please don't ever take my writing seriously, no, really
UH. Updated?
Renji's will prolly make more sense to those of you who have seen that scene in Gone in 60 Seconds, when Memphis is talking about "gleaming sunset-yellow cars begging to be plucked" (read: boosted) etc. (Now that I think about it--I should probably stop watching that movie so many times HUH. I R so brilliant.) But, basically, the thing is, Memphis is chill and poetic and Not To Be Messed With, and so he can totally get away with using the word marlboro as an adjective, whereas I...
Ritsuka's: Um. UM. I was trying desperately to curtail it so it wouldn't wind up a vignette (thus ensuring that it would never get completed), but I kindasorta failed HUSH AND PRETEND IT'S A ONE-LINER. D: And if this list is any indication, I honest to God have enough to write as it is and I really don't need anymore on my plate, thanksverymuch. (And that list? Requires an update with more vignette ideas.) Actually, writing this was pretty mortifying because--if possible--it sounds even more pretentious without being fleshed out. Ritsuka studying ancient civilizations is OK, Ritsuka having childish notions about the study of names is OK, but never, ever when I write it.
Actually, in my head, the battle went something like this:
Ritsuka: WRITE ME PLZ.
Me: *absolutely no hesitation* HELL NO.
Ritsuka: *pout* But why not? I am cute! And bitchy! And I throw hissy fits and have emotional baggage and I get flustered when Soubi does things to me!
Me: BECAUSE.
Ritsuka: You can write about me staring at an ancient civilizations book and theorizing about names! I know that you have that kink with names, don't you? Names, cities, fish, and numerology. You've got a Thing for them. It would totally be Deep and Meaningful. I could think, hey, my initials spell that sun god, you know the one? with the? and then--then I would have this grim sense of pride in my name.
Me: ...
Ritsuka: :D
Me: ARGH NO. NO! NO!
Ritsuka: =<
Me: NEW RULE IMPOSED STARTING NOW. NO WRITING FOR CATBOYS OR SIMILAR BRATS UNDER AGE OF THIRTEEN FOR ANY FANDOM, KTHX.
Ritsuka: Oh, you win this round.
Me: *pales*
AS YOU CAN SEE I AM V. MORTIFIED AND--AND I WASN'T LYING WHEN I SAID MY CHARACTERIZATIONS WERE PRETENTIOUS.
