4th anniversary and some PoT memories~

Firstly, Happy White Day, Happy Pi Day, Happy w-inds. Anniversary, and (most importantly):

Happy 4th Anniversary to my Wifey~ ♥♥♥

I love youuu,

nightengale, always and forever.

In some other news, LJ sucks and is made of fail. See epic wank in the

news comm. :( Yet I am still here because my fangirling > my morals. Wtf, why am I so lame.

I read the last Prince of Tennis chapter (finally)!
This was how it went:

MEI: OH, they're at nationals.
YUKIMURA: I will hit the two halves of Ryoma's ball at once!
MEI: Wait, what? When did Ryoma become magically capable of splitting his ball in half--oh that sounds so bad. Never mind, this is PoT. Physics gets on its knees.
RYOMA: Oh no you don't bitch. *PWNS*
RYOMA: *is winnar, surprise suprise*
MEI: Aw, I still love you, you snarky not-12-years-old-at-all brat~
SEIGAKU: YAY WE WON NATIONALS!
MEI: Surprise, surprise.
TEZUKA: *smiles*
FUJI: OMG TEZUKA, YOU SMILED.
TEZUKA AND FUJI: *have UST like whoa*
MEI: ...why, Konomi, why do you hate my ship? I mean, cool.
HYOUTEI: *walks off, sad*
MEI: DDDDDDDDDDDD: COME BACK TO ME HYOUTEI ILUUUUU.

TIMESKIP: *happens*
MOMO: *yells a lot*
RANDOM SEIGAKU TENNIS CLUB MEMBERS: Boy, he yells a lot for not even being captain. Rage issues much?
MEI: No, no, it's sexual frustration. But, hey, this means--
KAIDOH: HELLO I AM BUCHOU AND SUPER AWESOME. Except without this shouting, because I am learning stoicism from Tezuka.
MEI: OH KAIDOH. I'm so happy you are captain! ♥♥
MOMO: So I wonder where our main character is and how he's doing...

LOCATIONSKIP: *happens*
NYC: *full of tall buildings and random people picking on small tennis players on street courts*
RANDOM PEOPLE: You think you can play tennis? *sneers*
RYOMA: Hey, stop beating up small tennis players. I'm a small tennis player!
RANDOM PEOPLE: O rly?
RYOMA: Ya rly. Why don't you teach me some tennis? *smirk*
RANDOM PEOPLE: We have no idea what we're getting ourselves into.
RYOMA: *still does not look 12. or 14. or whatever*

PRINCE OF TENNIS MANGA: *ends*

MEI: ...strangely less confusing than the last chapter of Death Note, of which I skipped the last 40 chapters, when I skipped the last...oh two hundred chapters of PoT. Konomi, you lack ability to surprise.

Also, hi, way to not dwell on winning the most epic tennis match ever. But okay, cool, whatever.

But really: awww, PoT. So many fond memories and introductions to some of my best and favorite people. No matter what, I will always have a soft spot for you, even when I make faces and complain about how horrible you (canon or fanon) were at times. It's always with love. ♥

(And, to be honest, Super Junior wasn't as intimidating as I pretended it was after coming from a fandom with five gazillion characters to ship and write. Seigaku, Fudomine, Hyoutei, Rokkaku, Yamabuki, St. Rudolph's, Rikkaidai, and on and on? This fandom was like a test of your ability for rote memorization.)

So hey, thanks for the good times and the memories, PoT. Most importantly, thanks for the people. :) It's a nice farewell~

Happy White Day, Happy Pi Day, Happy w-inds. Anniversary (it's w-inds. anniversary?), and Happy Anniversary~~ Not reading the PoT spoilers because I'm hoping to read all of it if I ever get the chance, but I hope it's a good ending?

Happy all those to you too~ Hee. Yes, it's w-inds. anniversary. Some ridiculous number like 7th or something. They've been around forever, oh boys.

PoT's ending wasn't...terrible. It was nothing that surprised me, at least. I already deleted my zip otherwise I'd offer to send it to you. :( Oh wait, I found the link where I downloaded it though! http://rycolaa.com/2008/03/01/prince-of-tennis-379-last-chapter/

Whoo~ 7! Not quite as big a number as Shinhwa, but wow, they've been around for a loooong time.

