Same! But I've decided it just depends on what point in time you're talking about. Anywhere before Nunnally's 'death', I hate him, except for when he's vulnerable (the time he tried to kiss Kallen). After that, I like him, because he told Kallen to live on to protect her, after pushing her away. (such a sweet LelouchxKallen moment! :3 Loved it!) I always liked Suzaku because he's just that cool. And please watch the AMV, Chelsea, please? I spent so long on it... Just give me an opinion that involves only the quality of the video. :V

Thanks! I would have drawn cracks, but I have no idea how...

He is kawaii. And totally kakkoi! (cool!) Suzaku is the greatest!!!!

I finished my AMV! Please watch! (because I want to know how I did! I spent... ... ... at least six, seven hours on it. iTouchs are hard to edit videos with. )

It's actually the same nose I used for Suzaku, flipped. :3 Because i kept on failing at drawing a new one. XD

You mean the background? That's a thought elevator. That's kind of what the design looks like. (except I fail at backgrounds, so... :V)

i can't do that. i can only select a border to stay there for the entire thing, unfortunately.

What do you mean 'change the frame?' (is clueless) For the fading, that was the only decent transition my iPod had to offer. I'm glad you like it!

Thanks everyone! @Cure-kun: It's the magic of vector masks, the pen tool, and filters. And the 'fade' option for Brush Shape Dynamics. In other words, photoshop. But the file is huge. This drawing is half a gig in size.

This debate is getting good! It's time for me to get serious! (or at least as serious as I can at 12:11AM!) Your argument is that even though Shinichi and Ran share the same morals, their interests differ too greatly for them to be together happily. I think otherwise. Morals dictate what you believe in, and essentially how you'll live your life. If they share the same morals, they share the same wavelength, and are more likely to understand each other in times of crisis. (when these crisis' don't happen to involve the complexity of teenage emotions- nobody understands those.) As far as backgrounds go, I don't think how you're raised has that much effect on your love life. I'm raised in a strict household that requires the best academic standards and participation in academic events, and I could fall in love with someone who grew up in a casual family that puts emphasis on sports. I'm not saying it wouldn't affect the relationship at all, but backgrounds don't really have as much as an effect as morals do. And interests... Yes, that deciding factor. *sigh* Let me put it this way. Shinichi and Ran wouldn't be best friends (for like what, 10+ years?) if they didn't have some common interests, whether they've been revealed or not. I'm just pointing that out. One interest I know they share for sure is an interest in each other- and that alone counts for a ton. To be that interested in another person means you listen to them, you know and want to learn things about them, and etc. etc. Asking questions about each other's interests and learning about the other person and becoming interested in their life makes up for all those lost interests. As for 'truly loving' something as you define it... For one, centering your life around a person and always putting them first is a very unhealthy lifestyle as it makes you unstable and ruins the rest of your life as well. And secondly, truly loving someone doesn't mean you're not allowed to pursue your passions and put them second for a little bit as well. Shinichi puts his cases above the importance of a date. I'd put my math and science competitions above a date too, and I wouldn't be dating a guy who didn't understand they are important to me, The fact that he tries to resist shows he cares, the fact that Ran tells him to go shows she cares as well. If you don't call it 'love', then let's at least call it 'mutual attraction.' Chasing after Vodka and 'abandoning' Ran isn't as big a deal as everyone makes it sound! It's a case of 'curiosity killed the cat.' Shinichi is a detective. When he sees weird things, (especially if these weird things are suspicious) his natural instinct is to go investigate. If Vodka was just trying to find a friend that got seriously lost on the way back from the bathroom and Shinichi helped him, we wouldn't say he 'abandoned' Ran, would we? The thing that leads people into that way of thinking is the consequence of his actions, being shrunk into itsy bitsty Conan. Just imagine he made a mistake. Does it look so bad then? And if it does, are you trying to say you're not allowed to leave the side of a person you love because you want to check something out? What if you were at a museum and you wanted to see two different exhibits, and didn't want to see the other? Is it a betrayal of love if you don't go with each other for ten minutes? The final result just makes Shinichi a lot worse than he seems, okay? The part about marriage just made me crack up... Shinichi would investigate what he wants and still be able to spend time with Ran. No couples are together even close to 24/7 simply because of the hindrance of jobs and personal affairs. You're allowed to have a life outside of marriage. And Shinichi does not just go randomly around Tokyo looking for crimes to solve (crimes find him. ) so it wouldn't be like he'd never have spare time. If he ended up working for the police, he'd work police hours, if he was going to open his own agency, he'd work Mouri's hours. (with less beer, cigarettes, and Yoko.) That's my side to this. :3 Now I'd better get some sleep before I'm just a walking zombie tomorrow. See ya!

It took me more than two weeks for my newest drawing... ... ... Because I'm bad at first drafts (and second drafts, and third drafts, and yeah, you get the point) and coloring on a computer takes forever. It really wears at your patience. I'll put my wish list up: -A ShinRan pic or fic (don't really care what it is as long as it fits the pairing.) - If you're totally against ShinRan, draw me Saguru with Akako or Kaito, or write me a fic where Saguru ends up with one of them (no preference- they're both cute.). And that's it. Not much else. XD

I have finished my SuzakuxEuphy AMV! (happy dance!) I made this using Splice, which is a free app for the iTouch (yes, I made it using the iTouch. Computers appear to hate me when I try and use them for video editing. ) This is my first AMV (so don't be too harsh!), so leave helpful comments for me to follow! Oh, and the lack of effects would be because the app doesn't have any effects, end of story. No app does yet, apparently... Anyways, here it is! ;D

SuzakuxEuphy is awesome!!!! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD And bring it on! I might stop reading if I get swerved off-track, but I'll try anyways!

... ... *thinks* Do I really want to read Lelouch's feelings on that? It might make me stop hating the person he was in R1.... *mulls* *shrugs* That wasn't the exact reason I hated him, so I can read it and not have my views tarnished! Bring it on, Pyre!

But... Then we'd need to know who we're preparing the gift for. I mean... What if I accidentally drew ShinRan for a ConAi or something? When are we going to find out who we're being Santa for? (because you'd probably want to tell me now, before my procrastination instincts kick in.)

I could do fanart or a fanfiction. But give me more than two weeks. Fanart takes a long time to do. The idea, the sketch, transferring it to the computer, outlining, coloring, etc. etc. Fanfiction takes just as long, even if it's a one-shot.

I will use your logic to counter HeiKazu as a pairing. Heiji runs off when Kazuha says she has something extremely important to tell him... Yup, he doesn't love her. Story over. As far as ShinRan goes... Shinichi at least believes he loves Ran, and as long as he believes in that, he'll think he's in love, so if he thinks he's in love, as far as he consciously knows, he's in love with her, right? (confusing sentence! I will counter logic with... random, confusing sentences. ) So basically... that essentially means he's in love with her because you technically only act of what you're conscious of, and I think Shinichi probably loves his cases more than any woman that will ever come his way, just saying.

Obviously not. Do you see me chasing after rabbits? No. Honestly, I didn't think anyone could be that stupid. (first thing I thought of when I saw the topic title: The manga, 'Are you Alice?')

I was trying to figure it out... With a filter. I'm not too good with it (and I drew them separately to make it less complicated for myself) I still have the file so I'll be able to edit as a I please. It's just... so difficult.

I'm going to creep away now... And wave my ShinRan banner on the way. *waves feebily*
