:3 It's about time the board had one of these .. Milieva, if this dosen't belong, feel free to delete it.
You know you're obsessed with Rayearth when ..
1) You feel the wind blowing surprisingly harsh and comment to a friend of yours how Fuu must be angry.
2) Everytime you go to the beach, you dive down into the water, hoping to find the Water Shrine.
3) When something catches on fire, you try to persuade Hikaru to stop it.
4) You keep looking for floating mountains.
5) Everytime one of your friends/family members eats a marshmellow, you cry; why? Because they're eating Mokona! D:
6) You take up dancing just to learn how to create illusions.
7) You tell someone that you 'love them so much you want to kill them.' (Anime-Only! xD)
8 ) You see a really tall male and wonder if he is somehow related to Lafarga, Lantis, or Zagato.
9) On the contrary, you see a really short male and wonder if he is related to Clef.
C'mon, people! Add some of your own! x3 Lord knows that this list isn't finished by a longshot!
Few come to mind...
You convince yourself that Emeraude isn't stable whenever something bad happens (War, Natural disaster, etc).
You keep glancing at the sky, thinking either: 1) Someone will fall out and be saved by a giant fish, Or 2: That's not the sky, it's a mirror! I must break it to save the princess!
Everytime you see a black horse, you begin to wonder if it can fly. x3
The below are all true. Which makes them more amusing.
? You actually sit around and try to figure out what Mokona would taste like.
? Your friend makes you an edible Mokona out of marshmallows and icing because of the above. (I wish I could find the photo I took of it.)
? You make your friends all nostalgic for MKR and get them re-addicted to Ferio and his sexy self.
? You pout and whine because you can't style your hair like your favorite character. (My hair's too long D:)
? You have home-made plushies (or life-size cardboard cut-outs..) of the characters.
? Your class notes are eternally full of MKR doodles.
? You don't have to read the anime subtitles anymore because you know all the lines, even if you don't speak Japanese.
? When you stop referring to them as characters and start talking about them like they're real people.
I'm sure I could come up with more/better ones...
You cosplay.
(I have a Mokona girl outfit in progress. XD I know Mokona's a boy, but I'M a girl, and I wanna be a scantily clad Mokona!)

I really do, don't I?
Hee. The idea actually came from watching too much Tsubasa, but I like it when Mokona only says "Puu".... That way, I can go to the doujinshi tables at cons and say, "PUUU-rn!".... That was my friends idea, that's why it's stupid.

That just proves how obsessed with Rayearth we are. We apply it to our lives and make everything with Rayearth references. ..... :) (I think)
Oh, I know!
? You look at MKR PUUU-rn.

*In hysterics*
? You draw PUUU-rn.
(http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a40/sugaredcardboard/sketchbook/PUUUrn.jpg)
You can't go into a closet without giggling insanely and blaming things on Caldina.
... I added that just for La Pharle Suza. xD
- You shout at the television whenever one of the characters says or does something you don't agree with. ( "DAMMIT, UMI! QUIT SAYING THE WORD 'MACHO,' IT GETS ANNOYING!" )

That picture. Ugh. I feel unclean.
1) You picture Mokona in full dominatrix attire...
2) And, of course, you're here! ^^
*Are trying to create a site to rival the awsomness of a dead site that everyone remembers.
*Make your own plushies, because Clef's spirit beasts need love too.
*Rebought the full manga series just for the prettier version.
*Own almost every official CD in existance
- You try to recruit other people into the fandom (friends, family, acquaintances, etc ..)
- You write fanfiction and draw fanart. x3
- You're on a trip to Japan, and you specifically go to Tokyo Tower, just to see if you will be pulled into Cephiro.
- You blame everything on either Clef, Caldina, or Ferio. ( ... xD; )
- You roleplay. O:
- You have the entire series of Rayearth and Rayearth II on DVD. ( ... Guilty? xD; )
- You have a Mokona plushie! O: ( I wish. XD )
Quote- You blame everything on either Clef, Caldina, or Ferio.
With good reason.
? Your friends make you various incarnations of your favorite characters, such as plushies and life-size cardboard cut-outs. >.>;
? You do random fanfic memes with MKR characters just to see what kind of weird pairings you can come up with.
? You name your pets after the characters.
(mine are named after characters from Ashita no Nadja, but give it time.)

That works for stuffed animals and the like too! I do that (for another anime though, but it's getting there :P)

One: Where can I find the said meme?
Two: I don't name my PETS after characters, persay, I would much rather name my electronic appliances after them. XD My laptop is named Ascot and my Digicam is named Hikaru. xD

I'm actually about to post it in the fanfic section... so we can play with it. >D
It's SO EVIL.
I've done a meme like that once... it was REALLY funny. Too bad I lost it... I still have the link to where I found the meme... *scuttles off to find it*
- You have dreams about Rayearth.
- You have dreams about marrying one of the Rayearth characters.
That last one really did happen to me... Clef and I had a wedding... and we kissed... and... um, yeah. *crawls off*
you name not only fish after characters but plan on naming a child after one. >.>
Quote from: ragyn on September 05, 2006, 04:19:36 AM

