awesome stuff

So, last night I went to get a coffee at the cafe around the corner and they gave me a BED instead. That was awesome for two reasons. One, I haven't had a bed in like two years and have just been sleeping on a mattress on the floor, and two, I didn't really feel like a coffee. I had cake instead. Cake + Bed = Happy.

Course, it meant I had to spend all day today rejiggering my furniture but it was worth it.

I have been rewatching Naruto, the Country of the Wave arc. I have thoughts about it, but I'll thoughtfully put them behind a cut, as I realise nobody really cares.


So, where am I up to? Sasuke has just been poked by a bunch of needles on account of he realised he was in love with Naruto and had to save his life. He died and Naruto hugged him and it was awesome.

I love this arc. I love Zabuza and Haku. And they love each other. And I love that they love each other. I love how Zabuza is all like this:

Kakashi: Sasuke is awesome and will totally win. And Naruto's there too.
Zabuza: THAT IS A LIE! HAKU IS THE PRETTIEST AND HAS MIRRORS AND THINGS!!!
Kakashi: Sasuke is an Uchiha!
Zabuza: SUCKS TO BE HIM!!! HAKU HAS SHINY HAIR!!!
Kakashi: When Sasuke grows up he's totally going to be badass and like kill Orochimaru and be all vengeful and stuff.
Zabuza: HE'S TOTALLY NOT GOING TO GROW UP BECAUSE PRETTY HAKU JUST KILLED HIM! WITH PRETTINESS!
Kakashi: Well, shit.


The kid in the hat bugs me. He should go live with Konohamaru and they can form a club. Of annoying kids who have a freakish obsession with Naruto, in case you didn't get that.

And what's with bridge guy, Tazuna or whatever. When he was in Konoha he was all like boozy and sassy, then as soon as he got to Wave country he was all Mr Responsibility I WILL BUILD THE BRIDGE AND BRING BACK HONOUR TO MY PEOPLE!

I forgot how much standing around Sakura did in the early episodes.

Anyway, so Naruto is about to go all Kyuubi and awesome and now I am going to go and watch it.


I wish I had cake now.

I care I care! Entries about Naruto are awesome.

Agreed, Haku is WAY TOO PRETTY to be a guy!! When I was watching that arc I kept on calling him "her" by mistake. And that conversation is made of WIN. XDDD Aw, but Sasuke's really pretty too! :D

Hell yeah that kid pisses me off. Also, I saw your tags and you're a football fan??! I THINK I LOVE YOU.

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-01-18 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Haku is totally pretty. I kept thinking they'd suddenly reveal that he was a girl after all, but no. Sasuke is heaps pretty, but you can still tell he's a guy, you know?

Aussie Rules football, I like.

[identity profile] starfishdance.livejournal.com 2008-01-18 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Sasuke's a pretty boy. Haku is just... pretty. :D

Oh, I just watch the English Premier League. Which part of Australia do you live in?

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-01-18 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
LOL, yeah they are both so pretty. I love that bit where Haku tells Naruto that he's a boy when they're in the forest, and Naruto is all like 'BUT YOU'RE CUTER THAN SAKURA' and then there's this shot of Sasuke. It's like yeah, we know what you really meant, Naruto! :P

I'm in Melbourne, and everyone gets a bit football-mad here in the winter. Whereabouts are you?

[identity profile] starfishdance.livejournal.com 2008-01-18 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
HAHA totally, they don't hint around NaruSasu so much as shove it in your face. XD They probably added in that part to let all the viewers know Haku was actually a guy.. cos it's seriously IMPOSSIBLE to tell otherwise!

Cool, I've been to Melbourne, it's great! I live in Singapore. :)

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-01-18 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I know, right. It's like 'this is totally a shonen manga even though the two male characters KISS EACH OTHER and ARE OBSESSED WITH EACH OTHER and pay next to no attention to the female characters at all!'. I love it! :p

I totally agree. Like in the bit where we first see Haku, when he needles Zabuza, I was all like 'why do they keep saying that's a boy, what makes them think that?' I still don't really get it.

Oh, Singapore! Lucky! Melbourne is nice. Or at least, the coffee is good. :p

[identity profile] saqqara13.livejournal.com 2008-01-18 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
ROFL! Haku is very pretty. I just might need to write a one-shot about her... erm, him.

HEY, the bridge was *totally* worth it just to see Sasuke's first smile in the manga in, what, forever? "The Great Naruto Bridge"... BELIEVE IT! hee hee

*prepares to duck thrown objects*

And... uhm... how the hell did you get a bed at a coffee shop?!

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-01-18 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL, yeah like a funny one-shot where every time Haku goes to the hot springs they're all like WHY ARE YOU GOING IN THE MENS! Or something :P

Yeah, the 'Great Naruto Bridge' bit was awesome. It was like HE DOES CARE, HE CAN'T DENY IT! Sasuke, he's still in there somewhere, under all that white fabric.

The bed thing... well I go to the cafe all the time, so I've got to know the owners quite well, and they'd given one of the waitresses a bed but then she moved back to New Zealand so they had to get rid of it.

[identity profile] saqqara13.livejournal.com 2008-01-18 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
HAHA... that would be excellent.

Yep yep, Sasuke + facial expression = omgliekwoah

Ah, OK... I was like, dang, that's one helluva gracious coffee house, I should go there and bemoan my lack of XBox 360... bee hee hee

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-01-18 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I know! They're totally awesome there. They're always giving us free stuff. Though, we do go in like every single day, I think we've spent enough money to put their kid through uni.

hey saw your post in chuunin!
Came to have a peek and your banner like totally had me staring!!
It's soooo pretty!! Did you make it?

