Aaaaah, the cat talks!
Feb. 8th, 2005 09:01 pmBleach 18. They left Ishida! <3 And the dorkiness was delicious, I laughed so hard. I'm sooo going to by based on that mental picture when Watanuki and Spinel meet in the London plot bunny...
I posted Odd Family and my first "kiss" atthe pit ff.net, just for the heck of it. I'll contribute to the expantion of Clow/Yuuko to the ignorant and/or not!LJer masses [insert evil laugh]
I started reading a new manga of the terror genre: D.Gray-Man. The art is so bizarre, the plot is good. It's sort of mixing Fullmetal Alchemist with Chrno Crusade, but weirder and creepier. It's about exorcists and apocalypse.
Let's hit the next rant. You're still on time to get a rant by me about any subject. Just tell me about it and I will. I need an excuse for procrastination!

laurus_nobilis, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff stereotypes:
Well, I think it's Jo's fault. If you write something from a character's point of view, you see the world from his/her eyes. So if the character has limited relationships to certain aspects, or if s/he's biased, that's gonna be reflected. Harry is a Gryffindor, so we just keep seeing them 24/7. And Rowling herself insists that, from all the houses' qualities, she values courage the most. 90% of the "bad guys" are from Slytherin, so the other (badly done) spotlight is for them. They're also seeing from an outsider's point of view, so it's a distortioned mirror, or we hope it is. Because the "Slyths are all mean or evil" cliché is fully supported by canon, but I digress. Going further, I don't think Gryffs are saints either. They're proud and full of themselves, at least the mayority. But I'm digressing again.
The point is, with all the attention to the main character's house and its rival, there's no place to meet the other two houses (because THERE ARE more houses) like we should be. As a result, 3/4 of the fans want to be either on G or S, since the others seem crappy and not-so-hip. And the bullshit and bashing begins.
( Badger, bagder, mushroom, mushroom )
( Lust without measure... )
Gaaaah, this was so long!
