ANYTHING MEME

[thekingsgambit]

I might pimp this later; I might not. But most of the boys have hit their 1K mark and Kiba is floating somewhere around 800 so ANYTHING MEME TIME. Sob I'm probably going to have to essay on Lelouch thanks to SOMEONE. >> Possibly Setsuna too, who knows.

SUP KIBA

AM I YOUR FAVORITE OR WHAT

[paradisecalls.livejournal.com]

Kiba likes Luffy in his "I don't really know what to do with you but you're right about things sometimes" way. He likes Luffy's optimism and general energy. As driven as he is, Kiba genuinely enjoys being around happy people and does drop his guard around them. So yes, you are probably his favorite. XD;; MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL.

:D?

Zero is not sure what he thinks of Radu yet, but there is general distrust. He also senses some condescending qualities, which ping his grr kaname buttons. While Zero will tolerate vampires and not continuously denounce their species, he obviously still does not like them or anything resembling them. But he figures this is good practice for dealing with the nobles back home.

I guess the biggest diff with Setsuna and Kamui's relationship now is that he knows Kamui has emo. :( Not only that but Kamui has emo Setsuna knows all too well now. So he's all about helping Kamui get through it, and in a away it also helps Setsuna deal with his own problems. Setsuna still loves teasing the hell out of Kamui, but there's a bit more understanding this time around. They can Messiah bond and they don't even know it. XD I need to figure out a way for this to happen sometime.

...yes omg yes

Lulu & Rico: best friends or bestest friends?

Alternatively, essay at me to explain why Toboe is so adorable.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

There are times when Lelouch doesn't entirely loathe Rico's complete being. These are usually the times when Lelouch does not see him for several days. <<

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Seriously though, Lelouch doesn't mind Rico. He does find Rico genuinely amusing at times; this is why he plays along with Rico's style. But Lelouch has moods and when he's in them, Rico can be too invasive, causing Lelouch to get somewhat bitchy. Otherwise, Lelouch takes some dark pleasure in the gamesmanship the two occasionally have.

RELATIONSHIPS! . . . Whoever you feel like. We have like four or something.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

I'll do the other three since Setsuna and Josh haven't really changed as far as his opinion goes.

-Ashe
Lelouch actually respects her and will seek her out when he has something non-personal but notable on his mind. He does acknowledge her title in his mind so that plays into things as well; Lelouch not having had much contact with fellow royals in some time. It is amusing to note that while Lelouch enjoys having someone he can have a reasonably serious discussion with; he does catch a bit of her ultra-seriousness at times and it's a bit of a mirror reaction for him.

-Takanari
Toboe just loves and admires and loves. Also loves. Takanari so smart and nice and wanting to help the flowers and just yay. :D
Kiba is intrigued a little with Takanari. Which is good because Kiba is largely indifferent to humans most of the time.

-Akito
LOL. Setsuna so wants to just grab him and punch the crap out of him. But as he promised Hatori, he'd probably just deal if the two ran into each other again. HE'D BE MAD AS HELL but he wouldn't do anything. At this point, he probably wouldn't do anything even if Akito got violent because he thinks Akito is standard issue pretty much.

Setsuna and Mayu? (Optional: His thoughts on the whole Sohma fiasco going down would be nice, but you may be essaying on it separately.)

[sistercomplex.livejournal.com]

Mayu is an adult Setsuna respects but still feels like he can be his usual self around. This basically means that when he is doing something stupid, he will :( if Mayu calls him on it because he cares what she thinks. Most adults he just ignores. At the same time, he will joke around with her more casually than other adults.

Re: Setsuna and the Sohmas

Long and short is that it is very very difficult for a born rebel like Setsuna to understand the bond. To him, it smacks of control and Setsuna instinctively recoils and wants to yank others back with him -- that's the protector in him. It does not help that Akito comes across as a charismatic psycho to him, which pings his grr rociel buttons and makes him more hostile than he would normally be. He doesn't like at all that Akito's arrival has made Hatori act differently, down to pushing the people he cares about away. He is upset about Mayuko and Hatori as well. All of this comes at a bad time for Setsuna since he was just getting over the loss and realizations associated with Kira. So having people push him away just makes him want to cling even tighter because, as he said, he's scared. So his reaction to Hatori is of a somewhat selfish flavor, both in not wanting to lose Hatori and in wanting Hatori to not hurt the people important to him by pushing them away.

Setsuna honestly DOES NOT WANT TO UNDERSTAND because this is not ok to him. And it makes him continuously angry and melancholy. As I said to Kino, he would like nothing more than to beat the living snot out of Akito right now for "causing this mess." But he also cares about upsetting Hatori so he "plays nice." Accepting things is kind of out of the picture for Setsuna because of everything else and he is likely to just get more hurt until he figures things out better. But when push comes to shove, Setsuna will probably end up most upset with himself. Temporarily though, he's doing slightly better as Mika smacked him around for a bit and that tends to work better than just talking for Setsuna. But he is still overall shaky.

Drabble Daisuke adopting Kiba and Toboe as his Digimon pals.

[long-dragon.livejournal.com]

... ping?

[sistercomplex.livejournal.com]

Mayu has part of your essay. The biggest thing, though, is that Setsuna loves Hatori and is so incredibly frustrated with him and everything else right now. He is honestly worried about him because while Hatori seems to hold so much faith in his connection to Akito, Setsuna can see that what he's doing because of it hurts him. And Setsuna cannot understand why Hatori still does. it. It's the sense of conflict that bothers Setsuna the most and makes him most adamant in telling Hatori to accept both his worlds. As Setsuna is starting to think Hatori is rejecting the camp one, he is getting more upset because not only does it ping Setsuna's latent fear of rejection, but it makes him feel that Hatori is trapping himself. So he is going to fight that, desperately.

s-setchaaaaan ;o; bawww, I had seriously never realized how easy we ping each other in the trauma places until now.

[sistercomplex.livejournal.com]

Why don't you love me, Hatori??? ;;

[servicewitha.livejournal.com]

sup bb ♥

also Zero and Kiba on Himawari?

[bitingcynicism.livejournal.com]

No. Sob. Later.

Zero V.2 is much more collected so Himawari has the advantage of getting to know him more in that stage. He pretty much just finds her relaxing, which is a good thing for Zero. Though she also strikes him as a too-trusting type, particularly around Radu in the like so yeah, wary.

Kiba generally likes Himawari, but Kiba usually likes gentle things so that helps. He is relatively calm around her.

For Lelouch, see reply to Kamui.

[swornmyoaths.livejournal.com]

tell me what the crankywolf thinks :3

[paradisecalls.livejournal.com]

Well, first Kiba has never seen a dragon before so now he finally knows what Mikage was talking about. Second, now that he understands things better he's mostly amused by babydragon. This does not mean that the way babydragon tops Toboe is not a total embarrassment to wolf-kind. orz.

[chewitover]

Toboe and Kiba on Rakushun?

[paradisecalls.livejournal.com]

Kiba's impression of Rakushun is probably the strongest since Kiba is confused by this living between the two worlds thing. Kiba may use the human illusion to get around but the idea of fully immersing oneself in the human world is strange to him. Yet he can also sense that Rakushun knows who he truly is and is sound in his decisions so Kiba cannot find it wrong. Kiba believes in conviction, if it is true. Disclaimer: This does not mean Kiba does not, from time to time, consider eating the mouse.

Ahahaha, I've got a pretty good idea of what Toboe thinks of Usopp but if you have anything to say, I'd be interested in hearing it!
