The Genderbending of Haruhi Suzumiya [Spoilers Aplenty]

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

... Wait, I was supposed to be actually doing something, wasn't I?

*e* I know something that will have to be removed if we were to go the "ghost" route.

Spoiler for 『Untitled 1』:

White things were falling from the sky. Numerous, tiny, fluttering, aqueous crystals. They fell to the earth and vanished.

It was one of the wonders that filled time and space. In this world, such wonders were common. I stood absolutely still. The passing of time had lost its meaning.

Those wonders of bound cotton continued to fall, one after another.

This shall be my name.

And with that thought, I was a ghost no more.

I need an image macro to describe my feelings. Hmm... This should do.



Although "White things" sounds rather off.

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

... Um... that's unedited... I'm just pointing out the fact that Yuki considered herself a ghost until naming herself.

I realize that.

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

Ah, okay... my mistake, then.

[Tyabann]

I had something about that earlier, actually. Let's see if I can remember it.

If I have no name, I am but a ghost.

But being a ghost, is, in itself, an identity.

So I will take that name, and make it my own.

And so, by becoming a ghost, I was then a ghost no more.

Not as poetic as the original but you get the idea of what I'm driving at here, I hope.

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

And now my head hurts.

Actually... I have another idea... let me write it up...

*e* Putting this here so I don't mix it with a post that's actually somewhat productive...

Has that ever stopped us before?

*e again* Besides, I'm pretty sure most people here are well aware, as it's pretty much the same reaction Engrish gets.

Here's my, as usual, bad attempt at trying to redo something... might continue on to Untitled's 2 and 3 later.

Spoiler for Untitled 1, Yuuki ver. (Shirogane rough draft):

I am a ghost, the boy had said when we earlier met about ｘｘｘｘ.

When I asked for a name, "I do not have a name" was his response. "Since I do not have a name, I am a ghost. You are probably the same." he had continued.

That is correct. I am also a ghost. A being able to communicate with ghosts must also be a ghost. Like I am now.

"Well then, shall we go?"

He said, and I followed. His steps were so light, the boy looked completely alive. "Where will you go?" he asked me, as he stopped moving his feet and turned around.

"You can go anywhere. Was there a place you wanted to go?"

I was lost in thought. Where have I gotten to? What is this place? Why am I here? {Note: SO wanting to make a "Nothing" reference... but I won't}

As I stood there, I couldn't help but gaze into the boy's dark eyes.

"Weren't you thinking of going to ｘｘｘｘ?"

The boy had discerned my answer. When I heard those words, I finally understood what my role was. Yes, I was on my way there. How could I forget? For this important matter, I had a reason to live and exist.

It is something that I must not forget.

"So, that's that, then."

The boy smiled happily. I nodded, and expressed my gratitude.

"Good bye."

The boy disappeared, leaving me by myself. He had probably returned to his place, and in the same way, I had to return to mine.

White things were falling from the sky. Numerous, tiny, flutter, aqueous crystals. They fell to the earth and vanished, as though they were departed spirits returning to the planet.

This was one of the many wonders that filled time and space. In this world, wonders were common. I stood absolutely still. The passing of time had lost its meaning.

Those spirits continued to fall, one after the other.

This shall be my name, in memory of this moment, and of what I once was.

And with that thought, I became a ghost in name only.

Well, it can't be helped I guess. What is fun is fun, we are going to stop just because we might(or even "probably") be wrong. If someone who actually understand something, please say something.

Nice.

But now, acfter reading besieger post, I wonder something. "幽鬼(yuuki)" is "ghost/spirit" as "soul of someone who died". Have that "ghosts" from the original 『Untitled 1』 the same meaning? Sometimes, two word that are related in a language are not in another.

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

That's more or less what I had figured before even writing it, as there's apparently more ways to write "ghost" than there are meanings for "yuuki." I simply don't care, as I don't really expect that to be the final version.

Well, it seen the final version will follow the same idea, anyway.

I imagine the 'ghost' in the text is not 'yuuki'. However, I wonder if they are(or cam be) synonim. I mean, in english, you could use both 'ghost' and 'spirit' and maybe even 'apparition' and 'vision' to give the same idea. I just wonder if the same can be done with 'yuuki' and whatever be the word it is actually used.

cant someone point to me where to find the sort of manga version going on with this?are they fan made or something?

