*deep heavy sigh*

Yeah, yeah, I knooooowwww...
I'm totally a lazy ass and ditch you guys to play video games... (Kingdom Hearts 385/2 Days and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of the Sky, in case you're wondering what Kibi's playing.)
But!

I have returned briefly to say happy late Halloween and early Thanksgiving~! :D

................ I really just needed an excuse to yammer to you all again. I've missed it through my past months of non-stop video games, as well as the horrible days of school.
It's been hard to keep going, really...
So give me encouragement!!
School is hard, and we all need to share our stories of crappy crappy crap to make each other feel better! YES!!

So comment with your school stories, and we'll catch up. ^^
Got crazy teachers? A strangely sexual laboratory lesson? A strangely sexual English novel to analyze? A strangely sexual essay topic?
Uhh.... No. I'm not saying I've had those things.... (*shifty eyes* I totally have. *shifty eyes* .... Mrs. Stiles, TWO FROGS DOING IT, Samurai's Garden, and the topic of numerous love novels and the way love is represented.)

But if YOU have, tell Kibi all about it! ('Cause she seriously misses all her watchers out there... *puppy dog eyes*)
------
In a most recent topic, I have YET AGAIN jumped on another bandwagon extremely late. ^^;
And that one is...
Kingdom Hearts.

*groans from the audience*

C-come on, guys!! I know it's kind of... old...
But I pretty much just discovered it after, on a whim, asking my mum to buy me the DS game (Reminder: the only video game system Kibi owns is a Nintendo DS... and a broken Gameboy SP.). I had never played the "mainstream" games, but 385/2 Days intrigued me so much that I went ahead and caught myself up on the storyline...

And I'm in love with it.
Yet another Square Enix creation. (Those guys are THE BEST.)

It's inventive, dramatic...
And it has the first boss fight that I CRIED during.
DURING THE FIGHT. IT WAS SO EFFING SAD. DDD:

*chokes back a sob*

.... Anyways.
I've begun making a Roxas cosplay.
Yeah. Seriously.
Wig and everything.

My mum and I made the overcoat and the undershirt (with the zipper attachment made of clay LOL). Next up are the pants, and finally the wig styling.
HURR HURR, OF COURSE I'LL BE POSTING PICTURES PSHAH.

BTW, this is probably the first Disney-related thing I've actually felt emotionally attached to.
... Other than... ya know...
Shrek or something.
-----
So, that's the news in Kibitown...
Oh! And that Soul Eater is so PAINFULLY BORING right now that I won't be commenting on the last two chapters.... Because I found them PAINFULLY BORING.
Sorry, Kilik...

And also...
I read Samurai's Garden for school...
The entire book is extremely depressing, boring, exceedingly descriptive of Japan, and totally has a paragraph-long steamy sex scene. OUT OF NOWHERE.
I didn't even notice what it was until I realized the phrases "hard", "someplace soft to hide", and "breasts".
............. Yeah. I was slow, okay?!

*cough*
Yeah.... So that's it. Aha.
Remember to comment because I'm desperately lonely. DDD:

Hey, everyone I've been neglecting for the past month and a half!
*waves*
*eyes flicker*

If you're wondering why I've been ignoring all your nice comments and replies (which I know you weren't), it's because I was attacked by.... A MONSTER!!
*eyes shoot out beams of light*

Yes... Yes, it was long, like a snake! B-but its body was like paper full of string... I got tangled in the string after chasing what I thought was a SoulxMaka hentai doujinshi...
BUT IT WAS A TRAP!!
Then, I was in its stomach. And it had a big hooded face... Like a lantern or something! And it had a scary doll's face...
And... and...
I NEVER GOT MY HENTAI!!!
*eyes flicker*

But using my keen intelligence and a large knife (which I had for... reasons), I cut myself out of the string, and ripped open the monster's stomach!
Then I used what was left of my strength (since it was trying to take my soul, which is tiring ya know) to rush back here and tell of you about it!!

