Episode 37 of Rose of Versailles...

I'm not going to stop watching the series there (god no!), but for just a little while I want to rest in the bubble that is all of my dreams coming true  before I conclude the series, you know.. letting it sink in for a little while.   I just didn't have the heart to watch episode 38 up and to 40.   It leaves one with an unbearable little ache because I know how it ends, after all 1.) it's seventies historical shoujo (which never ends well) and 2.) it's the french revolution on top of that.

But it's still a beautiful series and just a single episode made the entire series worth it for me. (Yes, this has everything to do with Oscar/Andre which is my OTP for the series)

I'm tired and I stayed up as long as I could.  It's bedtime for me now.

It was funny though when I was drifting off to sleep early this morning a certain song came on my ipod called "In Our Bedroom After the War" and I was just struck with divine inspiration for a fic for Rose of Versailles though I'm going to watch it to the end before I even begin to write the fic, but there were certain lines just struck me and I think it's very much fitting of the entire series.

I've fallen in love with this series, really I have. Ah, Oscar/Andre.. how you fire my heart.

Now if only I could actually kick out some RoV icons damn it.

Also, Take That's new single is out, "Said it All" plus a song SUNG BY MARKIE entitled "Throwing Stones" which I want, but sadly I need to live in britian in order to order it on itunes :Shakes fist: Damn you, Itunes, damn you.

I have this feeling that Oscar and Andre are going to end up making me very sad, very much like how it got to the point where Princess was so depressing for Leo and Eshild that I just wanted to avert my eyes. In all honesty, I'm pretty sure I've just hit the downward spiral and I just know that it isn't going to get any better.

I can't really say anymore because I'm saving it all for the review after I finish watching this series, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be lengthy.

Really, it's not to say that I'm not enjoying this series, it's incredibly good which is really fueling my overwhelming love for the old school stuff, you know.. the anime and manga that EVERYONE should watch and/or read.

13 more episodes to go. I can't believe that I got that far in a weekend, I really can't. But when something engages me like that, it's really hard for me to stop and I just grow obsessive with it until I finish it. I can list a whole lot of series that were exactly like that, that captured the core of my obsession. Rose of Versailles I think can be listed among those series.

And Andre, yeah.. he's a hottie. Just because I'm a lesbian doesn't mean I can't appreciate the animated man-flesh (drawn so perfectly) or Take That for that matter.

As far as Rose of Versailles go, I am now an official Oscar/Andre fan. Especially when Andre was like "Oscar, you may seem made of ice, but you have a heart of burning fire" and then he added on "And that's the part of you that I love". And I swear my heart just melted completely in regards to that. But that being said, my mind on the pairings have been made up, I am an Oscar/Andre fangirl just because it's just entirely too sweet for words (and I have a feeling that the end is going to make me cry in that regards, I mean it's an anime about the french revolution.. of course it's gonna make me cry, because we all know how that ends.)

I have officially decided that the whole seme and uke cliche is only amusing and/or fitting when applied to Oscar/Andre.. and not as a theoretical concept.
