BEHOLD! A DIFFERENT ICON!
May. 12th, 2010 02:04 pmWell, today (or yesterday rather) my beloved Canucks were eliminated from the playoffs...again, for the 40th consecutive year. Sigh...
So, I decided I had to do something to keep my mind off of it after the devastating loss, so I played Starcraft II beta with a friend of mine. Another sent me a beta key, so I had a chance to try it out. Besides absolutely failing at the game, it does seem quite fun, though very strategy based as you might imagine. How you play, how fast you play, what you do, etc. are all vital to what happens in the game. I'm not particularly that good in those things, but hey, I'll try.
Then after two weeks without a Negima fix, finally the RAW came out today, with spoilers mysteriously never appearing. It was simply a character development chapter, but I did enjoy the shots of characters which are my favourites, like Yuuna obviously. Her mother being a Magic World native (and maybe her father, who knows) makes her have a personal vendetta against the evil organization right now (since her mom died in a mission involving them). It's a lot more complicated than that, more than just two sides and a black and white issue, but I think explaining it in that simplified way works well. I am expecting awesome things to happen with Yuuna in the future especially since Kazumi is not one of those characters who will ever get a backstory explained (because likely she doesn't have an interesting one) and is only there to serve the vital mmorpg role of intelligence gathering, just like a few other support-only girls. Ako already had her turn, though it's still possible for more considering she's insanely popular (breaks into the main character realm of popularity!) and same with Chisame. Ku Fei already got her pactio, so she may only be reduced to fighting scenes, but who knows.
Oh and Sayo, well she still has story to be told! When that will happen I have no clue, it does not look like anytime soon, so I can't expect much now. Right now is Yuuna's turn, or at least soon!
Speaking of Yuuna's turn, a few entries below this I released a brand new fanfiction! One I actually started working on two years back, but reading it over I found it rather unsatisfying, with its pace really odd and pretty much everything poorly done. I guess I didn't like my writing too much back then. Since it was still short and I very much love the premise of this new AU story, I decided to rewrite it, so here's the first chapter of the renamed "Drop of Red" staring Yuuna Akashi being a main character for once! She certainly fits the mold!
And obviously my other favourites are hanging around too:
( THE FORMATTING WORKS OMG )
How was it? I liked it, but maybe some people like the other version better. A few things were altered, some scenes changed etc. I found the other one forced a lot of wangst far too easily and went against the character. Ah well. Until then, Spotto is starving and signing off!
