I haven't finished to understand why I like this kind of thing

Sort of because Just a Pilgrim, now I'm reading Preacher. 30 issues (out of 66) in, I can say I'm enjoying it far to much. I also feel like it should be a guilty pleasure, but it isn't. o.o

This comic doesn't only acknowledge that it is irreverent, heretic, offensive and gross. It embraces it. Here's a... uh, 'nice' summary from issue 27. It only leaves out brainwashing, child abuse and domestic violence because that character wasn't around for that flashaback. Yet, the plot is quite interesting and the premise very simple enough: this is just a man's (literal) quest for God.

I love the twists, even though they can be very absurd at times, and I love how things get so over the top that you can't help but laugh. And I love how it just keeps breaking my heart now and then.


In a different note, I'm also watching (FINALLY) Kyou Kara Maou's third season. And, due peer presure from [personal profile] countlessuntruths, I started the fourth Percy Jackson book even though I still don't have the last one. :|

I'm actually a little uncomfortable with all of that because I like it better when I'm only reading/watching only one thing at a time from end to finish. Otherwise it tends to be likely that I drop something. There's a reason I like it better when the stuff I'm reading and watching is either finished or the author has announced they have an idea of how long it's going to be. Like Arakawa, who, as I understand it, said Fullmetal Alchemist was going to take around 100 chapters and she's finishing it next month with 108. Or Jim Butcher, who said The Dresden Files are going to be like 20 books and an apocalyptic trilogy.

...

The conclusion I've drawn from all of that is that I'm odd. And that I should be focusing on the prompts I claimed from SPK.

You shouldn't read it if you're not feeling comfortable about it :o And how far are you alredy with KKM?

I'm with you on the 'reading/watching' finished things only D| THE. SUSPENSE DDD| (Of course, there are exceptions, but there always are)

Good luck writing if you get to that :D!

[personal profile] beyourwings 2010-05-31 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Then don't :ooooo I know I'm like that and that's why I have so many ongoing things right now, orz (even though I /do/ try to only focus on one thing... I get distracted by shiny 8|)

I WANT ONE TOO!!! Let's make one appear when Murata comes 8DDDDDDDD

Thought so XD (And I just remembered all those fans telling Uncle Jimmy not to die XD)

[personal profile] beyourwings 2010-06-01 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
YOU CAN DO IT \:D/!!!!!! *cheers for you* (I still have to finish Changes, sob. I'm in cliffhager for about three weeks now xD /fails)

Oooh, okay |D odds are she'll come up with the idea herself once she does XD

...that mental image shouldn't be so cute.

[personal profile] beyourwings 2010-06-01 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
It wasn't random, it was planned :o I can't read Changes on the bus |(

\o\!!

Now I want to wrap Harry in cotton 8D

[personal profile] beyourwings 2010-06-01 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY \:D/ *they wrap him in cotton one night so he won't get hurt ever again!!!!*

...though I was actually thinking of Tamaki for that XD

[personal profile] beyourwings 2010-06-01 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Sort of but not really D: He should and then he'd decide to wrap him in cotton instantly 8((((

[personal profile] beyourwings 2010-06-01 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
That I don't know. Maybe grampa Bob could mention it to him while ranting?

[personal profile] beyourwings 2010-06-01 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
I thought so D: *Tama clings to grampa* Like I told Kmi once, Tama can help with a lot of stuff if only they would tell him -- but most people don't |'D

*love* the icon

I don't know, i feel like Yuuri is a tad more childishinnocent about everything, but I know what you mean.

*/Tama and Yuuri cling in ignorance >':

[personal profile] beyourwings 2010-06-01 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I know ♥ Season 3 helped with me growing fonder of Yuuri, you can really tell how much he grows, you'll see ♥

Only that, with Tamaki, for example, it's so easy to forget his age (I keep pretending he's like 21) but Yuuri still looks his age for me.

We'll get there! Once we stop having 65498 threads at the time... or something

[personal profile] beyourwings 2010-06-01 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, of course, but the attitude helps |D

[personal profile] beyourwings 2010-06-01 02:12 am (UTC)(link)

[personal profile] beyourwings 2010-06-01 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