Thanks for the link~~~ now i just need to find every other chapter before that. XD

I think onemanga.com has it all?

Shinhwa is, like, epic. I wish I were more into them. Time to rectify this!

Anyone who's been in PoT fandom can never complain about any fandom having too many people ever again.

Pretty much. There were at least 7 on each team, and multiply that by...however many schools there were...8? 9? We get some ridiculous number like 56 or 63. Oh PoT.

Aw, PoT. Geez, now it really has come to an end, I... I don't even know. Aww. I'm completely unsurprised or blown away, but it provides warm, fuzzy feelings.

Ahahaha, yeah, looking back, 13 is a cake walk compared to PoT's insane, crack-filled cast.

Seriously, what were we complaining about? XD We were totally capable of handling SuJu. ~~It was just a matter of distinguishing them at first.~~

Yeah, they didn't have the anime-type of distinguishing features. XD I'm pretty sure the PoT cast is most identifiable by ridiculous tennis moves... And the fact that they almost never change hairstyles, and if they do, it's a HUGE DEAL (LOL, Shishido ♥).

... *goes to actually post SI ending notes, finally*

OH SHISHIDO. I STILL LOVE YOU. ♥

SI! I think I owe the thing a proper reread. FujiRyo, how you owned my heart. >_>

Guh, ShishiTori love forever, for serious.

Doooon't, omg, I was looking at the prologue or whatever and going "............." It's multiple years old, haha, omgwtf.

Silver Pair still makes me so happy. I need to pry myself away from LJ now or I'm going to go reread fics. Maybe I should. Except I'm supposed to be writing, dammit.

Hey! Randomly. Do you know which anniversary it is for w-inds.? I really want to say 7th but I could be making this up in my head.

It is indeed the 7th! Although I am a terrible fan and didn't realize it was their anniversary until you mentioned it. orz

Gah, it was still going till now? O: I dipped into PoT long enough to crush on Ryoma ~~(insert pedophilia)~~ and Fuji, and to fall in love with the musical. 8D Or the musical's backstage ~~boylove~~ crack, whatever.

Well, 'til a week or so ago. I'm slow. But, yeah, PoT (and all its variations of anime, musical, music, etc.) stole my heart for most of two years. I was kind of at a loss when I left the fandom about a year ago, but then I got distracted by other stuff and eventually ended up with this gay 13-member Korean boyband. I guess it worked out. :D

(Tenimyu was awesome and gay and omg.)

Still, that's a long series. O: Ohmygod, I loved the live action movie people so much. XDDD Kanata Hongo made me want to date 12 year old boys <333

(Especially how Aiba and Saitou and Yuu [the only three I know the names of] were gay even outside of it. *__*)

Oh Hongo, omg. So perfect and snarky and, ugh, young.

Hyouteimyu cast made my life, and original!Seigaku stole my heart forever. And the original ichinen trio. I did lol at Aiba and Saitou's gayness outside of the myus--but I don't know much about Yuu's. Is he just normally that way or did he act in a BL movie too? He was never my favorite. :(

I kind of want to eat him. ~~Lol Kanata = young Gackt made tenth grade year.~~

No, actually, now that I think about it, he's pretty blatantly-gay!free. =/ Wow, disappointing. I think my memories of Aiba's and Saitou's gay movies and then Yuu's ~~soft porn~~ DVD showcase star thingy (the one almost all the Tenimyu stars did?) and THEN his gay with...Atobe? - yeah, all blurred together until he was epic and gay too. I like Aiba best <333 Yuu is just hot. 8'D

*made my

(Gah, I swear it's the late hour)

I dipped a bit earlier to check out how the ball got split in half. Did you know that earlier in the match Ryoma was pretty much being pwned by Yukimura because Yukimura decided to go against every law in existence (physics, biology, chemistry and whatever else had to lick the ground he walked on)? He managed a way to make his tennis remove your senses. Ryoma couldn't see, hear, feel anything. (but that's okay, it was cheesy as Ryoma became the next level of super saiyan because he realized that he did in fact really like tennis)

Happy 4th anniversary ♥

Ryoma became the next level of super saiyan because he realized that he did in fact really like tennis

LOL PoT!

