Fabulous and funny and in-character as usual! Bonus points for the Earl making an appearance. There just isn't enough Earl in fics out there. ♥

(Also, I have a small fish that killed every one of his brethren. I've been calling him "the albino fish" and "the little asshole" until now, but...but I think I may have to officially name him "Incarnation of Death" now.)

Thanks for the comment! Yes, this is the first fic of mine where the Earl actually shows up, although I have mentioned him a couple of times before. He'll be appearing again as the story requires. There are people out there who love the Earl, but now that you mention it I don't think I've seen any fics about him. There's a lot of potential there because he's so mysterious and has unknown motives. Personally I'm only interested in him inasmuch as he relates to the Noahs.

I almost changed that name to "Incarnation of Evil" as a reference to a horribly bad series of fantasy books that actually contained the line "This was no chicken. This was evil incarnate." and meant it seriously.

Sounds like your psycho killer fish has earned the name "Incarnation of Death." o.o;; Poor other fishies.

Oh lol. I read "a horribly bad series of fantasy books" and automatically thought "Terry Goodkind". Then I Googled the chicken quote and lo and behold...

Exactly. I've never read the Sword of Truth series, but one of my friends read the first book and was horrified by the violence. And this particular friend loves horrifically violent movies.

I later went on to enjoy reading people mocking Terry Goodkind and his writing. It's a train-wreck level of badness. And the mockers are hilarious.

Hilarious! ^-^ You do a wonderfull job of keeping everyone in character while they act like idiots. Your descriptions of things, rooms, and people are amazing as well!

(PS. I'm Eternally-Blind from dA. ^-^)

Ohhh, hello! So that's why I couldn't find your LJ.

I'm glad you find everyone to be in character. The way I write humor means the characters might act stupider than usual (depending on how stupid they are in the first place), but they should be doing so in in-character ways. XD

Thanks for commenting. *pets Jasdero icon*

(hurrah, I finally have time to sit down and enjoy your stories again!)

Haha, this one was very cute! I'm very impressed by how you were able to keep them in-character for such a fun story :). You always have such great ideas for these 'slice of life' (? for lack of a better term) fics and the illustration is a sweet added touch as well, hehe <3

(Yay, thanks for commenting!)

I love writing these happy slice-of-life fics about villains. And I have more ideas than I could ever write. XD

Amazing! This fanfiction was humorous yet still perfectly in canon.
I can actually picture Noah clan's "family time" being along these lines! And Jasdero's pet chicken sounds adorable. ♥

Thanks for reading!

I bet Jasdero and Devit are the only villains with a pet chicken.

They probably are.
And this adds extra points to their awesomess.
