Hai Tang is an 80s kind of man.

In other news:

- I am not dead

- Work is v. busy

- I fail at commenting on your posts, for which I am sorry

- I thought about making an update about the latest dramapuri episodes and the 1000000 other things I am watching on my day off tomorrow but I think I'll just write some fic instead

- If I were to make an instructional video, what should it be about? What would yours be about?

Fic is good. What are you working on? Also, feel free to spam with pretty & MJ references any time you like. :D

[prillalar]

Some Fuji/Kaidoh is begging to be written so I am trying to oblige. :)

Hai Tang is always pretty but that jacket is really something special.

[moshesque.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've ever read any Fuji/Kaidoh before, so I hope you indulge the urge! :D

[prillalar]

It's a favourite pairing of mine, though I've only written a few small bits about them so far. Fuji is so tricky, though!

[moshesque.livejournal.com]

I agree - Fuji is one of those characters that I would probably agonize over. I think a lot of the time, he doesn't get as much credit in fandom as he deserves. :S But I'm certain in your hands he'd be marvellous. ♥

I would like to make an instructional video on how to do a contrast arm bath.

[prillalar]

That would be useful since I do not know what that is. :)

[chaosraven.livejournal.com]

Have you seen 08 yet? I have no one who understands my love for this show on my FL. IT IS TO CRY.

If I ever write fic, it's probably going to be Long Ma/Zhen Zhi. That whole mess where Zhen Zhi asks for his advice slays me.

[prillalar]

I have! My god, I flail and flail. And then I re-encode the episodes so I can re-watch them on my iPhone on the bus.

Hee! I loved how Zhen Zhi totally manipulated Ju Wan there.

For me, it's the Holy Triangle all the way: Hai Tang, Zhen Zhi, and Guo Guang. ♥

[chaosraven.livejournal.com]

I can see it, but I feel that the Hai Tang/Guo Guang aspect of the triangle is the strongest (plus they room together, omg). I really hope they get into some awesome training montage crap now that the first battle is over to better exhibit Zhen Zhi's talents. >D

Aside from Fuji (can't remember his Chinese name), who has come off pretty weak so far, I think that this is my favorite Tenipuri incarnation. I'm really loving all of them.

[prillalar]

Every time I see that shot in the opening of Guo Guang lying in bed looking hurt and worried, I assume he's thinking about Hai Tang lying just above him there. ♥

Training montage = more 80s = awesome to the max.

I was surprised at how much I enjoy the drama for its own sake! I'm happy to recommend it to people, while I generally never try to get people to watch the anime.

[marksykins.livejournal.com]

That whole mess where Zhen Zhi asks for his advice slays me.

THAT WAS SO ADORABLE. I feel like I'm being manipulated somehow but I'm totally into the kinder, gentler Inui. It's probably his sad pretty eyes. :(

[chaosraven.livejournal.com]

I miss Inui juice though! I hope they give Zhen Shi some more mad scientist aspects in the training.

[leviosa8.livejournal.com]

Argh, you just reminded me I have at least 4 subs to watch yet...

[prillalar]

This means you haven't watched episode five yet and that is tragic.

[leviosa8.livejournal.com]

I know, I know. Actually, I haven't watched 4 either. OK. OK. Time to plan a marathon... or something.

[prillalar]

Oh, well, you remind me how tragically I'm behind with ES21, so I guess we're even. :D But I did finally get a new monitor that's big enough to read manga scanlations without scrolling, so I plan to catch up soon.

[leviosa8.livejournal.com]

So do I! It's a good point to catch up with that manga. (I keep it in my desktop computer, which has a bigger screen.)

In the meantime, I watched ep. 4 of dramapuri at lunch. Akhasjkhdsjkahfdjskahdfsfhfjsjdhfs the ranking matches tension, the canteen scene, the hands on the fish! Now I understand one of the icons above in the comments, hahaha. Man, these guys are more tender than croissants. Shit, now I want to do the sccap commentary and am stuck translating SHOJO against the clock. That's my life.

[prillalar]

Episode four was so good but episode five KILLED ME DEAD. I hope your translation goes quickly and you can relax with the Hai Tang/Zhen Zhi TRUE LOVE OMG soon.

