Sometimes things amuse me more than they should...

Yeah.

Also, am reminded that the PoT character songs really are nifty, which continues to surprise me. But the dance mixes--man, those remixes kick much ass. Mucho ass...o. Or something.

Have spent too much time today pondering PoT characterizations. Am already getting twitchy about the over ukefication of certain ones, the ukefication of dyed-in-the-wool semes, and the wtf?-villanizations of others. I can tell I'm building up a small rant on 'Evil!Fuji'. As well as a pondering-querying why Kaidoh is not drawn terribly muscular in the djs (What, does being uke suck your muscles out of your body? ...wait, bad mental image. Ohlordy. >_o Scratch that.) And I have a mental image of Tezuka going to a 'Dammit, I'm a Seme!' convention with the likes of Sanzo, Aya/Ran, Heero, Tsuzuki, etc. And is it me, or is Eiji going to be the next 'bouncing off the walls-on a perpetual sugar high-giddy freak' ala Duo? Ah, fandom, where genki=manic. And of course there's the way characters turn into action figures in fan-fiction, capable of only one trick--look, it's Inui with Scribble in Notebook action! And Takashi, with BURNING! racquet-grabbing action! Tho I am surprised that Ryoma isn't turning into the hidden-Mary Sue du jour (yet)--maybe that's for Fuji and Sakuno (ackgh).

Okay, enough. *smacks herself* Told myself I was keeping it short. Baka desu.

I love you. I love you love you love you. ^_^

Actually, there seems to be a theory that Momo is the mangaka's Mary Sue, and that's why everyone seems to be interested in him. And why he gets to have mad monkey boylove sex with the main character. ^_^ Not sure if I believe it, but it's good for a laugh.

Scarily, there are MarySue-fic on ff.net already. Knew it would happen, but...it still boggles the mind.

*giggles* And I think a spamfic about the 'Dammit, I'm a Seme!' convention should be your next assignment. *cracks whip* So get to it!

The action figures. *dies* You kill me, you really, really do.

You must watch tonight and tomorrow night, and report in Thursday! I'm going to San Antonio for grandparents 60th anniversary this weekend, but...I expect a report!!

*smooch* love you. Let me know when you find bloggie images and we can discuss title, subdomain, etc.

Have pondered the Momo the Mary Sue concept for a bit, and I dunno. I think probably not. ^^ I mean, he doesn't seem that out of line with any of the rest of the characters, even in a sense of others liking/putting up with him. They all seem to do that with each other. Now you wanna talk mangaka Mary Sue's, just you wait for Saiyuki--not the main or secondary casts, but the random female characters that show up? ALL very MS. VE-RY. From OVA to series to movie. It's an odd Minekura quirk--and it does show up in almost all of her manga series. ^^;

Gads, gonna have to scramble to find PoT watching time tonight (at least I'll have tomorrow...) I'd forgotten that James was having Amptguard folks over for a rules discussion, and since our only real usable common area in the house is the basement where our computers are... Dunno if I'll hide out in another part of the house or go out while they discuss. Eh.

*really jonesing for a blog* Am tempted to ask Jenn to just do a layout with the one image I've sent already, but I really did want to layer in some sort of Inui image to make it feel InuKai-ish. If I just could find him looking wicked-smirky and yet cool... Wouldn't even mind a b/w image, as then it could get layered in in a sort of shadowy-effect or something. Title, am still thinking 'Melodramatic Fool', if no one else out there has used that yet. Not for the characters but because it suits me. ^^; The layout I'd probably consider titled the "Naughty Boy" version, because at least the one line from it needs to be used. Heh. And subdomain? ?? Dunno.

Had a blast last night. ^__^ Didn't get nearly enough time to hang out, tho.
