makeste: (Oh wow! Windows!)
So this review is late, of course, because I've been feeling crappy for most of the week and haven't been online much (I was getting headaches from looking at the monitor screen because I was so out of it XD). But happily, I am finally feeling better (and thanks to everyone who sent healthy thoughts and well wishes ♥), so I'm going to roll up my sleeves and do some serious LJing. STAND BACK, I'M COMING IN.

First up: Catching up with this week's markedly underwhelming chapter of KHR!

I give it a hearty 'meh.' )
makeste: (GENKISHI used WALL!)
:'D That one. Am I doing it right? I mean, both laughing and crying, it looks like. Which, given the material Amano provided this week, seems highly appropriate.

:'D )


And before I go, Happy Birthday, [livejournal.com profile] snowpoison (or almost, in this timezone, anyway)! Hope you have an awesome day. ♥ Also, just a general heads up, I'm going to be even flakier about comments than usual which is saying something for the next few days, seeing as I am fighting off a monster of a cold which may be partially responsible for my finding this chapter as amusing as I did. YAY COLD MEDS. |D
makeste: (Oh boy! Sleep!)
Have some ridiculous bling, kid. It's on me.

Title: Finger Half Gloves
Rating: PG-13 (for language)
Characters: Tsuna, Giotto, and Enma (with special cameo appearance by Talbot!)
Notes/Warnings: Spoilers through chapter 300; also, warning for general crackiness.
Summary: There's no problem a good old-fashioned shounen upgrade can't solve.

'They also glow in the dark.' )


And Happy Birthday to [livejournal.com profile] dramaelf, [livejournal.com profile] hasu_messiiah, and [livejournal.com profile] larawalker! Also to [livejournal.com profile] cleartempest and [livejournal.com profile] coconabanana, whose birthdays are coming up tomorrow! BUON COMPLEANNO, AMICI. ♥

Reborn 309!

makeste: (I'm the next act)
Now with +5 badtouch and +10 wtf stats! I'm not sure what to make of this!

Especially since I don't even play D&D! )


And welcome to [livejournal.com profile] mychemical_lust and [livejournal.com profile] demoerin from the friend meme! I LOOK FORWARD TO MAKING BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES TOGETHER. ♥ BUT NOT IN THE CREEPY JULIE WAY, LET'S JUST BE CLEAR.
makeste: (Fly casual)
For KHR 308, that is. Despite the fact that EVERYONE ON MY FLIST seemed to be posting about this chapter, which made me hella curious (I was waiting for IEM's release). IT WAS PRETTY TORTUROUS. But hopefully worth it!

Let's just take a look-see, then! )


And Happy Birthday to [livejournal.com profile] neon_pocky, [livejournal.com profile] reflectives, [livejournal.com profile] rikasaurus, [livejournal.com profile] migi_47, and [livejournal.com profile] abyssed! SO MANY BIRTHDAYS THAT I HAVE MISSED. Many happy returns to all of you guys, and AARIKA SOB THIS MEANS I AM OFFICIALLY A YEAR LATE ON THAT RYOHEI DRABBLE (do you even remember that lol). SOB THIS IS WHY I NEVER DO GIFTFIC. It's basically like saying, "Happy Birthday! Here, HAVE A GIANT BOX OF DISAPPOINTMENT." XD
makeste: (I'm not the next of them)
Because like any reasonable person, I adore the heck out of Vongola's beloved failboss, and because it's been too long since I experienced the addictive joys of FST-making.

KHR 307

makeste: (I'M A SHAAAAAARK)
[blah blah I still haven't caught up with comments yet]

[blah blah failed witty attempt to segue into chapter review] )


P.S. Happy Belated Birthday to [livejournal.com profile] waterlemon_chi and [livejournal.com profile] beruichi! ♥ Also, whoa, what happened to the little LJ toolbar icons, this is weird. *_*
makeste: (I am waiting for something to go wrong)
And another day of logging in and seeing this:



I have decided this is what I will be devoting my weekend to. I AM GOING TO DEMOLISH THAT NUMBER PIECE BY PIECE.

But in the meantime...

KHR 306, now with 50% more Naruto references! )

And happy belated birthday to [livejournal.com profile] achiasa, [livejournal.com profile] masanami, and [livejournal.com profile] draconianangel! MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU. <3
makeste: (Sweet coincidence of Port-au-Prince!)
Again with the infrequent updating! Anyway, Happy Birthday to [livejournal.com profile] cobizah! Sorry I'm late, but I hope you had fun. ♥

I feel like it was someone else's birthday too yesterday. Someone I ought to remember, someone I've posted about in the past some 88 different times. It's on the tip of my tongue... damn it, who could it be?!

...Kawahira?? )
makeste: (He took home the gold.)
Since they are supposed to be funny and all. Maybe it's the "supposed to be" part. Or maybe they're like. TRAGICOMEDIES or something.

I take no responsibility if reading these makes anyone dumber by osmosis.

Title: The Byakuran Society
Rating: PG
Characters: Byakuran
Notes/Warnings: Spoilers through chapter 261.
Summary: You know that thing he does where he meditates and communicates with his other selves? It turns out those meetings are pretty fabulous.

'I now call this meeting of the Byakuran Society to order.' )

Title: Everybody Hurts Sometimes
Rating: PG
Characters: Everyone's favorite Shimon family!
Notes/Warnings: Spoilers for the most recent manga chapters; I've also taken some speculative liberties regarding the conclusion of this arc. Also everyone is wildly OOC.
Summary: A broken heart brings a family together.

