rasetsunyo's Distressed Dragon Kings (line art and coloured) have me thinking again. Goukou's elegant eyebrows are, as ever, elegant: someone should take fictional notice of them except it's not the place of anyone who's permitted to be close to him to comment on his physical attributes, even to themselves. Goushou's fire red hair, though, that I find myself liking more and more, might draw a poem from Pipang. I will think on these things and wait for my stupid shoulders to unknot. (Occurs to me suddenly that maybe stupid shoulders are knotting precisely because I haven't hefted a baby in almost a week? Sudden cessation of regular exercise etc. In which case I'm not sure what to do, because I'm not allowed to heft anything just now.)

What I'd give for a hot bubble bath. Stupid shunt holes just back of my right boob. The stitches everywhere else have presumably dissolved by now. It's just them.

I'd do the FUCK YOU, SHE'S AWESOME meme except there's no FUCK YOU to it. No one's likely to disagree with my choices.

1. Ya Yu from Woxin for all the reasons I've stated.
2. Haruka and Michiru from Sailor Moon, because the first gets to have moral dilemmas and the second moral certainty.
3. Yu Shu-lien, Michelle Yeoh's character from Crouching Tiger, because obviously.
4. Kanzeon Bosatsu, if se counts, because obviously.
5. Ivanova from Babylon 5, because she gets to have complex moral dilemmas, unlike Delenn.
6. Lan Fan from FMA; well, and Maria Ross and Riza Hawkeye and just about any female who shows up in that manga; but Lan Fan presses all my Loyal Retainer buttons.
7. Kinu from 100 Demons, by far the most ambiguous of all Ima sensei's women, and not demented in the least.
8. Genkai from Yuyu Hakusho, because she preferred to grow old.
9. The Marschallin, from Strauss' opera Der Rosenkavalier, because she's cool and has cool music.

I'm missing someone here, some older French type person, but brain won't supply the name. Basara's Sarasa *should* be here, but her creator-induced 'penis mightier than the sword' syndrome disqualifies her.

And may I hope that whoever is spamming the world from my zombie email address so that I'm deluged with bounce notices will develop overnight leprosy and lose all their fingers. (I do mean spamming the world. Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French, Korean, German and something I don't have the character set for.)

but Of Course! Kanzeon counts! Definitely Ivanova and Yu Shu Lien for sure. Sadly I don't know enough yet about the rest. Obviously my education is sorely lacking.

^_^

If I was your neighbour I'd be over in a flash to get the knots out! (I've been practicing on my mum...so I have developed good strong hands for massage!)

FMA and Strauss operas aren't part of general ed, even in LRD, though I wouldn't be at all surprised if they were.

And ohh if only you were my neighbour and not on the other side of the globe! You could partake of all NAmerica's vast cornucopia of cold remedies-- all of which, true, are a variation on pseudoephedrine and acetominophen. Spicy cooking is probably as efficacious.

Invalid One! I just left you present in my LJ. :D

(palely) 80's Toronto bands. Why thank you it's just what I've always wanted...

[mikeneko.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

You did want them. You just didn't realize it yet. But I'm here for ya! ^___^

...Colette?

[flemmings.livejournal.com]

Thought of her, but she's a real person. The fictional chara I'm thinking of might have been referencing her but. Not a Colette character, not the Arletty chara in Enfants du Paradis, agh. On the tip of my brain.

Indeed, I expect anyone would be hard-pressed to disagree with your picks. ^_^ /harts on Genkai

Though as I get older and stiffer I wonder more at someone who wouldn't want to keep those youthful joints. The face I can do without but the ligaments- yeah, man.

[incandescens]

I would agree on all those awesomes. (Except possibly Genkai from YYH, but that is because I don't know the series, so have no authority to comment.)

[flemmings.livejournal.com]

She's cool. I wouldn't get into the series just for her- it's urBleach only more so, in that the Fight of the Week is actually part of the formal set up. (Tournaments and rankings, dear god. The *things* that turn young males on.) She's the one trains the hero guy, much in the 'abuse makes them strong' Izumi Curtis line. But back story reveals that her boyfriend chose some nefarious way of remaining forever young (details gone in the mist of time) and has never forgiven her for not joining him in it.

[incandescens]

Interesting! Thank you.

Sounds a bit like part of the backstory to Walter Jon Williams' Knight Moves.
