I swear guys, some of these characters are so minor you're going to hit me for even remembering them. The ones that have multiple answers have multiple because I tend to fall in love with lesser-seen characters and it'd be a pain to guess 'em. HAVE AT.

WHAT I REALLY LOVE ABOUT THIS POST-- is that you can tell which ones I colored last night and which ones I colored last month. I find the difference hilarous. Especially with Break. I JUST CAN'T DECIDE ON A CONSISTENT COLORING STYLE, APPARENTLY. And okay, this is just basically a month's worth of rambling since the release of Retrace 42. Because that's where the mindscrew started. I'll admit to something else. Retrace 43? Only skimmed. The part with Oz and Gil in the carriage? All I paid attention to was that Oz asked Gil to go into the carriage alone and then opened his shirt. I DON'T EVEN KNOW-- ....DRK? ;D

All I found important was the Break and Sharon pages. Why? Because I'm a Break and Sharon fangirl, obviously. So uh, sorry about that, guys. But here, I'll ramble on and on about Break and Sharon for a whole entry. Enjoy the colored images as much as you can until you notice how fail they are. ♥ If you notice that some of these were shared a while ago, I apologize for not taking the time to recolor them. I know they're awful, f-ffft.

Now I'm gonna recap the past two chapters, focusing all my attention on Sharon (and her relationship with Break). This is mainly for myself so I can sort out my thoughts, but if you can deal with random capslock and semi-baseless theories, go ahead and read. This is just a lot of tl;dr, guys.

( MASSIVE tl;dr. AND image heavy. )

... alright. This has been my summary of the past two chapters, and how it affected Break and Sharon and revealed a few tidbits about their relationship. SKEWER ME NOW FOR THIS LEVEL OF TL;DR, GUYS.

EDIT: proper love given to here for where I got the beautiful clean scans. AND if you guys actually like any of these colorings, feel free to use them for whatever. Just give me credit for the coloring, please~ ♥

DRK?

as;lfjasdf. I apologize f-list. BUT AS;LFJSADF. IT HAD TO BE DONE.

so. tired. sleeping early tonight for sure.

but I'm still managing to rewatch YYH, just because I love the series with a passion. If I had Shaman King DVDs, I'd be all over those. My first fandoms managed to stick with me through the years. I still have that intense love for Sonic X. and classic Pokemon. some parts of Beyblade too. Oh, my childhood.

( observations of good ol' YYH )

( rp ramble goes here )

don't wanna talk about school right now. @______@ no new developments there anyway.

sleeeeeepy. thank goodness for the weekend, school is killing my sleep schedule. but I have to go to a baptism tomorrow so... eh.

I just feel like I need to rant really quick.

RETRACE XXXXI. RUFUS. BARMA. RUFUS. FREAKIN'. BARMA. I'm so. happy. a;lfjasdfasf More panels for me to color, ahahaha. (as if I don't have 85 icons waiting to be posted, fffft) And Sheryl toooo~

But my question is... where is Sharon during all this? I mean, seriously. Last we saw of her was when Break swooped her up in his arms and ran off after being mean to Reim. Sure, it's the most hilarious exit ever, but... where did she go. Naturally Break wouldn't bring her to Sabrie, but even Vincent and Jack get a couple panels. We can't get a couple panels showing Sharon sipping tea or something? idk.

( spoilery things )

And then there's RP. I really... don't have much to say. Getting back on my feet, that Sharon app is nearly finished for discedo (worrying so very much about how well I'm gonna do. I absolutely adore Sharon but I play Ada for a reason), and finally intro'd Nephry. Let's hope I don't crash and burn, hm?

Gareki has a dream set, as does Urahara, need to confirm a few things before I can give Ada a dream!canon update, and... that's all I really need to take care of. As soon as the Sharon app is done, I'll get off hiatus in Discedo.

And in one night I've gotten so many things I want to color. Much love to Jae again for giving me that scan of Sharon and Break I've been hunting for. ♥ me? ship it? what makes you think that?

final message: THERE IS NO POSSIBLE COMPETITION AGAINST MAID!ADA.

