Wash Away The Worst Of Me.
The dialogue of Life Is Strange comes in for a fair bit of mockery for being unnatural, and, to be honest, it's not undeserved ('Oh, man, are you cereal?' is one of the worst offenders). But it portrays young female friendship in a way that rings very true to me: perhaps truer than any other work of fiction I've consumed. During Farewell, the bonus episode about Max and Chloe when they were kids, I found myself quietly reminiscing about my friends from primary school. (It's harder to reflect nostalgically on my friends from secondary school because they're still my friends!) And I loved the original Life Is Strange showing the familiarity between Max and Joyce; you do often form a sort of relationship with the parents of your childhood friends, but for some reason that's not something I often see portrayed in fiction.
I cried a lot at the end of Farewell. Life Is Strange can be a bit emotionally manipulative sometimes, but I have to admit that it's very successful at manipulating my emotions.
The DN Angel manga is starting up again in May, apparently! Here come all my very intense feelings about Satoshi from when I was fifteen. For anyone who has not experienced DN Angel, it is a series about a boy who transforms into a legendary art thief as a metaphor for getting a boner and it is incredible.
I also picked up my long-neglected replay of Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance today. I didn't get very far (I love the game as a whole, but I'm currently at the Tron: Legacy world, which is a bit of a visual headache), but it was enough to remind me of my very intense feelings about Riku as well. It's a day for being emotional about self-loathing fictional boys I've loved for half my life!
They also, of course, have 'painfully in love with a spiky-haired optimist' in common. And 'having their bodies taken over by malevolent entities', come to think of it. Maybe I should write something in which Riku and Satoshi interact; they'd have so much to talk about!
Not that they'd actually talk about it, because they're both very private. Why must you make this so difficult for me to write, boys?
R and S are right next to each other, come to think of it! I missed a trick when I was writing ficsnippets pairing characters up in alphabetical order.
I recently found myself thinking 'maybe I should do alphabet ficsnippets where I combine canons in alphabetical order,' but my last set of alphabet ficsnippets took me four and a half years, and I have consumed a very limited number of canons beginning with the letter Q. I don't want to corner myself into writing a Pokémon/QWOP crossover.
