So I drop one angry guy and app another angry guy.

...

Yeah, that would go over well. I think I better wait out this finished-a-new-game rush before doing anything stupid. But augh, I'm getting random KH muses all over the place.

In related news, Birth by Sleep has my favorite battle system of the series so far. And I think it's the first one since the beginning of KH2 to make me cry. Very good game.

I love how there's so much spazzing and debate now that there's a picture of Ienzo for BBS. Man, KH fandom, never change.

He's so adorable. So, so freaking adorable.

So I got the new KH the day it came out. (Actually, my brother bought it for me because he owes me a lot of money.) I'm on day 150 or so now, just cleared a recon mission with Xaldin. (Hope that's not too much of a spoiler?)

It's pretty good for a mission-based game. I do get tired of returning to the Grey Area, but at least the Organization members change it up every few days. I'm amused that Demyx is notably different from how fandom has perceived him, and Xigbar throws out nicknames a lot. Still waiting to hear more on Luxord. His early comment about missing half the poker league just... I can imagine them sitting down and trying to play poker. Luxord would always play dealer just so he could say, "And the win goes to the house. Again."

Won't say anything about the main trio, except for the fact that Roxas is such a :|-faced derp. Hilarious.

I've been clearing Mission Mode by myself, and I'm noticing just how much harder it is without Organization backup. I don't want to tackle the later Agrabah missions by myself, since if there's one thing Demyx did right, it was spam potions whenever he was dying (and that happened a lot).

( Edit: Demyx and his 'awesome' - cut for 'spoilers' for Casual Gear and Mystery Gear )

All I will say about the game for now is...

I can just imagine the fanbratty "OMG THEY DON'T PRONOUNCE THE ORG'S NAMES AS I THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE SQUARE I HAET U" rants. Mar-luu-shaa. Zex-ee-in. If it was to be pronounced Mar-luck-see-ah, they would have romanized his name Ma-ru-ku-shi-a, not Ma-ru-sha.

It's not the end of the world. Calm down.

I wouldn't know this, but did fandom throw fits over how Saix was pronounced?

Spent the day (when my internet was working) looking at old RP threads. Good times, good times...

( Vortexx: Sync and Florian )

And that's just an example of why Mari is the best Florian ever. ♥

( ISLAND: Sync and Anise )

... Sync and Anise getting handcuffed together on Valentine's Day was pure love. One of the Island events I managed to stay on top of.

( Ville de Lumiere: Zexion and Demyx )

And Zexion getting drunk on his first day working in a host club... Well. Enough said.


( Shukusei: Tir, Sheena, Cleo, Ted, Maximillian, Fred, and Viki )

The epic proportions of the AWESOMENESS of Shukusei still leaves me in awe to this day. T_T

Well, Organization smut. Short, drug-induced, yaoi, and NSFW (well, duh). As a disclaimer (ha ha, here it comes), the two guys involved are of age and blah blah blah.

Characters: Zexion, Marluxia
Rating: NSFW; non-con (drugged), some bondage
Summary: Marluxia tests an experimental drug on one of the more difficult Organization members to catch off-guard. Skips straight to the sex because I'm impatient.

( He could not stop shaking. )


Characters: Zexion, Lexaeus
Rating: 15+; some blood
Summary: In the aftermath, Lexaeus tries to get Zexion to drink some tea.

( He could not smell. )

Bleh. I can't seem to do anything productive at home. Which is weird, because I'm actually doing some writing once in awhile. *gestures at meme below* Hm. Here's hoping I actually feel productive when I get back to the apartment.

Graduation's on Saturday. I ... don't know what to think. My brain's kinda shut down or something. O_o

Stolen from hopechan:
If you happen to be working on some creative writing project, fanfiction or NaNoWriMo or what have you, post one sentence (or more) from each of your current work(s) in progress in your journal. It should probably be your favourite or most intriguing sentence so far, but what you choose is entirely your discretion.

( Kingdom Hearts: The Tragic Kingdom (working title) )

And now something longer and decidedly finished, if unpolished. Inspired by (and loosely based on) Entranceway and very much a Lex/Zex fic.

( Kingdom Hearts: Matters of the Heart )

First off, I got the internship offer. Only took nine weeks. Yeow. I just need stuff in writing. I'm giddy at the idea that I'll be getting security cards, an ID badge, and all that swanky big corporation stuff. >_> Thank you to everyone that's wished me luck or congratulated me in some way. ^^

We're not moving out of the apartment. Well, as a family, we decided on that. I need to talk to management on Tuesday to see if we can extend our lease a few months while my internship is in effect. If I get a full-time position, I'll probably end up moving in September.

We went to dim sum and then bouldering (read: rock climbing without needing equipment) today. It took the entire day, but I guess I had fun. I'm pretty sure my upper torso (arms especially) is going to hurt like hell tomorrow. I couldn't even do things that required clenching my hands, like opening bottles or boxes. If I was more fit, I think I'd like climbing, though.

I'm gonna be going home between the end of class and graduation. I need to learn how to drive. Sigh.

Kingdom Hearts has eaten my brain. I've been slowly building the foundations of another fanfic (another epic, natch) with a big old AU stamp on it. I've written enough of it to come to the conclusion that I suck at writing Axel. Lovely.

Speaking of KH fanfics, there's also inspiration for Zexion vs. Albert Silverberg. Oh dear, oh dear.

( And here's me writing straight to this entry with a time limit of ten minutes )

My throat is annoying me. It's been sore and I've been coughing for about a weak (but am otherwise fine), and karaoke on Saturday didn't help the problem much. But who can resist singing when you go out to karaoke?

So our class is going to be looking at Flickr for our 407 help system. Lovely... I mixed it up with Twitter, so now I'm annoyed at myself and embarrassed for jumping to conclusions. Blah.

In muse talk, Organization XIII has moved into my head. Although my favorite is Zexion, Xigbar and Saix are the loudest in my head. And I don't understand the appeal of "Zemyx." I've decided I prefer antagonists that function as a group over individual villains. The ideas of some of the groups interacting are very interesting--the Destroyers, the God-Generals, the Oniwabanshu, Organization XIII, and on and on and on...

What else...? Oh, I finished Suikoden II with both the Rune of Beginning ending and the best ending. I totally forgot about the little scene at the end where the three go to see Jillia and Pilika and Pilika runs over to Jowy (which we don't actually see; all we see is Nanami and Riou walking and Jowy running to catch up with them). So cute.

Now I'm into Rogue Galaxy, which my brother got a long time ago and neither of us ever touched. I clocked in over 10 hours on it this weekend--it's a really good game. My brother joked that the battle system was "what Final Fantasy XII should've been." I laughed.

Mm... Went to Jen's house again and just played card games for a few hours with the other officers. Didn't think it'd be that exciting, but I'm glad I went; playing Mao and Dirty Minds led to ... lots of cracking up.

Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix + Re: Chain of Memories looks incredibly nice. I'd really like to see how they tie in the extra boss battles... Dream sequences? Castle Oblivion again? Considering Final Mix is the American version ported to Japan with additional content, I hope they bring it over.

Clearing Toran Castle in Suikoden again. Forgot just how massive the caverns in the castle actually are...