( eeeep. high school. )

'kay so. RP. ... I wanna put it on hold again but I don't want to keep people waiting for me anymore. Discedo isn't a problem, but I'd hate to go off on leave on Somarium again. I guess I'll just have to find time to intro Nephry some time this week and then just comment and write dreams from that point on. Really, it's just Somarium that I'm having a bit of trouble keeping up with. XD;; ME can wait just a bit longer until I have time for Euphie.

hopefully it'll calm down by this weekend, otherwise I may have to drop a few things...

EDIT: so I watched the first half of PH 23 since I was totally lost about Ada visiting Oz for the holidays and was happy that she at least got more screen time. Admittedly I stopped watching after I saw the part first half, so I might've missed something... but I can't help but laugh that Sharon would say that the Baskervilles would've killed Oz already while Ada is just sitting there? Maybe they overlooked that fact but... ffft. way to panic the little sister.

Oscar popping out of the bushes made my day, though. Oh Ada and her ridiculous level of cute. Leave it to the anime to lay it on a little thick, though. I swear, I shipped Gil/Ada until today. oh well, only one of my minor ships was abandoned. I love Oz/Gil (... Gil/Oz? i dunno what the order is .____.) like the rest of the fans sure, it's not my OTP, but it's up there. 8D

Today was the first day of school.

( and so it begins... )

oh, right. RP-wise... I may have to take another week or so. Maybe not for Somarium, since I want in on this event and such, so. But Memento might have to wait a week, and I'm considering a semi-hiatus at Discedo.

I'm considering making an icon post. I have... too many icons rotting that I will probably never use otherwise. ... except this one. I admit to totally being in love with this icon. Probably because Jack is the cutest thing ever. Expect to receive this icon a lot, guys.

I still need to read Retrace XXXX, what's wrong with me. Even though I did reread Retrace XXXVIII yesterday. Aww, Gil.

Ignore the following cut, unless you want to see how fail my colorings are before I shrink them down into icons. I just wanna post them up here because I hate digging through photobucket for my favorites. >.>

( this is just for my cousins, really. image heavy, beware. )

Alright. I had an epiphany yesterday. And I just gotta say, I should not be allowed to be seperated from my laptop. iTouch is ridiculously difficult to type on when I'm rambling.

I couldn't help but notice that character designers like their badasses to have long, red hair.

PRIME EXAMPLES: General Cross Marian, Duke Rufus Barma, Richter Abend, Asch the Bloody, Renji Abarai, Grell Sutcliffe, Kurama, Zelos Wilder

I would also like to note that half the red-heads are not social butterflies. If you have any to add, please share. I actually plan on keeping track of this.

AND I TOTALLY DID NOT JUST UPLOAD THIS ICON FOR THIS POST. I should not be doing this to myself. I WANNA WATCH EPISODE 21 SO BAD. RUFUS FREAKIN' BARMA. ;A;

Next on Dana's Random Thought Posts: Characters with long, silver hair are often super ultra powerful.

Oh right. Actual updates. Um, my dad figured out how to shut up internet for specific devices, so my iTouch is now an iPaperWeight. D: Which makes my posting harder. But I can probably get more time during the school year, SO SEPTEMBER 10 CANNOT COME FAST ENOUGH.

And I'm sorry for my lack of commenting on your posts, guys. D: An hour a day makes things tough....

FINALLY. SHAMAN KING FANS. OKAMI AND I DECIDED TO ACT OUT ON A RANDOM WHIM AND PRESENT THIS TO YOU:
mankindressing
lol. I don't even know. BUT HEY. IT'S THERE. I SAY WE USE IT.

So the program I use to watch my downloads decided to break down the day that PH 19 comes out. What is this? I was looking forward to that episode. What's worse is that my dad still forbids me from downloading programs, so I'm gonna have to wait until he finds one and downloads it onto my laptop for me.

.... I'm less than pleased. But still asking at the same time, "why so impatient, self?" I just really want to watch for the braid-pulling anyway.

( rp rambling )

There was a part in PH where they strayed from the manga. I think I liked it.

( episode 18 rambling )

Hahaha. My first LJ entry since the car chase entry and I'm rambling about PH. GO FIGURE.

