Lavi, I think you're going to make a crappy Bookman too. But that's what makes you so awesome. Did you read my theory about the Heart of the Innocence? Let me know once you've reached there (you are close) so we can discuss.

[bob_fish]

Yes, me too (obviously). Bookmen ≠ glompers. Is your theory that Lavi's the Heart because - well, he's a glomper? His whole window-smashing scene was epic. And his rescue of Lenalee (although it kind of cuts into her moment of awesome there) - does he have a wee little thing for her or what? Oh, and btw that new jacket is totally cut to show off his butt.

Re: Lavi as the Heart, and also Kanda theories that has since been completely jossed.

[bob_fish]

That would be super-cool! Personally, I can see them jumping for Lenalee as the Heart so far. But I think I'd like Lavi better. BTW I cheated and read the latest chapter and now know Kanda's sekrit backstory. But how does this joss your theory that he's into guys? I THINK IT DOES NOT, ACTUALLY.

I love Lavi <3 Not seen the anime yet, I've been reading the mannga the last couple of years and am up to ch 149 as that's all that's been published in the UK ¬_¬ 3 month gaps between volumes :(

I like his ideas for teasing Krory, I think I would have gone with trying to put things up his nose :D And agree that he will be a rubbish Bookman, he's definitely too cuddly!

[bob_fish]

I love Lavi too! Who doesn't love Lavi? Frankly, I don't trust people who don't love Lavi.

I think things up his nose is probably the best one too, but Krory is pretty badass by this point in the manga when his blood's up (so to speak), so it might not be an entirely sensible idea.

[became_fire]

This is true, but I think Lavi would manage to charm his way out of Krory's bad books pretty quick. Everyone does love him after all as you said, and if they don't then they're clearly akuma and dead inside.

[bob_fish]

Hee, probably so, and Krory is pretty easy to get around with cunning. I think Lavi's a bit nervous of the whole neck thing, though.

Love for the Allen/Lavi icon. I can't quite decide who to ship Lavi with. He's like ketchup, he kind of goes with everything. XD

[cornerofmadness]

Yes Lavi, you're far too attached to be a good bookman I'm afraid. I feel sorry for you, really. I do.

and you should have just taken your chances with Krory's reflexes and kicked him one

[bob_fish]

Ha, that would have definitely been funnier - but the prompt called for pensive so he had to spend most of the fic ruling out more entertaining things to do than angst.

I was bored the other day and actually came close to making an icon with Krory crying and your new slogan "Twilight: ruining vampires for the rest of us."

[cornerofmadness]

hahaha that would have been so amusing. Got thru the second disc of the anime. This is one that if I had the time I would do with subtitles (I'm usually multitasking and can't do that). While the actors can act, their voices don't fit and are incredibly grating

[enemytosleep]

The japanese VA's are SO MUCH BETTER. I purchased a pirated version of the entire series where the person who wrote the subtitles obviously spoke English as a second language, and it was still a far more pleasant experience than watching it in English.
