Life and Times of Teh Asuka

Okay, I was asked twice about stuff that happens in this fic, so here it is. I think I've posted bits and pieces of this before in comments, idk, most people probably didn't see them.

It's not complete, I wanted to put in the Anko scene as well and some things drag on a bit and need to be trimmed. It's from a random Chuunin OC who was on surveillance detail the night Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura hook up and before Teamwork 1 starts.

I kinda love the old broad. She's... really bitter. XD

(also i probably should edit the part where she thinks naruto looks like a clone of minato and not like his mom at all, since canon said it was the other way around and i find it adorable that naruto is basically boy-kushina. Proof that this fic is WAY TOO OLD!)

John and Karkat from Battlefield Terra, pixel art.

I felt like doing pixel art. I have no idea why, it’s really not what I’m best at and I should have found a doll to use instead of making them from scratch, it was hell and then I forgot to save the base separately, argh. But adorable chibifaces!

Don’t ask me why they’re on a beach, I was almost done and then I remembered, ick, there’s no background, so I scribbled whatever. Let’s pretend John took Karkat on a walk on the island’s beach for some reason. In flight suits. Or that I’m uhhh referring to the island where they first met. yeah, that’s a good line of bullshit right there. >___>;

All in one it was rather fun to make.

While I was dithering over whether to bother to renew my paid account, it went poof.

SUDDENLY NO MORE CUSTOM COMMENT PAGE. SUDDENLY THE HORROR OF THE NEW LJ COMMENT PAGE. THE ONE WHERE WHEN I TYPE, A LETTER APPEARS PER SECOND.

I can not comment like this. My usual workaround on other journals is that I empty the URL bar and then type something in there and copypaste, but it's only practical for shortish answers. Otherwise it's pretty much hell.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa fuck you, livejournal, fuck you in the NOSE. why do you make paying from another country so HARD. WHY DO YOU MAKE SHITTY LAYOUT DECISIONS AND NOT LET PEOPLE OPT THE FUCK OUT. aaaaaaaaaaaa.

... and the icons i'm left with are completley ridiculous, wow, I haven't used any of them in YEARS. the heck?

It's going to be ages until this movie comes out. AGES. And Naruto movies usually suck; the last Shippuden ones have sucked especially badly. But.

BUT.

Kishimoto sensei - original creator, story, character design, planning

So maybe he's not doing the script itself, but he's given them the big plot, PLUS he was the one who decide what happens with X characters....

... PROCEED.

( Images and more quotey bits inside! )

TOTAL: 21 249.

Wow, pretty nice. Though the last 4 500 words of this were a big rambly chunk of silliness that I technically wrote after midnight. I'm considering it still May so long as I haven't gone to bed yet.

( Teasers that way! )

Askerian: (ahaha, i don't know if you remember the 1x2xR sequelthing snippet I wrote a while ago where relena wanted dorothy to help her make poly marriage legal. now i kinda want to write stuff about the press finding out. maybe a series of articles and headlines, first from the tabloids and then ending in an article)
Adi: ooooh
Adi: you can make up completely crazy stuff for the tabloids!
Askerian: like an actual interview. maybe about who is the father of her child!!! :O nah, no baby stuff, i write baby stuff too much as it is. ooooor maybe if the dad is duo because heero's genes are damaged
Askerian: haha yes
Adi: she's pregnant?
Askerian: at first it'd be all "is there something going on between relena and her head of security :O " and then "gasp she went to that ball with THAT OTHER MAN as her security/escort!" with ambiguously angled grainy picturial proof
Adi: or so the tabloids say?
Askerian: haha yes, even if she isn't they'd take any fold of cloth as a sign of pregnancy
Adi: XDD
Askerian: shocking reversal! the princess' lovers... in bed together!!!!!! RELENA CHEATED ON???? (i mean dude okay she has two but she's QUEEN RELENA she's allowed D: )
Adi: There should be letters to the editor going "that's obviously an overexposed photoshopped picture! It's probably her head of security! God, stop making stuff up!" and ...well, actually...
Askerian: XDDDDD
Adi: hahaha
Askerian: up until some president or other invites her to an official shindig with "and guest" and she asks them if she can bring two.
Adi: oh lord XDDDD
Askerian: and she dances with them both all night, scrupulously taking turns in between the random interlopers.
Askerian: and then they have the last dance with each other??? XD idek.
Adi: maybe they dance with each other when she's dancing with other people u.u
Askerian: ooh :D
Askerian: in the middle of all that i should also put a fling between relena and quatre. they were seen walking out of a room together laughing, arm in arm!!!
Adi: hahaha
Adi: Someone gets a quote from Duo that, when taken out of context, implies that Relena, er, sleeps around a lot?
Askerian: i kinda suck at headlines or journal talk though
Askerian: hahahaha
Adi: QUEEN RELENA'S LOVER TELLS ALL
Adi: u.u
Askerian: "oh, we all love relena, she's one of us y'know?" "RELENA PEACECRAFT IN SORDID SEX-BASED SWINGER DEAL WITH ALL FIVE GUNDAM PILOTS!!!!"
Adi: hahahaha
Adi: side note: Quatre Winner Participates in Primarily Gay Orgy With Queen Relena Peacecraft As Guest
Askerian: *giggles*

