saiyuki, NaNoWriMo, nu ma nu ma

[cicer]

I think one of my favorite moments in Saiyuki is in volume 5 when Hakkai is telling Gojyo that when Kanan was kidnapped, he didn't sense anything. He feels bad because he thinks he didn't love her enough; if he did he would have had some kind of sixth-sense and known she was in trouble. Gojyo gently scoffs at that, and kind of says that sort of thing isn't realistic and it's not at all Hakkai's fault. And then, a few pages later, Hakkai is attacked by a Random Youkai. Gojyo is walking around with Sanzo and Goku, and he freezes. Sanzo and Goku ask him what's wrong, and he won't say, but it's obvious he senses something. ♥ Best. Subtext. Ever.

Also, in volume 7 when Sanzo is tackled off the cliff by Another Random Youkai, Goku has a similar reaction while he's trapped in the gourd with Hakkai. He immediatly senses that something has happened to Sanzo. I love that. *hearts*

A reminder! Remember to go here and fill out the poll if you want to be on the NaNoWriMo filter for this journal. I'm probably going to start posting about that soon. Also, I suspect that there will be quite a few polls about my novel. Should Character A fall in love with Character B or Character C? What cheap plot device should I include next? Which name is better for Character D/the country they live in/the title of the book? Oh yes, it's gonna be fun. *dies*

Also, I saw a trailer for the movie Chicken Little. It had Dragostea din Tei playing in the background. I nearly choked on my drink. *giggles uncontrollably* That song is going to take over the world!

I never noticed that scenes in Saiyuki! I have to go to re-check; thanks for giving me an excuse for it ;-)!

♥ I love it! The subtext!

I love those moments too- with Gjyo and Hakkai even though they've only known each other a short time, there's that really powerful bond.

[cicer.livejournal.com]

Yes. ♥ I adore the fact that that bond between them is canon.

I loved these scenes! It was cleverly done, I think. ^___^ Subtext makes fangirls happy.

[cicer.livejournal.com]

It's very cleverly done. Not too obvious, but definitely there.

[gameazel.livejournal.com]

Hell yes!! It's like, fated or something. Deus ex machina! Just..so together.

[cicer.livejournal.com]

It's totally fated! Reincarnated!love! *fangirls*

Oh, I know about those scenes. I was happy about them. ^_^ And, of course, there's the scene in...uh...vol 2? when Yaone releases her sleeping drug and it affects everyone but Hakkai and Hakkai freaks out when Gojyo starts to pass out and catches him and lowers him to the ground and is still holding on to him during the first part of his conversation with Yaone. ^_________^

(and, wow, that was a long sentence...)

Bring it on, about your novel! ^_^ (still up for Beta'ing, just in case you forgot ^_^)

I think that the numanuma song should take over the world. ^_^ I first heard it in the Cosplay contest at NDK last month. It was awesome and I have it now (and played it for my best friend who now owns the CD).

I love that bit in volume 2! When I was new to the series and just reading it for the first time, that was definitely one of the moments that made me go, "Oooh. This series has some nice slash potential..." I have a one-track mind, yes. *grins*
