I spent like an hour this morning going through certain scenes in Durarara book 4 on my Kindle and highlighting things and making the most RIDICULOUS NOTES EVER about Shinichi and how perfect he is and I just want to (psedudo)meta-vomit EVERYWHERE about how he is clearly one of the few characters who really knows Izaya. In fact he might be the one person who knows him best simply due to the fact that he's a keen observer and probably similar enough to Izaya on the detached front that he can see right through him.
(the only other one who could come close is probably Shinra, and given that Shinra doesn't actually care about anything that isn't Celty I don't think he puts an awful lot of thought into figuring out Izaya unless Celty starts quizzing him up on it)
Basically Izaya and Shinichi remain my favourite perfect OTP and I am virtually scribbling all over my Kindle about it. XD
And then I went to glance at the few individual Tumblrs I still check and.....
Oh shit oh shit oh shit. Okay. I already have a bunch of FEELINGS about uu (the dickish male identifying one that we've seen harassing Dirk, not the polite female identifying one we've seen more of because in case it hasn't been made perfectly clear yet: I KIND OF LIKE CHARACTERS WHO ARE TOTAL DICKS). And yes I have been totally digging the HELL out of the split-personality theory that has been hinted at because I kind of love shit like that. A lot. Like you have no idea, oh wait no you probably do I am a YGO fan after all. XD
And then I see this bit of fanart. Oh my god. I CAN NOT ARTICULATE ALL THE FEELNGS I HAVE ABOUT THIS. It's just... their face! (in a way this is both a singular and plural "they" ...I was going to use "ze/zir" but a) I am so bad at spelling that any word I don't use commonly, no matter how simple it is, I tend to look at and go "did I spell that right?" over a lot so I feel awkward not knowing if I am right and b) a pronoun that can be taken as plural seems a lot more appropriate for UU/uu... maybe I'm just being ridiculous, idk :x) Ugh. So many feelings. So many feelings. So many feelings! As amazing (and hilarious) the current updates are I want more UU/uu. I love them a lot.
(stupid ridiculous things: I've been working a lot on that highly stupid fic idea of mine about Shinichi getting captured by Nebula and escaping in a robot body right now... even though I SHOULD be working on that highly stupid fic for the kinkmeme instead. Either way I've been thinking a lot about things like EDI from Mass Effect and the Auto Responder (and Dirk's other various robots) from Homestuck and A Certain Character from Mary's next novel all tangled up in my usual Shinichi feels (and honestly they are probably why I have so many feels about him in the first place. Bluh, bluh, I have a lot of feelings about artificial intelligences even though there is no indication that Shinichi is an AI of any sort, and I honestly don't think he is... I just kind of have a headcanon that he operates somewhat similarly. And until I can dig up Vamp and try to read up on the character it's apparently been implied that he's supposed to be like, all I have is my headcanon and speculation) I AM GETTING DISTRACTED FROM THE POINT HERE! I've been thinking a lot of about shit like that and trying to figure out what the highly sophisticated, very human looking (but still maybe balancing on the edge of the Uncanny Valley) robot body Shinichi winds up jacking would look like.
And then suddenly this picture this morning and my brain goes "Minus the Troll horns and with slightly less grey skin. This. Yes." And that's it.
Even when I'm talking about Homestuck, everything turns into Shinichi feels in the end. XD
