So after making a salad I was thinking to myself 'Man, if I could change Jenny's account name, it would totally be lacks_the_bust.'

So I was wondring.

1. Why did you give your character the username they have and how did you come up with it/them? Is it a fandom joke, a reference, a punny name, etc.
2. If you could name them anything else, what would it be?

AHH THAT'S SO AWESOME

when I watched the ending clip I was like "Oh wow... look at those... passionate glances..." but I figured the ~lesbian~ thing was just a fandom joke of them always being all over each other.

I'M SO GLAD IT'S PRACTICALLY CANON DOIUFHUIF /SCREAM

It is!

Haha, while the ending is pretty gay, it's nothing compared to other parts of the game. And the chapters of the official light novel that deal with them. Seriously, they have more going on between them than most of the FF pairings in the past have.

I'm ridic. amounts of excited about this--there really need to be more lesbians in video games (or every media at all, really) aughhghg!

I need to read the light novel too... just... the translations are so clunky--understandably, though--it makes it hard for me to focus when reading them.

ALSO HEY I noticed you made some of your icons! are you capping them yourself, or!

[identity profile] sunbreaksdown.livejournal.com 2010-01-08 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
There really do! When I started playing FFXIII, I wasn't aware that Fang even existed as a character, much less that there was going to be gay—so it was kind of a pleasant surprise, really.

Seeeriously. Hopefully someone will be able to do a Japanese → English translation, rather than the current Japanese → Chinese → English ones that are floating around (that randomly change tense and POV like five times a sentence... ).

Yeah, I capped 'em myself. Which is why they're pretty awful quality, but! I just wanted more icons, really, and was impatient.

[identity profile] tracing.livejournal.com 2010-01-08 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
oh wow, really! that's really awesome, then! I love those two already I can feel it.

OH IS THAT'S WHY THEY'RE LIKE THAT? lmfao while I was reading it, it was basically like "LIGHTNING STEPS ON THE A COCONUT AND TURNS TOWARD SNOW WHILE THINKING COMPASSIONATELY AND SAYS 'STAY AWAY FROM MY SISTER' AND THIS CAUSES HIM TO LAUGH AS HE REPLIES..." and I just. couldn't. read it. plus it made like, everything just seem so weird and made Hope's 'baww my dad won't chill out with us at the beach MY LIFE SUCKS!!!!!!' drama sound even dumber.

oh! where did you cap them from? I REALLY LIKE THEM, ESP. THIS ONE:

lmao those ones about Snow, Lightning and Serah are from the webnovel, and translated about ten times better than the Fang/Vanille related chapters currently are. Seriously, half way through the translator gives up with prose, and starts listing everything in script format.

Aaaaand I took the caps from YouTube because... I am not smart enough to work out how to rip things straight off my PS3.