You should be more specifc. Are you talking aboute the rewhrites, the fanfics or the visual novel? Anyway, there is no such thing. There is a web-manga ,Tsuji. But that is it.

Random doujin. You can find loads of then on the net. Look over the 260+ pages of the Genderbend Images Thread for more (or in the begining of this thread). Or in Isadora's 4share folder.

There is other sites as well, but I don't know them.

[Tyabann]

And here's another Goddamn Update.

Goddamn. I'm tired.

Spoiler for September the Fifth, Day 4: Hallway- Pitiful:

Pitiful

Well, I guess I’ll just go home. There’s not much I can do with the meeting being cancelled, after all.

So, I’ll just deposit my hard-fought-for indoor shoes in my locker, and be on my way.


When I round the corner to the left of the clubroom, a small body runs straight into me, knocking me back about half a meter. I manage to keep my balance. The owner of the small body, however, ends up sprawled on the floor.

[Note: I realize that Kyonko is taller than both Yuki and Mikuru, but it’s more the impression she gives off that makes her seem “small”. Also we need a CG here, one that we’re going to use for a basis for a LOT of other ones. For some reason, they’re going to have a tendency to run into each other like this. Why? Because it’s hilarious.]


Girl: Owwww…


It’s Girl A, from this morning. I reach out my hand to her, but the minute she notices who is offering her help, she scoots away several meters. It’s kind of cute, actually.


Girl A: You…! What do you think you’re doing, hogging the hallway like that?


I could ask you what you’re doing running like that in the hallways. You’re liable to trip over your… visitor’s… slippers.

She isn’t wearing visitor’s slippers, but instead is wearing ordinary indoor shoes. What’s more, I get an impression of newness from her uniform…

Hmm? She pulls down on the hem of her skirt, almost absentmindedly. The look in her eyes is telling me I should probably scrutinizing her.

…Right.

I’ll just…

[DECISION POINT HERE]

1) Say goodbye.
2) Apologize.

Not a Jerk, Really


Kyon: See you around, then.


I’m just going to go home and pretend this never happened. It’s too much trouble otherwise.


Girl A: Wh--? Hey! Is that how you treat a girl you just knocked down?

Kyon: Goodbye~.

Girl A: Jerk!


She calls after me as I walk off.

…Do I deserve that? She was the one who stole my shoes in the first place, leading to this situation, and, furthermore, she was the one who just ran into me.

Do I really deserve that?

I don’t, by the way.


Measure for Measure

Regardless of whether she got new indoor shoes or not, I kind of get the feeling I was a bit too mean this morning.

Although she was the one who was stealing my shoes in the first place. In fact, she probably stole those ones she has now, too.

For that matter, she was the one who just ran into me, so her being knocked onto the floor is entirely her fault.

In fact, why am I apologizing at all?

Can’t I just pretend this never happened and go home already? Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m going to do.


Girl A: *ahem*


…And while I was ruminating on whether or not to just walk away, she got up by herself.


Girl A: You know, you’d think a person would say that they’re sorry when they knock a girl down.

Kyon: Hey, I could have fallen over too, at the speed you were running.


In a hurry to go somewhere?


Girl A: …I guess you’re right. Sorry about that.


Kyon: Whatever, it’s okay.


There, now if she’s going to be reasonable it should be easy to escape without much trouble.


Kyon: I was just on my way home, so I’ll be seeing you—

Girl A: Hey, hold on a minute.

Dammit!


Kyon: …What?

Girl A: Don’t think I’ve forgotten that you left me stranded with no shoes this morning!


Not this again.


Kyon: You were trying to steal my shoes!

Girl A: Yes, but, um, only because someone had stolen mine!

Kyon: Who on earth would want to steal someone else’s indoor shoes?

Girl A: I was trying to steal yours!

Kyon: There couldn’t possibly be another person out there who’s that strange. Besides, why were you so intent on my shoes? If you were really just trying to replace your stolen shoes, there was no way you would have picked ones that clearly belonged to a guy! If you were really just trying to replace your stolen shoes, there was no way you would have picked ones that clearly belonged to a guy!

