Sheng Fui (and new icon post)

I just wanted cumuluscastle to see where her painting is now. It's under UV-shielded glass, just to make sure, although the room only gets indirect and tree-filtered sunlight.  

There is a distinct lack of cat on the perch, simply because I broke out the camera. Imagine a cat.
Aha. Behold a cat. Within scritch range when mousing. (If image is broken, it's here. What gives,DW?)




P.S. Why is FFXIII so painfully flawed yet excellent in parts? It reminds me of X-2; a curate's egg. Which is unsurprising, as they came up with XIII while working on X-2. 

I finally finished. Without spoilers, I will say that (a) Fang/Vanille pretty much makes up for any of the game's shortcomings for me (CANON! PLOT-ESSENTIAL F/F CANON!), and (b) it's a shame Vanille's voice was the one "miss" on the English dub. Her seiyu is better. But Fang's ...wow. 

Note: Please no late-FFXIII spoilers in replies; at least one person reading this hasn't finished.

A lot of what didn't work for me in FFXIII came down to a flaw that really had no fix. I loved all the main characters, but there was nothing to the world itself that seemed alive. But so much of the sympathy for the main characters and their dilemma depends somewhat on not caring about the world, meaning that better world building would have ruined the story in another way.

But on the other hand, canon f/f, so much more wonderful non-canon f/f potential to play around with, and I actually found all the male characters appealing too, but just too much blank world.
