Emperor Lelouch Owns the World

My beloved Indonesians,

Justice the founder of my fabric mov'd:
To rear me was the task of power divine,
Supremest wisdom, and primeval love*

Abandon your choice for presidential election
No, forget the presidential election!
Indonesians won't be needing democrazy!
Indonesians will be needing dictatorship!

Let me be your one and all ruler
Let me be your Emperor
Emperor Lelouch thereby ordered you to be my slave!
HAIL ME!
HAIL ME!
~All hail Emperor Lelouch!~

I wont be held captive because of treason, WILL I? *run*

Oh okay, i'll back to the cave, be a 'good' Hikikomori and resume my study.

Singapore Toy and Comic Convention : Suntec City, 27-29 June 2008

I managed to catch this event! Even though I didn’t have much time to look around, I have fulfilled my primary purpose : to pose with some cosplayers and take pictures.

Gintama?

SD Gundam Force!

Haruhi Suzumiya! Kawaiiiiiiiii!!!

Kaoru/Hikaru Hitachiin? Kakkoiiiii!

Metal Gear Solid?

this is gosh-darn cute!

these androginy dolls cost a bomb T_T

It was unfortunate that I am in rush, otherwise I can spend couple of hours fooling around in the convention! I really want to browse around some cool booths of local artists as they are really inspiring :)

Masashi Kishimoto For President!!!

OMG, this is one of the biggest twist of the year!

"Foolish little brother, I am an angel you know!"

Dear All Itachi Fangirls,

Even though this splendorous brotherly love tastes heavenly, we must avenge our lovely Itachi! Revenge is a dish best served cold! Death for those causing Itachi's death. Swing the axe and OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!

No, capital punishment is so yesterday. Do it in fangirl way! Make Sasuke as an Uke and rape him! Break him! Violate him! Torture him! Assault him! Until he kneels down painfully and asks for Onii-chan's help from heaven! AHAHAHAHAAHHAHA

~I told you, fangirlsm is dangerous. It costs you your sanity T_T

Gundam 00 : Aftertaste… Aftertaste

Warning :
1)This post contains major spoiler for those who aren’t following Gundam 00 series until the final episodes
2) Apratz is the damned Queen of Spoiler, so she will have no mercy in spreading spoiler viruses *laugh frantically*

Last week I had a major agony, a pain that is hardly erased, even until today.

First thing first, my strikingly beautiful Itachi died in a super humiliating way in grandeur Uchiha combat, not because he’s freaking weakened against his hateful little brother, but because he was poisoned! I am seriously damn furious, that is not Itachi! Give me back my wicked and powerful Itachi! Now I feel like cursing the creator *sobbing*.

Second thing is, Gundam 00 first season was already ended! I cannot say that I am satisfied with the epilogue. I still think that it was really worth to be called a Finale, but since I am a crybaby, I don’t want to see some characters died, especially those whom I already had a bond with. Enough to say, I already had sort of emotional attachment with the Meisters. That’s why I will be damn freaking upset if they bid adieu to this 00 Universe. I don’t want them ended up dying; I refuse to believe that they’re all died. Tell me that this is not true! I am very torn when I saw Lockon died. I am super duper devastated when he was vanished with the huge explosion. In fact I was weeping like mad afterwards.

I swear that I won’t watch Gundam 00 anymore if they change the Meisters! I’ll seriously get mad if later on that Neena Trinity becomes the ace pilot for Exia. Please kick my ass if the new-built Meisters team consists of Neena Trinity, Stupid Patrick (without Spongebob), and Saji Crossroad. I am fine with Graham Acre being a Meister, in fact I’ve been drooling over him to join the Meisters team (then they will make perfect Bishounen Gundam-Senshi and wear frilly Sailor Uniform –here comes my secret fetish *grin*)

Hence, for the sake of entertaining myself, testing my analytical ability as a Fail ex-English Literature Minor-student, and giving my creativity a try as a storyteller wannabe, I would like to speculate about the Second Season of Gundam 00, with special highlight in the Meisters’ life (don’t ask me to speculate as a stock broker, I might end up bringing the Third Monetary Crisis in the entire Southeast Asia).

