Journey into Mystery

Awright! Twistasa Retconvoir Chronicle is OVER! Let's have a party! Let's point out the million plotholes, or wank, or squee, or whatever! Doesn't matter if you hate it or love it, let's just celebrate they got on with it.

So, play them off, keyboard cat.



((♪ BGM ♫))

Me, I'm just. Surprised they decided to make everything I used to dig about the series pop out in the epilogue, like saying "hey, remember when you gave a fuck about this country? and there was few angst? and you shipped this? and you shipped that? and you didn't roll your eyes with this guy? yeah, for old times' sake, have them all, sort of there".

CLAMP? A little too late for my brand of fanservice, but I kinda find the irony amusing so. You get a funny fail gif with a kitten intead of a fail macro, for the effort.

I wanted a wankier ending, though. I even bought microwave popcorn, man. Then again, the lack of twists might be a twist itself.

1. You know, I wouldn't trust an English (as a foreign language) academy whose ads offer "conversation clases". If this was a typo or Murphy's law at work, I feel sorry for them. But spelling errors are kind of a big deal here to make an impression.

2. ...Mom, normally girls have virtual pets online when they're fifteen top, not fifty. I swear her internet usage is going backwards. And she doesn't even like the pet that much, she's just doing it because her Facebook contacts are pimping their horrid pets' houses and she got jealous since she's a competitive bitch. I wouldn't mind this much if me liking manga and videogames was childish, but throwing a fit because she can't afford a bed for her ugly SD cat on Pet Society wasn't. WTF.

You can't leave her near casual games. Seriously. Talk about addictive personality.

3. My brothers have a bunch of strange books from when they were kids; some are bought by them, some are presents from a cousin of ours. I think they didn't even read a quarter of them. I was looking at them last night. While most of them are Goosebumps books and the like, I spotted a crappy-looking sci-fi-esque series with the following titles:

- Clónicos integrados (integrated clones)
- Tiempo pirateado (hacked/pirated time)
- El código chino (the Chinese code)

...Dude, is Fei Wang Reed secretly a children's book author? O_o Either way, they look way too crappy to read for the lulz.

4. Apparently, my iPod's shuffle function really likes Unintended by Muse. Last week it played it twice, but attention! Because it did in the way back home, on the bus, and while we were crossing around the same area. That's freaky.

( The only spoilery part for 211 )

Now, a way to make the last two pages funnier: to mentally substitute Syaoran's name-calling at the end with KHAAAAAAAAAAN!. It's hilarious scary hilarious how much it fits XDDDD;

1. I just got hooked to the American comic Fables. It's amazing how this can cater to my plot AND one-shot needs at the same freaking time. I love the whole mythos, the modern take on fairytales and stories -how it brings reality without dropping fantasy altogether-, and I especially enjoy the awesomeness of secondary/minor characters. I can't count the amount of times I went "fuck yeah [insert random character here]!" It's pretty good.

2. By the way, where do people download full scans of comic books, like one does with manga? I have no idea, and the way torrents handle them (like, uploading every weekly release, I think?) looks confusing. Because from a certain point, the Spaniard scans from translated volumes finished, and the scanlations are truly HORRID. So it's time to hit the original language, but I'm not into the comics fandom and don't know where to turn.

Incidentally, Western comics are so fucking expensive here, especially Vertigo series. The hell I'm paying 11-12€ for these.

3. Oh look, the deluxe cover for TRC 23. The one with Fujitaka.

*opens it*

*looks for brain-breaking*

*can't see nothing wrong. just sexy*

Whoa! It's been ages since I got this good brand of fanservice from these people! *gives single cookie to CLAMP. not more because she had seen the HOLiC schedule until December*

4. I want Peony/Jade fanart and fanfic so badly, but I don't know where to look for it. At least quality ones. Or recs. Or something.

Here we go again, Tsubasa. Because being a CLAMP fan is kind of like being a Star Wars fan, in a way. You must love to hate them and hate to love them. You coo at the same time you whine.

( BAD CLAMP, NO BISCUIT! )

Please remind me my decision not to apply for more RP characters. B-because this reminded me I want to play Soel like burning. W-we have a Clow and all ;; And the whole main TRC cast, and a Yuuko. It would be so frigging cute! UNLIKE YOU, CLAMP.

And my AJ mood theme is back, and so are my icon posts, since my domain is back online :3 Woot!

ETA: Bunny comic did a Poirot parody.

Gah, my internet connection sucks from last night. I'll try to reply to emails and RP threads through the day. Last day of catsitting, BTW.

( TRC spoilers? )

But anyway, the BEST PART: ( the XXXHOLiC Kei drama, aka HAY GAYS, YOU CAN HAS MOAR CLOW REED )

I've been trying to post this for an hour now. Stupid modem.

And of course, as soon as the computer problems end...

...THE BACK/NECK PROBLEMS RISE AGAIN LIKE A ZOMBIE. A PAINFULLY SHARP-TEETH ZOMBIE.

So I'll be MIA for some time. I'm taking a break from the computer. Like, I only popped in to tell you not to expect RP replies from me today (damn, and I really wanted to go on with the epic Tamaki cross-examination).

But really, it's a good thing the pending manga chapters were out today. I already talked about FMA 83 ♥

But I have to add something in regards of TRC 190: ( this time not that wanky )