*regains composure*
Now, as much as I would love that story to be true and all... and since it really is realistic...

No...
Nothing exciting.
Just school.

Readers: :iconshotplz:

I, of course, since nothing ever works out the way I want it to, had to start school several weeks earlier than everyone else. Thus, I've been in school this whole time, and it's been one big blob of depression, loneliness, and irritation...

So my mum was all, "Oh, Kibi! I'll take you to go see that new... uh... movie you've been wanting to see since the beginning of summer. It'll be something to look forward to."

And I was all, ":iconiloveitplz: 9?! OMIGOSH HOLY CRAP YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS," or something to that extent.

So after waiting another month...
We went to see it today, opening night, since I'm so spoiled.

And, well...
It wasn't what I expected.
Or... what anyone expected I think.

Now this movie was something to see...

The animation, of course, is stellar, and creates a big ball of eye candy to any mindless movie-goer (me included). Everything in the movie is made with love and what seems like AGES of work (based on how many details there were in everything), and little scenes are made with such inventive thoughts in mind (the way 3 and 4 communicate, 8 and the magnet [you'll notice it when and if you see the film... hint: it's a somewhat obvious metaphor for wanking], every single monster [The Seamstress was the one I fought bravely], and the sheer scale-to-scale comparisons within the setting [I didn't even know the Stitchpunks were that tiny, based on the previews]).

Characters are well-developed (though 6 could have had some more depth... maybe the twins too) and likable...

Now you're saying to yourself...
"But, Kibi! It couldn't have been all good, could it...? Though it might be true, based on other reviews I've seen online..."
Now that's the interesting part, my friends...

I've read the several reviews that are online right now... And none of them mention any hint of the depth of the story.

For me, the course of the movie was...
Entering: I'M SO EXCITED!!
First minutes: THIS IS AWESOME.
Later: OMIGOD!!! *is scared during action scenes*
Laterer: Uhhh.... Did... Did they just... make a religious reference...?
Latererer: Wait... Is this... I'm... I just don't know what to think...
Even laterer: Um... Now that's just going too far, Acker...
End of movie: ............... I'm disappointed. I... The message is... *sigh* *discusses with mum*
After discussion: I LOVED THAT MOVIE!!!

Yeah. It blew my mind.
It was... It was like a movie that had to be looked into in depth to be truly appreciated.

Now, to explain...

During the film, I felt a little bit offended in some scenes because of what reached me as blatant religious overtones (the characters taking refuge in a church, and mainly the ending scene), however, at the same time there were a lot of science-supporting sections of the movie (the machines, the characters, etc.), and while watching, I felt a little bit sick to my stomach.
How could this movie be throwing so many overtones at me?
THIS IS LIKE KNOWING ALL OVER AGAIN!!! (Now that movie was rip out my throat, take off my head, spit in my neck offensive... Oh, and it also proverbially set me on FIRE.)

But then, when I though about it a bit (during the credits), I started to grasp what seemed to be the real meaning of the movie...
A deeper meaning that I actually believe myself... That all of the thoughts and ideas of the world should work together for the greater good. Each of the characters even seem to represent a different era of thinking- 1 seems to be almost like a church leader, 2 is an inventor striving for new creations, 3 and 4 are keepers of history, 7 and 8 seem to be different variations on warlike figures (7 being meticulous and quick, as well as caring and protective, 8 being domineering, slow, and somewhat thoughtless. This is also interesting in that 8 was created after 7, which may be Acker's way of saying that our ways of war have become more 8-like and accordingly brutish.), and 9 seems to represent what could be a future thinking, one that bands together everyone else to aim for the better of the world.

And these deeper meanings go along with other ideas that are subtly slipped into the script.
For example, there is a scene when 9 is told to return to where he was "born" (stitched, assembled, etc.), where he finds the Scientist's body (who died giving him "the spark of life"), along with several design blueprints for the machines and the Stitchpunks. When 9 tries to get a better look at his own design blueprints, a gust of wind carries the paper away. Metaphor, anyone?
Or after the highlight battle, 3 and 4 (recall keepers of history) find a record of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", along with several portraits of famous icons. Now... The concept that some icons will never die.
And that the Stitchpunks' souls are sucked out through their eyes?
And the collision of machinery and the soul?

