Fic recs, cosplay pics, and goodies

[beck]

I'll get around to doing that book and pairing/character meme pretty soon, same goes with the comments & posts I need to respond to. I haven't been ignoring you peeps.

Onto the fic recs::

Gungrave

These were posted to gun_grave recently but I'll just go ahead and put the link to the actual fics. Both written by naga_battousai

Assumption. No pairings, just character views though alot of it seems to be from Brandon's thoughts. Also covers a bit from the aftermath of the Blood War battle.

Illusions. More Brandon's view, contemplating Harry's motive & friendship. Also love the way she wrote Bunji. Hell, just totally dig her writing period regarding grasping the characters as such.

I can't WAIT till she gets around to posting part 3.

Was checking out the cosplayers from Sakura Con (should've been dubbed as the FMA/Naruto con). Here are a few that caught my eye.

Devil May Cry *squees!*

Trish & Dante

Naruto

Sakura. For those that do or don't know, she's dressed as the Sakura from that pic of Team 7 in those funky outfits. I have the pic but don't feel like uploading it. So if anyone has a link to it, feel free to post it in the comments. Good job on the costume though I must say.

And since I'm mentioning Naruto, thanx to nightambre for posting an awesome art pic by PaintPixel *envies* Naruto girls. Talk about fucking hot!

And for the goodies, I found these last night and made post-haste on purchasing them. I saw that they also had a Shippou keychain but could only afford to get the two that I got. Plus these seem like the ones I saw of Trigun which I wouldn't mind having a Wolfwood later too.

Its.....CHIBI Brandon & Harry!!! (from Gungrave for those that didn't know)





I can't wait to get them in the mail so I can hug them, and squish them, and wuvwuvwuv them to death. I doubt I'll even take them out of the package or even use them. *lol* Now if only they would have them as chibi's on pins, I would so be ded!! (they need chibi Maria too if they are going to do that)

They must've had only one Brandon on hand to sell cause they had an extra Harry left. I can check back later to see if they put Brandon back up for sale.

Ya know, your birthday is coming up in like 2 and a half months (CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??!!!) so I can keep a few things in my notes as to what I can get for you ^__________^.

I nearly squealed when I saw the keychains, I wasn't expecting them to actually make any. They need to make a Bunji with a kitty, that would be SOOO CUTE!

If and when you get the chance, you should check out those Gungrave fics I have listed. I think you'll like them and her character development of everyone. I want to give Brandon a hug so much in both fics, I don't like seeing him so....so....sad/struggling with his thoughts of Harry and everything going on around him.