For a short time, I contemplated naming a daughter Umi (at least her middle name). Because it can pass better in normal life than most of the other MKR names.
I had a goldfish named Elessar once...but really, to not traumatize your children throughout their lifetimes...you need to marry a Japanese person. (ha! Solution!)
(haha)
You go to Tokyo, to Tokyo tower hoping to meet a Japanese guy, hopefully named Clef, that you might possibly have oodles of kids with. >.> yeah.
Hahahah! The Mokona picture is sooo funny! Actually I was looking and 2,4,5,6, and 7 all apply to me O.o. I really do think of those things when in those situations. I am soooo late on posting on this topic :(...
you can name all of the character ranks in order.
You have a Mokona door hanger that let's people know when Mokona is "Busy" and not "Busy" and oh I mean that in so many ways. Plus I actually have one XD
mokona purn! nooooooooooo
ahem....
You draw mokona on each marshmellow before you eat it.
You get an e-mail with the subject-line 'this is UMI' and nearly have a heart attack. Then spazz about it for days. And refuse to delete the e-mail. ;D
You pick clothing just because it reminds you of what the character would wear. (I have a $65 skirt as proof.)
You find that 45% of the MKR authors you have met online are named a variation of Aly, Ally, Allison, etc... (I know of three board members off the top of my head who are...)
You invent a form of government that becomes fanon
You finally get Rayearth on dvd and watch the entire first season in 2 days, even though it is the end of the semester and you got term papers to write, stuff to read for class and a play that opens in a week... You are exhausted and nothing makes sense anymore, not even your daily routine. the only thing you are concerned about is that Umi, Fuu and Hikaru need to save Cephiro quick!
Man, I really need to go to bed and yet I'm here, rambling about my revived addiction to Rayearth and hoping to someday soon become something better than a "citizen"... :-\
- You get married on your favorite character's birthday.
(It's somewhat a coincidence. I wanted to get married in December and the 12th was a Saturday so...)
- Half of the clothes in your closet are blue
- I agree, a lot of my things I buy are because they look what someone would wear
- You do a flip when an email comes in with something on MKR fanfiction
- You become somewhat delusional and occasionally think you are fourteen when you are really a year younger ._.; (Sorry about that guys)
- You die your hair blue, for heaven's sake! (Tips were blue for 2 months... It then turned grey :C They are finally back to blonde)

I almost insisted on this. 3 March would have been so much fun. Then I realised I'd rather have another month to do planning, since we barely had six with 1 April.
I had no idea where to post this but.... My friend was suggesting I try all sorts of hairstyles and my Ascot came out freakishly well.
http://s1168.beta.photobucket.com/user/WaterDragonsWing/media/DD70B8C1-CEF3-48A2-BF67-8C13B27912ED-5641-000004DFFEA36AD3.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0
My Clef also came out pretty well, but I was just grabbing random hair accessories off my desk so... If you want to see that one let me know... But this one surprised me how well it turned out.
The reason it is here is the fact that I didn't want to start a new thread just for this and this topic seemed most fitting...
-You go to every synogogue in your town, in hopes of meeting High Priest Zagato.
-Every time you see stormy weather, you think that your world is crumbling.
-During a boring sermon at church,you wish that Zagato was the preacher.
-You cried when you saw the scene where Princess Emeraude dies and was sent to be in the arms of Zagato.
-A particular VA is familiar with your MKR fanfiction.
-You have gotten more than one reply to e-mails you send to your favourite VA.

Hee, that is very cool.
...when you tweeted CLAMP when they were doing their April First Office AU and asked them where Clef (and the Knights! But my answer was about Clef XD) is in the AU?
Ugh when you're putting away fabric bolts at work and keep picking out fabrics that suit the characters. But there's no reason for you to buy any because you don't sew and don't have any ideas for fabric-related fanworks anyway but THAT FABRIC IS SCREAMING FUU and you just want to look at it for a while.
(can't even get swatches, have to get an eighth of a yard and that's just width, you'd be stuck with 40"+ of fabric for no reason other than fannish whims)
You know you're obsessed with Rayearth when:
you imagine all sorts of funny scenes with the characters, even the most serious and stoic ones.
you make up all sorts of alternative scenarios in your head, eg. what if...this or this happens
you contemplates learning Spanish so you could read those spanish fanfics in ff.net
...When you spend more than three hours whacking out a headcanon timeline for events starting with Emeraude becoming Pillar and ending with the end of the series.
...When the above-mentioned timeline includes approximate time of day for events happening during the manga itself.
When you don't even know what you could put in this thread anymore and keep staring at your life alternately laughing hysterically and moping??
(Also when you still want the manga in all the romance languages you CAN'T REALLY READ...)

