you have no idea how this fandom infiltrates my RL  
Apropos of nothing, I freaking love Heero Yuy. (Okay, fine, have context. This post made me think of GW again, so I went and reread some old fics, and thus my love is bursting forth! Like a fountain!)

All you people out there who don't know (and love, love, damn it) Gundam Wing, raise your hand and get out!

Forget old school, this is Classic. This is a foundation for many a slash and anime fandom.

Everyone who likes 1x2 has read The Drums of Heaven by Sol 1056 right? If not, we're going to have to talk, and most of that talking will involve me giving you long-winded explanations as to why you must read that fic Right Now. Possibly with significant meaningful staring involved.

News: she wrote a Drums Remix, 7 years later! HERE. Eeeeeeeee. ♥

News #2: Jei, beloved author of Axiomatic + sequel, as well as Touch the World, is now on LJ @ [info]turnippatch. You know you're damn good when I still stalk you for a fandom I'm not quite in but will never quite leave. :D

Edit: And because [info]uminohikari mentioned her, I am now obliged to pimp Maldoror, who was key in making me fall head over heels for Heero. Trial and Error (1+2, various) is hilarious and sweet. </edit>

P.S. My birthday is next month (lol ages away, for real, I have so many other birthdays to celebrate first). I quit celebrating it years ago, but I've never quit using it as leverage to whore for stuff I want. This is your warning!

i remember when i used to pay attention to japan  
I've discovered one good thing about SuJu in Japan (other than how freaking hot everyone looks in their outfits askfjld WHAT is this, this is unfair, that's what - I don't care about SJ Japan, stop making me!):

Performance of Miracle!

Cut for fancams and tl;dr fangirling. )

And in a belated tribute to Cinderella (as if my entire journal/profile layout isn't already), for his birthday, I link you to someone else's post! I am lazy and awesome like that. Things you should watch with Heechul in them, because he is fantastic and sometimes really my favorite.

eight points of wonder  
I'm back from hiatus! In, and I quote, "a no-longer-on-official-hiatus-but-not-really-around-much way".

Some points that occured to me during hiatus:

01. You don't want to hear my thoughts on SuJu's Japanese version of U because I think it's awful. I don't care at all what they're doing in Japan, and I don't think they really do either, considering how unprepared everything seems.

02. [info]midgardridge is fabulous and makes me weep with both joy and sadness, because I hate hate hate following works in progress because the waits for updates kill my soul. [info]phasera and [info]aconite are lucky I love them.

03. HEECHUL'S NEW HAIR IS FUCKING SO SO SO HOT HOT. Amen and goodnight.

04. Here is Greenwood live-action drama pilot episode = GOLD. I love this series. I own the manga, licensed, and the anime, licensed. And the anime, illegally ripped on tapes, and a scanlation of one volume. I love this series A LOT.

05. Heechul gender!switch fic. If it doesn't have you dying of laughter, I honestly don't know what's wrong with you and can offer no remedy except maybe more exposure to the crack of gay thirteen-member-boy-bands and their antics on Youtube.

Cut for other interesting things! )

So I think eight is a good number to conclude on, as it is my favorite number~

In other news, [info]0sweet_tart0 has been visiting from Singapore and I loooooove her. ♥♥ It's been two years since I've seen her and she has to leave tomorrow! D: Why is my life so tragic?!

In a few days, I'll start thinking about how to whore for birthday fics. These things need warming up to, don't you know? ::practices in front of a mirror::

in this godless city, never lose sight of your dream  
Leader-sshi, I love you more than words can express. He works so hard, he bears so much responsibility, and he's so afraid of failing. The depth of his insecurity sometimes breaks my heart, because while he's far from perfect, he's so much more incredible than he believes. Leader-sshi is the one who moves me most because while I like to joke about him playing umma, he honestly depends on the other members almost more than they they depend on him - but it's really a mutual thing. That's how family works, after all.

He dreams so big. Oh angel, I hope you never lose your wings. (I hope you fall in love and I hope you have an amazing wedding and I hope all of Super Junior is there, looking on proudly. And that you can continue a long career as a radio DJ, because, baby, your voice is gold. ♥)

WHY DOES NO ONE TAKE ME SERIOUSLY T_T  
Leeteuk doesn’t like to admit it but he knows he plays favorites sometimes. There’s Kangin, of course, because there will always be Kangin – they’ve known each other forever and Leeteuk can’t help it. What Leeteuk doesn’t talk really talk about (and what other people don’t really know) is how much he loves Donghae because of the way Donghae calls him repeatedly, homesick and needing reassurance (no one else will do), or the way he will wake Leeteuk at four in the morning just to say, “Hyung, I missed you,” and the way he’s moved so easily to tears when he finally hugs Leeteuk after two months away. Leeteuk loves the way Donghae makes him feel needed and wanted. He loves the way Donghae makes him feel, above all, special.


