Fangirling's the best exercise for my heart. Some people say cardio exercises, but BAHHHH. Fangirling does it better! Makes the poor organ go lub-dub-lub-dub ten times faster without the running.

Ooooh yes, I totally adore the idea of being able to fangirl together!! It is the dakimura that I was talking about!! Woots! I was so tempted to get it, but my parents would probably laugh their heads off. Or worse, think I am going crazy because I don't have a boyfriend in reality and am totally going gaga over a...well, pillow case. HAHA. Not that it's a bad idea, I'll take dear Okita-san over any guy here any time. I'll probably drool in my sleep every night but OKAY, gory details are not needed. Oh Sweetie, it's selling online! So...you know, if you ever want to get it, it's still there!! HAHA.

PHWOAR!!! OMG do you know that I entertained the same idea??? But it wasn't just Sesshoumaru...I was thinking of lumping Sesshoumaru, Byakuya and a couple of stoic characters together!!! They'd look OH-SO-GOOD. Have you seen this particular fanart of Aizen, Tousen and Gin in military uniforms? Like, major drool fest. I cannot really care for Tousen, but Aizen and Gin made the heart rates soar. If you ever drew Sesshoumaru in a Western military uniform...please warn me in advance so I can throw a poncho over my laptop in case my nosebleeds get too bad!

The Chibi are toooooo cute~ *grabs wildly at the screen* Awwww. They are cute no matter what size they come in! Hakuouki is just...awesome. You lucky ducky!! Taiwan should be the next best place in the world other than Japan for anime merchandise! They have so much Japanese stuff, it's unbelievable. In fact, my brother bought the entire collection of Inuyasha manga from Taiwan

My fellow bishie/shoutacon/M-type-fangirl-for-Okita!!

Oooooh so that's how you discovered Hakuouki! That's a pretty cool way of doing so I discovered it from pixiv.com, and I was just wondering why the girl had pictures with so many different bishies and before I knew it, WHAM! I was hit by the Hakuouki bug and have never recovered since. I still adore you so much for introducing me to pixiv! XD

You got me cracking up with the S and M fangirl ramble!! LOl. So cute. I totally understand!! Okita is such a dreamboat, and his merchandise always get sold out on those anime merchandise sites!! XD Did you see the Okita pillow case? I am so tempted to buy it even though my neighbors might think I'm some twisted psycho should they see Okita hanging out in the sun with my laundry. XD

Saitou's Western military uniform totally gave me the fangasms!! I squealed when I saw him - I love them all, but I thought his uniform look was the most awesome. Kazama...well he can just join the queue behind our lovely bishie harem!!

Heisuke's new hair is gorgeous! The super long ponytail, especially when tied so high up, was just rather...impossible. In the physics sense. I am positively bouncing from excitement in anticipation of the new chapter!

Lucky you~ I wish I had a friend going to Taiwan or Japan!! XD Are there any specific items which you're getting?

Ahhhh. I've just read the latest chapter of Bleach!!! OMG. So the butterfly abomination got his mega wings clipped. HMMMMM. Down with the butterfly! You're right, Zoe, he was getting really annoying for my tastes. But of course, Kubo was considerate enough to make up for the hideousness that's Aizen with an 'upgraded' Ichigo!! You're not alone in digging that new look. I adore his face (for some reason he became so different yet still the same) and the long black hair goes really well. The part about mullets totally got me cracking up, and yes, ohmigosh Byakuya has the most beautiful hair. Did you see the latest anime episode? No guy looks better with a flurry of pink swirling around him XD *fangirls* Sometimes, he reminds me so much of Sesshoumaru, it's almost creepy.

I have written a couple of drabbles/oneshots in Chinese, but I don't think I am any good You see, the only place I have to post them is baidu.com, and that's where the mainland Chinese fans congregate. Faced with their super awesome and often poetic command of the Chinese language, my writings tend to resemble middle school kids' essays. LOL. As for languages, I am fluent in English, Chinese and Japanese. As in, speak, read and write. I've learned French for 2 years, but I cannot speak it, except for the most basic phrases. You?

Now you've totally got me hyped up for One Piece! But there are soooooooo many episodes, and that would probably take me another bazillion years to finish reading! Maybe I should start with the anime I've heard too many good reviews about it, though I personally think the art could be better.

