*raises hand* That would be me, right? Unless you've been analysing Godchild to an epic degree in other forum threads, in which case, I'm very hurt. :P

Pretty boys, angst, victoriana, poison, shounen-ai, fairytale references...what more could a girl want?
I second that recipe. :D There's only one thing more a girl could want, and that is for the shounen-ai to actually happen, rather than lurk between the lines in a frustratingly obvious manner. DAMMIT, GUYS, JUST KISS ALREADY.

Sorry, I'll stop dragging Godchild discussion into the comments. But I enjoyed reading this, and it made me think of those epic rants again...uh oh, I'm having Amnesiac!Girl!Cain flashbacks. Must flee your journal before I dredge up any more blatant discussion crossover.

OMG. I FORGOT ABOUT AMNESIAC!GIRL!CAIN. I JUST POSTED AU GODCHILD FIC OVER AT laudanumdreams, AND I AM PLOTTING MORE. A!G!C and CLONE!RIFF CAN BE MY NEXT VICTIMS.

Note the unsubtle fic plug.:p

And yes, that would be you, don't worry. I haven't been cheating on you/ober with other forums. I'm a good girl. *adjusts halo* I did pop into Ober this morning and note that the manga thread has become very yaoi-ful in my absence. :p All that Loveless. I'd try it, but I just can't cope with how young Ritsuka looks.

AND OMG YES. KISS. NOW, BOYS. NOW.

*coughs* Ah, don't worry. Dredge up all you want. We had some great theories going on.

*flails* Must...have...A!G!C and Clone!Riff fic...

I also now have this growing urge to go back and reread our five or so pages' worth of Godchild ranting, because I've forgotten half the hysteria-induced-yet-awesome things we came up with, like the clones and the amnesiacs and the cross-dressing...and sipping tea in the realms of speculation, which is still part of my Ober profile. XD

Heh, yeah, the manga thread tends to go through phases, where one or two series in particular are focused on and dissected, and at the moment it's Loveless. Not one of my favourite series, but the art's pretty and it's well-written. The potential shota overtones are disturbing (I have no taste for that sort of thing either), but it never veers into hentai, so as long as there's nothing actually going on between them it's bearable...and fingers crossed for a time-jump, I guess. :P

Now, onto this new Godchild fic! Which will probably motivate me even more into rereading the early days of the manga thread. XD Ah, memories.

[ms_legerdemain]

I recall a very intense discussion of the symbolism of Jizabel giving Cain his necklace/crucific thingamajig...now I want to reread them as well. :p Actually, I've been meaning to copy and paste it all into word and word count it to see just how much we wrote about it, because I suspect it's going to be a hell of a lot.

By the way, I can't remember, have you read Cantarella? Because if you haven't...you should. Seriously. It ranks right up there with Godchild on my favourite manga list, and is right up with it with the angst/hot boys/shounen-ai. If you have read it then I'm an idiot for not remembering.

I might try Loveless if I'm really bored one day. I just really hate shota overtones, even if it's only subtle and implied (this is why I stopped watching/reading Kuroshitsuji...that and the fact the plot sort of died). And lol, yes, keep those fingers crossed. I kept the fingers crossed with Kuro but eventually the implications got the better of me. The fandom was also fairly into the shota, which was off puttieng. Just...no,
