random, Aug 3 theme
hydr0phobia's post reminds me, the Eugene Waldenbooks is now carrying Japanese manga, like Death Note.
Also BokuImo but HEY if their buyers want to import a manga best described as 'incest is best' (the full title is Boku wa Imoto o Koi Shita, or something of that whisker) who am I to ask the clerks, helpfully, if they know it says 'I'm in Love With my Little Sister?'
Today's theme et me. Entirely. Also, I'm trying to write my bb_shousetsu entry and am staring queasily at three pages of my brain skipping merrily away into lands of 'princess raised as a prince and hey, there could be a boy raised as a girl and it would be cute and there could be prophecies. And crap.'
Day/Theme: Aug 3 / Like Hamlet
Series: Card Captor Sakura
Character/Pairing: Eriol
Rating: G
What he wants. He wants her to be happy, for everybody to be happy. The job of making them happy weighs him down. I only want the best for you.
Notes made in the handwriting that is no longer his. He reads them over and over again, directions to make her happy.
He has a music box with a bird, a clockwork bird that sings I want your happiness, knowing I can never be yours to share it.
He thinks he makes a bad tragic hero but can't stop himself. Like Hamlet, like Othello, trying to make others happy and never knowing how to do it.
