You know, I managed to hold it all together during that awful episode where Keisei dies but then. But then Ouri walks into the kitchen and finds the big pot of stew he made and I totally lost it! I mean, I was sadfacing all over the place but it was the pot with his stupid note that broke me.

[beckerbell]

That was what really got me, too. The whole episode was sad, Makina's reactions were heartbreaking and that really wore me down. But that stupid pot on the table, the reminder of the kind things that Keisei did, all the kind things he couldn't do anymore, that's when the show really got me. ;___;

[anenko]

Makina smiling for Keisei broke my heart.

One of the things that really stuck with me from episode 13 is the shot of all the Shikabane Hime who aren't allowed into the temple. It really drove home the point that they're just *things* to the organization as a whole, and no matter how much they may care for their contracted priests, their grief will never *matter.*

[beckerbell]

While his deth is probably going to bring a lot of really wrenchingly good storyline, I'm going to sadface forever at his death, especially because Makina cared about him so much. Cared enough to put her own feelings aside in that moment and smile for him because it was the right thing to do. I really wish we could have gotten more on their relationship.

That shot of all the Shikabane Hime waiting outside, because they weren't let in, really did drive that home, the way the Kougon-shuu treated them and that they're dead, that they're Corpses who can't be allowed into something holy. I love that the show itself shows that their grief matters, but yeah it's kind of telling the way the Kougon-shuu treats them. (And I really want to know what it is that Akasha knows!)

Oh my god, that Sour Apple tree is the hardest tree to get! After weeks of trying, I finally got one and that was from a week ago, still nothing since. And no seedlings from it!

The rainbow trees are awesome though but every time I get one, I'm reminded of how I still only have one Sour Apple... ><

I think you can only buy the Cotton Candy tree... Or exchange your Facebook credits right now for one. And you don't know how pissed off I am... All of a sudden, FB is like, your credits are going to expire soon! So I exchange them the day they're supposed to expire. And now it's a month later and the leftover credits still haven't expired! I could have waited and gotten the Cotton Candy tree as a free gift! Not cool.

[beckerbell]

I'm a little "....." that there's a regular sour apple tree and a giant sour apple tree (I got a giant sour apple tree, my mistake) and a rainbow tree (both regular and giant, I think? I only have the giant one, which makes me wonder if they're easier to get?) and the cotton candy tree. Not that I'm complaining about more variety (I would like more variety with the horses, too, Zynga!) but it feels like a lot to keep up with. And I'm really frustrated with the limit to gifts you can pick up--you need EIGHT watering cans for every seedling? When you have 50+ seedlings to get through, THAT IS A LOT OF WATERING CANS. And I think you should be able to, say, have an orchard with only a certain type of tree produce a seedling for that type when you share it with your friends, rather than it being completely random! (At least that's the way I've heard it works

[sherryillk]

Oh, I meant Giant Sour Apple too -- I don't think it's possible to get a regular sized one from a seedling anymore. And I haven't seen the regular Rainbow tree from a seedling either. I think most of the level ones, if they weren't released at the same time as their level twos, are only available through the Market.

And yeah, I try to keep only about 30 seedlings around each day since I know I won't have enough watering cans to grown them all up, even if I grab the bulk of my 200 gifts as watering cans.

You're right about it completely being random, but if that wasn't so, then there wouldn't be randomly new trees popping up! And I love those! I just get rid of all my own seedlings (if I'm not trying to grow something up, which I'm generally not) and just grow other people's.

As far as I know, you only get credits by leveling up (up to level 100) and by those quizzes. I pounce on them as soon as I can because they can disappear pretty quickly...

[beckerbell]

I'm not sure if I like the giant ones or if I'd have preferred the regular ones (though, if nothing else, the giant ones are more expensive in the market, I guess....) but it is a little :/ to not be able to catch some of the really cute trees going around. And JFC WOULD IT KILL ZYNGA (and my neighbors, I guess) TO LET ME HAVE A FREAKING CHINESE LANTERN TREE? I WANT ONE, PLEASE??

I'm so torn! On the one hand, I have a really good collection of trees, so I probably have a really good collection of seedlings! But I won't get any new ones that way! Yet most of my neighbors only have the kinds of trees that I have a ton of already! And, basically, if it's not some color other than green, I don't need it. (Unless it's new and shiny, like the sour apple tree.) I want color

I was okay with Mamoru but he didn't really concern me as much as my obsession with the Outer Senshi and Mercury until I read this one amazing AU featuring him teaming up with the senshi before they found Moon and his relationship with Usagi and - ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Now I love him to itty bitty pieces, especially cause of his sweet relationship toward Ami and her awesomeness [in the fic]. ♥
I just love Ami. K.
I'm done.
(THAT WAS WHY I WATCHED PGSM CAUSE SHE GOT BRAINWASHED AND TURNED PSYCHO AND BADASS AND IT WAS AWESOME AND OKAY, SERIOUSLY, DONE NOW.)

[beckerbell]

I totally don't blame people for not being that into Mamoru, especially with the way the anime wrote him. I'm not sure why he captured my attention so hard, just... that he really did. +__+

(AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT A FIC LIKE THAT, YOU REALLY SHOULD BE PROVIDING LINKS. *taps foot impatiently*)

Oh, man, I never quite finished PGSM (but I got probably 2/3rds of the way through it?) and I loved the Dark Mercury storyline! I LOVED THAT WHOLE SHOW FOREVER. I loved it ironically for the cheese factor, but I loved it without irony for the amazing interaction between the girls and how super hot they all were and omg the OTP--!!

That storyline was the only reason I even knew of the show, and then I checked out a few more and it was just so cute and dorky and stupid and I loved it X)
