I especially liked the little reference to His Dark Materials :)

Darklord is not a registered mini on our database. Therefore he's a newly created one. You are perfectly free to either send him our way or adopt him, just do let us know which so we can put him on our records.

Seriously, though, I found the original, and I'm surprised you came through with your eyes and brain intact. It's no wonder your Agents were a little... annoyed toward the end. Nice job~

So I've been sort of away, out of the loop, et cetera, for a while, don't ask me why because quite frankly I have no idea, but it's been a month or three and I've missed things, of that I'm sure.

But there I was, minding my own business, looking for 'fic, and I found... um... a few reminders of exactly why I hang out here and am never leaving again. Since I've been out of the loop for a bit, I thought I'd throw them to the wolves. NCIS, FFX, Avatar; even if you don't know the fandoms, they may offend you.

I'll be around, I hope.

Thicker Then Blood

NCIS, and believe me I wish that title was a typo on my part. It's not.

Summary: "When Jenny left NCIS years ago she was pregnant with Jethro’s child she never told him because she feared he wouldn’t be there for her and her daughter. Fourteen years later will Jenny finally tell him? Will he want to be part of his daughter life?"

That? That right there is pretty much the stupidest motivation for story I have ever laid eyes on. Maybe I'm missing something in their characters since I'm only halfway through season 3, but somehow, I don't think so.

Butterflies Also NCIS.

Let's put it this way: Tony. McGee. Mpreg. McGee giggles. Also the 'science' is broken but giggles. Brain is broken.

A new fate FFX

"A young girl is brought to spira six months before the ture story beings but she has no idea how or why she has come and part dose she play in spira's and yuna story"

Tell me I don't have to elaborate.

Classic 'Sue signs: 17, long black hair, unloved by family, needed in Spira, yadda yadda yadda.

Romeo and Juliet: A Zutara Story Avatar

...um. Minis, OOCness, Instant Wuv (tm!), 'please excuse spelling/grammar I'm just thirteen'... maybe I'm being a bit too harsh but wow, that fandom's a bit of a pit, isn't it?

but here's a couple.

Green with envy, tickled pink, red with fury/whatever.

Done well, a Tortall/Tolkien crossover might be awesome. I've just being rereading the Song of the Lioness series (and I've discovered that Alanna may be a Sue: violet eyes, awesome skillz and everything. Discuss).

However, I suspect this one isn't done well?

Look, Sedri, there's a ton of these buggers, and I have to go out in an hour. If I miss the start of the Potter travesty because I'm too caught up in thinking of metaphors for you, I may never forgive you. :P

Have asked my dad if he can think of any German examples that fit, since one of my principal memories of asking him for help with German homework was his insistence that idiomatic expressions don't tend to translate the same. Will let you know what he says.

Also, will reply on your lj as will have time to think that way.

There is a reason that there is only one of them on the Pit.

Feel the pain...

This is for my semantics course at university, and I'll be writing it as a formal report, so if you know a metaphor in a non-English language, please, give me both the original words and the English translation.

Also, phrases relating to temperature or colour are excellent, but literally anything is welcome - the more variety, the better. Also, they don't need to be strict-definition metaphors, as "feeling down" is perfectly useful for this project.

Thanks to anyone who can help!

(Cross-posted from my LJ:)

I need a favour, from as many of you as possible, and I think it should be fun: How many different metaphors can you think of which describe an emotion?

I'm looking for things like:

Anger: blow your lid, explode, boiling blood...

Sadness: Feeling blue, down...

And so on.

I ask this particularly of those of you who speak languages other than English, because part of my project is about how these metaphors (such as heat representing anger) are cross-cultural and multi-lingual.


Can anyone lend a hand?

That said... hm, interesting. Simplest option would be to just charge her with lying and being all too full of herself, I guess. See, I think it depends on how you define a "soul" - I would say that we all are souls, and we have bodies; therefore, there's no way someone could talk to their soul without they themselves being an inert or robotic empty body. But people disagree, and as you said, in different Word Worlds.

