If you want to friend me, or more importantly, would like me to friend you back, please comment here.
Just make sure we have some common interests or I at least know you from somewhere (youtube, fanfiction, or even the Real World. Gasp.). I promise I'm not a friendingsnob. :)
NOOOOOOO.
( Twilight rant. )
I know there's a trend going on here: Hollywood doesn't want original material anymore, so it's turned to children's books (Harry Potter, Golden Compass) and teen sensations (Twilight) for source material. Because a recognized name is more bankable than a totally new one. And I'm actually kind of excited that they're turning their exploitive gaze toward anime because, hey, American live-action will be interesting if nothing else.
At any rate, I am displeased with the camp of the upcoming Dragonball movie, but I think that they may have a little more luck (IF they do it right) with Cowboy Bebop (YES, LIVE-ACTION seems to be A GO!).
( And I will discuss my reasons under this cut, because I figure this also qualifies as rantage. )
Finally, on the current Bleach? Yosh for *mystery spoiler person in 443* showing up, but boo for Ulqui-Ichi-Hime Triangle of Intensity being broken. I was expecting Hime to have a major revelation and finally do some kick-ass thing (well... I can hope). KT is such a tease to us fangirls. I'm still holding out hope that we'll get some more UlquiHime, but we've gotten such a wealth of it in the last few chapters that I can't really ask for much more of it. It's supposed to be crack, after all. KT wouldn't want to let on that he is totally on it.
*loves him to death for 441 and 442 and the creation of Bleach in general*
Life has been a little bit of a drag lately. It should melt away with the winter, but I have a few months to wait.
Fandom: Full Moon wo Sagashite
Subject: Shinigami
Title: Amen
Warnings: Spoil, spoil, spoil. Please read the entire manga before reading the commentary on this mix. This series is full of soap-opera-style twists and turns, and I love it so much that I really don't want to ruin any of it for you.
Notes: An FST for Full Moon, based heavily on the manga (in contrast to the anime). Made for the sad lack of mixes to any Arina Tanemura work, and because I love this series to death - not the happy-go-lucky anime. The manga, as any hardcore Full Moon fan knows, is a whole lot darker, for better or worse. (Angst, might I add, with a happy ending! Remarkable!)Shinigami is the topic, but it extends to Eichi and, of course, shinigami interaction with Mitsuki. Ah, come on. Cover art is pretty. You know you want it~. All songs wallow in angst, except for the two (bonus) shippy-songs, that are too happy for my super-exclusive angst-muffin mix!
( only angels have wings/and the rest must wait to be saved )
(Directions:) Post the first sentence of your last twenty stories. Are there any patterns?

I thought I was over the whole Twilight thing - I'm not the kind of person who's like, "Oh, now that's mainstream and I don't like it any more". I'd just lost the Twilight fever.
But now I find out Breaking Dawn is coming out in 3 days, 2 hours, and 49 seconds (less, now) and see the completely awesome and squee worthy cover (chess pieces! can you get any more
I'm definitely not buying it hardcover, but I reallyreally hope one of my friends is so I can borrow it off of her. *_* That is, be a cheap moocher. Yeaaah me!
Question: why is the whole world hatin' on Jacob?
Also: the queen on the cover. When I saw it, I thought of Alice, but it's probably representing Bella. Any other thoughts?
Discuss.
Bleach - Princess in Waiting - Inoue Orihime
medium:anime/manga
fandom: Bleach
subject: Inoue Orihime
title: Princess in Waiting
warnings: Spoilers to the Hueco Mundo arc.
notes: IchiHime is prevalent, IshiHime finds a way to squeeze in. I think I did better on this mix; especially the cover (joy!) . My notes aren't very compelling or helpful, I'm afraid, but sometimes I think people just skip overy commentary, anyway, sooo...
Bleach, xxxHolic, Romeo+Juliet, Eyeshield 21, misc.
Lots of variations. :D Lots of Orihime. Lots of improvement? I hope?
Ah, Kimihiro. I want to glomp you. And, um, maybe other things, too.
Credit me, please. Comments are appreciated, too. :] If you want, you can edit the text on Hiyori and Yumi; that's totally fine. Otherwise, no bases.
Resources?
Can I stress it enough? Such a cool movie. *_*
(And I want a Harley Quinn icon, now, pls.)

