Been on the lookout for good songs I could potentially make TOZ AMVs of, even maybe the anime which as a fanvid editor I view as a necessary evil, Zayde Wolf and RAIGN seem to have good songs for the mood I'm going for

Hidden Citizens would also be a good fit

In the grand scheme of how long it's been going on, I've been in the fandom for D. Gray Man for a miniscule amount of time, but the trio of Allen, Lenalee, and Lavi has stolen my heart so quickly and I desperately need to write something cute with all of them. Even if it's something small based off, I don't know, "Running in the Night" in all its pseudo 80s goodness, I don't care.

updated August 12 2018, now with more sequel based stories!

While this can be used by others like a rec list, I'm doing this for more a personal catalogue type of deal, of anything I read to completion (or a significant portion of in the case of WIPs).

Despite what I said last time about what shows I was likely going to continue or finish, I started watching Captain Earth and will continue streaming it until I finish. It's a show I have a lot of mixed feelings about. The first episode I enjoyed a lot, I thought it did a really good job of introducing me to the world while keeping a mystery to intrigue, and following episodes haven't quite lived up to that feeling.

It's a fun show and has likeable characters, but I often feel lost amongst the technobabble and show-specific terms, and oh my god the fanservice is so bad! I know that's the environment anime is in these days, but not only it often out of place its also kind of gross because the show continuously reminds its audience its doing panty shots and other such drek towards characters who are minors. Moco I at least appreciate that they didn't even hide what she's for, but poor Hana is just not a character because they want to use her inexperience with the world to appeal to perverts. (so there's infantilization on top of ephebophilia, "disgust" is too kind a word for this type of writing)

I only just finished 14 episodes and just now it gave her some focus and some semblance of identity. It came with suddenly confessing love to our hero, which I so don't believe, but it was at least something this far into the show! I hope this is steering her in a better direction, but only time will tell if I'll like it or not.

Also, while I am fully aware of its flaws, I'm surprised there seems to be virtually no fan activity for this show, I expect Crunchyroll shows like this to be more popular.

(Also, this may not happen, but since its been a year of me finally catching up with Attack on Titan and becoming part of the fandom, I'm thinking of rewatching the show. Might help me get some inspiration again for working on fanfic ideas I've been holding on to for too long)

It's a good thing I already got spoiled/figured stuff out for myself in regards to attack on titan, because people saying the identity of the colossus titan shifter in ebay would have seriously pissed me off otherwise

i mean it still irritates me in a "wow, way to be a dick" way but i'm not personally affected by it

I had a dream last night that, among other things, involved what was supposedly a live-action Evangelion. It also had a different setup than the original series or Rebuild, but for some reason it related to Mockingjay? I don't even get that, since i never read past Catching Fire but anyway -

I'm kind of mad this isn't a real thing, because the guy my subconscious mind pictured as Kaworu was the most adorable actor ever! Like, he had these really good subtle expressions that fit the character so well and I want this to actually exist so I can bask in the cute talent

I've noticed while looking through notes that I have a very bad habit of setting every conversation of a story between two characters and only two. There are only so many times I can have two people go off to drink tea or whatever other activity I'm using to set the scene while they chat before readers get bored.

I can never be succinct in my writing. Like, I have this prompt someone wrote in a meme and I thought "Hey, this involves a character I actually like but a lot of people act like he doesn't exist" and I thought it would only be a few parts and mostly simple. Then my imagination is like "THROW EVERYTHING AT THE WALL" and now I have what could be considered a character arc that has some slight rising action and I have to come up with the falling action and satisfying conclusion to this too if I want to feel proud enough to post the finished product and blaaaaaargh! It was supposed to be short, brain, what are you doing to me?!
