Time for answers to the first four takers on this meme!

Ask for more!

Must....resist.......moe......for older brother characters...

AFTER COMPLETING EPISODE:  Actually, so far, he's not as interesting as I thought he'd be.  So far.

More importantly: SUZAKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

So, I went on vacation (to Virginia Beach, fyi, with jaderhade ) without telling anybody again.  WHY DO I DO THIS?  Sigh...

~I burned like a lobster.  To give you some background, the last time I had a severe sunburn was when I was about seven years old.  SO YEAH.

~I bought cute things!  I bought some jewelry and a beach coverup and this long skirt from thsi tiny mysterious Indian shop that smelled like curry.  But it is a wonderful skirt.

~When Jade and I were at a restaurant together, our waiter bought us dessert because he was late or something.  We were like, "HOLY CRAP WE MUST BE REALLY SEDUCTIVE OR SOMETHING."

~There was a lightning storm on Wednesday night.  It was super cool.  We watched it from the hotel room balcony.

~I finally finished Full Metal Panic!  Best.  Anime.  Ever.  Kaname Chidori is my favorite female anime character in existence, Sousuke Sagara is the best thing in the history of ever, and Leonard Testarossa is face porn.  Like, if there could be porn of only a face, it would be him.  A morally ambiguous White-Haired Pretty Boy Aloof Older Brother with unreadable motives, belonging to an evil organization?  That's, like, every single anime kink I have.  Every one.

~SUNBURN HUUUUUUURTS  ;A;

~There was an Art Expo on the Boardwalk.  Art is cool.  I dragged Jade around to see them all and guh why are there so many talented people in the world

~Re: Shippuden Episode 114: Sasuke's new name is Mr. Pouty Grumpyface McGrumperson, forever.  Also, all this episode has done is add about seven more reasons why Itachi owns everybody ever to the pile of reasons.  AND THERE WAS ANKO.

~Re: Naruto chapter 452: BAAAAAAAW SOB SAIIIIIIIIIII~~~

~Very tired.

Okay, so I don't really watch iCarly on a regular basis.  But I do tend to enjoy it when I see it.

They premiered a new one-hour special just now, entitled "iDate a Bad Boy."  And I enjoyed it...until the primary conflict surfaced, namely that Carly's newfound "bad boy" (who wasn't even all that bad) collected "Pee-Wee Plushies" (or something equivalent to Beanie Babies).

And that was a BAD THING.

None of his characterization changed, just he was suddenly undesirable because he did something that was UnManly.  He was still as hot (the main thing that made him desirable in the first place), still as artistic, his dialogue was still as amusing...but Carly could no longer stand him because he collected cute things.  She even bought him a power drill, and reacted with disgust when he said he'd use it to make display shelves for his collection of cute things.  This was played for laughs.  And when he confronted her after overhearing her make fun of him behind his back, and asked her to give him a straight answer about breaking up, she zoned out imagining his cuddle buddies (or whatever they were) talking around his head.  He had to say, "You know what, this isn't working," and walk out, because it was obvious she wasn't respecting him.  He looked upset.  And it was presented as the desirable end to the conflict.  She didn't even care.

I, I don't know why I care so much, but that made me so very upset.  Carly's usually a good, sympathetic character.  I don't even know why they would present such an awful message like this.

Just perpetuate the double standard, Nickelodeon.  Go right ahead.

(P.S. SPENCER WAS ALSO AMAZINGLY AWESOME.  I only wish some of his best scenes ever weren't wasted on this upsetting special.)

AND WHAT DID I DO? I READ THE SPOILERS. CURSE ME.

BUT....

( Here there be mild spoilers )

Thanks, leradny .  Thanks to your little link in your last journal entry, I am now totally addicted to TVtropes.com. (While I'm directly addressing you, let me add that I totally plan to reply to the lovely review you left me......soon.)

I was skimming the Famous Last Words page, and had to pause to stuff a pillow in my mouth to stifle my minute-long whimpers of sadness upon rereading [spoiler]'s last words in the Naruto section.  What makes this sad is that I had also literally typed them myself an hour ago.  It just..... ;A;  *sobs*  WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY~  I DON'T WANT IT TO BE THE LAST TIMEEEEEEE~

I should go back to being unproductive and a failure at life.

EDIT: *spots [spoiler]'s from FMA anime also* 

"Now I can close my eyes to the living nightmare and rest knowing I won't wake again. Brother..."

FREAKING BROTHERS AND THEIR FREAKING DYING WORDS THAT MAKE ME SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD T/_\T
