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!

I have been in fandom too long, because that sentence makes total sense to me.

It's like the old adage about the only sane response to an insane world being insanity. And I filled a wtf27 prompt, too!

What a great com! Just reading the prompts made me giggle.

It's absolutely wonderful. I've had a lot of fun there.

And I really should get to work on one of my plotbunnies for it . . .

I'll probably do that com sometime when I have a really good fandom for it. Actually, FMA or Supernatural would fit nicely....

The very best part? You don't need to claim a fandom. You can do any fandom you want for each individual claim; I've been doing Fables for some, but also got in the PotC/Care Bears fic.

You know, I just see the words 'PotC/Care Bears fic' and my brain implodes a little.

Check it out (http://community.livejournal.com/mollyscribbles/5902.html). It's not as bad as it sounds, I promise. I think Jack's response to meeting a Care Bear is entirely realistic.
