From:

*feels flattered*

Yay for Karen ! That makes me feel happy <3 (I could soooo be a stylish prostitute in an unrequited love for a sweet married man) *blinks* Except for the catholic thing of course XD

From:

1. When I noticed you friended me first ^^u
2. Because we had talked before, I thought you were interested and... you friended me first ^^uu

Thanks Et!!

From:

You know when I friended you, I was surprised I hadn't done so earlier. I was persuaded I had done so after the little discussion when I tried to persuade you into joining togakushishrine ^^

and I like weird people :p

From:

And even if I did join togakushishrine, I never know what to say... maybe it's because I can't seem to do X fics, so I can't be comfortable delurking, and since nobody knows me there I'm cohibid for giving my opinions in chara analysis. But I do read the stuff, occasionally.

But then again, I lurked a couple of months in tsukimineshrine before I actually wrote something. But the main difference is, I'm more passive in the X fandom than in the CCS fandom.

'Tis sad. But you did persuade me to join!

From:

I'm not sure what "cohibid" means, but i see no reason why you couldn't be able to participate in the Discussions. I'm sure more people know you there than you are aware (for one all the people who are at Tsukimine Shrine too)

it's not sad as long as you enjoy reading it. I hope you do >_>

From:

Oh, sorry, I made up a word from Spanish. I meant cohibited (restraining for shyness).

It's just that, I don't know, I still had no idea what to say. The X characters are too complex so it scares me a little getting into their heads. There are some of them I can't classify under like or dislike, as they're too strange for me to love or hate (for instance, Seishirou).

But I do like to lurk and see people talking and inventing ^_^

From:

ooo-kay, as long as you're having fun ^_^

(hehehe, I love Seishirou because he's so weird)

Last year? I think? *fuzzy memory* Maybe the tail end of last year or the beginning of this one, I believe.

Not that I can think of at this moment x.o;

If your personality irl is the same as online, most definitely.

Whenever you post.

7. What do we have in common?
Love for manga and Tori Amos!

8. Will you post this in your journal so I can answer?
Probably.

Erm...going to go with Karen here; I'm influenced by other responses on this thread. *grin*

From:

Not complaining XD
Sooo... We've established that Karen really is Tori Amos, and we already know that Tori Amos is Delirium... does that mean Karen is Delirium ? Makes for interesting crossovers...

From:

1. When did you first "friend" me?
- A few months ago?

2. Why did you first "friend" me?
- You seemed cool and came highly reccomended. Seriously, I don't friend people unless someone else gives them a recc. It's just good LJ policy.

3. What posts of mine do you like to read the best?
- FANDOM STUFF. You roxx0r for fandom stuff.

4. What would you like me to write about that I don't?
- Me. The world needs to sing my praises, you just don't do enough of that. ;P

5. Do you think we would be friends in real life?
- Almost certainly. n.n I think we'd get along rather famously.

6. How often do you read my journal?
- Whenever it pops up on my flist.

7. What do we have in common?
- We can banter with flare, writery-ness, we like the same fandom... need I go on?

8. Will you post this in your journal so I can answer?
- That's the idea. n.n

9. Do I actually resemble any fandom character in your eyes?
- For you, that's a tough one. Dork Fuuma. The only person besides myself I'd attribute him to in this entire fandom.

*blinks* I was recced ?? XDD Okay now I imagine LJ as some sort of Jane Austen society where people have to be formaly introduced by a go between... >_>

- Me. The world needs to sing my praises, you just don't do enough of that. ;P
Oooh, I definitly need to rectify that. *nodsnods*

*sweetdrop* Ooo-kay... I'm the strong, silent type of seme who's really the reincarnation of Yasha-Ou ? Wow. That's a first ^_^

From:

And don't forget! Jealous, intense, and slightly insane! ;P

From:

Intense, I can understand, but when does dork!Fuuma acts jealous and slightly insane ?

From:

Jealousy: Exhibited when he and Kamui made their promise. Kamui first makes it to Kotori, leaving Fuuma completely out of the picture. (his promise being, I believe, that someday he will wed her) You have to look closely, but you can see that Fuuma is jealous, he immediately promises that he in return with protect Kamui (and Kotori as well)- Kamui is forced to acknowledge Fuuma and promises back that he will protect him as well.

