Letterblade

So I've been replaying FFX. (This is why I've been relatively absent from the interwebs; I basically work, whether on job or unpacking, come home, game, and go to sleep. Most of the way through this replay, so I might exist again soon. Couch slug!*) And I noticed a batch of shit I didn't the last two times.

(Seriously. This is part of why I LOVE THAT GAME. Every time through you notice more things that just add up into another layer of WRONG.)

( Mega-spoilers. Spoilers will affect your whole party for massive damage. )

The other, completely unrelated thing that I noticed this time through? So...much...Al Bhed...fetish gear. I mean, I'd noticed Rin's big honkin' bondage collar before, but hadn't really paid attention to Rikku's crotch strap in her jumpsuit early on, or the assorted gas masks. Kinda feeds into my vague theory of crazy Al Bhed orgies.

Though, in a way, that's carrying the this-world assumption into Spira that the religious establishment is going to be sexually conservative. Which, at least to a certain extent, is infeasible, because the religious establishment is going to want people to BREED LIKE RABBITS to keep up with Sin. No religious taboos on (hetero, reproducing) sex, no celibacy for officials or monks; hell, Auron was disgraced for NOT taking a wife. (Which feeds into my "he's so hard gay" theory, which only gets set aside for Auron/Lulu, because auronlu is a foul temptress.)

Anyway. Seymour is a messed, MESSED man, and the more I think about it, the more I wish they'd gone into it a little more.

* Cyn used to give me so much crap about doing this. But I think it's relatively normal obsessive gamer behavior. Right? Bueller?

Sometimes my Jack-muse notices when I'm down and tries to cheer me up.

Today, I was having a shit day. I mean, large amounts of it, from elephants. So what does the Jack-muse do?

Pop a few fandoms over to have hot tender kinky sex with this pretty blond thing that's been bouncing about my head recently. (Who also, come to think of it, is not wearing his earrings in this render. Odd.)

Mmmmm. He even threatened (threatened? is this a threat?) to drag Daniel Jackson into it, should my bad mood persist.

Now there be porn in my head.

(And let's not even go into the conversation Cyn and I had when one of us misheard something the other was saying as "sphere grid bondage.")

Ahem. Now I go to bed soon, not stay up all night trying to break all my characters' HP limits. <---DOOOOOOOORK

Labyrinth participation canceled at last moment. So not going into it.

The upside of this is that I might actually be human again soon.

In the meantime, have (if you so want) random FFX femmeslash.

(For some reason, this time around with the FFX fandom squee, it has been all femmeslash and het. Feeling the Auron/Lulu love, and let's not even get into the multiple rarefemmeslash pairings I've been pelted with. WTF, fandom squee?)

Sending, for lack of a better name: Yuna/Yunalesca, Yuna/Tidus, spoilers for X and X-2, PG at the most.

( (fiiiiic) )

...slapdash craptastic version of a bumper sticker I suddenly REALLY WANT.

For heavenscalyx, who requested Yuna/Lulu post-game comfort. (Or rather, gave me two alternatives, and I may still write the other, as it would give me an opportunity to play with my favorite odd girl couple in Esca. Out of curiosity though, have you seen through the end of that? I forget whether you bailed out when you got annoyed by it.)

All gratuitous Auron/Lulu references are again courtesy of auronlu and the letter S. ;)

( Hard R for girlsex, spoilers for the ending of X. )

Yeah, I know, they're going very slowly. This one for bard_linn, who requested Auron and Tidus, grumpy uncle-ness, and ironic comments about the meaning of life. I may have failed in the last. On the other paw, it grew a bit, and spawned a title. (?!)

( Land of the Living: FFX, PG, angst, MONDO spoilers through to Zanarkand. )

yunatwilight started it...

( Hypothetically this is a Snakes on a Plane spoiler... )

And, yes, I both finished FFX and saw Teh Snakes (opening night, in downtown Boston). More later, at least on the former. Everything that can be said about the latter probably already has been, and within the past 24 hours at that.