That's cute. In a supremely cheesy, oh-god-another-law-of-nature-broken? way. It's so very PoT though, that I'm just fond.

Thank you! ♥

(deleted comment)

I Lol'd hard when I saw that. It was brilliant in a cheesy way that suited POT so well.

I don't know how Inui could even see... or write. They should buy him a tomb.

(deleted comment)

Wahahahaha. Oh PoT, oh PoT. You are so special in your own PoT-ways. I'm not sure what to do with these spoilers except laugh at the WTF aspect. I kind of do want to read these chapters then, unless there are a lot. The last was 379, right? What a random number. Where did you pick up reading again? :D

Oh divorce rates. :( They are disheartening. Ilu, daughter, thank you and be well. ♥

(deleted comment)

Ooh thanks! Will pick up there, then. :D

But there was a Fuji/Ryo moment in the match before Rikaidai in which Ryoma told Fuji to get back up again. I didn't read that whole school arc part, but I read the parts my friend told me to read. It's the end of chap 316-17. It made me nostalgic and happy.

I lied, they had a moment in chap 318 when Ryoma caught Fuji's ball.

Wahahaa oh my god POT. WHAT.

PS Thank youuuuu~ ♥

I feel my self-respect dropping, but that TezuFuji page made me sort of fangirl!happy OTL;

Bah, TezuFuji.

Well, not realy. I got into PoT first with TezuFuji before moving on. And at least it wasn't TezuRyo. ::pulls a face::

LOL @ the summary. Truth be told, the last I've seen of PoT was the Atobe/Ryoma match episode (w/c admittedly, kinda disappointed me because it's supposed to be epic and grand, and wtf is that laughing like evil queens at the beginning?). I liked the Prince of Volleyball OVA though, it's like my most favorite episode now. I've never read the manga, only watched the series, some OVAs, and the Ryoga movie. I know nothing about the musicals, live action and all , I don't even know where the heck Angel!Tezuka came from, though I laughed like a madman when I saw the picture.

The fandom is so big, it's crazy. ANd yes, part of the reason why I left it is because of the sheer wankery and goddamn invincibility of Seigaku. Ryoma's my favorite hands-down, but I prefer it if he lost every now or then. Preferably to Atobe but uh, let's not go there. And Real Life, the great equalizer.

I miss those days, but PoT's where I really got into fandom and made friends so I still hold it close to my heart. You're actually the first PoT Fandom friend I made, and I met half of my PoT friends through you. THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOU LOVELY PERSON YOU. ♥

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO YOU AND EMI!!! (I just realized Mei and Emi have the same letters, and me being the dork I am, I find it kinda cool. ::gets bricked::)

Also, Happy White Day, Happy Pi Day, and Happy w-inds day! (thanks to my sister, I actually know who those people are).

I just realized Mei and Emi have the same letters, and me being the dork I am, I find it kinda cool.

It's okay, we find it cool too! *icon* :D

Ugh, I heard about the Atobe/Ryoma match. It made me so angry even though Ryoma is my favorite. But if we dwell on the good memories, PoT had its fair share of lovely crack moments, totally. All the filler episodes, the musicals (which you should watch because they were amazing ♥), the live action which was very lol-worthy, the wtf-animated-movie, etc etc. One thing I don't miss is the shipwank though. God, nothing upset me like PoT shipwank; I could laugh it off for any other fandom, but PoT got my hackles up.

But ♥♥ I AM SO HAPPY I MET YOU. And that the love was spread around and people met other people and there was family! Without PoT, it would've been different, so I suppose we should all be grateful to this drug of an anime, lol. ::hugs::

Sooo belated but to you too~ ♥

...strangely less confusing than the last chapter of Death Note, of which I skipped the last 40 chapters, when I skipped the last...oh two hundred chapters of PoT

haha, that is so very very true. XD the last chapter of DN made very little sense to me even though i read every volume except the last one. the last chapter of PoT made enough sense (well, in the loosest sense of the term) even though i'd stopped reading since...i can't even remember anymore. i remember a helicopter and lots of bleeding and a short-haired!atobe, but i think i only saw those through random flist posts. i felt sad over the last anime episode (the OVAs don't count), but i think the manga was long overdue in coming to an end. :\

i don't know the newer teams from the nationals arc, but even combining just the characters from the older teams (the ones you listed) comes to a total that waaay surpasses the number of suju members. granted, they looked pretty much the same for 178 episodes and 300-something chapters and the suju boys change their looks every, what, month? week? but there were still over 50 PoT boys, and heck, i think i could probably still name at least one special supertacular sparkly tennis move from each character. XD

