Bleepong is a great game! There have been all kind of cool things coming up lately, and this definitely counts as one of them.

Also, awwwwwwwww! I can't wait to see that little demon grow up! It kind of gives a whole new meaning to the muttered curse "That kid of mine is demon spawn!" that parents of two year olds are familiar with.

And I can't forget to mention that I liked the fight between Cthulthu and Lucifer--especially the part where Caleb comes in and mentions their continuing battles in the halls of HQ.

Anyway, nice Interlude.

What a cute little demon!
Why, you little monster... by Sister-to-the-Queen on 2010-11-25 21:21:00 UTC Reply

Because of you, for the very first time in my life, I am going to SQUEEEEE!!! That baby is so cuuute! :D No, seriously, all the time while I was reading about it, I had this ridiculously wide grin on my face. Hell, it's still here, even as I type this. Here's hoping *raises a glass of bleepka* that the kid grows into a fine agent and never gets sent into a Good Omens badfic. *downs the drink* I dread to think what the consequences of that would be. Good thing badfics in that universe are so rare, eh? Oh, and when I get permission, I will make my agents play BleePong at some point. Big fun.

I'm glad you reposted the link to your mission, since I was too late last time. Now I get the chance to say I love it, I really do. It was funny enough to almost make that vomit-inducing fic bearable. Bleh. Thinking of it too much makes me queasy, so I'll just say this. Needing a matchmaker, Sue or not, is a bad sign. It's just a quick-fix, and therefore unsatisfying, solution. We want delicious character and situation build-up, dammit! Especially in our sacred/unholy fandoms! *fumes a little* Your picture is cute too, by the by.

A toast to you *tosses the glass and goes for the bottle*, and if they ever do make a Good Omens movie (and I really hope they don't), may it be without Depp, Bloom or any such teen steam machine. *tips back the bottle and drains it* 'M not kiddin'. Jush' look at thish picshure by quantum-witch. 'Sh freakin' terrifyin' in all itsh accree... Arcee... Preshision. Here, shee? *drops off her chair*

Attack of the Mad Fangirls

Screw that, Orlando Bloom as Crowley! by PitViperOfDoom on 2010-11-26 00:27:00 UTC Reply

Because I can be a Mad Fangirl if I want!

Besides, I was actually a bit disappointed by how hard it was to find a bad enough Good Omens fic. The characters are just so fun to mess around with, and without badfic there can be no missions. I still can't decide whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Yes, I've seen that pic, and all of quantum-witch's art. I'm a member of the Good Omens DA club, too. I'm debating on whether to try putting up my latest pic, but I'm not sure anyone will get it.

But I wasn't kidding earlier; I was kind of speaking through my Kestrel-proxy when I said that thing about the Good Omens movie. Because glaurung, I am a shameless fangirl and there's no point in being ashamed of it in this particular section of the internets!

Because I am not targeting fangirls, no way, no how, Only the Sues some of them throw at us. Which, incidentally, is how I interpreted quantum-witch's picture: as showing us what those Sues would very likely do.

I haven't insulted you, have I?

'Course not. by PitViperOfDoom on 2010-11-26 22:50:00 UTC Reply

I'm just annoyed by the crazier fangirls that give the rest of us a bad name.

And when it comes to movies and similar methods of entertainment, I keep my standards low. More fun that way. Example: I enjoyed M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender. Thoroughly.

Whew! And I agree. by Sister-to-the-Queen on 2010-11-27 19:01:00 UTC Reply

It's a sad fact that, not matter how much skill and diversity is contained in a community, a few nutjobs are enough to get the whole thing to be labelled as trash. Only by those not in the know, most likely, but still. Good thing the PPC exists to help us all channel our rage in a way that doesn't involve sledge hammers in our computer screens.

Movie adaptations of books (and of video games, and remakes of older movies) are notorious for being astonishingly low-grade junk, even when you don't compare them to the original material. Still, there are some good ones out there. For example, I got some massive chills out of a Japanese horror movie called Kakashi (translates to The Scarecrow). Have you heard of it? It was based on a manga by Jun...ji... Oh shit no...

(By the way, a couple of days ago when I offered to post you some links to more of his work? I meant it. So far I've found Tomie, Gyo and Flesh-Colored Horror. Interested?)

Yeah, before I even knew who Junji Ito was (or what manga was, for that matter), I saw a series of movie adaptations of Tomie in Blockbuster. I didn't rent them, though.

Have you read The Enigma of Amigara Fault? http://brasscockroach.com/h4ll0w33n2007/manga/Amigara-Full/Amigara.html If you haven't be warned. It's... it's not pretty.

Nnnnaaaahhhh... by Sister-to-the-Queen on 2010-11-28 23:55:00 UTC Reply

Oh... Oh damn... Gah...

You're so right. That was not, not pretty. And I don't just mean the images. The implications... Punishment (and a monstrously cunning one) for a long-forgotten crime, probably committed tens of thousands of years ago, calling you right back after all that time, literally sucking you in... Dear Eru... And did you notice? Some of the holes we see in the beginning of the manga are child-sized. Guess I just upped the nightmare fuel for you, huh? Hmm... Suddenly, some of those riffs in that Gorillaz MST you did with Laburnum make a lot more sense.

Here are two links for you. Keep in mind, however, that the fact that I post them does not mean that I'm forcing you to read them, or even take a look. There's some heavy material in there. Be warned.

First up, meet Tomie. This manga contains body horror to rival Uzumaki, plus lots and lots of gore, including multiple incidents of (live) dismemberment. There are also multiple instances of (female) nudity. I won't give away any spoilers, but I will say this about chapter seven, the first one in volume two. If I had to choose between carrying a chest-burster and carrying that... thing... I would definitely take the first option. Sure, I'd die, and messily at that, but at least it wouldn't cost me my soul.

Alternatively, you could just click this link: Scary Halloween Manga. It's the site where I found Tomie, and it houses a grand total of twenty-one different horror manga, some by Ito. Now, you must know that aside from Flesh-Colored Horror, these stories are unfamiliar to me, so you'll have to proceed on your own discretion. As for Flesh-Colored Horror, it's a collection of six unrelated stories, called Long Hair in the Attic, Approval, Beehive, Dying Young, Headless Sculptures, and Flesh-Colored Horror itself. Scared me something fierce. Blood and body horror aplenty, yet again. Tread with caution.

Nice work! I really enjoy reading your stories.

I love it. You really do have a great sense of humour for these things as well as dumping in sheer adorability, PPC style. XD