Girl A: Well, I, uh. …You know, you’re probably the only person who might believe me if I tell you.

Kyon: Oh?


I can’t see any possible answer that would make sense, but given that she’s so willing to steal indoor shoes, I don’t expect an answer that would make sense.


Girl A: …I’m actually your gender-reversed alternate from another dimension who somehow wound up stranded in this one, and that’s why I was trying to take your shoes in particular.


…A long time ago, I would have believed her immediately. Last year, I would have laughed.

Right now, I’m aware that there’s a large possibility that what she says is true.

If so, exactly what does that mean?

[Note: I’m kind of wondering if it’s a good idea to drop this suggestion on him this early, but that’s why I post these things here in the first place.]

Kyon: Are… are you serious?

Girl A: …No, no, of course not.


She sticks her tongue out at me.


Kyon: H-hey!


I was actually scared for a minute there. Still, who comes up with crap like that, other than Haruhi? Maybe this girl is a cousin or something.


Girl A: Hah. You’re entirely too gullible. I thought so.

Kyon: …Exactly what was the point of that?

Girl A: I don’t know. Actually, in repayment for stranding me without shoes—

Kyon: There were visitor’s slippers! And explain what you have on now!

Girl A: I’d like you to help me carry a computer monitor out to the gates.

Kyon: …Why should I? I have no obligation to repay you for anything, whatsoever.

Girl A: …Please, I really need the help. …I’ll even pay you…


She pulls out her wallet, which is, oddly enough, exactly like mine. Except that it’s pink.

…


Girl A: Um. Seventy yen?

Kyon: …Sigh. Okay, I’ll help you.


If she’s trying that hard I can’t just leave her alone like this.


Girl A: Thanks a lot!

Kyon: It’s no trouble. Where is this monitor?

Girl A: Um, well. It’s in the Computer Society clubroom.

Kyon: Wait. Why on earth would they let anyone take any of their precious hardware? Unless…


You’re stealing that, too?!


Girl A: …

Kyon: You are, aren’t you? You kleptomaniac! I should change your name to “Thief!”

Thief: Hey, hey, that’s not fair! I have a legitimate reason for stealing this monitor!

Kyon: Like you had a legitimate reason for stealing my shoes?

Thief: …! Okay, you’re right. But this is seriously important. I’m not just some random thief.

Kyon: Fine, fine. Let’s just stick with “Girl A”, then.

Girl A: …?


Inside the Computer Society clubroom, which is suspiciously empty…


Girl A: One of the empty clubrooms has this ancient computer we figured we could use, but I, uh, tripped and fell down the stairs, and smashed the monitor to bits, so…

Kyon: So you’re stealing one from here? Also, they never miss a club meeting. Why are they in here?

Girl A: My friend managed to… distract them, shall we say. I was on my way here to quickly grab the monitor, but I ran into you instead.


She glares at me. I choose to ignore her.


Kyon: …These monitors are all flatscreens… they’re light, even for you. Why do you need my help carrying it?

Girl A: That’s just it, I don’t. I want you to carry it for me while I keep on the lookout for the Computer Society… they’ll probably be on their way back soon, since I messed up the timing.

Kyon: …You know, I could be doing that. Why do I need to carry the monitor?

Girl A: Hey, you already agreed to help me. You’re not going to back out now, right?


She looks up at me, doe-eyed.


Kyon: Sigh, fine, I’ll carry it. I expect to be paid that seventy yen in full, though.


CSP: That bitch, I can’t believe she—hey! Where do you two think you’re going with that?!


The minute I step outside the door, too.


Girl A: Oh crap. Run!

Kyon: You don’t even need to tell me!

CSP: You fools! Stop gawking and get after them!

CS Minions: Yes, president! Right away, sir!


…It would appear that being in the Computer Research Society doesn’t allow them much time to exercise regularly, as Girl A and I managed to leave them far behind.

So, in this way, we made it to the gate earlier than I thought we would.


Kyon: Pant… pant… I think we… lost them…

Girl A: Yeah… heh… somehow… pant… mind if I… hold onto you… for support…? I think I’m gonna… pant… collapse…

Kyon: Yeah… go right… ahead… but don’t complain if I… pant… fall over too.