This film is full of metaphors, and it really saddens me to think that the majority of the audience went into the theater to see a mindless action flick. All the meaning that can be extracted from 9 will just go right over their heads.
Or maybe everyone is smarter than I think. I, after all, am the most cynical person all of you know, I'm sure.

And this is where we feel a need for film analysis classes. But... since most of you don't have one available...
There's me.
I'm of course not the best, and far from professional, but I thought I'd just share.
It's what the internet is for after all.

Now then...
I'll start coming on dA a little more often so I can answer your comments and such...
It'll brighten my day after that horrid school. (And I'm only a Sophomore... Pshh.)

"Does it Take Aliens to Make You Cry?"

Mon Aug 17, 2009, 11:14 PM
  • Mood: Overwhelmed
  • Listening to: "Welcome Home"-Coheed and Cambria
  • Reading: Soul Eater 64
  • Watching: District 9

  • Eating: the fur Nana is shedding
  • Drinking: water
Quoth my older sister as we exit the movie theater after seeing District 9.
[The following is a lengthy somewhat serious review of the movie District 9. Don't like it? Don't read.]

Now, I've mentioned in some of my past, much more angsty and depressing journals that I have rarely cried until this year, where, apparently due to my transition to high school, systematic killing of childhood dreams, and my watching of Soul Eater, the emotional barriers I had kept up for my years and years as a child have been pushed over, kicked, torn down, broken, spat on, insulted, drowned, yelled at repeatedly, stabbed, hung, strangled, killed by means of genetic experimentation, shot in the face by a chest gun (Damn you, Gopher. You go straight to Hell please.), shat on by numerous seagulls crying "CAAAWW CAAWWWW" as they swoop down and...

......... What was I talking about.....?

Oh. Well...
All those synonyms intend to tell you that my emotional barriers are gone. Ist kaput. For some strange reason.
Now I seem to cry at the drop of a hat, or what might seem to be the drop of a hat.

While I cry a lot more often than I used to, it still does take a lot for me to cry.
I mean... One time was from OVERWHELMING physical pain, one for an unjust grade I got on a report I worked very hard on (for a change... I'm never trying hard again, let me tell you...), and one last time due to a combined CRAPTASTIC month (my dog ran away and never came back, I had a shitload of projects to do without any partners to help me, got extremely humiliated due to a class play gone wrong, had fights with all my friends, got yelled at my my mum because I had gone into a slight depression, and the list goes on...)...
The weakest of the year was when a cried during an episode of Soul Eater, this, of course, being the episode Crona joins the good guys. But I don't really count this seeing as I usually exaggerate my reaction for effect. In reality, my eyes watered a bit, and that was it. (I normally tell people I sobbed. xDDD Which... I was in my head, but not physically.)

But never before has a movie made me cry in the theater.

And the movie to make me do this for the first time, much to my surprise, was District 9.

Now I usually make a huge deal about how much I dislike movies about horrific events that have happened in our past (ex. Holocaust, World War II, amongst the most common), because they are movies that are said to "change your life", but when I watch them, they just make me feel depressed and make me lost hope for humanity, which I believe is a terrible thing for a movie to do.
Do I hate these movies? No, not exactly. I believe it's important for us to learn about the things we have done in the past to right the future... But do I enjoy watching these movies? No. Not at all.

Now I should have foreseen that District 9 would be one of these movies... And I think I did a little. I just didn't quite expect the terrible story that would be told throughout the movie.

