TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life (And So Will Fandom In General)
So, I was reading Eyeshield 21 (have I mentioned I'm into ES21 now? Because I really really am. Y'all seriously need to read it, stat. I haven't fallen this much in love with a manga since One Piece, and anyone who knows me knows that's saying something) and had something akin to a Reverse Funny Aneurysm moment because of this page.
Says the Hakushyuu Dinosaurs quarterback, apropos of nothing: "My last name, Maruko, sounds like a girl's, doesn't it? So just call me Marco. If it's Marco, not Maruko, it sounds kind of dangerous, like a suave Italian man, right?"
This statement is probably only funny at all if you've talked extensively with hinas_otaku or emeraldlarunya, or if you've read this. Or this, or this, or maybe this or at least this, which most of you probably have not done considering that this is basically such a fandom in-joke it's stupid.
But if you are me, this is roaringly hilarious, and that's the important part.
God this entry is full of links.
(And yes, I did post this just to make more people read Eyeshield. DO IT.)
