Oh my God!!!! What happened to Megamind?? This can't be him D8

[anneka_neko]

Ohhhhhh I WONDER? WHAT CAN BE GOING ON? 8D I hope the explanation works for you guys like it does for me.

Just to warn you, if you were looking for a light and fluffy ending where they fix everything before the end of the episode. Well. Might not wanna read this one. :)

If, however, a little touch of fridge horror is your cup of tea, then you'll LOVE chapter seven! :D

[aurawind]

well, there are seven episodes... I hope the seventh could save him from the darkness D:

[anneka_neko]

*grin* We'll see!

No, seriously though. This is darkfic through and through.

[legendaryair]

ZOMG noooo poor Roxanne, and poor Minion! D': I hope he doesn't die, that would be awful. Well, okay, MORE awful.

...am I a bad person for laughing at the brain-bot calling Metro Man at the end, after all that darkness? :P

Also, I love your tags for your journal, they made me LOL too. XD

Don't keep us in suspense too long! Pretty please?

Okay first, thanks for all three of those lovely comments! :D Too lazy to reply to each one seperately, but I appreciate all three!

But no, see I was writing the phone call like "I feel like this is an unnecessary amount of mood whiplash. I probably should make it less lulzy..." I get a bit weirdly giddy and lulzy when I write really dark stuff, 'cause I just love it so much, and black humor ends up in there at odd points. xD

And re: tags, I figure if you're gonna look for something in my journal you might as well have fun about it, right?

/IIII oh. Obviously I should stop promising how soon things will be written, huh? I have a general idea where the next chapter will go, and I'm partway through, and I'm trying to say that I don't get to go grab a burger for dinner until the chapter's finished, but I doubt that'll last. I'm doing my best to reign in my ADD writing-avoiding tendencies though. :D

[legendaryair]

You're welcome! And LOL, I completely understand about the timing thing...I am suffering from a complete writer's block on my fic; I was planning to end it earlier but got addicted to the encouragement and kept going. And now grad school is kicking my butt, so I've only been writing papers instead of things I LIKE doing. O_o

I <3 black humor, it makes me happy! :D <3

[anneka_neko]

*goes to grab a burger anyways* I AM WEAK but no, I wish I could be like NO I'VE BEEN DOING MY SCHOOLWORK. IIIII have been neglecting that as well. I suck at getting things done, basically. xD

Maaaaaan

[threequarterfox]

SHAPESHIFTER! RUN FOR THE HILLS!

Seems though that it's actually some sort of sleepwalking thing, and I'm wondering if Megamind hasn't been getting all the vitamins and minerals he needs to be normal on this world.

Last guess: He's been programmed by someone in the Gaol. Always a possibility, right?

This is awesome, I look forward to seeing how you set the next bit. Keep going! We neeeeed you to keep writing!

You've really caught me up in the story. [bouncebouncebounce]

Re: Maaaaaan

[anneka_neko]

:D Yaaaay! I love how you're guessing all those things and NONE OF THEM ARE QUITE RIGHT. I feel like you'll be like "*blink* REALLY ANNE? YOU WENT THERE?" and I'll be like "YUP, I WENT THERE!" You'll groan a little bit at me, I think. xD

/re: chapter four comment, I can't really speak for Anglicans elsewhere, but actually Episcopalians (American Anglicans), of which I used to be one, tend to be sane, polite, tolerant, and non-crazy. Obviously this doesn't apply to ALL Episcopalians, but it sounds like you've run into some bad apples. :/

Re: Maaaaaan

[threequarterfox]

I LOVE THAT YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT THING TO WHAT I GUESSED. [dancedancedance]

I will never groan at you. You'll have to do a LOT to make me groan at you. You are awesome and exciting and hilarious. WRITE ME MORE FIC GORGEOUS GIRL.

On the other comment:
Never met anyone who CALLED themselves Episcopalian, so I dunno there, but the Aussie Anglicans were incredibly insulted by the "E" word, and wouldn't accept any religious debate at all. Or any debate. They were right, and that was it. I've been told several times that I shall burn in hell, and more rude things as well. Also they were right wing politically, so we sort of didn't even slightly get along XD Perhaps they're different in America. I have no idea.

Re: Maaaaaan

[anneka_neko]

Oh. You say that. I expect groaning shall occur. But I do actually have another couple MM pieces I'm thinking about, so those will be showing up eventually too! :D

/Oh, yeah. Most Episcopalians I know are moderate or liberal. The far-right niche is filled by other religious groups around here, which I won't enumerate lest any readers think I'm stereotyping them.

[megapotterhead]

WHAT...I DON'T...JUST...WHY...MEGS...ROXANNE...MINION...BRAINBOT...METS...WHAT?! /is incredibly confused and overwhelmed by shit-hitting-fan-ness and dying to read the next chapter (haha, a little really bad humor for ya) and really wanting to know WTH Megamind is doing (if it even is Megamind)

[anneka_neko]

:D Hopefully the next chapter will explain it all pretty nicely. Once you get the explanation, if you go back through the story, you'll see that this isn't even out of left field at all-- I've been telling you that this was going to happen all along. :) That's part of why the comments have been KILLING me with <3, because I'm pretty sure nobody saw this coming. :D

[alwayseasy]

Holy crud!! What the effing heck is THAT?!??? So it was Megamind all along who was savaging all those women. Only, it's not Megamind. The persona that has now taken over Megamind's body (let's call him the Butcher, shall we?)... When Butcher has taken over Megamind's body, he doesn't seem aware that he's in Megamind's body. He seems to believe that he and Megamind are two different people... just like Megamind himself believes that he and Butcher are two separate people who have never met before. The creepy factor is just mind-bogglingly intense *shudder*

Oh, Roxanne! Oh NO! I actually cringed away from the screen reading about what was happening to her. It was horrendous, appalling and terrifying. Quite frankly, I don't see her ever recovering from this. I see her never, EVER forgiving Megamind for this. Even if it IS a mental disorder that's driving Megamind to these actions... even if medication might help him someday. I don't see her forgiving him for this, ever!

[anneka_neko]

Fffffff oh my god. You. You're so smart, seriously. Also, clearly you're as demented as me, because you went right past the "clearly that isn't him" and "what trickery is this" stage to the "HOLY SHIT MENTAL PROBLEMS, WILL NEVER BE OKAY, HORROR" thing. You'll be significantly more prepared, emotionally speaking, for the way this story ends than some of the others. WHICH I LOVE.

BONUS: Look back all the way to chapter one.

The man the papers would soon name the Metro City Butcher grinned wickedly in the near-dark room, face blue in the light of his computer.

Blue. I've been telling you all alooooong~

[alwayseasy]

I think it's written VERY clearly and explicit that it IS Megamind that is *shudder* attacking Roxanne over there. All your reviewers are desperately hoping that it's NOT Megamind, but it obviously is.

erm... I keep using words like 'explicit' and 'obvious' because I'm slightly concerned that I might actually be a smidgen more demented than the average reader over here. ONLY a SMIDGEN!!!

[anneka_neko]

<3 I LIKE YOU. YOU TOTALLY GET ME. /demented is good. It just means you're more open to seeing the wonderful horror of the situation. :D
