Killing both would be excessive, I think. *knocks out inner-fangirl yelling about Angst and Cuddles* I admit I'm leaning toward killing Aya, for all losing Omi would be angstier, simply because of the 'Omi's easier to write' thing... besides which, I really like Omi, at least in Kapitel. He's such a sweetheart and I don't know if I can bring myself to kill him.

(And Omi was my first Weiss-Love back when I was eighteen, so...)

Gluhen... hm. Haven't actually seen it - the anime hasn't had an official release in the UK yet so I'm still going off my Kapitel fansubs - but I've heard it changes a lot, the plot sounds insane, Ken goes insane and the character designs look whacked. They're nice designs for the most part (ahemSchwarzahem), but they're not really right for the characters.

I know the official art piece you mean (yay, cats and pajamas). I've had that one lying round my hard drive for a while (Ken should probably not wear dark colors for preference; they make him look so slight it's scary) and it's cute. Thinking about it, I'm guessing the cats they're dealing with might be anime renditions of the breeds they're named after. I really think the cat Youji has draped round his neck might be a Balinese - they look rather like Siamese cats but their fur is longer. And most Abyssinians are red, and I think the cat staring out Aya is also red. So maybe that's it.

You're right, both would be disturbing? Hey, have you seen the official art which has the guys in towels and not much else? Love that, but I couldn't not love that.

That sounds like an interesting premise for a fic. The one you read, I mean. I'm curious as to that one. The sad thing about that fic and its companion is really, the Aya x Ken thing just doesn't quite work in the context it's put in and there's a lot of fan-Japanese in them. I hate fan-Japanese. Really. It's so annoying, because otherwise the fic's a well-written one. Good fiction shouldn't shoot itself in the foot like that because it's just too damned depressing. I mean a bad fic would have been bad regardless, but when a good fic can't quite pull off its pairing, it's sad. I think Ken ends out coming off as a bit of a doormat and though he's having a hellishly bad time in that fic, but I think he's got rather more spirit than he's been granted.

(I kind of get annoyed by Victimized!Ken fics sometimes, because he's slightly too beaten down. He's not angry enough about it and it seems wrong for him. It's a fine line on which we walk...)

Thanks for the luck! I appreciate it. I'm not exactly uninspired at the moment, but I'm having trouble settling to things. I'm having a 'who am I kidding I can actually write?' moment. Stupid of me... but I shall overcome!

Gluhen has different character designs, yeah. They killed Youji. And about killed Omi, but I suppose we'll live. Aya got off okay. Ken turned... disturbingly pretty, but he doesn't always seem the same kind of person, so it makes me twitch.

Otherwise, the series isn't that bad. It has its moments, anyway.

(And by the way, when I say "kill," I only mean they really screwed over the character designs. Erm. Not kill kill, yanno?)

I like angry Ken better, too. *heart* Because I think Ken's the toughest out of all of them-- he lives in the real world more than the others sometimes, if that makes sense, and with the exception of Omi he has the best grounded personality. He's just a guy. A guy who had bad things happen to him, but he's surviving. I appreciate that the most. ♥

... Ken love suddenly attacks! MUST READ MORE KEN ANGST. *frantically runs to Seuche*

(... am so pathetic.)