Setsuna F. Seiei

1) Setsuna F. Seiei is still alive

Seriously who will kill the main protagonist of the series? Let’s try to think in this way, can you imagine ‘Naruto’ without Naruto, ‘Gundam SeeD’ without Kira Yamato, ‘Code Geass’ without Lelouch, and so on and so forth? Setsuna is the major protagonist, he has huge resemblance to Heero Yuy from ‘Gundam Wing’ and not to mention Kira Yamato from ‘Gundam Seed’ (and Aoyagi Ritsuka from ‘Loveless’ *pun intended*). Those that I mentioned are eternal, especially our sovereign Godlike Yamato.

Setsuna will still be alive! He even has yet settled his issue with Ali Al-Saaches. As long as the antagonist is still alive, the protagonist will come down to earth and chase after the antagonist. That’s the common rule of typical Pacifist story. Setsuna has yet cast a judgment upon Ali, which will be his raison d’etre- reason to exist. Moreover, he has yet confessed his feeling to the Arabian Princess. That will be his second reason to live.

Hence, all hail Setsuna. He is dead NOT!

Allelujah Haptism

2) Allelujah Haptism is still alive
According to the Finale, Hallelujah, his alter ego is ‘vanished’. This implies that the next season Allelujah will be the modest and sincere one without the alter ego. Therefore, Allelujah still continues to live in serenity without any disturbance from his other half! (The role for outrageous Meister will be replaced by Lockon’s twin =p)

Never forget that he has a crimson thread with Soma Peiris that is being revealed in the Final episode. Their connections are still vague. There’re still unresolved mysteries between him and Soma Peiris whom he called ‘Marie’ as a cliffhanger. From here, I can conclude that I will still see Alle piloting Gundam in the second season.

Tieria Erde

3) Tieria Erde is still alive
There is still major mystery revolved around this rare beauty. Tieria shall not die before his background is revealed. Who knows that he was perhaps a Phantom of Aeolia Schenberg? Or who knows after the timeskip, he will turn into a pretty lady *vomiting*. In fact, one of his goal is to avenge Lockon’s death, means to murder Ali Al-Saaches. As long as Ali is still alive, he will also be alive!

Fortunately, it is already proven that Tieria will still be alive in the second season since he is seen during the timeskip overview. I think Tieria is my favorite character, just because I can’t stop looking at him amongst other Meisters. He never fails to absorb my attention during every combat that he went through. Anyway, I detest his new haircut! Please give back Tieria’s old haircut!

Lockon Stratos T_T

4) Lockon Stratos is still alive…… in your heart *crying a bucket*
I am sure that he is dead *sobbing*, but I am certain that his twin will take over his role and avenge his death. I sincerely hope that Lockon’s twin has a completely different persona with him. In the first season, we have freak Hallelujah amongst the Meisters, and now I expect Lockon’s successor to be the most lunatic one. That will balance the atmosphere amongst the Meisters. I suspect he and Tieria will have lovey dovey quarrel afterwards *fangirl-ism mode*.

I love tender and caring Lockon, but I am eager to see the same face with a very wicked personality.

Major conclusion : our beloved Meisters will have a reunion and attend a tea party (with Graham Acre as the fifth Meister) in the Second season *lalalala ^o^*

Tribute to Uchiha Itachi

It happens on Wednesday night...

In the midst of work, i occasionally opened Narutofan forum to catch a sneak peak of the newest chapter of Naruto manga : The Uchihas Epic Battle.

And then i saw something that i refuse to believe...

I screamed so loud at once and created quite a commotion since some people were also staying back late at office (then they swamped me with a weird look)

I don't want to believe it.

No, in fact i REFUSE to believe.