The flist is mostly how I keep up with manga now. People will go "alkdjfldk! Naruto 393!" and I will go "hmm, let me click this spoilery post". Or people will go "awwww DGM whatever" and I will go read it, just to see. It's an easy way that doesn't require much commitment, haha. I don't have time to spare when my primary fandom is a gay 13-member boy band that won't stop being active on TV. ;o;

the suju boys change their looks every, what, month? week?

I KNOW. We could compile a hair timeline for some of these boys alksjfk. It would be amazing.

i stopped reading naruto at, like, chapter 25, and the last chapter i remember reading was the one where sai and sasuke were Nekkid Together because it was being crossposted all around my flist. XDD i get to miss all the fillers and boring parts, but i can always count on my flist to point out the scenes worth reading. ;D

I don't have time to spare when my primary fandom is a gay 13-member boy band that won't stop being active on TV. ;o;

that is so true! i find that i have less time to read fic or manga or whatever because i spend so much time glued to youtube. >__O;

hee, that would be a project of epic proportions given that all thirteen of them change their hair on a regular bases...but it would indeed be amazing! the nice thing about their constant hair (and general appearance) changes is that i've noticed less use of appearance-related epithets in suju fanfics compared to other fandoms (i recall reading stuff like, "the purple-eyed boy" in reference to momo, and "the bespectacled boy" in reference to inui"...and the list goes on D:). even their heights aren't constant because of shoe-lifts, so none of this "the taller boy" business! *claps hands in glee* (i am not fond of the abundant use of epithets in fanfics, as you can see ^__^;)

HOLY CRAP IT WAS w-inds. DAY?! I CANNOT BELIEVE I FORGOT I SADFACE!!! AT THE WORLD.

And thank you Mei! For telling me the ALGKSJLJGSFLJ FULL OF HATE FOR THIS ENDING ending of Tenipuri. Dear Konomi, DAIIIIII. ))):

Tenipuri; possibly the only fandom I get unnecessarily worked up about, even AFTER I'm not in it anymore. The lack of thrill pains me. Oh, Mei. *clings*

Finally, DUDE FOUR YEARS. That's, like, twice the length of an average marriage! Right?

HAHAHA. OH MISHY. I don't know about that marriage stat there, that sounds kinda shiftily short. I hope that's not the actual case.

w-inds.! I love them with a fond affection that will not quit and have way too much of their music. Oh w-inds., how you've been around for so long.

PoT ending is retarded but I can't get worked up about it anymore. I just shake my head and laugh because Konomi is so...predictable.

And I agree with Emi about your sketchy stats. LOL.

i ... kind of haven't downloaded any of their new stuff. keita's voice breaking makes me sad. D8 *is a bad fan*

BECAUSE I WORSHIP YUKIMURAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. lol but yeah.oh konomi y u so like dat. ):

algksldjdf it's the thought that counts!!!

Oh god I hate that photo of meeeeeeeeee but I love that you used two matching photos, both from our trip.

Oh, man, I wanna be back on that beach with you. ♥

Happy Anv, meimeimei.

D: I'm sorry for using that photo then! I had a limited selection! I burned off most of my photo folder because it was taking up too much space on my HD. Gah. But yay for beaches and memories. ♥♥

OMG POT IS OVER D;?!!!!

Waaaaaaaaaah plz to write a Hyotei spinoff oh Konomi saaaaaaan~

*wants her Oshi, Ato, Ji fix*

PoT took too long to be over in my opinion, but it finally is! I miss the good old days with Hyoutei. :(

(deleted comment)

AH. ICON. Lemons and limes! I am both admiring of the pretty color and also immaturely reminded of our stupid fangirl days, heh. ♥

Scroll up to read random lolleriffic spoilers. There was no bomb, but apparently Ryoma did get hit by a tree get amnesia? I'm sure he's doing his very best to emulate Korean dramas.

Well done, Jaz! I'm quite proud.
