 | 10:33 am - Oofuri flailing ♥ And a confession of failing.
As for what I did yesterday, instead of being on LiveJournal*: I browsed IJ. It continues to give me a fuzzy feeling.
And I watched Oofuri.
And.
ASJDHKFD! I wish I could squee to Muse about Oofuri, because she is a Golden Pair shipper and would understand. But I never see her these days.
What's so wonderful to me, in Oofuri, at this point (ep 4), is the relationship between Abe and Mihashi. It goes with Abe seeing the potential in Mihashi, Mihashi wanting to impress Abe but being massively insecure about his pitching and not believing Abe believes in him; and now, Abe has also realized that he has to make Mihashi see that he needs Abe and that they'll make the most fantastic pair as pitcher/catcher who work together and asfgklk. It's like seeing the Golden Pair get together, not just watching them be married. And I've always been one to go for get-together fics, not established relationship ;)
One another thing I've been wondering, when watching this, if I'm too hasty to write off some things as cliches. Because I haven't watched too much sports anime, I haven't gotten used to certain things and so, when I see them occur in two or three animes I think "oh this is a cliche for this genre". I think if I had watched more, I'd just think "oh this is normal". I wonder if it's really easier to pick cliches from something you are not used to, than from something you have seen hundreds of versions of? Because by then it'll be the norm? Or because at first you think that if there's the same thing in two shows it must be in a dozen more, too, because how else would you have come across such thing twice?
I noticed the same when I gave k-dramas a shot; when the same thing occurred in Full House and then in Coffee Prince, I decided it was a cliche for kdramas, not that, uh, I would somehow pick shows with similar characteristics...
*AT TWELVE OH EIGHT I ACCIDENTALLY BROKE MY LJ BOYCOYTT (but not the strike). But see, I have an explanation :(
I was on Facebook, and saw on my feed that one of my best friends had changed her website to be her travelling blog (she's going on student exchange to Germany). So of course I wanted to see what it was like and I clicked and read the first entry and then I started to bookmark it when I realized that IT'S ON LIVEJOURNAL OH MY GOD I WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO GO THERE TODAY. So I just bookmarked it and exited, without commenting - so see, I still honoured the strike!
I'm having lots of friends coming over to New Home today :) First two of my high-school friends, then one of sister K's friends who is kind of mine too. And a fourth one should visit during Easter Holiday too! Yay.