There goes my heart. Sayonara Itachi-san, you have been utterly fabulous in 'defending' your Uchiha legacy, you have successfully stolen the spot from that Pedo-Oro, you have been an exceptionally wonderful villain with your artistic genjutsu and soft-spokenness, and you have gradually shifted my 'fangirl-ism overload' from your (bastard) little brother....

Hope you rest well in the Atziluth (or Gehenna?), and have a tranquil tea party with Sasori and Deidara.

Regards,
Apret (crying a bucket)
*with super deep condolences*
**previously i intend to put Itachi's pic in the 'Yaassiin prayer book' to mark his glorious death, but well...

Warning : This post contains mega spoiler (especially for those who are not reading Naruto until the latest chapter)

What Is The Outcome of Itachi-Sasuke Fight?

I sincerely hope that it would turn out like this (Uchihacest FTW!)

Anyway it is true that I'm a loyal Sasu-tard ever since I followed Naruto, but I just detest him for being too dominant in this ItaSasu fight. I don't want Itachi to die in Sasuke's hand (damn Kishi is giving Sasuke too much hype, i start to hate him since he killed Deidara!).

From now on, I'm thinking to convert to Uchihaters, no, let's make it Sasuke-hater X(.

Apratz’ Tsundere HOST Club

Disclaimer :

• Apratz was not in her sane state of mind due to overloaded works (and overdosage stupidity) when she produced these. Hence, there’s no law against abnormal people, agree?
• Apratz doesn’t own these characters. She just made them in her working paper in nearly mad state.
  
• All images are courtesy of Apratz!
  

If perverted fanboy like him and him can fantasize about Meido’s Café or Tsundere Cafe, Apratz can also build her castles in the air by creating her own Tsundere Host Club (applause, Ladies and Gentlemen?). Before moving out further, kindly refer to wiccapedia about the definition of Tsundere.

In a nutshell, Tsundere is referring to cold, harsh, blasphemous-mouthed, and strict girls that can turn out being caring, tender, loving when she’s alone. In Apratz’ Tsundere Host Club, we have boys behaving like Tsundere girls, just that they are guys!

Similar to Ouran High Host Club which artistically classifying sweet, tender, loving, caring guys into some archetypes, Apratz’ Tsundere Host Club does the same flawless formula! So, without further ado, here is the Tsundere boys’ list,

#1 Bloody Brotherly Love : Itachi and Sasuke

Itachi and Sasuke, what’s more can you expect? They love each other, from the bottomest of their heart, just that their ‘way of Tsundere’ makes them much more violent and rough in expressing their love (ex : killing all the remaining clan to provoke ‘foolish little brother’, run into a sick pedophile for obtaining power to get closer to Onii-sama, et cetera, et cetera). Nevertheless, please believe that love is still in the air! (Kindly refer to available pic)

#2 Stoic Tsundere boy : Tieria Erde

Tieria Erde, a mysterious beauty and ultimate eyecandy from Gundam 00. A stoic looking guy who can only say ‘mission accomplished’ whenever is necessary and confront the rest of team in case anything out of plan has happened. He attracted both female and male audience of Gundam 00 (two of them are those perverted parties that we mentioned at the beginning).

#3 Sweet Tsundere boy : Wolfram von Bielefelt

Looking for a Tsundere boy with pink frilly sleeping dress that haunted your bed every night? Then Wolfram von Bielefelt from Kyou Kara Maou is for you! This sassy brat, foul mouthed, charming spoilt little Prince can be very sweet at times, and you can propose him into marriage just by slapping him on face!

#4 Loli-Shota Tsundere boy (or kid?) : Aoyagi Ritsuka

His notorious name is Loveless, and his interest is only older guys (feel sorry for girls). He can be a precocious brat that shouts at you at the first meeting! He can appear as a strong and problematic lad that melts older women’s heart (except his Mom). Yet afterwards, he will suddenly shed tears, being fragile, and in the end asked you to take a picture with him. He is very suitable with Thou with Onee-sama archetype *pointing oneself*.