I'M BORED. I'M TIRED OF (FAILING AT) WRITING. EVERYTHING I WRITE IS POINTLESS. I FEEL UNFUNNY. UN-INSIGHTFUL. OTHER STUFF. (SEE HOW I FAIL AT WORDS?)

Solution?

love is in the air!  
THE COMPLETELY RANDOM LOVE MEME!

Go spread some love, everyone! [info]forochel was a doll and a perfectly fabulous stalker-turned-illegitimate-daughter and did this for me. ♥

While I'm on the topic of whoring for love, I kind of want to do that fanficcers meme that was around a few months ago that I didn't pay attention to because, idk, I was dying of school at the time? :D Er.

Indulge me and do it now? It's easy:

Comment here with your favorite of the fics I've written, and why.

I'm curious! Fandoms and writings all on [info]chineseink. The tag list will probably be helpful; that or the memories... You can post anonymously if you want? Idk. Summer makes me bored. I'm off to the library!

...with this dream we called "akame"  

Sometimes I miss them.

Especially when I read fics like this. Or this.

Does anyone else? Is anyone still in this fandom? Come be nostalgic with me! They were the first time I cared about singing, hip-swiveling Asian boys being together halfway across the world from me. That's gotta count for something.

(Sometimes I get urges to fic for them. COME STOP ME.)

SuJu AU Fic Recs  
Time to try and get all these backlogged fic recs out of the way! This list is all AU fics because that's how I roll. I have about 50 other non-AU fics to rec. ::sigh:: Fandom, you require so much of me!

These are by no means all-compassing: there are plenty of AU fics/series I've adored and recced in the past. See all recs under this tag.

So yeah, let's go!

18 Super Junior AU Recs )

Hope you find some good fics in this! Maybe reread something. :D

Also! I got a new layout and new profile. :D In tribute of my recent obsession with Heechul, who is my favorite ever, except when, you know, other people are.

OH. MY. GOD.  



Someone please remind me that this boy is younger than me and thus off limits I don't care what the rest of you say omg his Chinese is so fail and he is all shyly shuffling and adorably awkward and then he starts performing. Does he remind anyone else of Hae who is all ridiculously cute until you make him dance?

OH MY GOD.

OH MY GOD.

WHY DO DANCERS ALWAYS DO THIS TO ME. FUCK. WHERE'S DONGHAE, I NEED TO CLEAN MY BRAIN WITH SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A PEDOPHILE.

But, goddamn, he's talented. ::proud::

this is a fairy tale without an ending...  
Because I promised [info]taylormercury last week that I would finish translating Donghae stuff from my Chinese book for her birthday, here it is! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MICA! May you...love Donghae more and more (insert Big Bang hand movements here), not that your love of him was ever lacking, haha.

Hopefully, the rest of you will get some enjoyment out of this too, because everyone loves Donghae, right? Or you could learn to!

the most important thing I learned in China:  
According to Chinese fans, every time Shinhwa and DBSK are in the country for a performance, they call for prostitutes.

No, I'm not kidding. )

Oh yeah, and Leeteuk has had a nose job, and Hankyung's had eyelid surgery. But that's standard knowledge.

Amazing, the things you learn in China.

fandom, i think you're confusing yourself  
Okay, so if you can be ONLY13 and still support SJM and not be anti-Zhou Mi or anti-Henry, then what the fuck are we arguing?

I thought the point was that ONLY13-ers didn't support SJM (though weren't necessarily anti-ZM/Henry).

In which case: I don't think your definition of ONLY13 fits with Super Junior's defintion of ONLY13. (Because I can see Leeteuk and Donghae and everyone, really, being ONLY13 yet still supporting SJM. Am I wrong?)

Actually, someone explain to me just what ONLY13 stands for. I'M CONFUSED.

when bored, do memes!  
Happy Birthday [info]idly & [info]partaken! I hope you're both older than me but I doubt that's the case! I'm nearing middle age now, ;_;

From [info]dear_whimsy:

01. Reply to this post (ask for the meme...) and I will pick six of your icons.
02. Make a post and talk about the icons I chose.
03. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
04. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!


Let's talk about ICONS. )

--

Also stolen from [info]dear_whimsy (and half my flist):

1. It begins with a list of all 26 letters of the alphabet.
2. Comment with something you want me to talk about that starts with one of those letters. Make me babble about anything -- TV shows, food, penguins, cheese. idk, be creative lol :D I'm sure you can think of something to make me talk about that would entertain you~ (It'd be nice if you could pick something I might have an opinion on! 8D)
3. One topic per letter but you can grab as many letters as you want :D
4. I will post a new post talking about all 26 topics given to me!


ALPHABET. )

BTW: GUESS WHOSE CROTCH IS IN MY ICON. If I harrassed you over AIM/MSN about it, you're automatically disqualified. :(