Insanity: A few panels in the first few manga of X (2 or 3 I believe) depict a dream Kotori's is having wherein their mother has just died in the operating room. The dream flashes back to her and Fuuma finding their mother - who has just birthed the shinken, and thus is a bloody mess - Fuuma (in a gesture totally inappropriate for the completely sane) dips a few fingers into the blood and proceeds to lick it and smear a bit on his face.

;P I think I'm the only person in the world who actually paid attention to Dork!Fuuma, and thus, read those manga in detail. But I can't help it! Fuuma and Subaru are my favorite characters. :/

From:

Exhibited when he and Kamui made their promise

Hmmm *checks the manga*
That's not exactly how i see it. In my translation (in vol1) Kamui says he wants to become Kotori's wife, and Fuuma says okay, but only if you promise never to hurt her and to protect. They do the little cross finger promise thing.

Of course I know there's another scene where Fuuma, then Kotori, promise protecting Kamui *needs to look more*

oh right----- the following of that scene is in vol6
Kamui says : "i promise"
Fuuma goes on "ok then I too, if you promise to always protect Kotori, then I will protect you Kamui. (big one page pannel) if someone makes you cry, i'll protect you from them.
Then Kotori jumps in (she's the jealous one i guess ^^) "me tooo ! if someone makes you cry, i will be very mad ! I'm not very good at that, but I will be mad anyway."

So i don't really see Fuuma acting out of jealousy in this. In fact Kamui never promised to protect Fuuma that I can see. That is, if the translations i got are allright...

Fuuma (in a gesture totally inappropriate for the completely sane) dips a few fingers into the blood and proceeds to lick it and smear a bit on his face.
*nods* not in vol 2 i think, but i always understood that Fuuma was acting as "Kamui" in that scene. In fact in the scene we see this flash back Kanoe (i think or maybe Hinoto) is narrating saying that that day Fuuma took the first step into being Kamui's twin star.
Though I suppose that's only depending on how much you think "Kamui" is of Fuuma's real personnality.

Hey ! I like Dork!Fuuma too. It's jsut hard to pay that much attention to him compared to the sexiness of Kamui!Fuuma ^_^

From:

Pfft. I don't read the english translation, I'm too 1337 for that. ;P To me from the language they use in the japanese ver. it sounds more like I described. Might be different in the english ver.

And I personally think that 'Kamui' and Fuuma have to be more intertwined than clamp lets on if he was exhibiting that kind of behavior at such a very young age.

From:

yeah, show off you mad japanese skillz... i'm learning and someone I'll show you my japanese fu is better than your japanese fu *strikes a basic shounen pause*
However you just handwaived my long winded argument with a "I know better" ;_; come on, proove it !

I think so far we have some clues about the interelations between Fuuma, "Kamui", and Kamui, but not enough to have a definite answer (well personnaly it puzzles me) I think it's one of the last mystery that will be revealed at the end of the manga (when they eventually finish it) Obviously whatever it is, he was destinned for it at a very young ange (if not since conception); so i suppose you can claim the whole dual personnality as insanity indeed XD

Drabble is ultra cool and pretty. <3

1. This summer.
2. You appeared in my journal to share my love of masturbatory X fic. ^^
3. I love your fic writing, but I read whatever you post.
4. I love when my friends in other countries post snippets of their lives that show how vastly different things are in countries other than the US, so uh, snapshots of France? I don't know, I'm bad at this question.
5. This question always throws me, because it's kind of tricky, but I assume so. <3
6. As often as you post, because I check my flist regularly.
7. X fandom, mainly. XD Maybe I should be less superficial and try to do this in a personality sense, but I'm kind of sleepy at the moment.
8. Maybe.
9. I strongly associate you with that "kiss kiss!" Karen icon, even though you aren't using it anymore. So much so that when Kelsey uses it, I get half way through the post before I realize that it isn't you.

Thank you ! I'm glad you liked it ^^

Okay, I'll try. Though that's difficult because I have no clue how it is living in the US.

Love that icon. As soon as Kelsey is done with it, i'll snatch it back XD