It would appear that we’re a little out of shape too. Funny. You’d think a thief would be used to running away.


Girl A: Shut… up…


A few minutes pass while we catch our breath. We must look like such lunatics, having run out of the school at top speed, only to stop at the entrance.

…Didn’t I do this just the other day?

I wonder what Girl A could even be up to, stealing a computer like this. She says she has a friend helping her, too.

…I suppose they could be planning to sell it somewhere, but she said that the computer itself was old… And if they need to use a computer for something, wouldn’t it be easier to just go to a library?

I glance at her sweating face. …She’s actually kind of cute, now that I think about it. Although, from this angle, something about her seems… familiar? What was it she said earlier?


Girl A: What are you looking at?

Kyon: Nothing. So, now what do we do?

Girl A: Dunno… It—er, Kitsuko should be here, but… I don’t see her anywhere. …I guess she had to run off herself, or something.

Kyon: …So, should we wait here, or can I just go…?

Girl A: We all promised to meet up later, so I guess that’s where she’ll be… Yeah, you’re done. Thanks for your help, by the way. Here’s your seventy yen.

Kyon: Thank you very much.


Girl A picks up the monitor with a little difficulty. It must be kind of awkward for her to carry something like that.


Girl A: Well, now that our transaction has been completed, I’ll be on my way. See you.

Kyon: Hey, hold on a minute.

Girl A: …What?

Kyon: If we’re going the same way, I’ll carry that for you for a while.


Ignoring her protests, I relieve her of the monitor.


Kyon: Where are you heading?

Girl A: That café near Kitaguchi Station…

Kyon: Right, let’s go.

Girl A: …Why are you still helping me? For that matter, why did you even help me in the first place?

Kyon: Well, you asked, right?

Girl A: I demanded. It was a completely unreasonable demand, and you could have just walked away.

Kyon: How should I say this… I’m used to taking orders from unreasonable women.

Girl A: That can’t be the only—


Her voice is cut off by a shout from the direction of the school.


CSP: There they are! Get them!

Kyon: Oh crap. Run!

Girl A: You don’t even need to tell me!


And we ran out the gates and down the hill, carrying that monitor and looking like idiots. I’ll be surprised if someone (like that poor Computer Society) doesn’t report us to the police.

Bah, crappy ending.

I don't even know how this turned out. Tell me, please.

[DJ_RockmanX]

Ah the computer society. We need more of those guys.

[bhl88]

lol Kyon and Kyonko (Girl A) were found that fast.... maybe the CS has simple technology XD

[Heatth]

Nice scene. Both Kyon's are really selfish aren't they?

I loled with that one. Best line this time. It is soo Kyon. Btw, in the subscene, I missed he using the fact Girl A fleed from his helping hand the first time he tryed to help her.After that is more or less natural just go away.

Hmmm, why did she denyed latter? Wasn't she going to tell him last night? I can understand she cowering in the last minute (like how she did earlier), but after doing, why would she deny? It is simpler for her if he know, I guess.

Anyway, it might work. But then, it should be a variable there right? A so important hint must be remembered latter.

Amuzing. If bloodheated!Kyon is somewhat similar to Haruhi, a imprudent Kyonko should be similar to Haruhi as well. And she still on character after all, I can see Kyon behaving in a similar way if their roles were reversed. Very good.

This is a Zelda reference? If so, very good. I laugt here too. However, it shouldn't be "THIEF" then?

Lol breaking of the 4th wall. It is not unrealistc tough, so it is OK.

Lol again. I didn't expect he was really going to that that 70 yens.

Hey, did Kyon get fooled? It shouldn't be seventy? That Kyonko...

Err, good point. If they are going to back to school later (Day 7 right?) shouldn't be a variable here? The CCP knows Kyon, after all.

How I would know? I liked it, however. Really funny.

I agree. We also need more of Computer Loli. She is even funier. Any change of her showing again?

PP:
Lol, I really liked this scene. It been a while since I have made so many comments in a single one.

[Tyabann]

Yes, we are going to need a variable here. Let's call it "Samaritan".

I'll probably need to make it a requirement for Kyonko's route or something, then...

Caps shouldn't matter, and yes it is a Zelda reference.

And here I was, expecting lots of criticism from you.
