The winds are blowing again. This gives me a peace that I cling to with no small part of my being, because I don't know how long this peace will last.
I don't want to see the flames I fear are coming. I don't want people to burn so I won't have to.
But look at us. Look at how we've treated the world, let alone each other. It's only a matter of time...
I was just hoping, somewhat selfishly, that it wouldn't be the same time as me. Like maybe a hundred years after I'm gone...
Some people say they wish life would just stop... that everything owuld stop so they can try and cope with what's happened. But it doesn't work like that.
The ones left behind still breathe. We still need to eat, to drink, to take care of the flesh given to us...
I have to go on, because I'll remain in that day and lose myself if I don't.
But look at me, writing about the thing I'm trying to get over...
Time to go back to trivial matters. Don't. Don't look at me that way. I'm not making light of what happened...
But I know there's only so much I can do, so much I can donante, so many good vibes/thoughts/prayers I can send...
Then what?
And if writing about something light helps someone else get over it too, then it makes it that much mroe important.
So, as I was going to say, I've fallen for yet another anime. Gravitation. I've only seen 1-9, but even that I'm hopelessly in love with.
Shuichi and Ryuichi are both loveable. Insane, but loveable.
Hiro is a sex god (and if he does end up with that simpering Ayaka, it's a damn shame).
Yuki is an utter bastard. (but he looks so nice when he smiles)
And Shuichi is SD about half the time in the whole thing. It's almost scary.
Tohma, I feel sorry for... long story
Brief plot summary: Shuichi Shindo is the lead singer for the group "Bad Luck". He along with the guitarist and close friend, Hiroshi Nagano (Hiro), they're struggling to get their foot in the door in the world of jpop. One day while worrying over some lyrics for a song, the wind snatches the paper from his hand and into those of famous romance novelist Eiri Yuki. Shuichi's life is never the same again...
This is a shounen-ai anime (hence why I'm into it) that so far goes no deeper than kissing (damn). I swear, though, some of Shuichi's SD moments scary! Yuki I want to throttle. I was literally screaming at my monitor that Shuichi should go with Hiro. He's a friend, he understands Shuichi... Yuki's so... cold. But, he's the one Shuichi loves, so... ::shrugs::
And then there's the group, Nittle Grasper (no, I didn't make that up). The lead singer, Ryuichi Sakuma, is the one who impressed Shuichi into wanting to sing. Now in the manga, the group, which consist of Ryuichi, Seguchi Tohma, (President of the label that Bad Luck works under) and Noriko (other name unknown) are suppose to be in their thirties. In the manga, they look it (Tohma was done a disservice, he looks WAY better in the anime). But, in the anime, they look no older than Shuichi! (approx 18-19) Hiro looks older! (approx 19-20) So does Yuki! (22). What gives? Actually, I'm not really complaining, but it really threw me off in one scene before I found out how old they were, because I had just assumed (bad word) that Ryuichi was around Shuichi's age. That'll learn me.
This series seems like pure fluff from the get go, but it actually spans a wide range of emotions, while still maintaining this kind of innocent, WAFFy appeal.
(One of the serious poitns involves the rivalry with another boy band called ASK. Mainly the lead singer, Aizawa. First he overhears Shuichi talking to Yuki's sister about staying with him. Aizawa uses this to start a scandal in the papers speculating about Shuichi's relationship with Yuki. Yuki, being the utter bastard that he is, tosses Shuichi out without telling him the real reason why. So Shuichi doesn't even know until he's nearly trampled by a group (mob) of fan girls. He's 'saved' by Aizawa. I have to go back and look at ep 6, but I read summaries from the manga that said Shuichi, who after getting thoroughly drunk by Aizawa, is forced to let himself be raped and have pictures taken by Aizawa to keep Yuki's name out the papers. Oh, don't worry, Aizawa will get his... but this is what I mean by the range of emotion this thing can cover.)
Unfortunately, I've yet to find eps 10-13 fansubbed. So I guess I'll have to wait. ::sigh::
::hopes to see them soon::
This thing is probably fill of typos, but I don't care, I'll maybe fix them later.