BEWARE!!! SPOILERS FOLLOW BELOW!!!
SCROLL DOWN WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!
---------
---------
---------
---------
---------
So the story introduces us to the main character, Wikus, and the MNU organization that he works for, apparently built upon the welfare of the alien species that have landed on Earth years prior to the film's intro.
The intro is made as if it is a documentary about the MNU's operations involving relocating the aliens (called "Prawns", a derogatory term that both describes the aliens' appearance but also gives off a reference to them being "bottom feeders", reminiscent to, oh, I dunno, every slang racist term ever created) from District 9, the slums that house millions of Prawns (reminiscent to both concentration camps during the Holocaust, and the result of the race wars that have been going on in Africa for pretty much as long as anyone can remember).

After some intriguingly ironic scenes of the Prawns engaging in numerous gang behaviors (trading alien weaponry for cat food [which is kind of an equivalent to drugs for the Prawns, again, reminiscent to drug trading in Mexico], graffiti, and cock-fighting using strange-looking scorpion-like alien creatures in place of roosters), Wikus and a team of MNU operatives explore District 9, giving out eviction notices to several Prawns, demanding that they prepare to leave District 9 for "the better, more construct" District 10 (also reminiscent of the Holocaust again, as well as some hints at relocations of Native American tribes to reservations back in the day).

Along their merry, government-endorsed way, they decide to yell at some Prawns for no reason, beat them up for a good measure, SHOOT ONE IN THE FUCKING FACE, and BURN SOME BABY PRAWNS ALIVE for sheer enjoyment.
Lovely.
As well as reminiscent to... EVERY SINGLE HATE CRIME EVER.

Oh, and then Wikus yells at a baby Prawn and threatens to take him away from his father, a Prawn named Christopher (?). (Maybe a shot at Child Protective Services? It's ABOUT FUCKING TIME.)
In a scene not shot by the documentary cameras, Christopher and his son are shown collecting a strange fluid from metallic things found around the slums. They keep it in a cylinder, which is later found by Wikus while he is investigating their shack.
When he messes around with it, it sprays him with a black liquid, and causes him to become extremely ill.
To make matter worse for this douchebag, some explosion happens and his arm gets injured. Of course, the black liquid seems to use his injury as a way into his body, and he begins to transform into a Prawn himself. (Reminiscent to that one episode of the Twilight Zone. Yeah, I'm kind of kidding. Kind of...)

So much of the first half of the movie is focused on Wikus undergoing metamorphosis, which is REVOLTING. He first just throws up for a few minutes...
Then he starts vomiting enormous amounts of black fluid, his fingernails start to bleed and fall off (He begins to get fed up and bites them off. Gross.), his teeth fall out, and his arm becomes that of a Prawn.
(As the movie progresses, he also develops spines along the sides of his back, one of which he pulls out of his skin verrrryyyyy slowly and painfully as he starts to cry in agony and I start to also puke up black fluid due to being so disgusted.)

So for this half of the movie, I'm disgusted. It's bearable, and I'm not crying yet.

The rest of the movie focuses on Wikus joining up with Christopher in hopes of getting technology necessary to revert Wikus' metamorphosis. (And he's also on the run from MNU, who have told the public via media that Wikus is a fugitive wanting for having sexual relations with Prawns, which, of course, is disgusting and a crime in this future. In fact, MNU is tracking him for purposes of using him as a medical experiment. Part of the first half is them succeeding, cutting open his arm, torturing him via pain reaction tests, and forcing him to kill several innocent Prawns as a test of whether or not he can operate alien weaponry with his new arm. He can.)
This part of the movie is graphically and exceedingly violent, heart-renchingly sad, and give a feeling of utter and complete hopelessness.

Wikus tries to get weapons from some underground Africans that rule District 9, who, naturally, lie that they will give him weapons for money. They take his money, then try to cut off his arm to eat it so they can "absorb his power". (Which is HIGHLY reminiscent to what is actually happening in Africa NOW-- Albinos are rumored to possess powers, and witch doctors in Africa often kill albinos for their body parts and sell them on the black market. Albinos that aren't killed this way go on to be discriminated against in African society. OH, THE IRONY.)

