Lost Boy

Did anyone see that Con Bravo Q and A video Linkara did? I'm going to mention a spoiler for it, so if you didn't see it, skip the next few lines.

He totally hinted that the next episode of the show would feature something bad happening at the homebase! Oh no! I can't take something else happening to the team if Linkara isn't there to protect them! I

lmao I love the ending there.

Seriously Linkara, haven't you invested in a compass yet? XD

[ocelot_l]

Thank you! The ending was actually what I came up with first, then I wrote the rest of the story to lead up to it. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I know, how can Linkara not have thought to bring any navigational tools with him? What a silly Champion he is.

LOLOLOL I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of Ryouga when Linkara got so lost. Apparently he uses his magic to find his way places, who knew? LOL.

I love that NSD has a lot of Feelings about Ranma 1/2, but really, if he's such a fan of Rumiko Takahashi's work, then he should know better than to expect a good ending. It'd be like CLAMP fans complaining about gay subtext and soul-crushing angst.

Yes, someone else is thinking of Linkara as Ryouga! It's just amazing how poorly Linkara is doing at travelling without his magic. It's like, dude, didn't you learn anything about how the stars can guide you or moss growing on the north sides of trees? No basic Boy-Scout level things? Lol, oh well, at least him getting lost is as amusing as when Ryouga does it.

Hahaha, I see NSD as this devoted fanboy of certain series/authors/relationships, and even though he knows better, he can't help getting wrapped up in it all no matter how much the outcomes break his heart. So even though he's aware that Takahashi does not always give the endings readers want, he can't help hoping for them anyway.

LOL on CLAMP. I'm a fan who complains about their obsession with people losing eyes. There are so many examples of that happening that it's a bit worrying, haha.

So many little awesome things in this.

90s Kid somehow being able to interrupt a pre-written card, NSD's offense to the term "Japanamation" (a word that of course 90s Kid would use)and NSD becoming out of breath after his rant even though all he's doing is holding up cards.

NSD and 90s Kid bonding over fanfiction of all things! And the completely different ways the two write out their stories fits them perfectly. NSD taking notes and trying to understand characters before writing, and 90s Kid just scribbling out random crossovers and anything he thinks sounds cool.

Linkara ending up all the way in Florida! XDD *sporfles*

I'm so glad you liked this! I'm really happy with how it turned out and I'm thrilled you enjoyed so many aspects of it!

I love the idea of Linkara's characters all being into nerdy things and bonding over them. Since Harvey has Pokemon and 90s Kid has Care Bears, ponies, and 90s comics/cartoons, I thought anime would fit Ninja-Style Dancer. He totally geeks out over his favorite couples and shows, and 90s Kid is so happy to hang with someone that he doesn't mind at all. Then they both talk about crossover ideas for their favorite shows and are adorably nerdy together! :)

Haha, yeah I wrote this whole thing just to include that joke. I wonder how far south Linkara will end up before he reaches his intended destination.

I know its random to just reply to this for the first time now (and I'm really sorry about that). I first read it months ago, but for some reason never responded. But today I was scrolling through stuff to read as a distraction, and reread it just for fun. ^_

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! ^_