My other report card came in! (I'll be honest, I was in middle school. I transfer to high school in the morning to take my high school classes. Gonna be a freshman.) Grades are as follows:

High School Classes:
Geometry Honors - Academics: C (but considering that it's honors, it's technically a B?) ; Citizenship: E
Japanese - Academics: A ; Citizenship: E

Middle School Classes:
Language Arts - Academics: A ; Citizenship: E
P.E. - Academics: A ; Citizenship: E
Science - Academics: A ; Citizenship: E
Social Studies - Academics: A ; Citizenship: E
Choir - Academics: A ; Citizenship: E

fffffffffft. HAPPINESS. Okay, parents were pissed off at the C. But I think my perfect middle school report card should've made up for that. Hopefully I'll do better in high school. All in all, I think I did pretty well for seven classes and the only fault is a C. ♥

a;dljfadf apologies if this comes off as bragging or arrogance but asdf;ljkaf HAPPY. ;o;

Leaving a note, will probably write in detail later:

Enjoying Vegas, and the memory of it. ♥

Rode a roller coaster amidst the Vegas lights, saw a movie in a huge movie theatre, ate in a fantastic buffet, learned how to play a new card game, and still managed to pick up a new series to read.

All in all, I feel accomplished.

I have quite a bit to do, and what was my day filled of today? Reading all the scanlations of Karneval and turning in my Ada app for Somarium. I hadn't even checked my inbox at all. Which isn't exactly the smartest thing ever.

.... but I've succesfully gotten hooked onto another series, which also isn't the most genius thing to do. Especially since I've got raws and translations of Pandora Hearts that I still need to finish. DX

Somebody keep me from apping Gareki at somarium please. DX

Umm.... It's summer. And I really don't have a lot to update about. Except, I'm finally getting through Persona 4 some more. And I've fallen in love with Pandora Hearts. I don't think I'm falling out of it any time soon. Needs more Ada.

RP-wise... I'm getting back into things. I owe people tags and I'm on hiatus in a fair number of places, buuuuut. My apps will be next on my to-do list. Styx, has it been two weeks yet?

This is why I shouldn't make posts at 12:30 AM the day (morning?) after my cousins go home. I'm brain-dead.

List 10 of your favorite characters from different fandoms and ask people to spot patterns in your choices, and if they're so inclined, to draw conclusions about you based on the patterns they've spotted.

Hmm... Let's see!

1. Iron Maiden Jeanne (Shaman King)
2. Euphemia li Britannia (Code Geass)
3. Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear (Tales of the Abyss)
4. Yahiro Saiga (Special A)
5. Saya Minatsuki (Black Cat)
6. Yosuke Hanamura (Persona 4)
7. Mukuro Rokudo (Katekyo Hitman Reborn!)
8. Princess Serenade (Eternal Sonata)
9. Eyes Rutherford (Spiral: Suiri no Kizuna)
10. Kisuke Urahara (Bleach)

Are there any patterns...? I-I feel like I'm missing an obvious one.

Things are getting crazier and just more and more ridiculous as times goes on.

( RL rant )

( RP update )

(This doesn't go into a cut because I don't know what to place it in. :|) Aaaaand lastly, I recently got back into YuYu Hakusho. I love it with a passion, man. It was my second fandom, I think, and I still love it to pieces. They're getting into the final chapters of English release, and even though I already saw all of the anime, I'm still following along. For some reason, I really wanna go back to dramadramaduck, or maybe app him at somarium</strike>. My first thought was to app Jin, but I don't think I could properly write his accent. XD And that's half of what makes him awesome. But Hiei's cool no matter what. So. Ahahaha. Once things settle down maybe. I mean, who doesn't want a short fire demon causing havoc around their rpg? lmfao, if he met Laharl....

Oh right. Anon meme... hm. I don't know what to think. It's slightly dampened my spirits, but I've been on the fence for the longest time. So I can't say it's affected me too much. I'm gonna take a good glance around it now. Link me anything that you think would catch my interest if you please~

EDIT: Jeeze, when I don't pay attention to something, I REALLY DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO SOMETHING. When did we get more characters at Somarium. Ffffft. That includes Hiei. Haaaaa. Okay. Styx. I'll be back in two weeks. 8| /SHOT
