One Piece - Dressrosa arc
Nov. 12th, 2014 01:51 pmI've now read the Dressrosa arc of One Piece to date, so I'm current up to chapter 766, which I believe is the latest one.

The library had a bunch of early One Piece volumes (through Alabasta) and then basically everything post-timeskip, so I've now read the entire Punk Hazard arc.
And ...
A CHARACTER HAPPENED.
But probably not the one you think.

Question for One Piece people
Oct. 24th, 2014 10:13 amIs there a generally agreed-upon spelling for Iceberg's name? I notice AO3 has him "Iceburg" -- is that how it's normally romanized?
Not that I need to know for ... reasons or anything.
(We finished Water 7/Enies Lobby last night, up through episode 324, and HOLY MOLY. *____* Also, I really want to know why there is basically no fic on AO3 for Iceberg and Franky. .... well, okay, I know why, because Iceberg is a relatively minor character from a story arc in the mid-2000s, but I WANT IT ANYWAY. Most of the One Piece fic is hiding over on ff.net, isn't it?)

Miscellaneous
Oct. 19th, 2014 07:08 pmI have the house to myself tonight and some uninterrupted Internet time, so I am getting through the rest of the DVD commentaries and answering comments (STILL SO BEHIND) and generally hanging out online; hello!
My sister and I have managed to watch an absolute fuck ton of One Piece over the last 2-3 days. We got through the entire Water 7 arc and are now into Enies Lobby. ( Kinda spoilery comments on a couple characters )
Assorted links from around my flist:
There's an interesting post at![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
selenak's journal about the fannish term "manpain", like "Mary Sue", coming to be used so generically that it's useless. (Also, I suppose it's a sign of how much time I've been spending on Tumblr lately that my instinctive reaction to finding a thoughtful post was first of all "reblog it so my friends can read it!" No no, self, we have a way of handling these things on LJ, WE LINK TO STUFF.)
I also jumped into a discussion atchordatesrock on dark hurt/comfort and how fandom deals with trauma. Interesting topic and it made me ponder a bit.
There's also a link in the above post to this absolutely amazing comic strip that has a beautiful metaphor for the true worth of creativity that others deem worthless.
Oh hmmm, what else. It looks like both![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
festivids and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
yuletide are taking signups now. I'm not doing either one of them this year (though I may try to do a festivids treat; I really do want to get back into vidding!).

sheron noticed my Fullmetal Alchemist icon and asked:Can you talk a bit about FMA and your favourites there (characters/moments/themes)?
Why certainly!
I've seen the anime but not the movie, and I'm not past volume 6 or 7 of the manga, so please don't spoil me in comments for the latter two. (It's my understanding that the manga goes a very different direction than the anime, so I'm looking forward to getting a whole new look at the FMA-verse when I get around to picking up more of the manga.)
( So, about FMA! )
