Argh, grow a spine, please and thank you.
When reading a story, I have a tendency to lean towards strong character and plot development. That truly draws me into the story, but when a character… especially a female character is weak and broken and having so many tumultuous emotional issues that could be completely taken care of with the growth of the back bone… Well, I might get a tad bit angry. No, that glass candle threw itself upon the wall! I swear it!
Today, I was reading a story about Robin Sena and Amon from Witch Hunter Robin called ‘The Disappearing Life’ that takes place a few months after the last episode and I just snapped. She is “the Eve” of all witches and she can not seem to stop crying over one death and her destiny? It makes me angry. She has all this help and power coming from everyone around her and she just can’t stop moping around about not being strong enough. Argh.
Possibly, this could anger me because don’t they say what emotions you hate in other you dislike in yourself? But I have never seen myself as such a person. The story just seems to drag on and on and on… The plot is fabulous though. I barely remember the story from when I watched the dub on adult swim but this story is alive and fluid. It clears up any and all plot holes that had left me confused, but damnit I am still left with this gaping hole in my chest where the strong heroine overcoming the odds should be.
On another note ‘The Burning Times' by Mirosa is a fabulous well written, thought out story. Oh, the characters especially Amon, make my inner fan girl sing, opening him up to understanding and interpretation and growth. I usually dislike foreign language dictation in dialogue but Mirosa to put it lightly just makes it work. It adds to the story, giving it an authentic feel. And her researching? My goodness, I will love her forever. Just fabulous. I felt like I was receiving a miniature mythology lesson. Five stars.
P.S. I hate the word giggle.
