I...

I managed to enable a Suzaku into apping at Kannagara.

Me. I did that. All by myself. Well, with the help of dear_mun and our new Kannagara musebox. But I. Did it. The long night is over.



I BELIEVE I CAN ONLY EXPRESS SUCH A COMPLEX AND PURE EMOTION THROUGH A PICSPAM.

( PARTY IN HERE )

My friend convinced me to watch portions of the first episode of the Pokemon anime. Long, ridiculous chat excerpt below cut. She had to leave around when the Spearow started attacking, so it stops there.

( god bless veronica taylor )

EDIT: And then she came back, so there's more:

( i don't even know anymore, man )

So I was going to write a hugelong entry about Ruby's character, dissecting his relationships with his father and his Pokemon and the people around him and how he manages to be a huge woobie and also kind of a Jerk Ass and then a woobie again, but like, DARK WOOBIE-ISM in which he kind of subverts Woobie norms, and then I was going to talk about Sapphire and how awesome she is, and how cheap it was that she was completely kicked out of the final battle just so the full depth of Ruby's honestly screwed-up character could be explored, which upset me because I think Sapphire could have been just as screwed up as he was but they didn't bother after she spent the whole arc kicking ass and *pants pants pants, ran out of breath*

And then I went and read the FireRed/LeafGreen arc and completely forgot about it in favor of squealing "SILVER, SILVER, SILVER, SILVER, SILVER, RED, MEWTWO, YELLOW, SILVER, DEOXYS, MOSTLY SILVER, GREEN, SILVER, BLUE, BLUE, BLUE, STILL MOSTLY SILVER, GIOVANNI, OH MY GOD SILVER OH MY GOD"--*shot*

And then I forgot about Ruby and Sapphire again. ^^;;


THE FIRST PAPER'S DONE, HAHAHA NOW I'VE ONLY GOT ONE MORE OF THE SAME SIZE TO DO, FML FML

Also, this arc featured what I like to call RED GRADUALLY LOSING MORE AND MORE CLOTHING:


Red: "GIOVANNI THINKS HE'S SO COOL WITH HIS JACKET-STRIPPING ACTION, SO I THINK I'LL SHOW HIM HOW IT'S DONE!" *whoosh~*


Enemy RED used STRIP! RANDOM has fainted!


...I have no life.

Okay. I was supposed to be writing a paper tonight, but ended up finishing the GSC arc of Pokemon Special. (Doing the paper over break now, I guess. :/ I knew this would happen.)

Basically, this manga is everything that any manga should ever be in terms of awesomeness and plot twists and cuteness and GENDER DYNAMICS and SHIPPING and HDKJSHDSJKFSHJAKF HOLY GOD WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE--

( Large crappy-quality manga scans and capslocky flailing under cut. )

This manga is intended for consumption by young kids. Probably primarily boys, who were the original demographic.

You can't tell me that you can't put great gender dynamics and plot twists that make sense into manga aimed at young boys. You can't. I can't believe you anymore. Not after this. This is a demographic aimed a few years younger than Shounen Jump, the formative years.

If Pokemon can do it, you can do it.

Your move, Jump artists.
