The Happy Princess (Love-lies-in-tragedy Remix) [Death Note, Rem, Misa, G]

“Once upon a time, there was a death god who religiously watched over a human princess—”

“The princess is a symbol. She is indispensable to him (And to me). He loves her (I love you, Misa).”

“He died for her (As I would die for you). That’s why his notebook belongs to her (Do you want to do this? Throw half your life away in exchange for dead eyes).”

“He (I) would have wanted her to live a happy life (Not a half life, never a half life).”

Story ended: Rem died years ago.

“I wouldn’t lie to you.”



Remix of [info - livejournal.com] lye_tea 's Fairytale Floss for [info - livejournal.com] remixthedrabble. I like how this one turned out; I basically lifted phrases from the original and changed the context. The original phrases refer to Light/Misa, Misa & Ryuuk etc., but I turned it around, changed the speaker and the story =3

This is...sort of technically pre-femmeslash, I guess?
In Death Note, after the epic Kira/L awesomeness, the OMGSoObvious pairing is Rem/Misa.

Super-quick explanation about the Death Note drabble: Spoilery, duh. )

Just got my [info - livejournal.com] remixthedrabble assignment (Four remixes, here I come!). So am finally getting around to x-posting some drabbles. And updating my fic masterlist...the next few days.

And hi, I'm back. *waves*

Bento = ♥

ETA 5:50 p.m.: Didn't realize Lunch in a Box has a Bento of the month contest. Will have to check the forum from time to time. This might push me into using my bento supplies =P Didn't realize how effective competition is for me, heh.



I've been reading this funny shoujo manga called Otomen (a play on the words "otome" (maiden / young lady) and "men"), and this bento scene = <3
♥ alligator sausages
♥ little chickie quail eggs
◆ round onigiri + goma (sesame seed) + ume (sour plum)
♥ tofu money bags
◆ cabbage rolls + flower food pick
♥ thin renkon (lotus root) & cucumber (?) slices
◆ broccoli floret filler + a bed of shredded cabbage (?)

♥ apple rabbits
◆ strawberries



✔ Participated in Life Without Plastic metal bento box giveaway on Adventures in Bentomaking (March 31st deadline)

Considering how many times I drop my water bottle on my toes, changing it into steel =/= good idea =P
I’ve stopped using plastic silverware. I pledge to phase out my plastic spatula, cooking utensils etc. and replace them with bamboo =)
Gotta check the price next time I pass by That Kitchen Shop.

✔ Participated in [info]jewelmaker's bento bag & belt giveaway (March 31st deadline)

✔ Participated in [info]ss_biggie's Kids Konserve metal lunch kit giveaway (deadline: Thursday, April 2)

Problem with metal boxes? You can't microwave them* =/
Chinese people use metal lunch canisters because you can then put them directly on the stove to make the food piping hot. Whereas here in the U.S. it's more likely that your workplace provides you with a microwave instead of a stove =P

*Granted you're not supposed to microwave your plastic bento boxes either so that they last longer...But people do it anyway =P

My imaginary meal, let me show you it. )

Fandom content tomorrow, mmmkay?

Links of cute & Bento stuff

(Or, sometimes material goods can purchase happiness.)

Teh cute:

:♥: Hammie chorus *_*
:♥: The Mostly Unconscious Adventures of Bug the Rat
:♥: White Ferret \o/
:♥: Vegetable love (the non-pervy kind)
Isn't it great that I have to specify vegetable love as "non-pervy"?
Haha
:♥: Random: Shuriken magnets



I felt like a traitor shopping at the Evil Disney Empire (TM), but they have a 3 for $10 sale for their meal ware and I can't resist. (Regular price = $5.50 each)

Yesterday I bought:
✔ a green fairies bento (for myself)
✔ a red princess bento (either for my friend's daughter or my niece)
(Both can be seen here)
✔ a red Mickey, Donald, Goofy bento (for River when he's big enough)
✔ a Minnie-Pluto-Mickey-Donald fork & spoon set
✔ an EVE bowl
✔ a WALL-E and EVE fork & spoon set

If they've made a WALL-E bento box it would've been so appropriate *_*

Bentos that I love but can't justify buying for as long as there are Daiso and Ichiban-Kan around:
:♥: Japan + Russian nesting dolls = AWESOME
:♥: With matching bag and chopsticks.
:♥: I love the wolf in this Red Riding Hood bento.

MOAR why-so-expensive stuff:
* Condiment drawing pencils. Cut a corner of a Ziploc bag? Not as environmentally-friendly, I suppose.
* How to use chopsticks game. Erm, I can always use real dried beans?
