BLARGHY. *pocket-sized rant*

WAUGH WHY AM I OUT OF CREAM?

 

Easy enough day at work: we all got done nice and fast. Only problem is that it is, in fact, 102°F outside. So regardless of the ease of the workday, the heat has rendered me mushy and useless. A cup of tea and a nap will fix that. Then I get to clean.


Which means I get to buy a new broom—the current broom is sort of, what’s the word? IN SEVERAL PIECES—and cleaning solutions, and scrub brushes, and trash bags, and cleaning implements…the impending “Uniform Condition” inspection has me a little nervous. I’ve accumulated an impressive amount of CRAP since last year and then there’s the fact that I’ve just been lazy about some things lately. The cleaning won’t be to my satisfaction until about Friday, and that’s if I spend two hours a day working on it until then.


It also means that there will not be time to cook Fancy Things™ this week. Unfortunate!


Oh well. I’d best SIT MY ASS DOWN IN THIS CHAIR AND DRINK MY GODDAMN TEA so I can have my nap. I have to be ready to throw down on this floor.


and the dishes…


and the walls…


and the stove…


Why did I decide to get my own place again?

WOOOOOOOOOW!

*Stands up and claps enthusiastically*

That was awesome!

I mean, yikes! I absolutely adore the mindscrew here! And this take on Kefka! It's as if he's still ALMOST there, but he's ever so slowly beginning to completely unhinge—and why do I get the feeling that it's even worse this time around?

And Kuja's such a Magnificent Bastard there! To think that he's just screwing with Kefka's head now!

AND JECHT! I wanna keep him can I can I can I?

*deep bow*

I really want to write fully unhinged Kefka... I mean he's already rather unstable but to utterly decimate what's left of his sanity... I would be like the child in the proverbial sweetshop. I have plans for him... Involving manikins... And sock-puppets...

This is why you need to play FFIX. Dissidia!Kuja never truly gets to be a magnificent bastard (you get a slight hint of it here and there in report 01) but in FFIX he could've rivaled Mateus. True he's emotionally weaker than his 'allies' but he's a very smart guy who knows how to play people. And even though this is reformed Kuja I knew he'd never forgive Kefka for what he did to him in report 01 so he'd bring back some of the poisonous bastardry he used to do to teach that clown a lesson.

Of course you can. What are your plans for him in the RP anyway?

THIS IS WHY IT NEEDS TO COOL OFF ENOUGH FOR ME TO WALK TO GAMESTOP!

*Points to 102°F temperature reading*

The only thing stopping me right now. It's so darn hot that if I were to try to run this before the Excessive Heat Warning is dismissed, I'd need to call help. I'd rather not have to be carried back because of heat exhaustion. Again.

And alas, I don't know what the plans are! He's been sadly shunted off to the side for the majority of the time. Which is bad because I firmly believe that Everything Needs More Jecht.

That sucks.

As someone who cannot stand temperatures worse than 23°C you have my every sympathy. Fortunately it's very mild over here.

When you eventually get access to FFIX!Kuja you will understand exactly why I keep on squawking about how much of a magnificent bastard he was. Even when he's being obviously evil he manages to play people.

All I see so far is that Jecht is Kuja's wingman. Or decides to be because he's bored.

PFFT WINGMAN!

[identity profile] railenthe.livejournal.com 2011-08-02 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
*mumble mutter* stupid weather, hot and junk and *mumble mutter*

I'm liking the idea of him as wingman WAY too much right now. I mean, it works so well: you know he had to be a super draw for the ladies, and I seriously doubt that having a kid would make him stop with the flirting.

[identity profile] toffeethesnob.livejournal.com 2011-08-02 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
He would probably be trying to get Golbez to perk up and find a lady for him too! Besides, his wife is no more, he's a little lonely himself. Sadly I don't think he'll be successful given how most of the ladies are already paired up...

[identity profile] railenthe.livejournal.com 2011-08-02 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
That would make things difficult, wouldn't it?

The thought of him setting up Golbez is fairly amusing, though—I mean, who's even his type?

And d'aww. EVEN REAL MEN NEED LOVE!

