Wild Mass Guessing!

Today I plan to tell you all some terrible theroeis I have made up-

Black Bird- Misao is just going along with the whole marry a tengu plan as she thinks being sexually abused by some guy she has vague childhood memories of is better than being raped and then killed. After Kyo rescues her in vol 1, he notes that things will get a lot worse without his protection.

Fruits Basket- Shigure executed a successful Hikaru Genji plan. Shigure is depicted in flashbacks as comforting Akito, and kissing and giving a flower to little Akito in a slightly inappropriate way. Akito is depicted as saying that Shigure was kind, like her father. Could Shigure have been playing on her warm feelings from her childhood crush to get them together? Probably.

Code Geass- Lelouch and C.C. have had sex. No evidence. Just wishful thinking

Oh God!

I cheerfully bought Black Bird volume 2 innocently wondering "I wonder if Kyo and Misao will ever have sex". I read it and ended up going D: D: D: literally. Kyo's brother is too horrible to seal away forever- I can see him doing horrible traumatizing things to everyone for many volumes to come. And I'll be buying just to go OH MY GOD! THEY DIDN'T JUST PRINT THAT IN A BOOK WHERE OLD PEOPLE AND CHURCH LADIES CAN READ IT!!!!

Really?!

Disney will start making 2d films again because of the Princess and The Frog? Awesome. There's just something about 2d animation... maybe a 'warmth' to it that you can't get with even amazing 3d animation such as Kung Fu Panda.

Complaining About Tropes You Don't Like

Really folks, renaming Colony Drop is not necessary. A peeve of mine is that some folks want to rename every single anime reference on the wiki. Now, some references are opaque and silly. I wouldn't name a trope The Shigure to refer to a character that has a fetish for sticking his dick in the crazy, as even many Fruits Basket fans[i.e. the anime only ones] have no idea that he loves sticking his dick in the crazy.

We don't want to be as obscure as that, but part of the fun of the wiki is learning new stuff. I don't know who Xanatos is, but I managed to learn by reading the description. Clarity in titles is good, but we shouldn't eliminate all character or work inspired trope names, or anything that refers to anime or manga. The sort of person who hasn't heard of Discworld or needs excessive explanation to understand what a Colony Drop might be probably isn't the sort of person who reads tvtropes.

Type A and B

I'm type A simply because I find it very hard to be interested in characters that nothing ever happens to. It's way easier to appreciate the finer points of character if they are facing the Big Bad, dealing with their crush on Susie Q or in general doing something other than being "The Token Loli", "The Tall One" or "The Booblicious One". There's only so much moe and wacky hijinks I can take before screaming WILL SOMETHING PLEASE HAPPEN?!

Josei Thoughts

As I've been reading Hotaru No Hikari and sighing that only 5 volumes are translated out of the 15, I've been thinking that josei titles are more likely to become dramas than anime. Hotaru no Hikari, Kimi Wa Pet[Tramps Like Us], Happy Mania... all of those have become dramas. Nodame no Cantible was an anime though... I guess maybe a drama would be more popular with their demographic.

Too bad the demographic of manga in the US hasn't grown as much. As a mid twenties woman, I want less panty shots and more josei...

Snagged!

Snagged one of the last preorders of Book 4 of Templar Arizona. *pleased*
