I work at McDonald’s, and I’ve become psychotically addicted to the food. So today, many hours after my shift was over, I was in there with my sister getting lunch. We were discussing — what else? — hot anime guys. I’m not sure how it came about, but McBishounen’s evolved in our minds somewhere between the ATM and the counter. So picture this: a chic, modern, cafe-style store (and don’t even call it a brothel) selling all your favorite anime guys. The conversations might go as follows:
EMPLOYEE: What can I get for you?
CUSTOMER: How much is Kiryuu Touga?
EMPLOYEE: He’s on sale for 99 cents.
CUSTOMER: I’ll take three.
EMPLOYEE: Anything else for you?
CUSTOMER: Yeah, a small order of Sesshomaru.
EMPLOYEE: For here or to go?
CUSTOMER: To go, of course!
EMPLOYEE: OK, that’ll be $4.41.
And in the drive-thru…
EMPLOYEE: Welcome to McBishounen’s; can I take your order?
CUSTOMER: Yes, I’d like Sagara Sanosuke — light on the clothes, please — and Vash the Stampede.
EMPLOYEE: I’m sorry, ma’am, it’s going to be about a four minute wait on Vash…
CUSTOMER: That’s OK; I can park.
EMPLOYEE: Will that be all, then?
CUSTOMER: Yes.
EMPLOYEE: $5.40 at the next window.
So that’s my random, demented thought for the day…. though my sister helped with it a bit. Her livejournal name is thebabeofinuyasha, in case you’re curious… she’s one of my friends.
VASH-SAMA!!!
Shards. Don’t tease me about having a Vash the Stampede for sale. *merps*
What I need is to find a plush-Vash-sama to sleep with. anyone know where I can get one?
heh heh…
What I need is to find the real Vash-sama to sleep with….
Oops, you didn’t hear me say that…. Lydia will strangle me….
Re: heh heh…
ah.. well, you’ve got third dibs anyway.
Scary. . .
I feel so strange, posting here, but I really want to know what will happen if I “attack you.” Well, that and I just noticed another instance of parallelism in the newest GEF page–the ahou/shit responses. Man, anymore parallelism and something is going to explode. . . Is it something like with what you said about Tokio, instinctive and analyzed afterward? I honestly think that’s about the only way stuff like that happens. . . Can you imagine trying to consciously remember all those little details and techniques?
Ah, I was also wondering about the two mirror panels in GEF16–were those also supposed to represent a bit of the parallelism, or did they just make for a more balanced panel?

(how could i be proper stalker/courter if i didn’t lurk around your ljs?)
Heh
You are now officially the first person to have made a response in this lj. Sasuga stalker Jadey! And all that happens when you “attack” me is that you get to see my cool comments link! Well, that, and I ramble on for quite a while, thus:
That’s an interesting question, now that you’ve made me think about it. See, I plan out the pages beforehand in Word (not the pics; just the dialogue and thoughts), and in my original plan, it was “Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.” Then when I went to put that into the page, I found myself changing it for apparently no reason. I didn’t realize why I’d cut it down to three and used periods rather than commas until I looked at the whole page. So I guess it was rather the instinctive thing, wasn’t it? *g*
And although I may have ideas for deeper meanings in the art, those rarely get carried out because I struggle just to get the pictures remotely the way I want them to look in the first place. So feel free to consider the mirror panels symbolic as you please; the only reason they are like that is because that way all I had to draw was Saitou’s head and the (crooked) mirror frame, and then I could do the mirror effect after I’d scanned it! Ah, laziness, the bane of my existence.
=D
Oh God, this page is hilarious; especially when Sano goes all “I’m Saitou.” to which Saitou himself indifferently retorts with an obvious “No. No you’re not.” I had already cracked at Sano doing muscle poses on the mirror but that line from Saitou killed me. And then the realization. Saitou cursing. The best. :’D
I’m too f-cking lazy to leave commentaries but I really have to let you know how much of a SaiSa Goddess you are (as if you didn’t already know); I love your fanfictions to death. Gonna love this doujinshi to death as well, I’m sure of it.
Thank you!! I’m very glad you like my fanfiction ^__^ It’s always so wonderful to find another Saitou/Sano fan!