Askerian: btw, my GW rewatch...
Askerian: i was TRYING to read quatre as possibly straight and merely platonically concerned for trowa
Askerian: ... it's not even headcanon or slash goggles at this point
Askerian: he makes such teary wibbly faces when he sees him again and omg you're alive T^T
Askerian: it's just... not platonic.


I also wanted to write sidefics for Batttlefield Terra. Well, more like prequels, on the kids' side (the trolls' side would be too spoilerific). Mostly stuff about Mom talking Bro into raising Dirk and Dave (I think for the first couple years of their life she was keeping them too, because Bro wasn't able to deal with two babies -- more emotionally speaking than anything else -- and also maybe because he wasn't quite as on board with things as the other four of them yet), and Jade and Jake following General Harley around as he goes on politicking tours and visits military bases and learning how to shoot, and Nanna's death. The ideas are still kinda vague, though. I'm still prodding at them. Anything else you guys are wondering about re: the kids' past? Not saying I'm going to write them for sure but having the questions would help me figure out the answers, if I don't already know.

Damn it, OCs, stop being ethical AND smart, you're figuring things out way too early. *EDIT EDIT* auuugh.

Also, introducing five new people in one scene might be a bit much. :X I'll see if I can cut one off, but I don't see which one... :(

Seeing the two wolves side by side it was even more obvious Chiquito was still very young; he was fuzzy all over and round-bodied and his paws were huge compared to his legs. He could get under Killer's barrel without needing to hunker down more than a couple of inches. Killer jerked when he did it and sidestepped, but it seemed more reflexive unease and confusion than true, aggression-edged wariness.

After that of course it was butt-sniffing time. Urk. "Thanks for sharing, buddy."

Shh quiet. Important smells!

"Yeah, I'd say. So, the pup likes burritos?"

Makisig gave a guilty snicker. "Probably shouldn't let him have them, but oh, the soulful eyes."

So earlier I was daydreaming, I mean plotting out srs plot-things, and one of the potential scenes I was thinking about was another Jack Noir intrusion in the kids sanctuary. Only this time Bro Strider was there and then they have a totally sweet Knives VS Swords fight full of badassitude and sexy slashed clothes and artful blood splatters.

And Karkat reads it as completely caliginous, of course.

And all the kids are like "what NOOOOO ahaha oh god YOU CRAZY ALIEN you so silly XD XD XD"

BUT, as my brain gently informed me, FOR ONCE KARKAT WAS TOTALLY RIGHT.

and then i was like "HNG SO HOT WHY" and well, I don't know if I'll ever manage to mention it in the actual fic but from now on it's my headcanon that Jack and Bro are hate-banging in the background.

Mmmmmh.

Last month I was writing SO MUCH!!

We're 11 days into a new months and I've written, let me check... oh huh okay 5 000 words, that's not too bad, man it's crazy how my self-perception tends to only base itself on the last two days. If I haven't written in two days then I haven't written in AGES and I am FAILING HOMG but no pressure, self.

But still, hn.

One of them is the beginning of Jade's scene in Garden, yay, the other one is a brand new, silly sequel to the john/jade(/karkat) chatlog fic. It's another chatlog! :O This time Karkat really is in it.

