Description Ahh... the wallpaper I've only dreamed of up until now. *smiles pleasantly*

As you can see, it's set up to look like a page in a scrapbook, with strips of tape holding down each photo. ^^ And then, the song inscription portraying the feelings of someone. Who you ask? Well... I'll let you take a guess. Hee hee hee... But as you can probably tell, each photo is supposed to tell something about the relationship between Motoko and Batou (or, at least ways the one I think that should exist.)

The bottom left photo is supposed to look older with the faded colors and white border. I like to think of that one showing concern between them, as can obviously be told by the expression on Batou's face.

Then there's the top left photo. Set there to convey how well the two work together in a professional sense.

And finally, the top right, displaying the lighter times between them (obviously just conversing for now. >.< Dern it Kusanagi, let Batou in... heh.)

But here you have it, my dream for both Motoko and Batou. *nods* Darn it, I think they were meant for eachother.

Batou is the coolest character form any anime ever. Not that I'm terribly well-versed in anime, but really.

Aside from that, I love this so much. The lyrics are perfect.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I'm tired of people thinking the Major is gay (she might be bi, but she's definitely into dudes, at any rate.)

I think she does have feelings for Batou as... in her limited moments of opening up they are usually to him, she's just super super professional. Still. Poor Batou.

Yay! -glomps wallpaper-
I love this! This is brilliant!
I watched episode "Barrage" of GitS SAC when the Major and Batou where in the Major's safehouse by the Headquaters. And when the helicopter comes past and Batou moves the Major out the way.
And and and and they stand there dead close for a few minutes. I was like; " C'MON! GET DOWN AND DIRRRRRTY!!!!!"
(can cyborgs do that? I live in hope. XD)

Anyway, glad to have another Motoko/Batou fan around!

Glad you like it!

Heh, I was thinking the same exact thing at that part of the episode. I keep saying over and over, "Look up Motoko, at Batou. Not straight ahead... up!" But then again, they did go into another room afterwards, and Batou did stay the night, so you never know...

And if I remember correctly from both the original manga and an episode of 2nd Gig (#17, Red Data, where the Major ends up helping the refugee kid in Taiwan), I'd say they can do that.

It's rather sad that there's a complete lack of Motoko/Batou art out there. Guess we're a rare breed of fans.

Lol.

I kind of thought that afterwards. But cyborgs seem to sleep in single-bedded pod things. O.O Maybe they have double/king sized ones to help deh soldiers relax. -wags eyebrows- -laughs-

O.O Does the Major end up boinking someone in 2nd Gig!?! Coz if she does and its not Batou I need to know the episode so I don't watch it! D:

It is sad. A lot of GITS fans think the Major is gay. Soo.... -eats yaoi fans-

K-L-Designs In reply to Escaped-Pixel [2008-04-04 14:28:44 +0000 UTC]

Heh, you never know. I'd imagine that either works for them to rest in. Those pod beds look rather uncomfortable to me though. >.>

Thankfully, no, the Major doesn't boink anyone in 2nd Gig. XD I don't want to spoil what happens for you if you plan on watching 2nd Gig though. If you're curious though, let me know and I'll let you in on the part I'm thinking of.

I can actually understand where they might get that the Major is gay, especially after reading the original manga where she's seen playing around with a couple of her friends. But at the same time, she has a boyfriend from Section 1 in the manga, which just seems strange. o.O; But Batou is Batou. XD

Lol. Same here. XD Though the falling-outta-bed factor wouldnt be needed to worry about. XD

Good. As long as it aint the Major boinking someone then I'll wait until I see the episode. Once I've seen it I'll let you know.

I'm never reading the manga. -shakes head- I dont want the Major to have a boyfriend aside from Batou. I've got nothing against gays/bi's but ... I dunno; I assotiate yaoi/yuri with the fans. And the fans always irritate the living sugar out of me. X(

(PS: Can I ask what your sig means? It looks like a game code.)

The manga is definitely interesting and shows a humorous side to the characters that the the movies and series don't present. Especially with the Major. [link] There's a lot of talking in it and can be a little confusing at times, but I'd highly recommend it to any GITS fan. (as long as you don't mind the couple of pages of yuri that show up in the third chapter.) And you only really see her boyfriend in one or two chapters of the eleven total, so you don't really see him that much. I personally did find it a little awkward reading those parts, but thats just because it seemed out of character, in my mind, for Motoko. I wouldn't discount the manga entirely due to that factor though. Its still a really good read.

One neat thing about the manga though, is the fact that as you read through you can actually see some of the plot lines that they've used for both the series and movies (obviously, the first GITS movie is based off the major storyline of the manga.) It's especially neat how they've actually connected 2nd Gig to the manga. But once again, I won't give anything away any more in that aspect.

And my signature is the infamous Konami code. Or at least, one of the variations of it. [link]

Awesome! I might acutally give the manga a try. I read that short page of the manga and the drawing style is really surprising. I thought it would be more ... detailed than that. XD Although considering how old it is it really shouldn't be a surprise. Lol. I guess I can skip the yuri scenes though, and really try hard to pretend that Motoko's boyfriend is really like a best friend or something. XD

I finally finished watching 2nd Gig. The series was brilliant! Though I hated it when Kuze and Motoko hugged near the end. I was growling. XD Though I'm itching to know who the Major was talking about when Juze said; "Do you have someone you can open up to?" and she said; "Yeah, I guess I do."
It did cut to a scene with Batou trying to free the Major, but you cant be too sure.
In that Red Data episode Motoko reeeeeally creeped me out. I only watched the english version, and I'm trying to find a japanese english subs version so that Motoko isn't really that weird, but when that that kid said; "Hey, if your a cyborg, can you still have sex?" and Motoko said; "Wanna find out?"
I was like "...... Oh my God! Major!"

+ In that case, you have an awesome sig! I should try it out on Silent Hill and see if it works. XD

Lol.
Batou is so cool.
And yes, Kusanagi is sometimes even more dense than Batou, and that is really saying something.
I love it, only, the concern picture: he looks a bit surprised more than anything there, (but then he sort of always does when it comes to the Major, lol)