[identity profile] toffeethesnob.livejournal.com 2011-08-03 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
He'd probably also try it with Gabranth. And GILGAMESH. I can see him trying to get Cosmos and Golbez together, personally.

[identity profile] railenthe.livejournal.com 2011-08-03 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Suddenly I really want matchmaker!Jecht. And I would LOVE to see him attempt to fix up Gilgamesh:

Jecht: *circles Gilgamesh, occasionally going "Hmm" or "Uh-huh," and nodding* Ya know, there could be a benefit to this situation here.

Gilgamesh: *All arms crossed* Huh?

Jecht: You know how to use all them hands, right?
~~~
With Gabranth he'd have his work cut out for him. Then again broody blondes tend to be teh popularz. Too bad I see him as being very "DO NOT WANT" when it comes to being fixed up. Never mind the mental image I just had of him carrying Prishe on his shoulders while she holds one of his swords in a "CHARGE!" gesture

Golbez and Cosmos, eh? Now that I think about it they DO kind of slant that at us, don't they?

[identity profile] toffeethesnob.livejournal.com 2011-08-03 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Matchmaker!Jecht is strangely intriguing, no? Though of course unlike Laguna's failed attempts to set Terra up (Zidane, Squall and Bartz were the ones I assumed he'd try her with) Jecht is at least observant of both sides feelings and figures what will and will not work. Hence why he makes that remark to Kuja in the above piece - he's supporting a romance not a manipulative attack.

Mmm hmm. And somehow I can see it working...

[identity profile] railenthe.livejournal.com 2011-08-03 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Of course this gives me the impression that Sir Jecht does in fact know the first thing about romance, which is on the one hand very 'WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN' but on the other hand, it makes absolute perfect sense. It's surprising though.

…am I wrong in thinking that someone needs to call him out on that?

I think Kujerra is probably the one Jecht interferes with most. But Golmos and Gabrishe probably also rank high on his list. He's really a closet romantic.

The reason I nominate Kujerra for being his main ship is because I'm biased because I can imagine Jecht developing a soft spot for Terra, similar to how he's very protective of Yuna.

I have no clue what his reaction to Tidus/CoD/Exdeath would be.

Jecht could not ship those two harder. XD He's almost a cheerleader for them I bet.

Golmos:

Jecht: "Hey, sacrilege can be fun!"

Tidus/CoD/Exdeath?

Jecht: I'm gonna aVOID that one altogether. Snakes and trees are a little much for me.

Gabrishe?

Jecht: One's all class, one's no class! They're perfect for each other!

Gabranth: The hell, you say!
Prishe: The hell?!

Jecht: See?

Pfffttt! I now have this idea of Jecht calling Kuja "Loverboy" to tease him. And Kuja being absoloutely apalled by this. Terra thinks it's cute.

Golmos doesn't get quite as much teasing but Jecht has to give Golbez a push to make his move all the same. He knows that Golbez thinks too much about how he's not good enough for the light but dammit, he's gotta stop being such a stiff!

LATE REPLY IS LATE BECAUSE OF ERRANDS THAT FAILED ANYWAY

…I'm liking that idea so much I have half a mind to include it in the Jechtja pastry-taunting. Especially since I've decided to go down the "LOL KUJA'S TOTALLY A VIRGIN" route

Golbez would need all the pushing he could get.

[identity profile] toffeethesnob.livejournal.com 2011-08-03 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Kuja was definetly a virgin before Dissidia in my head canon. By all means be my guest! :D

Jecht's got his work cut out trying to pair all these guys up!

Jecht: Go on, whatsa matter? Compliment her!
Golbez: What use would shallow praise be in assuring her of the sincercerity of my affections?
Jecht: Aaargh, don't say it like that! Women like being told they've got nice qualities. Makes 'em feel appreciated.
Golbez: I...cannot do this. *exits*
Jecht: Hey come back here!
(Jecht growls in annoyance as he realises that Golbez is not coming back)
Jecht: Tch, you're missing out on something great, ya know? Idiot...
(He spies Kuja nearby, writing a letter)
Jecht: Hmm? Hey loverboy, how'd it go last night!?
Kuja: *ends up scrawling his quill down the page in horror*
Kuja: ...None of your business.
Jecht: That good, huh?