If you want to play it safe, I'd say exorcise her and neuralyse all her memories so she ends up being basically a blank slate, and then either release her into a continumn where she can't do much harm or recruit her. On the other hand, if she makes you angry enough and you're willing to risk upsetting the Flowers, kill her, but exorcise her first just in case you accidentally damage the canon character.

I'm guessing you don't need the bucketful of links to find the wiki, Permission article and Original Series, so I'll spare you all that and offer you a handy tool for cleaning up the blood that will come from your missions when you inevitably join the Department of Mary Sues. *hint, hint, hint...*

That said, welcome. :)

Welcome to the PPC! Don't worry. Your name is perfectly fine here. Here's a set of fine steel daggers from the Raven Armory. (Courtesy of a few dead Sues.)

If it's like that, I think that it's a replacement Sue, possibly. In that case, go ahead and kill her.
You should start a market for Unicorn Chasers. PPC agents will kill for those. Particularly the ones who work on the NSFW/NSFB ones.

I have to agree with Rosie. Lots of fire...

Ooh, pretty drink. 8D *grabs some because they have unicorns on them, and beacase they are like Bleepka*

Welcome to the board. x3

I like your name, it's interesting. xD I try to keep to one main username for my internet uses, but it hasn't worked too well. >w

Karoo? Also happens to be the name of my internet people.

Might I recommend some super glue and bleepka to repair your brain? Those stories just bothered me, and I couldn't resist showing them to others.

Bonus Chapter: Jayacacaia's last stand.

Author's Note: Miss JayBird, i'm sorry for what i'm going to do for your character. Just remember that the NMG are the bad guys, and that I don't sympathise with them and I don't expect anyone else to.

"Stand down, Thornbyrd."

"Never, Psycho!Thundera! Ebony is my friend, in more ways than one!"

"So you would defy the will of the NMG, which has stated that restoring the Harry Potter canon is the most beneficial move for it? You poor fool..."

"I'm not a fool! I'm the SO's wife!" Jayacacia then summoned her husband, who had replaced Dumbledore as the headmaster of Goffik!Hogwarts. He was wearing black robes made of leather and his petals were dyed red while his head had white foundation on it. His staff now had a pentagram (bcause D&d is Stanic, u see, & hi sstaff cum from d&D) and-

Author's Note: There is not enough memory in my computer for the rest of the description.

"Hahahahaha! He's your only support? Now see mine." With a wave of her hand, she summoned an army of Greater Daemons from the ruins of OFUM, and unleashed them upon the two. At the same time, great wings burst from her back, and she began flying over the two.

Jayacacia, who was wearing a bikini made of temperate and tropical leaves (to signify that she represented all of the world's forests, rather than a single continent's) drew her whip, Rosebud, and used it to banish a Great Unclean One back into the ruins of OFUM. At the same time, the Sunflower Official unleashed a Prismatic Spray upon a Bloodthirster, turning it to stone. They then took on an Lord of Change, and won. Then, a Keeper of Secrets slashed at Jayacacia with his pincer, wounding her. The SO, in a rage, used a powerful Lightning Bolt at it, to no avail. Just when it seemed that the Daemon will consume the two, however, reinforcements finally arrived.

"U wil no tch Jayacacia or my nam isn't Ebony Dementia Dark'ness Raven Way! Avda Kedabra!" A beam of green light the struck the Keeper of Secrets in the chest, killing it.

A beautiful figure dressed in-

Author's Note: The computer doesn't have enough memory, again.

-rushed over to the wounded Jayacacia, and said:

"NO! Jayacacia y wer mi bff! Don't wory, Daeko and Vampire will be here soon!"

Ebony then lifted up her middle finger at the remaining Daemons, and conjured up a gun. She then-

-got herself split in two as Psycho!Thundera threw a giant shuriken at her.

"Ebony! No!"said Jayacacia at the death of her friend. She then healed herself and grew her own wings (eagle, in order to emphasize her connection to nature) and flew.

