Completely random things

(One of those times when there are random thoughts that don't make a coherent post, but I want to get them out anyway.)

After my computer playlist went on a Disney streak:

1. A line from "Prince Ali" in Aladdin: "Just try your best to stay calm/Brush up your Sunday salaam."

your Sunday salaamREALLY. REALLY? It's amazing how words can

You're right, the "stupid woman" thing he pulls on Haru is misogynist. I think I was lenient because he's insulting to everyone in Daily Life, but he definitely does harp on her being a woman. At least the one time he pays attention to Kyoko (when she was going "cute kid!" when he got blasted with the Ten-Year Bazooka), he simply threatened to blow her up like he does everyone else? But yeah, going "stupid woman" half the time, and having little positive to do with women, I can see how the misogynist vibe could come across. I don't think he's that bad about it, especially, as you say, he mellows out in the Future Arc.

Heh, I think I put more weight on the UMA bit than the FEMALE.
Fair enough, so does Gokudera. XD

The Rasiel thing: It's a cliche in a way, but I just felt like it was such an unexpected cliche to use - there was never any hint of doubt about the death of Bel's family! - that it turned around and became brilliant. It was a good way to show how Byakuran's power could be useful.

"Lawful Stupid" is too harsh for Costis! He has a narrow viewpoint, is his problem. People keep having to point out their points of view to him, but he's intuitive enough once he decides he's doing something - like how he picks up hints on taking care of Gen. Honour Before Reason is a definite, though.

HAHAHAHA re. pretending bad acting was part of charm. That is interesting!
A little story, in case you were never in the fandom/watched the series: I read a bunch of Smallville fics that had parts along the lines of "And then Clark put on his totally blank 'goldfish butting into the side of its tank' face; the one he always wore when he lied..." - well, with better prose and less facetiousness. This is because as opposed to acting, Tom Welling (Clark Kent) would just lose facial expression whenever the plot called for him to lie about being Superman. Fandom worked so hard around the source material. XD
