As some of you may be aware, it is THAT TIME of year again. It is time for Cecilia to bust out her greatest and most obsessive masterpiece, The Hyuuga Rant.
I was originally going to hold it this Saturday (the 14th) , but I realized that if I want to pass my classes this semester, I will be spending Saturday holed up in my room writing papers, so The Rant has been moved to:
Next Saturday, Nov. 21st, at 4:00, Skinner 216
I doubt anyone who's been here for over a year needs any explanation, but in case there are any firsties unsure of what's going on, I feel I should explain The Hyuuga Rant.
As one of Bella's leading Narutards, I have developed a particularly strong attachment to Hinata Hyuuga's crazy family. On realizing that not everybody understood the wonder that is their tiny little subplot, I spent a summer creating a powerpoint presentation so that my love might be better shared.
The Hyuuga Rant offers important insights on controversial topics such as "Where did Hinata's mother go?", "How far can a lone ninja stretch a metaphor concerning birds?", "Has Cloud Village always been so ridiculous?" and the long-debated, "Why does Naruto wear orange? Seriously, what kind of ninja wears orange?" And, of course, the famous "I am going to kill my little brother in as violent a way as possible" Dance. Clearly, The Rant is an important cultural event.
Knowledge of Naruto is not necessary, as a brief summary of the Naruto series will be given as an introduction. What IS necessary is a sense of humor and a willingness to poke fun at canon, fanon, and dysfunctional families.
This will be the third official presentation of The Hyuuga Rant, and your only chance to see it this year, as I'm going abroad this spring and won't be able to do an encore. So make a little room in your Saturday to watch someone who truly has too much time on her hands!
The Hyuuga Rant is rated T for Teen and contains some swearing and some light slash. If you have a very strong allergy to slash and cannot be in its vicinity without a bad reaction, the Rant may not be right for you. Despite rumors to the contrary, the FSA (Fandom and Shipping Administration) has deemed the amount of incest in The Rant to be neglible to nonexistant. The Rant is long (about 2 hours); if you do not want to stay through the whole thing, I will not be offended in the slightest if you leave or come late. Ask your doctor if you begin to search for Hanabi fanart, develop a heightned sensitivty to Hiash bashingi, or start to memorize character statistics. These symptoms may be a sign of a rare but serious condition called Hyuugaphila.
