Calling all picture hoarders...

[andrew_in_drag]

Tentative plans for my upcoming Gazefic have been drawn up! 

At the moment it's called Mysterious Skin, and it's Kai/Uruha, which I think is quite an uncommon pairing. My character sketches also seem to be kinda unconventional, so I'm kind of intrigued to see how that will go down. 

So once again I call upon you, my lovely ladies...

Any old Gazette pics? Specifically of those two. Pre-band would be great, but early band would be really helpful as well. It's not so so so essential, because I already have some ideas of how I'm going to 'design' these lads, but since I'm new to this, maybe it'd be helpful to have some sense of things progressing in a canonical fashion...

Anyway, currently working on redoing my archive (chapter links for Superstar and The Glasshouse are up already, yay!) and writing Chapter 23 of Superstar...the ending is starting to come together, I think! Goody goody goody.

Actually KaixUruha is fairly common, it seems to be the pairing du jour these days and there is a lot of it (but not really my thing ^^;;).

A lot of new, very vocal, fans seem to be writing that pairing in particular, so you will get more fans (which you deserve) when you write it ^^ lol whether you want to or not!

Is your email still the same? I will raid my archives and send to you. I have a lot of Uruha, but not really of Kai. They recently released an archive book to celebrate their 10 years, so it shouldn't be so hard to find some old shots of theirs.

Yeah girl, my email's the same! Thanks so much; I know you're really busy!
Kai/Uruha feels like a kinda weird pairing, actually, but I think that's good. Hopefully it'll make me devise a new kind of dynamic.

*thinks* Actually for Gazette, all of their pairings seem to work on certain kinds of dynamic. It actually depends on the dynamic you are looking for. Its one of those bands where most pairings kind of fit no matter what your bent so to speak, because they all have different relationships with each other.

On stage wise for example, a lot of the fanservice (these days) is Ruki and Uruha. A lot of touching and molesting in general.

In terms of bro dynamics, Ruki and Reita work, they also do fanservice, they are very chummy with each other outside of the stage (there was this one picture Ruki took of Reita's ass and tweeted it....seriously).

Reita and Kai do a solo segment together and are also very chummy (I also think they look damn cute together). Uruha also tends to go up to Kai's drums as well.

Aoi also has his moments with Reita (although in terms of unusual pairings, that one is the MOST unusual and v rare). Aoi also has his moments with Ruki (quite romantic looking ones too), along with Kai. Once Aoi ran across the stage and gave Kai a hug.

Although most of the time Aoi is pretty much grinding his hips and putting on a show (solo fanservice lol) . He and Uruha tend to do a lot of opposites, so they will wear matching clothing in opposite orientations (like Aoi will wear black pants and white shirt and Uruha will wear white shirt and black pants), they also give each other looks, play with each others guitars, also try to kiss each other.

Uruha and Reita are old old friends so there is that history there.

I have gone on again, sorry *sheepish* I have just gone to see them live far too many times.

Anyways don't thank me yet! Need to go search first. And I am only busy now mostly because I have my Japanese exam in 2 weeks *makes face* after that I should be okay
