Geeky As Charged 9

Yo!

The next couple of posts will probably just be GACs or other random nonsuch. I was going to seriously do a Heartcatch Precure post next, but I was a fool and took too many screenshots. As usual. So that will be on hold until it actually shows up. For those people waiting for action, don't forget to check out my Twitter feed! It's much fun. But now, to the GAC!

Today's Geeky As Charged is:

More classroom antics. In my philosophy class the other day, my teacher was talking about Kierkegaard and whatever he said in that one book he wrote. I was zoning out as usual but for some strange reason, I kept re-focusing at random times. Then I figured out that it wasn't quite so random: I always looked up whenever my teacher said 'Despair.' If you have no idea what I'm talking about after that last word, watch more SHAFT. Specifically this one. Anyway, after that, the urge to shout "ZETSUBOU SHITAAAAAA!!!" rose a thousand fold.

Here's a picture 'cause I figure you guys like it. What I really like is the Black Rock Shooter reference.

In other news, I spent about an hour making an if-my-life-were-a-video-game playlist instead of studying for one of my midterms. I'm so productive... Not. At least I found out that I have a freakin' lot of video game music...

What's also geeky is that I opened up my emulator version of Super Bomberman 2 specifically so I could take this picture.

That's it from me! Til next time!

Geeky As Charged 8

As a step towards renewing my verbosity in this blog and to keep myself from dying by homework, I've decided that my next new post should be a GAC, as seen in the title.

Today's Geeky As Charged is:

For one of my classes, I have to read some of Plato's works, specifically those dealing with Socrates. It's rather boring, not least because I'm not really interested in this. But one of the biggest problems I have is that the style of writing reminds me of a fanfic I read, called Inter Nos, which is very much in my interests. It's a Mai-Hime fanfic set in a universe very much influenced by Ancient Rome. So as I'm reading these selections, I'm constantly reminded that these people are set in Ancient Greece which just reminds me of the fic and makes me want to read it. Which I shouldn't do because I have a test coming up. So I'll just leave you guys with a random picture. Until next time!

This was a picture I found after searching for 'toga' in Danbooru. It has nothing to do with anything, but it reminds me of Inter Nos, so let's just leave it at that, hm?

Geeky As Charged 7

It's been a while since one of these happened, huh? Well, as I prepare to marathon what Heartcatch Precure there is so I can get screencaps for you guys, here's a GAC to keep you a little occupied.

Today's Geeky As Charged:

While helping a friend move out, my friend's friend asked for her folder and said, 'Don't look in, it's got personal stuff.' Somehow, I heard, 'Don't look in, it's got Touhou stuff.' I have no idea how that happened, but I still got a little excited... >_>

Later in the day, the same person was talking about Chiba in reference to something I don't know, but all I could think was Chiba Mamoru, a.k.a. Tuxedo Kamen in Sailor Moon. I'm such a sad person.

Something like this would've been pretty awesome.

Geeky As Charged 6

I was walking back to my dorm today, and what would pass me but a Geeky As Charged! It's been a while since I've had one of these, actually. I must be doing tamer things than I thought, recently. Anyway, I passed these two pretty girls on the sidewalk, and I swear, one of them looked exactly like Kitagawa Keiko-san. Don't know who that is? Well, I hear that she was in the Fast and Furious Tokyo edition, but I know her as Sailor Mars from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.

And I just spazzed out and took 77 screenshots of her and Komatsu Ayaka from episodes 40 (a.k.a. the Everyone-Has-Fun episode) and 47 (a.k.a. the ZOMG-REAL-ANGST episode). I couldn't pick out any specifc ones that I liked, so go check them out here. Also, some of those pictures include Komatsu Ayaka (Sailor Venus), who is also very pretty and is Rei's top. I need to do a post about them sometime... But anyway. That's it for today's GAC! The Magical Girl post is coming along... and getting bigger and bigger. I might need to separate it, actually. ^_^;; Hopefully not though, 'cause I like to make one post rather than separate posts, which is why I usually do overall season reviews rather than one review per episode. Some episodes defy that trend, though... Anyway, see ya next time!

Geeky As Charged 5

I have a couple of tests I should probably actually study for, so not a big post from me. So instead of a GAC! :D

Today's GAC: In my astro class, we were talking about the Gas Giants, namely, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Of course, being the yuri lover I am, this immediately reminded me of the Outer Senshi (plus one Inner and minus one Outer sob Poor Pluto.... T_T) of Sailor Moon fame. Well, fame if you didn't follow the English releases which SUCKED ASS. *ahem* Anyway, it just reminded me of how cool the Outer Senshi were. Can anybody guess who my favorites are?

