ღ CONRAD/YUURI MANIFESTO, OMG MY HEART. ♥♥♥
ღ Ichigo/Orihime wallpapers and icons, which actually got me to change my wallpaper for the first time in, like, a year since I put up an Okami one.
ღ Squall/Rinoa icons that look amazing, I am seriously tempted to redo my entire journal theme again, just to be able to use these.

I don't think I've seen a fandom start pumping out this much action in such a short time since... w-well. I don't know, maybe Prince of Tennis?

NEW GOAL: 674/1500

Notes: Oh, my god. These Okami Flash animations are so awesome. I thought the first one was very pretty and the second one was really cool... and then I totally wasn't expecting this one small moment in the second one and I just burst out laughing for a good thirty seconds and number ten was just completely wibble-worthy and as;dlfkjaslds I LOVE OKAMI SO MUCH.

Holy shit, there's going to be a Harutoki3 anime? But... but... I mean, I love the Neoroma games, but that first Harutoki anime was so boring! And they're making another one? ;___; They couldn't have made a Harutoki2 one? .....I want anime!Hisui, dammit. ;____;

Also, I have seen the previews for Hanakimi 13 and OMG I AM SO SCARED SOMEONE PLEASE HOLD ME. ;__; AKIHA SO SCARY.

Oh, and I'm going to stop putting spoiler space around the FFXII fics. I'll still include warnings for endgame spoilers as much as I can, but I figure by this point you've either finished the game/spoiled yourself or you're adept enough at avoiding spoilers.

NEW GOAL: 357/1500

Notes: I've slacked horribly on this journal lately, I know. Part of it is RL stress, but part of it is that the Hanakimi drama--WHICH IS DEAD TO ME *makes sign of the cross at*--kind of ate me and I started reading Spidey and Civil War again and some TV shows. And, um. I may have bought FFXII and Okami so I can play them all the time now instead of having to return them after a few days. This has eaten into my schedule a bit. >_>a

OH, BTW, ON THE SUBJECT OF FFXII, specifically Balthier/Fran, I would like to point out this sidequest (which I've done as well) totally makes me think the game was leaving the possibility open, so anyone who tries to wet blanket my fun can now bite me. ♥♥♥

[edit] I feel I should clarify. I don't think it's hardcore canon by any means and most people who are gen/non-shippers have been really, really nice. I just think Square was saying, "Well, if you want to... we're not saying no. :D" (Also, I don't think that link really needs much of a spoiler warning?)[/edit]

NEW GOAL: 344/1500

Notes: I have decided--since I've been going nuts with the recs lately--that I'm going to set a new goal for myself. Last year, I set the goal of 1,200 recs, which I reached in about ten months' time. I could have set the same goal for myself again this year, but since I met the last one so early.... Instead, I've decided that my new goal for the year will be 1,500 recs! I'm starting in December because... well, frankly, I'm giving myself a head's start here.

Watch me give myself a nervous breakdown! IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME.

I don't care if it's going to screw the happy fanon to tiny little pieces, there is Zack/Aerith and it is gorgeous.
