"you and me, babe, how about it"

Sep 22, 2010 12:36

Not so long time ago in a community not that far away a couple of MIND BLOWING drabbles were written based on a magnificent idea regarding the hypothetical romance of two anthropomorphized MMOs. (I can only imagine their meeting: of how they did look each other up and down, and L2 did disapprove, and WoW did say 'hi baby ( Read more... )

WHY IS THERE NOT MORE MATERIAL FOR THIS, wah my new OTP. I love neko/inu pairings ahaha. WoW's scruff, adorbs.

s-sob I don't even play mmos ;A; what have you all done.

Kavlier & Clay has that effect. People ask me why I love it and I'm just left standing there going durrrrrr, and like 15 minutes later I've formulated a response, because I have too many feelings for the book, its characters, metaphors everything. Chabon is a master. ;___;

WoW/L2 really is that cute and so genius, I know people IRL who play one or the other and yes it really really is like that ;A;. sob I hope you evil overlords keep this up!

Yes, I think by the Radioman arc you've kind of accepted that noone is going to live happily ever after/there are no heroes (the point of the book?), but you really do keep hoping against hope, because you really do feel for the characters They are so real! Admittedly I was more ;A; for Sammy at the end of the book than for Joe, but YMMV. Maybe his almost non-existance for the middle third was a good thing, I'm not sure my heart could handle reading about those twelve years of denial and suburban mediocrity.

If the prose ever suffered from bloat, it is forgiven for the parts where it is just sublime. Actually the last passage of the book reduced me to tears. Amongst others. ;_; (again, man, Bacon/Sam. crying, everything)

Me too! I love that Chabon didn't skimp on the arty details, he really does love the medium (or is especially good at faking it idk ahah)

Oh my godddddddddd, ♥ x infinity! I love their outfits -- so them! And "The Unbearable Lightness of Being", ahahaha, and sharing an mp3 player! And L2 looking vaguely grumpy just because, while WoW looks perfectly content with his music and L2 in his lap and a little footsie on the side.

(Would you mind very much if I linked this at some point? >_>)

No no, I actually had not given much thought to L2's reading habits, but Kundera fits him to a T. Was expressing joy and wonderment!

And I am so glad that the pairing has caught your fancy! It makes it easier to believe that the three of us are not just happily crazy. XD

Thanks again for the awesome art. :)