Also during the lecture, my professor was talking about how there's a gap in the rings of Saturn. Of course, me being me, I noticed only the word Gap being emphasized every so often. And then *BAM!* Touhou reference. I'm thinking that Astronomy is going to become a whole lot geekier for me. (The reference being, of course, to Yakumo Yukari, a youkai who has control of GAPS.)

Edit: I forgot about pictures, so... Here they are!


Oh, Pluto, how unrespected you are.... T_T

It's a lot harder to find a good solo picture of Yukari than I thought.

But anyway, that's it for now! See ya next time!

Geeky As Charged 4

It's time for another Geeky As Charged! And once again, it's related to a movie I watched. Well, most of it is. This is actually going to be a rather packed GAC, because if I don't do these all at once I'll forget about it.

Anyway, I went out with some family and a friend to a sports restaurant place, and the restaurant, of course, had all sorts of screens up showing different games. The screen in front of me had a basketball game, and just when I paid attention to it, it played a slow motion two pointer that swished nicely. And all I could think of was Kuroko no Basket, a manga about, surprisingly, basketball. There's a character in there who can sink a basket from anywhere on court, and I immediately thought about him when I saw that point. It was pretty sad.

I also went to see the new Alice in Wonderland (fantastic movie, by the way). As it is not uncommon to see things based on Alice in Wonderland, I had a hard time not thinking about Miyuki-chan in Wonderland, one of CLAMP's earlier works and surprisingly has no overt or subtextual yaoi in it AND IS RATHER NSFW. (If you want to see the OVAs made, head over here.) It also reminded me of a... well... Um. It is "famous" in the shadier lands, shall we say. >_> But yes, very inappropriate when you're trying to watch Anne Hathaway glide. Er, walk. Be queen-thingy.

What Alice in Wonderland reminded me of the most, though, was a lovely novel by Robin McKinley. Well, two of her novels, actually. Heard of them? Really well written, and almost yuri if not for the pesky fact that the heroines have to have children, and that universe doesn't quite have magic. Anyway, the two novels are The Hero and the Crown and The Blue Sword. Check it out sometime.

And if you want a preview of Miyuki-chan in Wonderland, please, continue.

Really, it isn't safe for work. See ya next time!

Geeky As Charged 3

It turns out that the Aria post I was going to make will have to be delayed about a week or so, as I somehow am very busy this week. -_- Anyway, I don't want to leave you guys on a lurch, so here's a Geeky As Charged post!

Today's Geeky As Charged: I went to see a local band and their keyboardist had a KORG Triton series keyboard. This pretty much instantly reminded me of Tsumugi from K-On! Here's a couple pics...





From what comments were posted on these pictures, it seems like Tsumugi's Triton is top of the line. Of course, the one I saw today wasn't. I wish I could remember the exact model... But yeah, that's it for today. See you next time!

All's Quiet on (My) Yuri Front

*sigh* Besides the continued broadcast of Kobato (YES.), I haven't heard aaaaaaaaaaaaaanything about new yuri stuff. I guess this means it's time for me to rewatch old stuff, huh? Even my manga fixes are pretty scarce. What a terrible season. Also, probably one of the biggest things on any yuri fan's watchlist, the MAHOU SHOUJO LYRICAL NANOHA movie came out a couple days ago, and I have heard nothing about it. T_T I WANT TO SEEEEEEEEEEEE IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!! Gah.

But yes. Let us move onto my actual point. Today is another Geeky As Charged post! Yay...? *cricket noises*

...I guess I'll just move forward, huh? So I'm taking an acting class this semester and all I can think about throughout it is manga like Skip Beat and Glass Mask. I wonder if reading/watching stuff like that will actually end up helping me...? But anyway, that's it for today's Geeky As Charged! Oh, and I suppose I should put a picture up... Hm. I'm hoping for this in the Nanoha movie:

I know it's unlikely, but a fan can hope, right? ...right...?

Geeky As Charged

Have you ever had those moments where, while walking around or doing something random, you notice something that reminds you of a fan work? It seems to happen to me a lot, so I'm going to start a new feature called "Geeky As Charged"! It won't be a weekly post or anything, but everytime I notice something, I'll make a small little post with the Geeky As Charged tag and possibly on the title too. OK! Explanations are over, so let's go!

Today's Geeky As Charged: I went to see the relatively new "Sherlock Holmes" movie the other day, and the only thing I could think of after was DezoPenguin's AU Mai-HiME series featuring Shizuru as Holmes and Natsuki as Watson. As of now, it's up to the third story. Here is one, two, and three. He also has a side-story up.

Sad, innit? Also, have a complimentary image! It's not official fanart for this fanfiction, but I think it works OK with DezoPenguin's series.
