Dressing up and Ukoku's brain

[louiselux]

puddingcat came to Reading yesterday to get fitted for her coat of many buttons, so in the afternoon I met up with her and her dressmaker friend Claire and landlady Laura. We hit up the John Lewis haberdashery and Fabricland and a couple of shoe shops and now I feel so enthused about dresses and fabric and shoes. I can't wait to see puddingcat's coat - she showed me the pattern and it's a sort of pirate frock coat with panels and huge cuffs.

I'm thinking of commissioning a dress from Claire too. I just have to decide on what I want: either something 60s style in a simple A-line/shift dress style, or a full skirted 50s style dress.

Also, when we were randomly chatting about stuff, puddingcat made a really interesting point about Nii - he's a sanzo monk, so can he really be so evil? Is he really going to suck Sanzo into his black hole of doom and destroy him, or is he just teaching Sanzo something, but doing it in a particularly nasty way? Maybe he is working to the greater good. Innnnnteresting.

puddingcat compared him to Kanzeon Bosatsu, who isn't exactly pleasant in the way she goes about things. She didn't have to let Goku be imprisoned in a cave for 500 years after all.

I like this idea, because it balances Ukoku's character somewhat. Also, I don't know if Koumyou was actually such a nice person. Discuss.

It makes sense to me that Ukoku would be pushing every button of Sanzo's he can, not only because it's funny, but also to see how much like Koumyou he is. Are you unattached, are you self-sacrificing, can you debate theology, are you physically strong, are you mentally strong...

And for fuck's sake, Team Brain Trust, now would be a great time for you to come flying to the rescue!

And the most important question of all! THIS FUNDOSHI RUMOUR, DISPELL IT FOR ME.

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

It's not a rumor MINEKURA SAID IT IN AN INTERVIEW.

RP accounts are so useful when you absolutely, positively need a laughing-until-something-ruptures icon, stat.

There is a reason I've never rotated this out. Also, oh God I love Minekura.

WTF, LJ? This icon.

Excuse me, but:

WHAT FUNDOSHI RUMOR????

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

You know, Sanzo's undercrackers!

I can't remember where it is, but apparently Gojyo and Hakkai have this theory that he wears fundoshi under his robe.

Ohhhh. I... Must have missed that? And now I'm imagining...

Okay. Perhaps it's best not to?