Wikus and Christopher infiltrate MNU's headquarters in search of the cylinder (that can operate the Mothership), which ends in Christopher discovering the medical experiment room where Wikus was kept previously, and being frozen in horror after seeing a mutilated corpse of a Prawn, nearly resulting in him getting killed by MNU agents until he is brought back to his senses by remembering that he has a son to take care of.

This is when my lip started shaking...

Wikus and Christopher get the cylinder, but Christopher gravely explains that he can't cure Wikus' condition until after 3 years of technological workings. In his rage, Wikus beats Christopher over the head until he collapses. Wikus returns to their hideout beneath the shack, where he finds Christopher's son, who immediately asks where his father is.

This is when I started crying.
And I didn't stop until the end of the movie.

Christopher turns out to be alive after the beating, but is captured by MNU.

More crying for me...

Wikus takes the cylinder and Christopher's son to an aircraft that will take them to the Mothership. It works, and the aircraft flies off toward its destination.... and gets shot down by MNU. Wikus is pulled out of the ship by some jerkass operative (the same one who shot a Prawn in the face at the beginning of the movie). Wikus, however, doesn't tell MNU that Christopher's son is still onboard, and he prepares to operate the craft himself.

Still crying...

MNU's truck is destroyed by those underground Africans (led by an extremely freaky old guy in a wheelchair... how the hell did he get into power?), who then remind Wikus that they promised they'd eat his arm and whatnot...
Meanwhile, Christopher's son turns on the aircraft, which apparently awakens all alien technology in the surrounding area, including a huge robot seen near the beginning of the movie. The robot is programmed to kill humans and protect Prawns, and thus shoots the Africans into smithereens. It approaches Wikus and opens up to reveal a cockpit, which Wikus quickly steps into.

Sniffling. Not really crying anymore, but is ready to do more.

Wikus, operating the robot, goes and saves Christopher, killing many of the MNU operatives. The two head toward the aircraft to meet with the son, but Wikus, having been shot repeatedly, weakening the robot's armor, is unable to go forward. Wikus tells Christopher to go without him. Christopher refuses at first, and says that they have to stay together to live. Wikus continues to insist, and Christopher finally leaves upon remembering his child. He promises Wikus that he will return to Earth in 3 years, to return Wikus to his human condition.

And just like that, I'm crying again.
God, Wikus... I hate you one moment, and want you to live the next...

Christopher runs off, and Wikus is left to fight off the MNU operatives, being completely SHOWERED with bullets. The robot's armor is starting to give way, and the bullets start to injure Wikus. He continues to fight them, screaming his head off, despite friggin' waterfalls of blood seeping out of the doors to the cockpit. The robot finally breaks down, and Wikus falls out of it, making one last attempt to escape by dragging himself away from the wreckage. Jerkass operative dood packing heat goes up to Wikus and taunts him before putting a gun to his head. Just as Wikus is about to be killed, several Prawns jump out from the surrounding slums and, understanding Wikus' aim, come to his aide. Jerkass guy shoots several of them dead, and the others pull him limb from limb. Wikus watches with one human eye, and a recently transformed Prawn eye.

MORE CRYING.
SO VIOLENT AND FULL OF VISUAL METAPHORS.

Christopher makes it to the craft, and, reiterating a previous line, his son asks if they're going home. Christopher, who would usually respond with "no" or "not yet", says "yes" as they reach the Mothership and begin to operate it. The movie takes place in Johannesburg (I forgot to mention that), and crowds and crowds of people from the city flood the streets and watch as the Mothership takes off into the sky.

Little bit corny, but I'm already so emotional and start crying again...

The last of the movie is of the conclusion of the documentary, stating that Wikus' fate is unknown, but many have speculated that he was captured by MNU. Knowledge of his story and the horrors of MNU are spreading the world.
The Prawns have been mostly relocated to District 10, which now houses millions of Prawns.
A clip filmed before the whole incident is shown, with Wikus displaying a photograph of his wife to the camera. She's wearing a wedding dress, and the sun is reflecting over her hair like a halo. Wikus comments giddily that while everyone says their wife is an angel, his wife really is one, and it is a real photograph of a real angel.
Another film clip is shown of Wikus' wife reflecting on their life before the incident. She goes over heaps of crafty things Wikus has made for her over their married years, and takes out a flower made of metal. She tells the camera that she found it on her doorstep after Wikus was rumored to be captured. She says that it couldn't have possibly been made by Wikus, but she can't force herself to throw it away.

