not my fandom shenanigans

[rm]

I do not have animation receptor sites. But Patty made me watch some of Yami no Matsuei last night, to which my reactions are as follows:

- Is that a boy or a girl?
- One of the one's with glasses is totally cute
- CINNABON!
- I can hear the keyboards clicking! (obvious pairings are obvious)
- Hey, is that Lucius Malfoy?
- "The mouth is the source of all disaster!"

So the adventure shall continue.

Ohhh, Yami no Matsuei. CLASSIC. :D Seriously, it was one of my first "big" fandoms, and I still hold I special place in my heart for it, despite the wackiness. ;P

Here's a rec, in case you wanted to check it out: Cropped Scan Theatre. She essentially rewrites the Yami no Matsuei manga and makes it hilarious.

And perfectly, devastatingly accurate at the same time. I was proud to be able to do the rec for it back when I did either my crack_van or my try_this_fic reccer-of-the-month gig (obviously, I no longer remember which it was).

Also, our hostess is not the first to notice the Malfoy resemblance. I still treasure the strangefandom assessment of the series, based on viewing two AMVs with no previous knowledge of the source at all, that read, "Okay so remember the internet from, oh, about 1999 - 2006? And how it was nothing but fangirls who were convinced that Draco Malfoy was really awesome and misunderstood and abused and just really really really needed a ride on Harry Potter's cock in order to turn it all around? Well apparently they've been busy, because they went and made a whole anime about him. OH COME ON, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON HERE. We have some gaunt dude with messy dark hair [coughHarrycough] who runs around in a trench coat after a tall, pale dude with white hair and an earring. A fucking EARRING, come ON, Draco fangirls, I KNOW THIS IS YOUR DOING."

Wow. I hadn't seen this before. It is almost identical to the actual manga. XD
