Hurt me.

I am so in trouble ;)

They say that the best kind of fanfic
you can write is the type that would make the character you're writing
about want to kill you... I'm not so sure about that, in terms of
actual quality, but it's still damn fun.

Watashi wa nattobakketto desu! And as if the Amberites didn't already want my head
on a stick... this situation came to mind this morning. Pay no
attention to the fact that there was probably up to a thousand years
between births ^^;;

Chibi Princes of Amber (and Princesses)

*chibi Julian, with chin-length straight black hair, wearing a white paper
vest-thing with scales drawn on in magic marker, sits on the floor
holding leafy branches in each hand. Next to him is a large plastic toy
horse and a little grey puppy, which goes "mmr?" when he points to his
left*

Chibi Julian - Sic him!

*he is indicating, of course...*

*chibi Corwin, with a very... er... loved silver rose pinned to his black shirt, having a face-off with chibi Eric, in red and black, wearing a red jewel on a necklace, obviously
the kind you get from 25 cent machines*

Chibi Corwin - *holding a wooden sword* Feel the wrath of Graywis... Graswa... Griwasi...

Chibi Eric - *smirk*

Chibi Corwin - *baffs him with the sword, then gives an uber-charming smile to chibi Deirdre, who's watching*

Chibi Deirdre - *claps and hides her little wooden ax, which she would have
used to kick Eric's ass had he done anything to Corwin*

*chibi Flora, with a blonde ponytail and a very froofy dress, hovers around
behind chibi Brand, who is sitting at an easel and fingerpainting in
black, blue, and purple*

Chibi Flora - That's scary, brother...

Chibi Brand - *angstangstgrumblemoodymelodramaticsigh* No one understands me.

*chibi Gérard, in blue and grey, barrels into chibi Caine, in green and black*

Chibi Gérard - WRESTLE!!

Chibi Caine - *beans him with a little toy ship* Go AWAY!

*beside them, chibi Benedict, surrounded by thousands of toy soldiers and wooden swords, gives them a world-weary look*

Chibi Benedict - -_-;;;; *goes back to playing with soldiers*

*chibi Random, with very messy blond hair, bangs away on a group of cooking
pots arranged around him. Green-haired chibi Llewella comes over,
leading a brown-haired girl by the hand*

Chibi Llewella - Random, this is my friend Vialle. She wants to listen to you play.

Chibi Random - *blushes*

*chibi Fiona and chibi Bleys are having a tug-of-war with a flat cardboard
box, which says "Magic Tricks for Young Ones of the Blood" on the cover*

Chibi Fiona - I can do it better! Gimme!

Chibi Bleys - No, you can't! You blew up Brand's paint supplies last time and he BIT me *they struggle, and it explodes in sparkly fireworks, getting them both all sooty*

And I think... that's all. I don't think I missed anyone.

Eh heh... eh heh heh ^^;;;;;;;;

Horn of Gondor

You know, that title really has far too many nasty implications than this post is going to warrant.

Excuse me whilst I, once again, rant about fans and Tolkien. Feel free, as always, to just ignore this ^^;;

I refuse to believe that I am a silly, brainless fangirl because I don't think Boromir was a bloody SAINT.

Okay.
They don't think he was a saint. But it just seems that all the
self-righteous smart people out there who have loud opinions about
Tolkien, the ones who talk intelligently about it and not the crazy
adolescent Legomance writers, all think Boromir is just so abused.
And yes. I cringe when I see stories in which he commits unspeakable
acts upon random members of the Fellowship and/or Mary Sues, just
because he's really the only one these writers would put in that role.
But STILL. If I have to hear one more time about how misunderstood and
abused and gallant and angsty Boromir is... I dunno what I'm going to
do. Certainly not rant in my deadjournal again, because that's this
entry's moment of bitchiness. Arg.

I found one fanfic where the
writer claimed to be vehemently sticking to book canon... and which
mainly consisted of Boromir yaoi. RIGHT. Slash and canon LotR is about
as improbable as you get. I mean, these people can go ahead and write
all the slash they want - depending on who it is, I'll probably read it
- but don't say you're upholding the tradition of old Professor Tolkien
himself. That's just crazy >_<

And I'm not saying that
Boromir is, as people mocking fangirls have put it, "EEEEEEVIL," but
he's not a nice guy. The first thing he does is make a great impression
of himself by putting down Aragorn, and it's beyond me why Aragorn is
so damn nice to him when he gets shot full of Orc-arrows, since all
they really did the entire time was try to keep away from each other's
throats. Yes, I know, Boromir redeemed himself by dying to save the
hobbits. I know. And I'm glad he did, it would have been awful for the
guy to have just been killed after exacting his Ring-lunacy on poor
little Frodo. But... geez. Maybe I'm just biased, because when you're
eight years old, you don't pick up on subtle nuances when it comes to a
character's moral identity, and I just thought Boromir was a JERK.
Maybe that's why I still don't like him. They made him into such a
sympathetic angst puppy in the movie, though, and you'd think these
purists would get all mad about that - since they get mad about
anything else done differently in the films - but apparently not. Or
maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place. Or maybe I'm wrong
altogether, and I didn't pay enough attention when I read the trilogy
over (and over and over) once I was a thinking adult. And that term is
probably still up for debate.

And I probably should be writing opinionated editorials when I feel like I'm going to cough up a lung O_o

*HACK*

Finished. Aah, bed looks good...



*wrote Simon flashback... a little one. Please by that opportunity, at least*
