My little sis just posted her first music vid ever, which I command you all to go and watch, because it is the awesome. And then you must tell her how it is the awesome, so she does more of them. Lots more. For me. Oh, I have plans...(hey, I have been gnine's fic-bitch for years. It's my turn, baby!)

It's a Smallville vid, camp angsty Clex, set to a Motown classic.

What becomes of the broken-hearted? Why, they become supervillains!

Now, back to writing Lex/Kaiba. Oh I am so going to hell.

.......*cackles at icon* Hooo man, never thought of those two fandoms together... XD

Ok, sorry. I'm done now... *snicker*... really.... (I guess 'bald' is better than 'green hair', anyway)

I'll check out the vid later, if I can remember; can't access it at work, so I'll have to wait 'till I get home and hope my mind isn't mush by then. Gotta check out your recent fic, too; wow, been too busy lately. Hope you're well~ ^_^

*laughs* in all honesty, one of the reasons I fell so~ hard for Kaiba was that he reminded me so much of young Lex. Young tortured supergenius businessmen...it's a match made in...er...hell. Eheh.

good luck surviving work! ^^

Sorry, I adore your icon... it's got me in giggle fits!

Lex/Kaiba?!? No. I don't want to know. **hangs head hopelessly**

[yma2.livejournal.com]

1: Great vid. I left a comment at her LJ.

2: You're writing Lex/Kaiba? Oh, I do so love you!

3: I also ADORE your icon!

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Hee, yah, the Lex/Kaiba's just sort of happening. It's schoolboy smut (hey, I can't write future-Lex with Kaiba, he's Clark's, darnit!) will haveta see where it goes...

And thanks for the icon love! Lex can be very Kaiba-like at times, it's the whole young supervillains-in-training thing. ^^ (your own icon cracks me up every time!)

[yma2.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm looking forward to reading that. I hope you do put it up, I really do!

I'm glad you liked my icon. It was kinda my main reaction to watching that whole blowing up of Duel Tower part. I just laughed so hard at that because, you know, he's stuck with all this angst. So he could, I don't know, go to counceling, talk to his brother, practice meditation, do some self help, get pissed, get laid or, OR. OR... he could BLOW SHIT UP.
Because, you know, that's really going to help the situation.
Also, I worry about the fact he chooses to explode the large phalic buiding he made to be larger than his adopted father's large phalic building because he lost a game.
I mean... dude...

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

...ah, yeah, I forget that in the anime he blows up the tower 'cuz he loses the game. In the manga that was his plan either way, to erase everything Gozaburo had created...(which, um, still - yes, Kaiba, explosions are the solutions to anything! I love Seto when he actually acts like the brat teen he really is...)

[immicolia.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha! Lex/Kaiba for the effing WIN! and I'm not even really into Superman related stuff, but I still know that idea kicks so much ass whatever to the Kaibas and Winchesters thing you talked about once upon a time *emos*

and no matter what hell you wind up in for that, I'm still in the Special Hell for........ everything I've written in the past three-four days alone XD

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Ahhh I couldn't help it, they're just way too much alike. It's not Superman though, this is Lex Luthor-at-15 private academy schoolboy smut. It's fanon/borderline canon that Lex was a boy slut (the sex is canon, the boys are fanon) and if Gozaburo sent Kaiba abroad for a few months for his English...

Kaibas & Winchesters ran into the trouble that I realized it would work so much better if they were the same age but that would involve rewriting half of what I had and I panicked and ran away...wah!

aw, hell-buddies! I'll see you in the 8th circle! we can roast marshmallows over the flaming bodies of the damned!

[jakrar.livejournal.com]

Ignorant person that I am, I must ask: who is this Kaiba? And is he good enough -- or bad enough, or sexy enough -- for a young Lex?

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Heh...Seto Kaiba. Yeah. He's one of my all-time fave anime chars, a brilliant young orphan adopted and raised by the head of a massive corporation, who sadistically 'trained' him to be the ultimate CEO, cold-blooded and ruthless. This worked a little too well; at 16 Kaiba took over KaibaCorp, lock stock and barrel; his adopted father suicided and Kaiba...well, it's a long story. He was well on his way to becoming a supervillain (but he's feeling much better...)

But you can see why he and Lex would get along. (Truth be told I'm still a Clex OTPer to the core, so it's a doomed relationship from the start, but I couldn't help it!...)

(...somewhere around here I should admit that he's one of the main chars of Yu-Gi-Oh, the completely terrible way-too-popular cardgame kid's anime, but then I'd have to get into my whole rant on how badly the Japanese anime screwed up the original manga, and how badly the American dub then screwed up the Japanese anime, and you've probably heard enough already...)

[jakrar.livejournal.com]

So...is this original manga available in the U.S. in English translation? And is that the route to go in getting to know Seto Kaiba?

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

It is; and you can find it in at any Borders manga section! I have quibbles with the translations but they're decent overall. Um. I have to warn you that it is a kid's manga (though Japan has more respect for what kids can handle). I also must warn that Kaiba isn't a major char until the second half; he starts out as one of many villains, and a pretty obnoxious and two-dimensional one, too. (Actually I hated the char until his third appearance, when he got a personality makeover...) Also also I have to warn that Kaiba's backstory is given in about 4 pages total and thus much of what I & others write about his past is extrapolated from little hints.

Ah, enough warnings - my original sort-of-pimping post can give an idea of what you'd be in for. It's not for everyone, but I'm not the only one who got more obsessed than I really ought to be (and it's mostly Kaiba's fault...)

Thanks for the info! I may have to look into this....
