I'm at 21-some hours since last updated and I don't have a good fanfiction idea, so I guess it's sad day for me. I really do want to create some fanfiction. I just don't want it to be half-assed BS like most of the fanfiction on ff.net. I want it to be creative, unique, but still holding onto some of the techniques my favorite fanfiction writers use without overdoing it.

The fanfiction needs to be of a pairing I like (SasuNaru, Edvy, LxLight, any yaoi, really) but I don't want it to be one of those cliqued "OMG, i luff u" "OMG, i luff u 2" shit. I don't want it to be smut, and I want it to have a good, rich plot. The only problem with that is that I'd have to commit if I want it to have plot. I'm not so great at committing to writing something. My only example would have to be my six chapter long Harry Potter fanfiction "Albus Potter Year One" on ff.net right now that's been needing an update for ages. I need some good oneshots. After I get good with those I suppose I can take a stab at trying to write a multichapter fanfiction.

I think I'll try a SasuNaru fanfiction. The good thing about the pairing is that I don't feel too bad about going AU with it. But then again Edvy wouldn't be so hard for me to write about if it was AU either. It's nearly impossible with the canon Fullmetal Alchemist world, since Envy supposedly is stuck in the Gate for all eternity. Stupid FMA movie, getting rid of the best villain just to get to a happy ending. Anyway, SasuNaru is easy to write about, easy to make fun of, and typically an easy pairing. (Yes, I'm calling Sasuke easy.) I guess I should start with it, since it's an obvious first choice. At the same time Edvy is such a fun pairing. It's difficult, but it's fun. </b></a>hieronymousb does a wonderful job at explaining why the pairing is so alluring in her manifesto of the two's relationship. And since this paragraph needs to come to a close, I'll quote her. :)


"If Envy hates being replaced, then that means he actually wants Hohenheim, his creator, to be there for him. From this, one can easily believe that Envy's rage is a form of acting out, like a spoiled child who craves attention. Homunculi do not physically age (save for Pride, a special case, and I have no idea about Wrath; I consider this an anime oversight), and it may be logical to assume that they are also incapable of growing mentally and emotionally. Gluttony certainly exhibits toddler-like tendencies, and Envy's petty selfishness seems to reflect someone who has been a teenager for four centuries. If Envy sees Hohenheim in Edward--and indeed, he does refer to him as "the son of that bastard"--then Envy's obsession with Edward could easily include (or turn into) a desire for validation, the same validation that he wants so desperately from Hohenheim."


Yay for Edvy and its twisted complications. Check out her manifesto in the </font></b></a>ship_manifesto community. And while you're at it, check out Thicker Than Blood, </font></b></a>cephiedvariable's SasuNaru manifesto. Fun stuff, that is. I actually have been working on a LxLight manifesto for a few months now (unfortunately I haven't touched it in a while). Hopefully I'll end up getting off my ass and finishing it.

By the way, adding links makes you look smarter. Not knowing how to get rid of the annoying html in front of them makes you look stupid. I can only hope they balance each other out.

It's around one o'clock in the morning and I suddenly feel the need to update my sad excuse for a LiveJournal. I suppose this was meant to be something akin to an online journal. I haven't really ever gotten the hang of writing every single day. But this is overdue, and I have a strange itch to write.

I've had it for a while now, actually. For the summer I've had to pack up and was sent away to suffer in the foreign land of Alabama. Can't say I was too thrilled about it, but I've been gorging myself in a long EdxEnvy fanfiction recently and I've ran into a problem with it on the fourteenth hour-long chapter. I hate to just up and leave it, but I don't like the idea of Envy drastically changing. Mind you, he's been changing subtlety throughout the series, only now he's face to face with his past self and you get to see just how much of a human Envy turns out to be.

I don't really like that, Envy turning human and all. I'd rather he changed as a Homunculus just a little bit. Something that's off about him, but still fitting perfectly into the Envy persona.

I guess there's a part of me that loves jackasses. Envy, Sasuke, Deidara, Lelouch (who isn't as much of a bastard, but he'll do), Soren, Kisshu, Light, L, etc.

When you ask me who my favorite anime character is, I'd guess I'd list one of those listed above (mainly Envy, Sasuke, or L <3) despite how jerky their characters are. 

L uses whatever kind of means to get the answers he needs. He'll lie, cheat, set up a bajillion cameras inside an unsuspecting household, yet he claims to be justice. One could assume that those instances were to rival Light, but it does not stray from the facts. L is manipulative and will not settle for anything less than what he wants.

Sasuke is a revenge-centered, power-hungry cretin from the depths of the Uchiha clan. *coughSPOILERSbeginNOWcough* Despite learning the truth about his brother - that he was actually a martyr just trying to save the world from another ginormous war - Sasuke ignores his brother's true feelings about the Leaf and sets out to destroy it with his not-so-social band of tools.

And last but not least, our beloved sin. Envy is... well, Envy. If you've seen the show or read the manga, you get it. Envy is not a nice person. He tortures, maims, destroys life without batting an eye. He's a deadly killing machine compose of alchemized human flesh in what was an attempt at bringing a human back to life. In the anime, he was the first sin. Four hundred years of existence did him well, don't you think? He's immature, selfish, and stubborn. The embodiment of teenagerism escalated because of the power he possesses as a Homunculus.

So why do I love these characters so much? Because they're pretty far off the deep end and they don't have a problem with it. They're fine with being mean, cruel, and nasty. Personally, I'd love to have that kind of confidence, but I'm afraid my conscience is too much of a bitch to let me. And some philosophical BS about how I'm insecure would explain how it would make sense that I'm attracted to like confident bitches who don't give a flying fetus about who they crush.

Okay, so that made a little too much sense. Heh. Whatever.


Second random rant topic is... I hate how whenever I try to search for avatars - yanno, 100x100, forum shit - I always get stuck with random additions of Avatar: The Last Airbender fanart and such. No offense to the benders, but sometimes I want some actual avatars that I can put to use. Which, by the way, I'm noticing an official out-dating of my current LiveJournal one. I'll have to change it soon.

And I'm itching to write a fanfiction. I really should and probably need to in order to survive to tomorrow. Guess I'll be posting again today... But no promises.
