sooo~ first quiz result on livejournal.
Your result for Roleplayer Test!... The BiographerPlotful, Character-Oriented, Platonic Like the Portraitist, the development of your character is the most important thing to you when you roleplay. However, you like your development and relationships to have some kind of overarching plot: you're not the type to enjoy a dressing room or any kind of roleplay where your character can't grow in at least a semi-structured manner. You enjoy exploring your character's psyche, but simple exploration isn't enough: you like to discover and then implement and use, and therefore continuity (which gives you "why"s and "how"s) is very important to you. You struggle when your character has no solid base in which to put down its roots, such as in games where there isn't enough structure or ones where the plot is continually changing.

| fandom essay for tokyo babylon: subaru and hokuto symbolism |
[Nov. 22nd, 2009|03:02 pm] |
well, as i was reading tokyo babylon, one thing struck me within the first volume: the clear contrast between subaru and hokuto. yes, most twins are different, but these two are NEARLY total opposites, except for a few similarities. by the second volume, i'd gotten a vague notion based on my knowledge of onmyoujutsu: their contrast is symbolic. by the end and seeing the nature in which hokuto awoke subaru, i'd had a full fledged theory going. X just made me even more certain.
omyoujutsu is the practice of yin yang magic. the concept of yin yang can be put as " a balance of dualities" or " a balance of positive and negative" but the yin yang concept also encloses the male and female aspect, and how the two balance each other out and help each other grow.
subaru: powerful but shy, unsure of himself but holding great prestige. keeps hokuto from causing problems at least once or twice.
hokuto: less powerful with her abilities, but outgoing, confident, and holding less concern to her family. nurturing when it comes to her brother and others.
do i see the connections here? subaru and hokuto were a natural embodiment of Yin Yang concept. maybe thats what led to their abilities, or maybe its just clamp being symbolic. it had to of been at least symbolic in their families eyes.
many people put down subarus drastic change in X to seishirou and to a lesser extent hokuto, and its probably true to a certain extent.
but from what i could see, its like he's lost. someone completely out of balance and trying to cope. yeah, alot of it could be put down to the events of TB, but i think the LACK of his twin to advise him, or make sure he was taking care of himself ( remember his apartment? hokuto would KILL him.) stunted him. likewise, i'd imagine hokuto would of suffered a similar loss of self control if she had been the one left behind. its the same balancing concept of yin yang.
i thought this was kinda neat. |

sorry for the lack of posts, im at the end of my senior year in highschool, (i graduate june 3rd.) and all my senior paper crap is done. i got a b+ *grins* so much for being nervous about the longest paper i've ever written.im just lucky i got an ammendment im interested in (we had to pick one of the 27 amendments to write our paper on, and it was first come, first serve,, so i was lucky i eat lunch near my english class. ), which is the 19th: womans suffrage. hehe. anyway, now that its done, im a bit more relaxed. i've been horseing around with icon makers, and have started on a series of em, which i have dubbed the "THATS REALLY A MAN?!" series. nothing much, i've got two of em up in my icon page..... now i needta find a good picture of raenef.... its mainly cause, yes, most anime guys are overly pretty, but some just make you do a double take, for even a seasoned anime lover, and go "O.O; wtf?!". so far i've got frejadour from suikoden V and shirogane from monochrome factor and am looking for a good image of raenef from demon diary. i'd post them here, but...... im not really sure how. eheh.
anyway, i'll post up more story rec's soon, promise. i just needta find the time to sit down and do it, as well as not forget to do it. |

hello! welcome to my journal, i am alisa makora, bookworm and story addict extraordinaire. XD this is my first official post, as this journal will be used to post fanfiction recomendations and author recomendations as well. i will also be posting reviews and recs of books (and sometimes webcomics) both online and off, as one can never have to many good reads, ne?
this will also be a personal journal, but the recs will be tagged as appropriate. im really trying here, for a lj n00b, so please, if i do anything wrong, i would ask to be advised how to fix it. thank you in advance, and enjoy!
fanfiction will be normal type and sorted by series, authors will be bolded and italicized, books will have a separate posting from fanfiction.
fanfiction will be in a variety of genres, ratings, and if romance, pairings, some will be have yaoi and shonen ai, as i am a supporter. you have been warned.
Fanfiction
anime
series: saiyuki
wake up heart
author: solitaire
rating: nc-17
pairings: gojyo/hakkai sanzo/goku
this story, although still in progress, is one of the first i've seen to use this particular plot device and provides a possible answer to one of the questions i've always wondered, which i wont say here, as it might spoil it. the set up is very good, and i love the pacing of the first chapter. its so unique! a very good read.
The Irony Gods
author: Cyh Scaevola
rating: T
hilarious, amusing, and a witty dose of mythology ( one of my obsessions.) all in one. yes, it has an oc, but she isnt mary sue in the least..... i do believe the ikkou is scared shitless of her, besides goku.
The Breakroom
author: KarotsaMused
rating: M
pairings:. anything you can think of in fafiction
incredibly funny, it is a parody of all fanfiction, in general, yaoi and romance fiction. basically, the characters in a breakroom setting, between chapters of fanfics, discussing what they have to put up with when it comes to pushy authors and horribly out of character script.
series: Yami no matsuei
someone worth saving
author: jazi
rating: T
pairing: watari/tatsumi, bit of hisoka/tsuzuki
wonderfully indepth, it devels into watari's true self, which you only see much later in the manga, during the imaginary world arc. i love the mix of mythology in it, and the set up is awesome.
video games
series: suikoden
Blue Lightning and the Bear
author: blue paladin
rating: T
an excellent story, chronicling the entire tale of suikoden 2 from Fliks point of view. it really captures the character relations and interactions, especially between Flik and Viktor.
public speaking
author: rayless night
rating: T
wonderfully witty, and gives a view of the events before and during suikoden V from a different perspective, one of a non combatant, yet still an important character.
The Show Must Go On
author: Psycofoxx
rating: K+
insanely funny, wacky and downright wierd. wonderful look into how yuber would act if forced to be an actor in a play.
series: final fantasy 7
Familial Moments
author: yuncyn
rating: K+
warm fuzzy feelings everywhere in this fic. the lives of cloud, tifa, and the kids who live with them, with the rest of avalanche mixed in. adorable drabble-like chapters, its a good thing to read if you need a quick dose of happy.
well, thats it for now, my fingers are cramped! ^_^; hope you enjoy.