Damn, now I want to write about them instead of what I planned.

[leviosa8.livejournal.com]

OK, if I am a good girl this evening I'll watch it tonight... and then I won't be able to sleep.

Resist, Hal! One thing at a time! ::Tells herself so while she keeps a Word file open with the intro to the sccap post that she keeps editing::

[fullmoonjane.livejournal.com]

Why do you always do this when I wake up and read it on the ONE morning I have to work? So I have to download Dramapuri and watch it when I get back? *shakes fist*

ILU REALLY

Edit: I'd make an instructional video about werewolves.

[prillalar]

Hee! You could do that. Or you could wait, knowing that you're falling more and more behind... :D

I still haven't had time to watch the second ep of Decade yet so I'm behind too.

I think mine would be about how to make meatloaf.

[disutansu.livejournal.com]

- I thought about making an update about the latest dramapuri episodes and the 1000000 other things I am watching on my day off tomorrow but I think I'll just write some fic instead

More promotion of dramapuri is always good. ^_^ But fic is equally wonderful~

Make an instructional video on how to write. I could sure use the tips!

[prillalar]

I keep rewatching the beginning of episode 6! I can't get enough of the hugging.

I might do a post about my writing process sometime; I always like to read those when other people post them.

[shikishi.livejournal.com]

I am glad you are not dead. and I still haven't watched this show. instead I started some idiotic stuff about a butler.

[prillalar]

Anime or drama? I'm watching Kuroshitsuji but I'm not up to current atm.

Don't tell anyone, but mostly I've been re-watching South Park when I should be catching up on new stuff.

[shikishi.livejournal.com]

I have been watching Mei-chan no Shitsuji. which is horribly wonderful.

I rather like South Park.

[marksykins.livejournal.com]

I made a little squeaky noise when the ep 8 sub dropped, so I guess they got me good.

[prillalar]

It's just that good! Could Hai Tang be any more annoying and lovable? And Cheng Wu is rising so fast in my affections.

[priestess123.livejournal.com]

Your instructional video should be about cheese-tasting. Mine will be about the proper way to plant a tomato. LOL

[prillalar]

Hal: Step one: take some cheese and eat it. And you're done!

[bombaygin.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. XD I saw mention of Fuji/Kaidoh and you have now gotten me all kinds of intrigued. Fuji is just one of those characters that has really kind of grown on me as I've settled into the fandom and pondered more on his personality. I'm hoping this new PoT series will explore more about his psyche and what makes him tick, other than just labeling him as "THE GENIUS" and leaving us all to wonder. And Tezuka too. There has got to be more behind those two than meets the eye!

I hope work stops being such a time-consuming monster. I feel your pain. I'm at work right now! ;D

Episode 1 of the Chinese drama downloaded! ;D I CANNOT WAIT TO DIVE INTO THIS. I hope I can keep up with all the Chinese names. I am bound and determined, though. And reading your HT and ZZ fics, I'm just too excited for this series. ;D

[prillalar]

Fuji is so difficult for me. It's like I think I understand him but can't seem to translate that onto the page. The manga is certainly more revealing than the anime, when it comes to his character, though it's subtle.

Yeah, the thing with work right now is not that I have to work a bunch of overtime, but we're leading up to a big launch so every day, I get interrupted every ten minutes with somebody's question and so my brainspace gets taken up. But that will be done soon!

I hope you like it! Keep in mind that it's an adaptation, so the characters are not exactly the same. Which is one of the reasons I like it so much -- it's old and new mixed together.

Which subs do you have? Up to ep 5, there are two sets, one with the Japanese names and one with the Chinese. After that, just the Chinese up to 8 so far. This should help you get everyone figured out:

*SENDS SPARKLES YOUR WAY* Best of luck to you, Hal-san! ♥;;

You're still made of epic WIN, being able to write fic and all. (;~;)/

UM. I'm not even good at giving directions to lost people! |Db An instructional video on how to emerge out of shameful situations sounds appealing, though. o__O

[prillalar]

If I really were epic win, I would have finished it by now! Maybe this week. :)