First, a piece of fanart that I posted to the UlquiHime FC on Bleach Asylum, plus a banner to go with! Ulquiorra and Orihime as Hades and Persephone. <3 My attempted fanart is very sketchy/messy... Feel free to resize the banner to suit your needs.
And now. ICONS.
Credit like this, please. And comment if you like them. ^^
Rules? Credit, please (like so). No using as bases unless you ask (but if you ask nicely, you will most certainly be given permission). I'd really appreicate a comment if you're snagging, but it's not necessary. I'm such a n00b to photoshop that I'll be flattered if you want to take them at all. ^^
They're actually pretty this time! *o* (The SK ones turned out especially nicely.)
1. My username is shinebunny because a friend of mine nicknamed me 'shiny' and I have a (natural) obsession with bunnies. I also wanted something unique, because before this I was in the n00bish habit of stealing my usernames right out of fandom. (@_@ Ooooh, it burns.) The result was cute, and I like cute.
2. My name is - - - because my parents couldn't decide on something appropriately saintly/cute for me. My dad was all for something relgious/family-related, top picks being winners like Josephina (which would have given me the feminine form of three of my male relations, and which I personally think is going overboard with the whole family thing). My mother was much more light-hearted on the matter and leaned more toward Chloe, which is absolutely adorable, even though I really can't picture myself as a Chloe. Eventually they were agreed: there was the name that I have today or... Valentina.
3. My journal is titled
4. My friends page is called 'our little group (and yet, I guess it makes me smile)' because I was in a 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' mood when customizing my journal. I might change it later. I'm not even a huge Nirvana fan. I just like the tone of that song. :] And I decided to jump on the lyrics bandwagon.
5. My default userpic is
because, like I said, I'm a sucker for all things cute. I'm proud because I actually drew this, as well. :D Yay me. I like being artistic. Kind of. ===
... I'd also like to take this oppurtunity to pimp out my new writing comm. I figured I wouldn't plague my f-list with my fanfiction anymore, and also had a desire to seperate the memes, fangirlish squeals, and Real Life from all that oh-so-serious, ahem, work that I do. For this reason, I've opened
So check it out? Watch it if you're interested? Don't feel obligated if you're not here for the fanfiction. ;)
Step 2: Post a line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song. ((I cheated to avoid repeating some artists - although some are repeated - and to avoid songs in other languages and instrumentals. To make it more fun. You've been warned.))
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: No cheating. No Googling. AND NO LAST.FM SEARCHING! :))

/edit/ actually, realized I did 26, not including the bonus... sorry about that.
Title: The Rainy Season
Author’s Name:
shinebunny (thanks to Word Count: 3,539
Squicks/Spoilers: - Spoilers for Tamaki’s mother (manga) and, obviously, Éclair (anime). Excuse my French. I speak some, but only about the equivalent of a three year old‘s. (If any of it is wrong, I won't take it the wrong way if you want to correct me. And... I'm sorry there's still a missing circumflex...) There was going to be more, but I felt insecure in my own abilities and google translate only confused me further (not like it’s good for much…).
a/n: It turned out more like a series of vignettes, but I did try to have it ‘unravel’. I’m so glad to have gotten an EclairxTamaki, though; it’s a pairing I’ve never expressly written for, but I really like the possibilities of it. I really I did well enough!
Summary: Éclair has half-tried. He’s half-here.
( It's lightning and thunder, tonight. )
“My mother?” he finally asks, and she’s grateful there’re no tears in his voice. His voice relaxes her, helps to calm her down and look at him again.
Requester’s Name:
Pairing or Character: Tamaki/Eclair
Rating: T
... And I'm sorry if I spelled his name wrong again.
Also, I'm sorry f-list, but I'm going to be scarring your brain with (more) Noi-Noi. xD
title: Baby Robot
fandom: Bleach
rating: K+, Jinta has a bit of a potty mouth, Urahara is slightly suggestive
subject: Urahara, Ururu, the Shoten crew; appearances from others
pairings: None, really; some are implied
a/n: I wanted something a little more pointed, a little more angsty, but I couldn't seem to hit that point of between the drowning-in-introspection style I ususally have and an actual scene, so it turned out as a choppy series of scenes with various degrees of seriousness. The last bit sums it up, really. Ururu and Urahara's relationship is incredible: this panel proves it. I want to give it more love. (Then again, I also want some Urahara and Hiyori love, so maybe I'm just nuts.)
(Btw, I don't know if Ururu is some kind of robot Kisuke created or not. She's one of Bleach's many enigmas. I pretend she is, because, well, that's where my money is.)
I have pressing matters I should be attending to, so of course I wrote fanfiction. I didn't refine this very much, though, sorry about that. ;__; Hope someone still likes it.
Please give credit if you happen to use them. I don't mind if you alter them or add text to textless icons, but please remember to credit back to me. ^^
In totally unrelated news... Bleach 315 made my week, and pretty much prompted the icon frenzy. Ulquiorra's return was so much sexier than I imagined.
.. I think I need to go get a life now. ;)
fandom: Gentlemen's Alliance [Shinshi Doumei Cross]
pairing: Kamiya Maika/Otomiya Itsuki
prompts: #4, our distance and that person
disclaimer: The characters and storyline off of which this is based belong to the talented Arina Tanemura. Not me. ^^ Also, there are huge spoilers throughout Ashes for Gentlemen's Alliance chapters 34-35 and beyond. Proceed with caution.