The last shot of the movie is of a Prawn with a bandaged arm crafting a flower out of scrap metal.

END OF SPOILERS.
YOU CAN LOOK NOW.

AND FOUNTAINS COME OUT OF MY EYES LIKE FIREWORKS!!!
:iconsadplz:

Now did I like this movie? Well... It's hard to explain.
When a movie makes a person as emotionally involved as it did for me, you're kind of torn between whether it was painful to watch, or was worth it... If that makes any sense to anyone.
And apparently, I was the only one that felt this way about this movie.

My sister, who has never seen me cry since I was a toddler, was completely stunned that I was crying so much. She cries CONSTANTLY at movies, but she didn't cry at all during this movie (and didn't understand how emotional the movie made me), while I cried BUCKETS.

Have any of you had an experience like this? And has anyone else seen it so I can talk more about it?

As for those annoyed by this journal's length and spoilers...
:iconfuckuplz:
Just kidding, I love you guys...
Just please don't complain.
When I feel emotionally involved with something, I write about it. Wouldn't you?

Soul Eater 64- Kibi Dies a Little Bit Inside

Sat Aug 15, 2009, 8:28 AM
  • Mood: Not Impressed
  • Listening to: "Welcome Home"-Coheed and Cambria
  • Reading: Soul Eater 64
  • Watching: Nana
  • Playing: with Nana
  • Eating: the fur Nana is shedding
  • Drinking: water
My new Great Pyrenees puppy Nana came home last Tuesday. :icondurrhurrplz:
And she's chewing the crap out of my house! :iconkermityayplz:

Anyways, she's adapting very well to the new environment, though my other dogs don't seem to like her very much at all... ^^;
She's only 5 months old, but is already bigger than them (and they're both over 10 years old!), and only wants to play with them, but they get angry and just growl at her, even though she's pretty submissive. DDD:

I don't know why those old coots are so grumpy all the time...

But Nana's fitting in well otherwise. ^^;
Though she is chewing on EVERYTHING, including stuff that she could choke on, so I have to keep taking away those things, which makes her kind of upset. :( Makes me upset to ruin her fun too, but I gotta do it.

She's a really sweet puppy, and she loves playing around and snuggling with everyone. ^^
And she has one terrifying bark. :iconimhappyplz:
She'll make a great guard dog one day with that huge body and bark. ^^

Now onto what I came here to do...
Rant about the new Soul Eater chapter.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well... Soul Eater chapter 64 came out, as you all probably noticed...
And my first complaint...

Did Maka completely not notice how friggin' LAME her "angel wings" looked?
Seriously.
I thought you said you wanted ANGEL wings. I would imagine those to be large, feathery, and beautiful. Not that Cardcaptor Sakura rip-off bullshit.
:iconfrageplz:

Though I digress...
They seem to make her happy and crap, so I guess I'll let her slide... THIS time...
Though I don't understand why she couldn't just keep those badass AND beautiful wings she showed off for, like, one page in the Clown Arc.... :iconnotimpressedplz:

So Soul and Maka bicker s'more....
Like a married couple BLAH BLAH BLAH...
It's really starting to irritate me surprisingly... >_>

Maka yells at Papa Spirit...
Seriously....
Getting a little old here, guys. *yawns with boredom*

Kim and Jackie leave right when they're told, because apparently, even though Kim is a witch, she can't sense the HUGE EVIL SOUL PRESENCE coming their way...
.............. *yawns again*
Seriously. There are, like, no jokes I can make at this chapter. What the fuck.

