Well...it's happened. And it was bound to happen eventually, I suppose, taking into consideration the amount of merchandising (i.e. whoring) there is.
Naruto has sucked me in.
It was, once again, an accident, really. Aly and I were desperate for an anime we hadn't already watched a gazillion times. It was at Walmart. It was cheap. I've been wondering why there's so much merchandise for it everywhere because I just know it's not the same as Bam Margera's HIM pimping. We thought we'd just give it a try. And then there was the sexy jutsu, the Naruto and Sasuke kiss, Kakashi's fingers up Naruto's ass all in such a short time that we went "What kind of anime is this?" Needless to say I've been sucked in.
Sucked in in a bad kind of fanfiction way. Because you don't put two prominent male characters kissing (accident or not) in the third episode if you don't want me to get sucked in in the superbad fanfiction kind of way. I'm kind of bummed about the evil!Sasuke thing, but hey. Beggers can't be choosers, right, and damn I can play with that...
So I guess now the only thing is that I have to figure out how to balance, say, three couples I really adore (DracoxRon, CloudxRiku, NarutoxSasuke) plus three I simply adore (LeonxSora, KakashixIruka, ShikamaruxIno (I know--a HET couple: go me!).
My brain is going to explode. Implode.
I've been feeling awfully creative lately. I'm sure this attributes to my insanity.
Have such good ideas. Will refuse to insert English translations with Japanese versions of catchphrases because I refuse to write in more than one language. Will be hated by many.
I just don't get it, you know? If I'm writing in English and the official English translation is for Sasuke to call Naruto a loser, then that's what I'm gonna do, you know? If I were writing in Japanese it would be different, but I'm not, so...
People are going to hate me. Nothing new. Can't say I care much.
So I humbly await the asskicking that is to come when I ... Hee.
