Remember When I Wasn’t Sick & Twisted? Also, Valentine's Day

[redbrunja]

Do you know what not to read for ‘just for a few minutes’ before going  to bed, especially when you should be asleep already?

Godchild.

Man, Godchild is twisted. Talk about a wacked-out creepy manga. Drugging a father so he kills his daughter? He was already a psycho, but that’s pushing it. And Cain, were you really that annoyed that she was coming on to you?

Mainly I feel sorry for Mary- can you imagine going from living on the streets telling fortunes to being locked up in a mansion having deportment lessons? At least Leonie got to fence. Mary has a great name, though.

I feel dirty even saying this, but am I the only one picking up incesty vibes between her and Cain? His possessiveness, the fact that a lolita complex was mentioned in the third panel after we first met her, and the, frankly, really disturbing conversation that ended the chapter....

 “My feelings might something that could engulf you in flames” and “I don’t mind if I have to be a bird trapped in cage, I want to be trapped inside your love.”

 I'm like.... I haven’t seen a brother so attached to his sister since Hakkai and we all know how that turned out. Adding in that Cain is a child of incest himself, and I’m forcibly restraining myself from making a ‘keeping it in the family’ joke.

And now, in a complete change of tone,

Valentine’s Day Meme!

Pick a couple and a prompt from behind the cut, and I’ll write you a drabble.

I know how the busy goes. I'll just have to lurk aroung and pounce when you have free time again.

Good luck with the clichés! I think it would be fun- since you're stating right out that it's a cliche, you get to wallow in the awesome so-badness.

oh i'll be here.

I'm working on the awesome badness right now. The Cliche is 'I hate you so much' cue the hawt improbable sex. You can probably even guess which of the four i'd chose for this one

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

I'm going to guess the bed is going to be filled with a redhead, a blond, and lots of swearing. ^_^ And possibly bullets.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

you'd be a good guesser (though since i have to use all 4 technically I have to get creative with what I do with the other two)

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Yeah, if you could just mix and match it would be relatively easy- I wonder how you're going to get the other two in. Although it shouldn't be too hard to get them all nice and annoyed at each other.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

sometimes the fourth gets a little left out in these things. call it artistic license. I have it done. now to polish it

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Poor Goku. When ever I see Saiyuki OT3 fics I always feel for the poor monkey who's left out.

Good luck with the polishing!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

awww. well you might be happy with this then

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm actually probably not going to read it since I'm not a fan of slash, but I'm sure it's awesome.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no problem.i only do slash in two places since i dont much like it either. Working on the gen fic one now

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

squeeeeee!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

the end of it is finished. It has no middle. I think I need to slap that monkey around a little. This is all his fault

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Slapping the monkey seems to be what everone in that show does, so you'll fit right in.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes I think Hakkai's about the only one who doesn't abuse poor Goku. Even in the gaidens he doesnt' catch a break

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Goku's kind of the whipping boy. But at least he gets to hit Goyjo back.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

which he does seem to enjoy

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Yes, he does. Also, I love the icon.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks (forget which one it is)

might be posting that gen fic sooner than expected

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

I think is was the one with Hakkai and Goyjo in chains. *takes a moment*

I can't wait for that gen fic.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'm debating starting it as a wip. I DO finish those but some times it takes me a while. This will not be a short fic. looks...heck the first two chapters are 20 pages alone

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Wow. I'm impressed. That's a high word count. (But, oh, I can't wait for the Saiyuki goodness!)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

believe me, have trouble writing anything under 10K. It's always been a problem in selling my original shorts. I can't even tell you how many of my Fullmetal Alchemist stuff are over 50K