Maaaaaybe....... (this has totally gone off topic, I think)
Darling, the topic is 'when you know you're obsessed with Rayearth' - pretty certain the fact we're even DISCUSSING this shows that we are, in fact, obsessed with Rayearth, and is therefore RIGHT ON TARGET?
...When the headcanon timeline you previously mentioned in this thread has somehow expanded itself to start with Clef's birth. (Seriously, it's now approximately two and a half pages in Word.)
...When you work out what the time difference between Cephiro and Autozam has to be in order to prevent the time things happen according to Cephiran time in your headcanon timeline being in the middle of the night according to Autozamian time. And then modify when some things happen according to Cephiran time when you realize that the timing doesn't work out right no matter what the difference is.
nothing left to say since everything comes to my mind is written :-D i love "you know you are obsessed with ... when ..." things too much.
- When you've had teachers concerned because you keep designing your own MKR style swords in class.
- When you realize that the green hat collection you started was probably because of Ascot.
- When you leave the fandom for years, only to get back into it on a whim and find yourself sucked in so easily since you still own the entire DVD set, the entire manga, the entire OVA on VHS, plushies, posters, collector's cards...
- When you're trying to create a full bestiary of Ascot's friends.
- When you're still annoyed over the anime's second season and you know you'll end up rewatching it just completely document what you found wrong with it.
All completely true.
...............................When your wedding dress is purple and it amuses you that your wedding ~colours~ (even when you aren't really having much in wedding colours) are - based on your otp?
..............................................................I wear a lot of purple IT HAS SURPRISED NO ONE (it's the most PURPLE PURPLE TO EVER PURPLE THOUGH it's not a ver cephiran dress. I was looking, but this one went HI YOU LIKE ME or something.)

HAH Rayearth's really good about that. I think most of us have wandered away for a year or two here and there but then find ourselves dragged back into the morass of FEELINGS about it. XD
....I would love to see that bestiary, ooooh. [/list]
When you sent your best friend a ransom note on their birthday saying you'd kidnapped Clef and demanded $100 to keep him alive. (Guess who their fave was)
When you own three different versions of the manga and the first set is the one where they mirror flipped the book and the translations are terrible.
The only way to keep you from buying more MKR merchandise off of ebay is to break your fingers.

This is just wonderful! I love purple too! I'd like to see a picture of your wedding dress *-*
When it's late at night and you suddenly start thinking about
this forum. So you start reading random old topics and posts, and you realize that you want to get back into the fandom again - well, you have never abandoned it, you know that. Then, fierce floods of nostalgia take possession of you, and you almost want to cry thinking about your old, sweet memories connected to Rayearth.
And you realize you need a new Fuu/Ferio fanfiction by Suzanami.
And you decide to write stupid things on this topic.
Ah, Rayearth. Thank you.
I haven't actually got the wedding photos on my laptop - so I've asked Mils to find one XD
But YAY for the sneaky midnight return of fandom feels!
You know you're obsessed with Rayearth when - accidentally 8000 words of crackfic in half a week happens?
Ok! Pictures of Down's dress.
ON A TRAIN!
(http://psynos.net/images/Forum_images/wedding_dress.jpg)
Plus the lacing up the back, because that was definitely a feature. And an adventure getting it on.
(http://psynos.net/images/Forum_images/back_of_dress.jpg)
Let us not forget the bouquets made from the Rayearth manga, because I think that counts more than the dress.
(http://psynos.net/images/Forum_images/rayearth_bouquet.jpg)
WOOOOW, Down's dress is awesome! I love it! The colour and the lacing are gorgeous :D
The bouquets are wonderful! I'm not sure I've understood the reference to the manga... The colours are really beautiful, though!<3
You know you're obsessed with Rayearth when you dye your (really long) hair red, you do a braid and feel a little like Hikaru ;D
Oh, sorry. I suppose I didn't explain myself as well with that, as Rev and Cami were at the wedding, and Suz and others have heard about it lots, I forget it is not common knowledge that I made the bouquets out of volume 1 of the manga. I got a used copy and cut it up to make the flowers. You can see more detail in this photo. I can try to get some close ups of them this week, if you want?
(http://psynos.net/images/Forum_images/morebouquet.jpg)
ALSO: can we see pics of the hair?
Hey Milieva, sorry for the late reply! When I saw the first picture you attached, I didn't notice that the bouquets were made out of the manga. OMG! Thank you for posting your pictures, they're amazing! I can't believe that! Did you make those bouquets? They're so beautiful and artistic and creative - I'm stunned, ahah!
The idea of using the manga in order to create those bouquets is wonderful. It really shows how much this manga has changed your life, in a way - did you and Down meet each other thanks to Rayearth? This is so romantic, I'm melting <3
RAYEARTH CHANGES LIVES - I want to hug my manga right now XD
I have a picture of my red hair somewhere, but I don't know how to attach it here :-[ Now my hair is kind of reddish-brownish, maybe I will dye it again... It's so hard to make up your mind when your hair is really long and you have to wait years in order to get your natural colour back XD

Oh, well. Here I am - again.
I'm suddenly feeling nostalgic - why do I miss Rayearth right now? Why Fuu, Hikaru and Umi are haunting my mind after such a long time? I think I've always kept all the characters in a secret little place within my heart. Always, since I read the manga so many years ago. They're always there. And sometimes, that little hidden place starts beating faster and faster - that's when Rayearth feels come back. Like a flood. And it's beautiful <3
You two look totally gorgeous. Not sure I would be willing to cut up the books though. Wow!