Do you have any other Tsundere boy in mind? Please kindly tell Apratz, as she will be happy to broaden this insane business, in order to generate profit as much as possible! She’ll need huge amount of money to support her life contingency plan. Therefore please support Apratz, please come to her Tsundere Host Club!

After all these, Apratz realized that she might see psychiatry to test her sanity.

Sasuke-kun Doushite?

Enough with Gaara, now my issue is Sasuke. Pardon my wild imagination, but honestly i do think that Naruto is overflowed by invisible shounen ai aspects in here and there.

The first scene involving Naruto and Sasuke is the kissing scene, then moved to Haku and Zabuza (and please notice their uncanny relationship), then came to Lee and Might Guy (sort of admiration at the beginning but my instinct told me more than that *grin*, afterall they are not my cup of tea), afterwards it was Gaara and His attendant (forgot his name, pity!), then Sasuke and Itachi's grostesque relationship (boohoo, it is forbidden love!), next was Sai and his brother (gee, why there're so many boyxboy relationship? in fact it works well to attract fangirls *grin*), et cetera et cetera and finale, Sasuke and Naruto!

"Wake up Naruto, or else I kiss you!"

Even though there's almost zero improvement in SasukexNaruto relationship, i still can satisfy myself with Narusasu doujinshis or fanfics that scatterred around the net *happy*.

What Naruto boy has a crush on you and what do the Naruto characters think of you?

Gaara has a crush on you! In the exams he hated everyone except there something special about you!

Here is what the characters think of you:
Sakura: I met her once she seemed nice, but later on I learned she can be a little nasty at times. Lee: Full of Youth! But she gets annoyed easily.Tenten: Hm, I guess she is cool.Neji: I don't mind her. She doesent say much though.Shino: She does not mind my bugs so shes ok.Kiba: I don't really know her that well.Akamaru: Bark! (Shes fun at times)Hinata: I don't mind her, she seems nice but she is a little mean to me about not speaking up..Itatchi: ...Who?(The rest of the akatsuki don't really know you either) :(Ino: I like her! We gossip ALL the time! I just did not like it when she said that I looked "fat" in this outfit! Sai: We joke all the time about Naruto. Suprisingly, she gets along with me!Kakashi: She is a wonderfull student and is always focused on her goals!Gai: She is very talented! However, she could lighten up on the insults of me and my spandex!Asuma: She is a good kid.Sasuke: I like her. We talk sometimes and she is like me, but thank goodness she is NOT obessed!Kurenai: I like her, she can actually keep my students in line when I'm away!Tsunade: I like her, she reminds me of me a little.Jiriya: ..I can wait untill she is 18.Orchimaru: Heh, Heh. I have plans in stored for her..Iruka: Shes a smart kid! She always got As on her tests and quizes!Naruto: Ugh! I don't like her at all! She has a lot of nerve!!Shikamaru: I don't really care for her. She always is with Ino and they look at me then laugh!Choji: I don't like her! She is mean!Gaara: I like her a lot! She is pretty cool and just my type. She makes a lot of pain go away.Temari: Well, I don't mind her and Gaara has some feeling for her.Kankuro: She is kinda nasty! However, when ever she is close by Gaara seems to lighten up a bit.
Take this quiz!

Madness, madness, it seems that I will be a Tsundere type in anime/manga female characters, but this result is super interesting XD *grin*

Gundam 00, L'Arc-en-Ciel and Loveless...

I am currently head over heels over DAYBREAK’s BELL, L’Arc-en-Ciel’s newest singles that’s being used as an Opening Song of Gundam 00. It sounds merely like Larc in the old days, but Hyde’s vocal becomes better for certain. And, did I mention the lyrics? It was so painful, miserable, and morbid (and thanks to Otaku sama for the translation). The PV is super cool as well, how come Hyde still looks that hot in his 38 O_o ?