Psycho!Thundera waved her sword, but the pink wires that came out from it were easily evaded by Jayacacia, who stuck back using her whip. She then unleashed a storm of razor-sharp leaves upon her enemy, causing her pain.

"You will pay for that, bitch!"

Psycho!Thundera then sheathed herself in a column of light, which began to emit beams of searing energy. Jayacacia was struck by several of them, and screamed.

"AHHHHH!"

"No! Jayacaciaaa!" The SO then flew up and unleashed a Disintigrate. It hit the column of light, but was deflected to the ground. Psycho!Thundera then emerged from the column, stronger than ever. She then unleashed a storm of fire upon the Flower, which she then followed up with frost. Before the SO can regain the initiative, she then conjured up more giant shurikens and threw them at the Flower.

Just before they came into contact with his flesh, Jayacacia then recovered, and parried them all with her whip. She then closed in to engage Psycho!Thundera in melee.
The duel continued for several hours, with both combatants showing unusual skill. Finally, however, Psycho!Thundera cut apart Rosebud, and prepared a fatal strike. Jayacacia then turned her body into crystal, absorbing the sword into her body. She and Psycho!Thundera then began to show off their skill in unarmed combat, using every martial arts skill in the Multiverse in an attempt to gain an edge upon each other.

Finally, Jayacacia seemed to gain the advantage, as her crystalline body proved immune to the enemy's blows. But Psycho!Thundera just cheated, and conjured up a chainsaw immune to absorption by Jayacacia's body. She then rained blows down on her opponent, drinking her screams like the purest whiskey. The SO tried to interfere, but was set upon by several Daemonettes.

Draco and Harry then arrived at this point, but instantly reverted to their canon selves at the sight of Ebony's dead body. NMG Grey Knights then teleported in and carried them off before the Daemons caught sight of them. Finally, Jayacacia lost all hope, and tumbled into the whirling mass below. After several minutes, they were banished back to the ruins of OFUM, leaving only an indiscribable mass of shattered crystals.

Psycho!Thundera then laughed. Despite the fact that canon had to be preserved to accomplish it, the Harry Potter canon was now NMG territory. Forever.

===

"Give me five cents, Makes-Things. You lost the bet."

"Fine" said the irritated scientist as he went through his pockets.

Author's Note: As I said, i'm very sorry for having to do this to JayBird's character. As an apology, I am now lending Psycho!Thundera and the Daemons to her to punish as she sees fit. Love, BW.

Hello there! Here, have a Pidgin! They are Very Friendly, and love to talk to you. You might have a little trouble understanding them at first, but...

Be advised, Pidgins are now an endangered species now that the Fic they originated in has been deleted, so if you wind up with a female one, you may be required to let it breed... *hands you a Pidgin, regardless of your protests*


Pidgin by ~DawnBluewings on deviantART

Well, one cannot really take pets on missions (or, it is ill-advised), but there's nothing in the rulebooks about not feeding Sues to them...

Supposing no one shows up to claim him, then either my Agent(s) will ship him off to the OFUM, or adopt him. How dear little Darklord will get along with Rebeka Cooper and faithful the Mini-Stormwings, or the rat, German Shepherd, and Pidgins Various, however, is a matter to consider.

Oh, speaking of which, would you like a Pidgin? They are Very Friendly, and love to talk to you. You might have a little trouble understanding them at first, but...

It's properly spelled "Carue", I think, but Karoo is an alternate way it's been seen. Which makes me wonder why they'd use it as a name...

Whenever you have the chance is fine. And since the fic focuses mostly on the Stu and the five core Strawhats (and Chopper), I'd say you have sufficient knowledge. It mentions Robin, Franky, and Brook, but they're pretty much cameo appearances.

I am in accordance with the prior poster's opinion. Although I do have a question.. What fandom is this?

Supposing no one shows up....just what's gonna happen to him? Oh, is he trained to hunt Sues and stuff?

Very nice to meet you, (name here). Newbies are fun to tortu-- I mean uh... uh... uh... LOOK! A distraction!
