Addiction Starts With D.A.

Um... so... I recently became addicted to Katekyo Hitman Reborn only after I saved a million deviations (ok, maybe not a million, but quite a lot of deviations) from various and extremely talented artists on DA to my faves folder.

I've been thinking about watching & reading the series for some time now, but I guess all the 69x27 & 80x59 doujinshi and artwork has finally got to me. (I think this happened once before... with Prince of Tennis, I mean. After all that Tezuka x Fuji doujinshi that I read, I kind of wounded up reading the manga and watching the anime). Yes... BL & slash usually motivates me to start new series.

I think the only hetero pairing I've taken any interest in -- for a while now -- is Suzaku x Euphemia from Code Geass. Other than that, BL pairings usually interest me more. Ok, nevermind that's a lie... I like Squall x Rinoa too, believe it or not -- but the part about BL pairings is true.

Anyway, I was going through all these KHR images by three or four artists and I was like ... KHR... KHR.... Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn? The drawings are amazing and it really piqued my interest in the series. I saw this one image with Mukuro in it and I fell in love right away. I was like ... ... I have to go read this series now! So... I'm now dling the anime and reading the manga like a person possessed.

I didn't even know any of these characters to begin with, but I was already a fan of Mukuro without knowing anything about him. I love Yamamoto and Hibari as well. *laugh* Let's face it, I love all the pretty boys ^_^;;; I especially like dangerous, pretty boys.

When I was looking at the DA images, I saw a lot of numbers like 27, 59, 69, 80, 18, etc. and was like ... ? Apparently these are abbreviations of character names -- which I found out later when I looked up Tsuna in wikipedia. So 27 is Tsuna, 2 as in "tsu" (like futatsu or maybe it's two in English?), and then 7 as "na" like "nana" so 27 = Tsuna. Then we have 59 for Gokudera, the 5 is "go" and the 9 is "ku." For 69, I'm not sure if it's supposed to be for Roku or Muku 'cause Rokudo Mukuro is both 69 -- ah well, whatever works (though I think it's Muku 'cause lots of people refer to him as Mukuro rather than Rokudo). For 80 we have Yamamoto, so it's 8 for "ya" and 0 for "ma" as in maru. I agonized over this one for a long time 'cause I couldn't think of any other phonetic "rei" could be. For 18, I'm assuming it's "Hiba" as in Hibari 'cause 1 is "hi'' and 8 = "ha" or "ba," I guess it can be ba. But... *squee* I love Hibari and Mukuro ^_^!!

So yeah... I'm addicted to KHR now ^_^;;; I'm also addicted to my tablet and drawing. Lately, drawing has been a lot more fun than I remembered it being ^_^