I think Gundam 00 resembles Loveless a lot (lookie, Setsuna is definitely Ritsuka without cat’s ears *lol*). Still the storyline will create much controversy as Gundam 00 brought over issue of ‘war of God’ and ‘war to stop war’ after Gundam SeeD erects issue about racism as portrayed in the conflicts between Natural and Coordinator (Am I right to put them into this?).

Nevertheless, my impression toward the first episode of Gundam 00 isn’t as moved as when I was first time seeing Gundam SeeD 1^st episode, when Kira met Athrun in a very heartbreaking way. According to Mr Kiasu’s prediction, ‘Celestial Being’ will suffer conflict of interest from inside, when some youths insist to stop the war and join the bigger entity, while the others decide to go ahead with the status quo. In the end they will kill each other for sure to defend their idealistic views *laugh frantically*. Oh, how I love bishounen in despair! Though to be honest, I hate to wait for 50 episodes to complete T_T.

DAYBREAK'S BELL

hey, is this the only way we can meet? isn't it sad
even at my death, I'd never even wish to end your life ...please

even fate is engulfed into the sunken ocean

wishes, ride on the wind and sound the daybreak's bell!
like a bird, my wishes over their airspace
may they protect you, you who cross beyond the endless wave to face tomorrow
My life I trade in for your pain
O Conflict, cease!

hey, why do people repeat and pile their mistakes?
they don't progress and anyone can spill blood, it's spiteful

with flames they punish each other, on earth that belongs to none

Should a crystal clear future come, even weapons would be adorned with flowers
My wishes over their airspace
someone shake me awake from a nightmare
if only it would come true My life I trade in for your pain
how much must I pray to reach the heaven?

now, morning glow reflects me and the ocean

don't look back, take flight! carry this thought, soar in that sky
no one can shoot down wishes

*

Everyday I listened to this song in the office. Now feels like vomitting to listen to it again *bleh* >.<

Not a First Mover

Recently addicted with X tv-series. Okay, I was outdated, it is a 2001-2002 anime series. I followed X and the rest of Clamp’s creations since I was on Junior High, so my era was already over. But after finding out the animes online and downloading them, now I was hooked once more!

I noticed a high resemblance between Kamui and Lelouch, not just the character design but also the personalities as well, afterall they are both Clamp’s twisted characters : lunatic, wicked, hideous, what’s more can we expect?

Suddenly my right hemisphere works hard to capture inspiration, then I draw and draw and draw (using conventional watercolour pencil since I have no scanner anymore). I concluded that my artistic ability isn’t as wretched as I thought. Now I am more passionate to join the art courses, yessh!

My 'Fusion of Lelouch and Kamui' *lol*

I am Blessed ^o^!

My Bro gave me Action Figure Code Geass : Lelouch of the Rebellion that I dreamt so much of! And luckily, it is my sassy Lelouch (and not bitchy Suzaku *giggles*). At first I told him that I was craving for the action figure since I fancied the series so much! And suddenly, he came in the gloomy Saturday and brought the tiny Lelouch to me, saying that it was my graduation gift.

Thanks, thanks very much, frankly speaking I really can’t afford to buy it (at least before receiving my first salary ;p). Even though people said that this acknowledgement sounds super crunchy and corny, I don't care since I really meant it =).

Bad thing is, shameless me is still owing him (belated) Birthday Gift =(. My sincerest apology then. I am really really sorry for being invigilant.

Thou shalt go and die, Suzaku-kun!

Anyway, there will be Season 2 of Code Geass *throwing confetti and eating cakes*. According to Otaku-sama’s speculation, it will be Code Geass : Suzaku of the Counterattack. Most probably, the story will take place with Suzaku as a center *vomiting blood*. I have had enough with the self-righteous character, and if it turns out resembling Gundam SeeD Destiny, perhaps I will bid an adieu to the series =(.

Spoiler Alert!
Cornelia is dead, Damn-Euphie is dead, Clovis is dead, but Orenjii-kun still makes an appearance. What a bad taste replacement!
