on Gintama'

Gintama 211, second ep into the Kabuki-chou arc, and DAMN. I love this series because of, not in spite of, all its crack - but that once a year or so when it drops the comedy and gets its fight shounen on....yowza. The hiatus didn't change that any. And they were clearly saving their budget for this one, too, because it looks gorgeous:

on Karkat

Okay, in some short time from now I will make an honest attempt to pimp Homestuck, because I think actually quite a lot of you might enjoy it for a variety of reasons. But that will wait until I'm entirely caught up, which I'm not yet, because Act 5 is looooooong. (also that this page made me laugh hysterically for a minute straight says things about my sense of humor, none of them complimentry.)

Right now I just have to mention that at present, a good 50% of my Homestuck reading experience is me going (sometimes aloud):

OH KARKAT I LOVE YOU!!!

WAIT WHYYYYY DO I LOVE YOU WHEN YOU ARE SUCH AN OBNOXIOUS OBSCENE PATHETIC LITTLE TROLL AND HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT TO HIM/HER AND I'VE CHANGED MY MIND, I DON'T ACTUALLY LIKE YOU AT ALL BECAUSE YOU ARE SUCH AN OBNOXIOUS OBSCENE AND SO, SO, SO, PATHETIC AND CONFUSED AND DAMAGED LITTLE...

...WAAAH KARKAT I LOVE YOU!!!