'We were going to get *married*!' )


And welcome to [livejournal.com profile] reflectives, [livejournal.com profile] mycolor, [livejournal.com profile] umi_no_suzume, [livejournal.com profile] imbrifer, [livejournal.com profile] snowpoison, [livejournal.com profile] bearit, and [livejournal.com profile] victims from the KHR friending meme! ♥ I HOPE THIS POST HAS NOT GIVEN YOU THE WRONG IMPRESSION OF ME. Actually, who am I kidding. It's exactly the correct impression. XD
makeste: (I'm here to kick ass and play card games)
TIME SURE FLIES WHEN YOU'RE BUSY NOT UPDATING YOUR JOURNAL LIKE YOU OUGHT TO BE. I have like 30-something comments that I have yet to reply to. I wish I could say this wasn't a common occurrence. XD Sorry, guys.

1. Happy Birthday to [livejournal.com profile] kat8cha, [livejournal.com profile] starlinglove, and [livejournal.com profile] fishkro! That's interesting; it appears that the end of August/start of September is a prime time for awesome people to be born. Hope you all had fun! ♥

2. For the record, I have no issue if anyone wants to link my public posts to Facebook or Twitter or wherever. If I did, they wouldn't be public posts. So go ahead (not that I really think anyone was lining up to do that in the first place).

3. AHA! KHR 304! You thought you could sneak up on me when I wasn't looking, didn't you?

Well, you sure did! Congratulations! )
makeste: (VICTOLY)
Say what you will about Binktopia, but they are fast. (And what with OP going on break for a month, next week they'll probably be even faster. I could get used to this...)

Anyway, time to get our shounen on. )
makeste: (I'M A SHAAAAAARK)
Just a quick side note before I jump in here--I'm heading up to Lake George tomorrow to go camping for the weekend, so in all likelihood I'll be MIA until Sunday night at the earliest. There is supposedly Wi-Fi access in select parts of the campground I'm staying at, but even if I do manage to get online at some point, I probably won't have much time for LJ antics. So have a good weekend, everyone. ♥








--oh, right. The chapter. XD

Silly me. )

And since I won't be around tomorrow, as mentioned, Happy Birthday, [livejournal.com profile] mecomptane! PEACE, ALL.
makeste: (GENKISHI used WALL!)
But I can guarantee that if for some reason I still wasn't feeling it before chapter 10, then by the time I reached the end of this chapter, I was a fan for life.

In which the word 'crack' is redefined. )

Also, [livejournal.com profile] dismahboomstick, I hope you had a happy birthday several days ago orz!
makeste: (Cuz I'm bluffin' with mah muffin)
God, it's been like... two months since I last did one of these. And since last week's Jump was apparently a double issue (meaning that in all likelihood we will not get a new chapter this week) (insert weeping here), I'm going to need something to pass the time, damn it.

SO, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LET'S REVISIT CHAPTER 9.

In which someone at Shueisha finally wised up to the fact that they could have a hit on their hands if they could only get this mangaka to include some sort of... fanservice. )
makeste: (VICTOLY)
SPOILERS! IT'S THIS GUY!

NOW GUESS WHO'S TOTALLY THRILLED TO HEAR THIS NEWS.

SPOILERS! I AM.

:D

Anyway. Aside from that, I have some fanfic recs!

FOR A GOOD TIME, CALL ###-####, OR YOU COULD JUST CLICK THIS CUT. )
makeste: (Charlieeeeee)
I've been struggling with Writer's Block recently, so I figured I'd take a break from the angsty stuff I was working on and cleanse my soul with some refreshing crack.

So I wrote a bunch of really stupid fics.

Title: Twins
Rating: PG-13 (really it's pretty much G with some swearing)
Characters: Ganauche III and Coyote Nougat
Notes/Warnings: Spoilers for the newest arc, I guess? Also warning for general stupidity.
Summary: It's not that the Nonos are completely useless; it's just that they don't really give a damn.

'I said, someone kidnapped the boss.' )

Title: Mi Casa es Su Casa
Rating: PG-13 (again, for language only)
Characters: Primos!
Notes/Warnings: Spoilers through chapter 299, as well as for the Primo Arc in the anime. Further warnings for "god why would someone write this."
Summary: After spoilers happen, Primo and several of his guardians find themselves temporarily homeless.

'You guys, it’s really cramped in here,' Ugetsu de gozarued unhappily. )

Title: Tornado Punch
Rating: PG
Characters: Gokudera and Yamamoto
Notes/Warnings: May contain some butchering of your childhood.
Summary: In which Gokudera and Yamamoto have a Pokemon battle, because they can.

'Jirou! I choose you!' )
makeste: (Car wreck kids)
By now everyone's probably heard about OneManga shutting down. I'M NOT REALLY WORRIED, since scanlators have been doing their thing since way before OM and its ilk became popular (even in the worst case scenario, they could just go back to distributing new chapters over IRC like in the olden days), buuuut I am kind of ORZ WHYYYY about it because I'm going to have to edit out all the links in my old chapter write-ups. And then the odds are good that whatever links I edit in will eventually go down as well. SO IT BEGINS... THE GREAT BATTLE OF OUR TIME.

Really, I'm just waiting for the manga industry to finally catch on to the fact that online scans are THE WAY OF THE FUTURE!, and set up a subscription or ad-supported site (or maybe like an iTunes sort of thing) where fans could read new chapters legally without having to wait months for them to be released in their own countries (if the series are even licensed where they live in the first place). Until then, whatever.

ANYWAY, I SHOULD SHUT UP AND START BABBLING ABOUT KHR 299 NOW. Ignore the contradiction there.

Just one more week until the big three-double-oh. )