Maka is all, "LOL there's a big huge epically EVIL presence coming our way!! LET'S STAY COMPLETELY STILL AND NOT RUN AWAY 'CAUSE WE CAN BEAT WHATEVER COMES OUR WAY!! :iconimhappyplz:

And then stupid-ass Gopher shows up and beats the crap out of her with his....
Are those...?
ROCKET BOOTS?!
WHAT THE FUCK.
Oh, and he has even MORE retarded-looking wings... on one wrist.
One Winged Angel, anyone?
But seriously... This fight isn't even exciting AT ALL. It just looks...

Stupid.

*everything in Kibi's universe explodes upon the revelation, buildings collapse, imaginary creatures melt away into nothingness, the ground ends, the world turns upside down...*

*Kibi's left ear bleeds*

Come on, Ohkubo!
You didn't honestly think that was a good enemy design, did you?! He looks dumber than that time the Pokemon Special manga showed Silver flying using only his Murkrow!! ([link])
Oh, and he's attacking again...
With...

Oh, hell no.

Did his...

Did you just turn his shirt into a mouth?
And it...

*flails a bit*
IT SHOOTS LAZER FRIGGIN' BEAMS.

*throws up arms in frustration*

THIS ENEMY IS COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY RIDICULOUS.
WHY THE HELL IS HIS NAME GOPHER?!
HE HAS ONE WING, ROCKET BOOTS, AND A CHEST BLASTER?!
:iconshotplz:

Oh, and he's a friggin' chatterbox now...

REALLY, I'M LOSING FAITH IN YOU, OHKUBO.
This new character just makes me angry.

I HATE YOU, GOPHER.
JUST SHUT UP AND GET KILLED BY MAKA.

Meanwhile, the others are... eating ice cream...
Black:star:Star eating like friggin' PacMan....
No comment... Moving on...

So it naturally takes Maka FOREVER to get off her friggin' ass and fight back properly (Because she has Shounen Hero/Heroine Syndrome and can't fight back until she either makes a long speech or is nearly half-dead. At this point, she's a little bit of both, so it's time to D-D-D-D-DUEL.), but first she has to yell at Soul some more...

*heavy sigh*
I don't even want to review this anymore...

Oh, wait.
What's this?
Soul had something up his sleeve the whole time?
I NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED. *dripping with sarcasm*

And then...
Okay, there we go.
Now THAT'S what I was talking about!
There are the wings from the Clown Arc!
Wait, didn't I actually suggest that exact form earlier?
*checks*
....... Yeah, I did.

And how come it didn't just take that form immediately?
You can't use Shounen Hero/ine Syndrome for everything... (Well, actually, Bleach shows that you can... And so does Naruto....)
Isn't that the shape of her soul originally? When she asked for wings, why was the immediate form that of those weird spiky things? :iconnotimpressedplz:

Whatever.
Oh, and it's to be continued, which means this lame friggin' fight is going to last another whole chapter...
:iconheaddeskplz:
I'm just so friggin' IRRITATED right now...

Soul: You're probably hormonal.

Maka: Soul!

Soul: What? She is.

Maka: SOUL, GODDAMMIT I'M SO MAD AT YOU ALL THE TIME BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH...

Soul: *quietly sits and bears through the yelling*

Me: Jesus, looks like someone else is hormonal... Seriously... Did the small time skip Ohkubo created, did you instantly become a raging bitch? I mean... You were never this annoying to me before the time skip...

Maka: *twitch* What did you.... SAY?!

Me: ......... I miss little you. :(

Nana: *thrashes about on my lap to get to a toy I'm holding up*

Me: So... Yeah... You guys better make this up to me next chapter. Else you'll lose a fan.

Maka & Soul: ................

Me: Come on, Nana... Let's go watch Wolf's Rain...

Nana: *trots off after me*

Maka: ..... This is all your fault, Gopher. >_>

Gopher: I'm sure it is. :iconimgrinningplz: IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZER!!!

Me: Is that seriously the best joke I can make about this chapter?! *dies*
