Deep thoughts

Jun 09, 2010 03:12

Note: This doesn't really lead up to anything; the manga I was reading tonight just somehow led to me rambling at great length. And missing sleep again. Damn you, must-know-what-happens-next-regardless-of-quality syndrome!

( Cut for length, rambling, and spoilers for the series Complex, even though Robyn's probably the only one who'd care about the last and she's likely already read it anyway. (Hope your foot's feeling better, Robyn!) )

bl, i ought to be sleeping, politics

Awe .__. but I agree *not a big fan of character deaths, AT ALL* ~ though for me, I didn't avoid reading yaoi manga - but I did avoid talking about it. I couldn't even say the word sex out loud, just because of my upbringing. It was just so embarrassing (and many things relating to sex still are), even though I privately didn't care. *sigh*

But LOL that manga description is just.... ^^;;;; WOW. Like one of those bad fanfictions but with a bunch of OCs and for some reason you keep reading it anyway. It's the OCs that keep me away, like how I was able to stay away from twilight. I can't read a bad fanfic unless I'm in love with the character FIRST. Gravitation and Fake ♥ =>.<= I need to rewatch Gravitation, I can't remember it at all ~

Heh, I didn't avoid yaoi manga (didn't know it existed), I avoided the YA books with their angst about coming out and whatnot. I think it's funny though that you can't talk about sex but you can walk around naked in the hotel room, whereas I can talk about sex all day but make a beeline for the bathroom to change.

You know, it actually wasn't a bad manga. I wouldn't have felt as betrayed by the character if it was. Hell, just look at all the 10s it has on Manga Updates. It just gets a little too close to real life to make me happy, is the thing, and yet I still find myself chewing over the ending two days later.

Do you have Gravi on DVD, by any chance?

Nope, no Gravi on DVD :') I may have it downloaded though, I'm pretty sure I do.

My mom walks around the house with only underclothes (it's not naked if you're in your undies!) all the time... since she didn't have any boys, the only guy is her husband ... and since dad never comes up stairs, it just feels natural. I did get scolded as a late teenager for walking around the house without pants a few times. It's just been natural for me not to care around girls.

Walking around in only underclothes amongst other females = very different from something sex-related. It's just completely dissociated from sex in my mind. ...
