;P ).

And I guess that's pretty much it for me. ^^; Signing off,

~ Morgan C. Goat