Neither of them, you'll be surprised to learn, is Teamwork. :O

I have the file open right now. I'm staring at it. Sakura refuses to do anything interesting. When I try to make her go smart she goes "this is so dry and emotionless" and when I try to make her emotion-thinking she goes "why am I regressing to my Teamwork 1 self here" and, I don't know, mostly I keep going "aaaaa will i manage to write the naruto/sasuke interaction right i should have written it back when I ahd the scene in mind and it was still ALIVE aaaaaaaaaaa" and it's distracting me a lot from Sakura's scene, where the only hook is whether she'll win her match or not.

I'm hesitant to give myself an ultimatum à la "write 500 words of teamwork a day!!!!!" because sometimes that works and sometimes that backfires horribly, but at this point it seems obvious I'm not going to be brushed by the magnificent plumage of Divine Inspiration anytime soon and maybe I should just slog through it and just be DONE WITH IT and be able to get to the NEXT PARTS AAAA.


I've also been flopping around a lot wanting to write GW bondwolves, only I've been wanting to write HEERO and Mary, not Duo and Killer. Only the way the fic keeps lengthening on me there's still a whole two chapters at least before Heero pops up. Goddamn it. But at least I still feel like I'm progressing some on that fic, because even if I'm not writing I'm still watching the episodes while biking away, and nowaways what I do when I get off is write down how the plot diverged where and why, and where the wolves were at the time. XD

For example when Trowa was lost in space with amnesia he comes down to Earth with Quatre and Heero and Mary, and when Heero and Mary peel off he stays with Quatre (no space for two wolves in the compartment underneath the pilot's chair, no matter that one of them is a teenage bitch-puppy that's still half grown up.) Meanwhile amnesiac!Trowa is wondering what is missing so horribly, even though the obvious answer should be YOUR MEMORIES DICKFACE it never seems like that's quite it. I think when he sees Duo in the audience with Killer (there is no making a bondwolf lie down between the rows of seats so he'd be highly visible) he'd probably fall right off whatever he was balancing on at the time with the headache of the century, and then Catherine would *really* kill Duo. XD

Seriously with all the many times the boys were taken prisoners and their wolves taken hostage to ensure coperation and all the accidental separations (read: selfdestructs XD) it's a real game of musical chairs. I don't think any of the wolves has NOT been separated from his human for unreasonable lengths of time and a lot of incertitude re: how the fuck do we find each other again, which is not really how these things should go but then again gundam pilots don't really do things by the book, like, ever, anyway. Wait, Glen hasn't been separated from his master yet, but I don't think it helps seeing that Treize is going to kick the bucket on him at some point and is already loudly and repeatedly thinking about it and asking random pilots to please kill him. XD;



re: battlefield terra, I have a collection of ideas of what happens in this chapter and am now trying to tie them in a way that does not scream HOMG FILLER EPISODE. Actually it really shouldn't be fillery at ALL, I'm just not seeing it clearly enough to write. Hrrn. Must brainstorm more.

Askerian: i have the best name ever for a bondwolf and i won't be able to really use it. :-(
Askerian: when quatre and heero go back to Earth
Askerian: they are found by this military guy, Count Townsend, and his troop. they don't like OZ and they're treating the boys well but they're gonna have to give in and hand them over eventually (it's the scene on the beach where heero and quatre play with dogs. btw.) (blahblah they escape from his, uh, high-security cloth tent and lack of guards, how could that happen. :O)
Askerian: so then i was looking for the real person that this Count Townsend was obv. descended from, then i was like shit there's too many of the guys it must be a generic nobility/martial name for japanese people idk
Askerian: then i was like "but they come from ireland so i could call his wolf eire. :D "
Askerian: but then i was like "this would make her a female and Mary would be all grr at her. hmm."
Askerian: and then i was like "IT COULD BE AN OLD GRIZZLED MALE WITH HIS TAIL CUT OFF AND HE WOULD BE CALLED MANX."
Askerian: i want a wolf named manx now T__T
Askerian: .__.
Askerian: but if manx isn't attached to Townsend it's not as fun a name!!!
Askerian: or maybe uh idk they meet again at some point. :-\
Askerian: manx would be SUPER OLD. hmmm.
Askerian: hmmm
Askerian: HMMMMMM
Askerian: halps i nerded and can't get up
