memememing!

[xparrot]

I've been seeing this meme floating around the flist, and have been wondering how I'd do at it myself. Considering how many times I suspect I've reused the same turn of phrase, not to mention I was reformatting my page recently and realized I had entirely forgotten writing one story on there...well, we'll see.

A-- go to my fics and pick out a line or two from one of my stories.
B-- I will respond with which story I think it's from.
C-- points and a drabble to anyone who stumps me

I trust the gentle reader not to pick something too ridiculously vague. But your call.

Yep! It happened to be one of the first fics of yours I read.

And yeah, poor baby. It's worse in the actual manga, believe me, and then sensei goes and tops it off by making Satoshi have a cow at Daisuke the next day because Daisuke's an idiot who forgives him and it totally breaks your heart.

hmmm, what part is it from? I've never seen the anime, only read the manga, and only what's been officially translated so far, but don't remember if I've seen this shot or not...(the manga is gonna break my heart anyway, I'm not used to crushing this hard on a noncanonical pairing that won't be fulfilled...but...but...Satoshi deserves a little happiness! *wibbles*)

volume four, although i have my doubts about the way TP translated it. I didn't dare look becuase they ticked me off so much with the way they did volume one.

but you'd probably remember it if you saw it, because Satoshi crouches down over Daisuke and goes 'Niwa....I'm sorry....' and then he transforms into Krad for the first time because HIS LIFE REALLY SUCKS THAT MUCH.

And personally my bet is on Satoshi dying or getting together with Risa at the end of the manga, so I am a bit of a reluctant SatRisa shipper, except for the part where I cover my ears and go LALALALA TWINS? WHAT TWINS? I KNOW NOTHING OF THESE TWINS GIVE ME MY GAY LALALALA -- especially since lately Riku's been being an idiot.

Ahh, what'd they do to v.1? I've never seen the original (TP is so erratic, sometimes they're quite good, sometimes they're pretty bad, but it's often hard to tell unless one knows what it should be. I've heard they messed up Petshop of Horrors too, but again don't know how...)

Ah yes I should've remembered! - just been a while since I read it, I've been reading them as they come out. ^^; Maybe I'll reread this weekend.

Is the manga not finished yet? I thought it was complete...? I tend to like canon pairings, especially in shoujo, and I'm kind of fond of the twins, but...doesn't make me *squee* the way the Satoshi-Daisuke stuff does (not to mention I'm all 'Dark? Who's Dark? Oh, yeah, the pretty boy, whatever - but Daisuke's so adorable!')

well, mostly they made it so that they used the American naming conventions (sorry, I blocked most of it out in self-defense) -- which wouldn't be too bad but the subplot with the twins in the first few volumes depends on Daisuke starting by calling them both Harada and moving to call Riku by her first name. AND he calls Satoshi Satoshi and Satoshi calls him Daisuke, which makes my little purist heart weep and cry and bleed. I do remember they mistranslated part of the Satoshi's Day omake in volume three, though.

The manga ISN'T finished, she's been putting out chapters like, two times a year and driving us nuts. ;_____; Also, it was the rest of the Dark and Daisuke and the Twins and their Retarded Double Date, which does not interest me. Volume 11 just came out in Japan.

ack! Yeah, naming changes would make me twitch, were I aware of them. That's a pointlessly annoying alteration (take it in the original Satoshi and Daisuke are on a surname-basis?) (...still not as bad as Viz's SJ, which has taken to translating "nii-sama" as "Kaiba". Umm. That's their surname. The little brother would not be calling his beloved big brother by their surname >__>)

Ohhh, that explains why the translated DNAngel suddenly started coming out a lot slower, if they've almost caught up. Ahh why can't shoujo come out more like SJ? a chapter a week is much more my speed!
