Kotetsu and Barnaby as Madoka and Homura. Can't argue with the casting.

Here, Merc, something relevant to your interests: Yuri cosplaying as Ace Attorney characters, I think! Also Alucard? I think it's meant to be both.

And under the cut, videos, because apparently Nico Nico Douga cannot get enough of the Tiger & Bunny/Vocaloid mashups anymore than I can.

Weighing whether or not to take part in the game remix challenge. On the one hand, I was always kind of envious of Western fandoms for having them. On the other, since my shipping is often diametrically opposed to the whole fandom, I fear sparking the "she is DOIN IT WRONG" reaction in whoever gets assigned to remix me.

On my third hand, I'm not sure I can find the link again so it may be a moot point.

And in "Luck is my husband's dump stat" news, we think he may be lactose intolerant! I realize this may not seem like a huge deal, but if that's the case, you don't love cheese as much as we do.

The High Holidays mean terrifying gatherings with my in-laws! Nonetheless, I hope everyone has a good New Year. For my part, I lean more towards honey than apples.

I seem to be on a magical-girl kick. I hauled Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne out for a reread, I'm attempting to watch Pretty Cure on Hulu (though I'm pretty sure I will reach mascot-killin' levels of frustration shortly, so I doubt this attempt will get far) and I'm ordering the Kodansha Sailor Moon release as it comes out. I decided on volume one of A Bride's Story in preference to Sailor V, though, because KAORU MORI.

And in another edition of When Fandoms Collide: VIDEOS. Beneath the cut.

( Madoka Magica and Vocaloid would be the fandoms in question. )

I hope this works.

I spent a lot of time on Pixiv today for some reason.  Behold what the internets have given me:

Kyubey as Kefka.

A match made in flamboyant, heavily-made-up heaven. Thank you, Dissidia, for enabling a whole new universe of crack pairings.

For some reason, a Spice & Wolf/FFX crossover. I don't even know. Voice actress link or something?

FF characters cosplaying as Vocaloids.

To continue the theme, Aria di Mezzo Carattere sung by a Vocaloid (Meiko, in this case.) She doesn't sound like an opera singer, but Celes shouldn't, either. 

All of this (except for the Youtube link, which I've had for a while) began just because I went looking for this image, my current wallpaper, to make sure I bookmarked the link. Instead I realized I could navigate bookmarking on Pixiv pretty easily and went on a bit of a rampage.  I'll probably post the less brain-breaky fruits of my search tomorrow.
