Dagnabbit, science is hard.
I found a book purporting that Man evolved through a more or less aquatic phase, and got all excited about it (it's a really attractive hypothesis) and then I go and look it up on the net and have a look at some of the arguments against it, and it turns out that as attractive as it is, the Hypothesis is JPW(Just Plain Wrong) aka full of HOLES & errors. *headesk*
Oh well. Back to the research board. XD
Oh and
rae00? Here's your Integra Chibi drawing:

Oh, and I forgot, Meme! taken from SN & Claude:
Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal pseudocanon.

XD In other words, she hasn't had to kill people by her own hand, though she probably does feel some guilt over creating the poison. She has, however, been put in a situation where she could have been expected to kill at least a child, but since she is a scientist, she is only armed and taught in the cause of self defence (& self elimination for the good of the org) and she only had to watch Gin do the dirty job. 8D *Yes, I know. Morbid.* Also she and Gin most probably have a dubious consent relationship. ( Red Snowflake & The Sleepover[WIP] )
... Omg, does that mean I've made Shiho -less- of a killer than Akemi? O_o *hides!*
2. I don't think Ai even considers not wanting to get her own body back. To be honest, not wanting to get her own body back would seem unhealthy for her from my pov. Sure, it's the perfect way to hide from her former employers, but if the org was taken down? I doubt she'd even consider giving up on the antidote. As your own icon nicely points out, as long as the person she sees in the mirror is a stranger, she won't truly be herself. (Darkness and most my post DC fics. LAG will probably play with this too.)
3. You and I both share and love the idea that Shiho tried the temporary 24h antidote while Conan was in hospital. I merely have yet to do something with it. ♥
4. I don't consider that Shiho draws that much a parallel in between Akemi and Ran. She considers them both to be brave and innocent people who do their best to cheer others up and not worry them, sure, but I'm certain Ran has many differences.
That said, recent canon events might change my mind regarding the amount of differences. X3
Shiho'll still consider Ran as someone apart, someone she can relate to yet someone who surprises her just as much.
(Mostly Fallen Angels, but also LAG and some of my other fics.)

Date: 2007-05-19 04:33 am (UTC)There isn't so many autho who likes to explore her guilt for her crimes anyway, most of the times, Ai fan deals with her fear of the orgu or her sadness for the loss of her sis, or her difficulties to trust/become intimate with others...
2)Well, the thing is that I picture Ai with strong identity problem more than you, so maybe it's why I've no problem to picture her finishing to see Haibara like her true self?
And since the person she looks in her mirror was already a stranger for her before Akemi's death for me...
But well, it's a matter of personnal interpretation.I said it, both options could be IC for me.
4)There is so much way to picture the relationship between those two.^___^
Shameless Akai/Ran shipper?XD

Date: 2007-05-19 04:45 am (UTC)2. ... Well I do remember making a point in Darkness about how she associates the name "Sherry" with subservience to the org, "Haibara" with fear of death and loss, and "Miyano" with her sister. I think it's kind of unfair that Akemi dies in the attempt to free her sister from the org, only for her to take on an identity that wasn't hers to start with. Ai is not a child at heart, far from it. But then again, I know you are a tragedy lover, and in their attempt to escape the org both sisters "dying" as in losing her identity for Shiho? Very very tragic. Even Akemi didn't die under her own name!
... AKAI/Ran shipper? X3 Now you've got me curious~~~~♥!

Date: 2007-05-19 04:54 am (UTC)2)I've never seen the two sisters dying in trying to escaping the orgu stuff, but I fall in love with it, if you see this idea in one of my fics in the future...^__^
Well, Akemi would know that she had succeded to free her sister and that Shiho would always see her as her great sister, so I don't think there is trully something unfair for Akemi in Shiho remaining Ai(and now you gives me a plunnies with Ai and a ghost Akemi, curses you!Xp)
3)Well, in the last spoilers of the manga, it's the only thing that I've found which could made you love the parallele Akemi/Ran more so...
And, well, the pairing could be interessing and bittersweet, I would think of it(and Ran should finish with someone in my end of the orgu fic anyway so..XD)

2)<3 Ghost Akemi! *.*
And I dunno. I guess it depends how important Shiho's family identity is to her... which is, of course, open to interpretation. I think it is a common fanon that she worked on the project her parents' worked on.
3) Point. XD
I need an Akemi icon. ;.;
