eredienI haven't been posting too much in here lately; mostly because I type for half the day at work and can't think of much interesting to day about my day when I come home--most of my thoughts are about writing-projects, which no one but me would understand or care too much about at this point, anyway.
That being said, I've begun to send stuff out again--or will once i have a reply to my most recent query--and that makes me feel happy.
Saw the final four episodes of Wolf's Rain iast night, and really enjoyed it. I'd been putting off watching them for almost six months, based on a recommendation from Sei; but even though there were things in the last four that I found unnecessarily harsh and/or brutal on the characters, there were things that were perfect. (There were also things that made me go, "huh, ick, why did I have to dream that bit again?" like the scene with Darcia's eyeball....and I'm frustrated because the video quality isn't quite good enough to look at the book in still-frame and try to see if it's Russian, or Old Church Slavonic, or old Russian...but I really do intend to translate that at some point and put all the Russian in the series up on the internet along with screenshots.
All in all a lovely series if one is not watching with human reactions to things....there's drawbacks as bits of it flatten out, I think--it's not as deep psychologically as it would/ought to be if I were human, there's no shock of suddenly seeing the world from a different perspective. But it gains emotion in other ways--it's more deep spiritually, and makes you cry for other reasons. I really finally think I figured out, finally, when the wolves see each other in human form, vs. their wolf forms--and I couldn't explain it to you in words how I realized it. Partially because I'd been seeing examples throughout the series, and this was a particularly obvious one of how the principle worked...but I just did. It was really neat.
And that trick with the ending was amazing. Now I have to go watch that back-to-back with the opening.
And if someone kicks me this weekend I'll try to see why the fanfic website isn't working at all.
