more Yami no Matsuei

[rm]

Okay, so Yami no Matsuei...

It's like every single fandom id moment wrapped up into one story. Like... HOW CAN THIS BE REAL?

I just in all sincerity said to Patty "So let me get this straight, there's this evil dude who wants to fuck this guy who works for the death ministry so he raped this 13-year-old and put a spell on him to kill him so he could wind up being that dude's partner at the death ministry. So then he kidnaps the kid to lure the dude he wants to bang to him, and gets pissed when the dude is more into the now 16-year-old than him. WHAT THE FUCK HOW DOES THIS EVEN EXIST?"

Patty says, "not quite. The thing with the kid was sort of coincidental, but now it's an issue."

Me: "And if you are partners with someone at the death ministry, you just go 'OF COURSE I SHOULD BANG MY WORK COLLEAGUES, THAT"S A GREAT IDEA!!'"

Patty: "Yeah."

Me: "THIS IS FANDOM'S ID. I now understand every weird trope I've ever seen in any fandom where I'm like WHY WHY WHY IS THIS HAPPENING."

Patty: "Yeah."

Me: "Also, what's with the owl?"

Yes, what is with the owl?

Seconded!

Also, ugh. Am I the only one who loathes Muraki? Most fangirls I've seen love him and hate Hisoka.

[kessie.livejournal.com]

Ah, YnM. Those were good days. :)

[p-zeitgeist.livejournal.com]

Well, some of us love him and love Hisoka even more. Do we count?

[puella-nerdii.livejournal.com]

And this, in short, is why we watch anime. *grins* Seriously, though, there's something idtastic about a lot of the medium, whether it's the overpowered beat-'em-up antics of a number of shonen titles or, well, YnM. (And if you think Yami no Matsuei is too idtastic to be real, let me tell you about CLAMP...)

I do not like Muraki. At all. Poor Hisoka.

[bodlon.livejournal.com]

Hetalia might make more sense than this.

That should concern you enormously.

[ldybastet.livejournal.com]

No, not alone. I guess the people who loathes Muraki are just rather quiet about it? ;)

[ldybastet.livejournal.com]

I love hearing your reactions to this. You're watching it through a completely different filter than I was. It's cool. I sort of want to be a fly on the wall and be there while you watch. ;)

"Maple-Hockey!"

[booknerdguru.livejournal.com]

...yeeeeah. That is concerning.

*says something indistinguishable through a mouthful of cheeseburger*

[akycha.livejournal.com]

I... haven't run into anyone who hates Hisoka. How can anyone hate Hisoka? He's so believably messed up!

Of course, my interaction with fan communities tends to be limited.

I always thought the owl was the mangaka's... personal avatar, or something? Sneaky self-insert.

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

There's two owls. They're twins.

*ducks and runs away* Don't look at this too closely. That way lies madness.