LOL I totally had to check Yamapi's MV out, and is that even called a skirt/dress? I think a more fitting term would be a 'stamp'. How people squeeze themselves into such tiny articles of clothing is beyond me! XD Ooh so I am not the only one who thinks all Kpop artistes look alike!! There's this trademark face which everyone has, and because of it, it takes me ages to learn faces and know who's who! XD It doesn't help that I always get them wrong, and my pre-pubescent cousins are like, "Jie jie, you got it wrong again!! This is supposed to be XXX!!" HURHUR. I term it 'generation gap'.

Zoe!! OMG I totally had to reply ASAP when I saw Hakuouki. It's probably the best and the worst thing for my sanity, which as I always say, is of questionable existence in the first place. But OMG let me totally gush here...

I LOVE OKITA. I wish I could cough for him so the poor thing gets a less miserable life. And I ranked the bishies LOL. I think I love Saitou second best, followed by Heisuke (never knew I was into shouta subconsciously HAHA), Hijikata, Harada, Shinpachi and so on. Kazama was never quite on my YAY!list despite being pretty hot himself. I am dying to play the game too!!

Oh yes, Chizuru was so cute initially, but at the end she got a little annoying with the 'I am so sorry, it's all my fault'. She should really get stronger in season 2, which is coming out oh-so-soon!!

Hi dear! Sorry for the terribly late reply...real life had been a b****. And Pixiv took most of my online time away XD I cannot stop looking at those awesome picture! Anyway, speaking of Chinese fandoms...well, they are a little different from English fandoms, and they can be a little demanding for updates at times. I barely write Chinese fiction, but I've seen my fair share of rude reviews on those fandoms.

Ahh so I'm not the only one who thinks the new Ichigo is very Kaien-ish!! Have you read the latest chapter?? Poor Butterflaizen totally had the 'WTF' face when Ichigo continued to manhandle him!! Woots! But I know what you mean - Ichigo should remain the goofy, loud and slightly dense boy he was! He's now so cool; he's practically giving my darling Byakuya (Nii-sama!!!!) a run for his money. But yeah, I do agree with you. If Kubo makes Ichigo kill Aizen off at the end of Deicide, I'll be rather disappointed. For all the power that abomination has displayed, he shouldn't be exterminated too easily. I have my own ideas as to how it would end though I haven't read One Piece before though I've watched a few random episodes of anime here and there. Is it good?

LOL speaking of Bleach pairings...there are TOO MANY CHARACTERS. Urahara/Yoruichi is really cool, and Renji/Rukia is cute. There was a time when I went crazy reading Ulquiorra/Orihime fics...XD I'm such an otaku, really.

Uwaaaa I went to check Yamapi's new single out! It's really autotuned, though I'm not quite surprised because KAT-TUN has already done it. LOL Donghae is such a cutie, isn't he?? The kpop boys are soooo good-looking...*sigh* we need more of such good specimens here in Singapore!

haha i understand that feeling! LOL It's like drawing what 10 year olds can draw and it feels horrible. Especially when you have that GREAT idea stuck in your head and you can't draw properly @_@ EVIL hands XP

I'm soooo going to study how to draw like the mangaka of "Witch Hunter" XD The way the characters were drawn are sooo my type! I don't think it's called a manga though, coz it's korean. So it's Manwha.

aww thanks! Though I do change styles too. It depends on my mood too XP If my trusty hand feels like cooperating with me, I can make decent works. But when it's totally ignoring my pleas for cooperation, I end up with doodles LOL
btw, I LOVE you style! Your strokes are soft and not overly done. And the way you color your artworks are comfy to the eyes~ It complements with your linearts~ XD

Well, you've definitely achieved high impact with this one!! It was so intense, and I really applaud your constant efforts in improving. For one, kudos on the creativity...I am very sure I haven't seen a dead Sesshoumaru yet. But you did it!! That's really, really cool. Also, I've definitely noticed the difference in your style for this one. It's less shoujo and manga-ish, and there is an air of maturity with how realistic and angsty it is.

In a nutshell, I am super impressed. You're my idol. XD and LOL I am no deity; if I were, I wouldn't be stuck with the upcoming chapter of Shanghai! There's sooooo much research involved; it's killing this ol'Missteak. LOL. I'll send you the excerpt of the new chapter tomorrow

And I forgot to add that losing his shirt is just about the best thing that could happen.

OMG. It took my breath away. His face...gosh, he looked so dead. And the rose is just tragic, because we know who it symbolizes.

I am now so tempted to show you an excerpt of the next chapter of 'Shanghai' (which I am furiously working on now, hence explaining the delay in my reply to your wall post), because the next chapter will make you feel differently for him, and I have no idea how it will affect your interpretation of the artwork.

Why are you soooooo talented??? YOU ARE AWESOMENESS PERSONIFIED.
