Jul. 19th, 2006 09:30 pm*laughs* I'm reading
ichi_san's french translation of this chapter, and so far, she's mentioned at least three times that it's a "très belle image". ^_^ I agree wholeheartedly, though, so mustn't tease too much. (*makes note to look up tease in French* se moquer de has a "too mean" feeling in my head... se plaisanter? *ponders*)
[edit: taquiner. *pleased*] Alors, ‹‹ je ne la taquine pas trop, car je suis complètement d'accord. ››
From the start, Kagura's image has made me sad. I've said in a couple of comments that I was never able to warm up to her, since she's barely been present since she stopped chasing after Kyo, and I could finally stop twitching. I figured out why. She's alone among strangers when it happens. Worse than being alone (like Hatori & Shigure), I think. *pets*

Je maintiens : pour moi, sur le plan graphique, Takaya n'a jamais rien dessiné de plus beau que ce chapitre. *___*
Yeah, to tease is "taquiner". Less formal and more everyday talk would be "charrier", though.
Oh, and for that sentence I didn't get... ARIGATO NE !!!! Thank God you were here. Tonight when I get home, I'll add a little comment especially for ya on the #130 translation page (I was too sleepy yesterday night to think about it). *hugs*

I also felt sorry for Kagura; I've never been overly concerned with her, but I've always thought that she is a rather lonely person. Hatori broke my heart, and Shigure ... well, I'm not quite sure what to make of him, as always, but I don't think he's happy yet. And Akito is just killing me. ;_; I hope she gets some happiness soon.
I've been focusing on the negative! I was extremely happy and touched by Ayame's reaction, as well as that of almost everyone else. I think Ayame seems happier than any of them, except perhaps Kyou; there doesn't seem to be that joy tinged with sadness and loss that the others have.

Oh. Aya & Mine. *wibble* I recently re-read the entire series and discovered this new love for Aya. On first reading, I felt much the same way about him that Yuki & Kyo did. But now, oh yes, I like him. He's not a new favourite, those are Hatori, Kyo & Kazuma. But I do like him.

Date: 2006-07-27 05:24 pm (UTC)Indeed, Kagura is one of those characters that is generally replicated across fandoms. Or, at least, it seemed that way initially. I don't tend to appreciate the girls that chase after guys and beat them up for reasons that are illogical to normal people. But -- her characterization steadily became more sad, to the point of making me uncomfortable. Maybe I felt guilty for never liking her, but I still haven't formed much of a fondness for her.
I wanted to tell you that I had my Ayame outfit taken in a little bit and that I'll be putting up pictures soon. You mentioned that you are making yours, and so I asked my seamstress (who took it in) what kinds of thread go well with that silk. Apparently, the arms were coming undone. =/ She said the commercialized sewing machines don't do well with that kind of material. Of course, I'm not familiar with any type of sewing machine, but I was lucky that I didn't try to wear it in the shape it was in when I got it. o_O
Ano... do you mind if I friend you? Take care. :)