The wave arc is good :D but I've watched it too many times allready!
Whenever I run out of anime it's always back to Naruto and Ouran lately...

I added you hope you don't mind it's the banner haha...totally XDD

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-01-18 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't it a great banner! I got it from [livejournal.com profile] maximumimpulse5, there's a whole bunch on really pretty layouts over there if you look under the tags. I wish I was clever enough to make something that pretty, but whenever I make graphics they come out so amateurish and lame-looking.

I'm really enjoying re-watching the Wave arc. I've mostly rewatched the very first 'Naruto becomes a ninja and has to get Kakashi's bells' arc and the Sasuke Retrieval/Valley of the end arc, so this one is still pretty fresh for me. I love how they have all this subtle foreshadowing about missing nins and the Sharingan and all that, and how Haku totally makes Naruto get the 'precious people thing'. (And how Haku is all YOU AND SASUKE ARE TOTALLY IN LOVE AND I WILL PROVE IT BY MAKING HIM DIE IN YOUR ARMS, ONLY NOT REALLY.)

Course I don't mind the add. You can never have enough Naruto friends!!!

oooh I've never thought about it that way!! It's so totally true! haha :DD
Thumbs up for Haku**

Maybe I should rewatch it again...

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-01-20 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I need to finish watching it, but I keep getting distracted by fic and doujinshi and all my awesome new LJ friends! Not that I'm complaining :P

[identity profile] keikeiaznqueen.livejournal.com 2008-01-19 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)
*__* You make me wanna rewatch that arc too. My favourite. *sigh* I truly fell in love with SasuNaru at that point when they declared their undying love for each other. Can't get better than that. Heh, I argued with myself about Haku's gender, before he really admitted it. XDD

And Konohamaru/Inari is actually a good pairing-- when they grow a little older and get a chance meeting. *has been reading too many fanfics*

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-01-19 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I sort of fell in love with NaruSasu when they accidentally kissed. Like, I had to rewind it because I was all OMG THAT DIDN'T REALLY HAPPEN, DID IT? AWESOME! But it was more of a 'that's-kind-of-cool-but-I'm-such-a-slash-h0r-that-I-see-it-everywhere' thing until the wave arc. I think the tree climbing bit really got me, and then with the bridge scene, my brain just explode with OMGTHEYARESOINLOVE!!!

LOL, sorry, NaruSasu just makes me go a bit capslocky! :P

Haku is just too pretty for this world!

Konohamaru/Inari totally works! They're kind of really similar in many ways.

[identity profile] keikeiaznqueen.livejournal.com 2008-01-19 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahaha, actually, I sorta cheated and SasuNaru was destined to become my OTP... because even before I watched the actual anime, I had read doujinshi. (<-- had snagged some off my sister who bought some from japan) and THOSE ARE AWESOME OMG. So I couldn't see anything other than these two boys in love in the anime. XDD

Yeah, kissing, tree-climbing, dying for each other... they're done everything, haven't they. XD

Don't worry, I'm really talkative when it comes to SasuNaru too.

=DDD

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-01-19 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL, I knew nothing at all about Naruto when I started watching, so it was all totally new to me. Still the narusasu love is undeniable! I've never actually read any doujinshi, I don't even know where to find it! :(

They really have done everything. Which is why they're totally awesome!!!

[identity profile] keikeiaznqueen.livejournal.com 2008-01-20 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
I can send you a few NaruSasu ones, I have a large collection of'em. =D Although I'm more into SasuNaru so I have an even larger collection of that. XD There is a scanlation team called SasuNaru.is.love out there and you can find them if you google 'SasuNaru doujinshi'. There is also a comm that shares Naruto doujinshi, and sometimes, there're some SasuNaru and NaruSasu stuff shared (and it's also indicated who tops, usually).

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-01-20 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? That would be awesome! I like SasuNaru as much as NaruSasu, either way is fine by me! You can email me at anitao@mac.com, or if it's any trouble to do that, if you could just rec a few and I'll hunt them down myself. Thank you so much!!!

[identity profile] keikeiaznqueen.livejournal.com 2008-01-20 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
In that case, go to this link (http://sasuxnaruislove.snowfaerie.net/projects.php) and get 'Rocket' and 'Skin'! 'Skin' is the sequel to 'Rocket'. They're both reeeeaaally awesome, my favourites. I read them over and over again. =DD 'The Sun' is also great. (All three are by one of my favourite circles Acute Girls. I'm just reccing a few though, because I ended up downloading all that was available since I couldn't get enough of the pretty art and the hotness. XD) I'd also rec all of the stuff by Acute Girls. 'Sign', 'Moe Doe', 'Purple Pages', 'I Exist For You', 'Aka', 'Sakura'...

[livejournal.com profile] sunshine_melodi has some really great doujinshi by Piero! My favourite on there is Youth Terrorist-- it's just plain awesome, and Piero draws the hottest Sasuke ever.

For NaruSasu, I recommend the doujin uploaded at the NarutoDoujinshi comm that can be found at this link (http://community.livejournal.com/narutodoujinshi/12756.html#cutid1). =DD

This should be enough for now. ;)

I spend too much time saving all this up. XDD;;

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-01-20 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh wow, thank you SO MUCH!! I am so much going to spend all night reading this now! <33333
