This journal is not-really-friends-locked. Please comment if you wish for me to add you back. Thank you for stopping by.

Locked are drafts, the more pointless drabbles, original writing, and random fangirly squeeing. You are seriously not missing anything of worth.

10:33 am - [bleach] day one
Happy New Year to everyone!

I haven't actually downloaded any new anime in a year and a half (huzzah! this is an important milestone for me) but I will never escape the Fifth Division and anyway, as far as I know, you don't need canon for this. And I never wrote anything but Momo even when I WAS active, so... (newcomers, if you click my "bleach" tag, 3 times out of 4 it's a Momo story of some sort. Ehehehe.)

Takes place whenever after Hinamori falls comatose, and going by the assumption that she's kept in 5th division HQ.

...And suddenly, I have a crack!image of a Victorian-ish AU one-sided Aizen/Momo. SOMEONE STOP ME.

Kurenai-centric. Spoilers through most recent major-ish character death...yeah, you get the picture. Written at 1:30-2 AM.

awareness )

I don't think I'll post stories on communities anymore-- it's treading a line that's already been drawn thin by my lowering esteem in my own writing abilities. Time to relearn how to write for writing's sake and not for a backwards desire, remnant of childhood isolation, to be accepted or known of or reviewed-- endeavours to which never came to fruition anyway. Chalk one up for reality checks.

so Harry Potter 7. Read it in 3.5 hrs. Damn you, canon! Plot was lovely and book was overall quite riveting, but many of the character interactions = gag.

And sdklfhsdfhslkgskdh they killed _____ and _____ right after they ___ _ ____ but at least there's ONE pairing I supported gone canon and zomfg I loved _____'s backstory complete with one-sided ____/_____, which we all knew existed, which is really very tragic. Number of underscores correspond to character's name, kekeke.

Right, so now that I still can't think straight or formulate an actual opinion and HP7 has made one of my oldest fandoms obsolete and part of my childhood has died, and I got rejected from a casting even though I made the callback list because I'm leaving for college in a month, I can't do anything but feel numb. And post this old ficbit.

Katara-rant, hints of Zutara, inspired by the dark dark tan that my poor Asian skin gained in 2 days under the Floridian sun teaching kids how to play tennis, and the ensuing "LOL U LUK LIEK A PEASANT" calls from my relatives, who are still convinced of the Alabaster-Skin Asian Mark Of Pretty.

She is not even a commoner. )

My habit of introspective drabbling about words seems to have carried over.

Toph one-shot. Same post-series timeline as previous drabble shhhh, let me live in my ficverse. Maybe I should make a series out of these?

The point gets across. )


As Avatar consumes my brain thoroughly, I have another drabble, a story idea, and a drabble-story in the works, requiring me to be innovative and try something new (such as, oh, actually completing them), the latter two being inspired by my trip to China last June. In all honesty, if there's any one factor that made me take the final leap back into writing stories, it would be that trip, and the multitudes of pictures I took.

There are still breathtaking sights that have survived the Westernization of the country.

First Avatar one-shot!

Zuko-centric. Introspection as always. Zutara hints-- turn away if it ain't your cuppa tea.

Change is... )

Hi. :D

The circuitous world of anime fandoms spawned my two journals, [info]celira and [info]naifun, over 2.5 years ago; since then, my life has overturned and rearranged itself and I've been on a 15-month-long break from anime. If you've friended me for my writing, the stories will remain, but I will likely no longer be writing for those previous fandoms. Feel free to unfriend me. Thank you so much for your support over the last two years, and I hope my writing will be resurrected shortly, college permitting.

With that, [info]celira becomes inactive but I have finally given in to my closeted two-year love affair with Avatar: The Last Airbender and will be churning out the drabbles here shortly.

Why, you ask? Because this is the most brilliantly executed initially-aimed-at-children's show I've seen in years. Because the writings that it's inspired are mindblowing. Because the characters are deliciously multi-dimensional and absurdly realistic. Because I'm not in the least involved with Avatar fandom (and probably will be unknowingly ruffling feathers, perhaps).

...and because it makes me a very happy Asian to see various aspects of my culture being portrayed accurately. Like the names! In Chinese characters! Happy is I ♥


Melodramatic fangeekery is over for now.


Much love and appreciation,

Lira ['Naifun']

p.s. I was in China for the entire month of June and I have to say that inspiration really kicked me in the ass for a photofic ♥

1:38 pm - [bleach] reclusive
I'm dispensing with the typical 'real-life-ate-me' excuses. This drabble was inspired by the rage that resulted of my hearing that Bleach came to the US in my current 7-month-and-counting hiatus from anime, and also by this wonderful song, which I spliced into a 9-minute track.

Bear in mind that I have not read a chapter since February. This piece is morbid, nonsensical, and Aizen/Momo. Could possibly take place while she's unconscious after he nearly kills her; could take place anytime.

current music: "Vampyre (Lira ver. megamix- prelude, soul, body)" --QED

Haven't read a chapter since 215, grumblemutterlife, so I'm just crawling back into my classic!old!drabble hole now. Don't mind me. This little bit of insanity comes from an excess of Psych 101 class.

And to think, my room's messy. )

Reverting back to the sanctuary of my nearest and dearest characters. But I'm terribly rusty.

Takes place...whenever, but far post-series. Consider them near adulthood; to heck with continuity. Ruki notices something about Jenrya.

Sorry these're taking so long. Life.

Hitsugaya and Hinamori, inspired by requests by [info]chironstar and [info]penguin_sensei. Chiron, sorry, but I can't do fluff whenever I encounter these two.

4:57 pm - [icons] Hinamori icon-dump-- who's surprised?
After being accepted as Hinamori Momo in the [info]t_organization RP, a friend pointed something out-- I'd need a wide range of Hinamori icons to cover her various emotions. So, I created a few, largely textless for usage as only emotional indicators. And as a little bit of trivia-- if you let the cursor hover over the images, the descriptions that I labelled each one with for RP purposes should pop up.

[14] Bleach
-[14] Hinamori Momo
---> 13 are textless. Textless icons may be modified, but credit the base to me.

Sample:

just a normal secretary eh?!

Onward! )

All credit goes to [info]celira or [info]naifun.

7:49 pm - [bleach][requested] Speak not of decorum
This was requested a month or so ago, and I had forgotten it somewhat entirely until mild inspiration prodded me during my morning commute. Strange timing, no?

So! Yoruichi actually doesn't feature, but you'd have to be drunk to miss the references. Takes place post-Urahara-and-co.'s exodus, as Soi Fong is rising.

Yoruichi/Soi Fong, pet for [info]xiao_baka

2:11 pm - [bleach] speechless
There have only been two times watching the Bleach anime in which I've felt remotely close to tears. The first was episode 32, involving Rukia and Renji's past, and episode 62, involving Byakuya and Hisana's history. The latter...has knocked me speechless for the moment.

So what else can I do but write?

because after she's gone, what guides him? )

current mood: numb
