In summary: URGH! XD And also KHR.

[firstlight]

- Really getting sick now. Send D1 Hibari fic D1 food Mukuro D1 lemsip D1 help. *being MISERABLE and PATHETIC and SNUFFLING AT EVERYONE because this is totally the END OF THE WORLD* XDDDDDDDD


- Your daily KHR status check. 10 Years Later. I've met Byakuran but for all of two pages so you don't get views on him yet. Character preferences are wavering around the place. I like Hibari and Mukuro best by a considerable margin. I like Squallo and Xanxus to an extent. I have a really odd fondness for Yamamoto that I totally did not see coming at all. Dino is somewhere pretty high up there too but I anticipated that somewhat more than, yanno, Yamamoto. I'm really really glad KHR is so pointless and brainless because oh my god I do not have two braincells to rub together. At some point I stopped being actively freaked out by the babies but I'm not sure I can say much more than that; possibly my last solitary braincell shut down in self-defence and left me unable to feel fear.

I'm torn on this series because I can't claim that I think it's awesome quality so I can't recommend it to people or encourage them particularly in reading it, BUT I am bizarrely addicted despite myself and that does kind of lead to the urge to share my suffering.

So sad.

I'll just babble at Val about it and she can mock me lovingly and then babble at me about her Sparkly Gay Germans In Space or whatever. I'd babble at everyone only she's... less likely to get fed up and murder me, or so my survival instinct is telling me.

If you feel like suffering terrible yet addictive shonen manga which I can only really pimp on the strength of a few characters I'm fond of despite myself, please do join me! ...wow, I are good at sales.


- Still infuriated that something like suet (which, since non-UK people seem unfamiliar with this, is basically just a type of beef fat) is so difficult to find without wheat flour mixed in. We can order it from online shops but they appear to tend towards having quite high minimum order values and uh... ;; (But I want to make a christmas pudding I can eat! ...it wasn't even that important to me at all, but Pez suggested it, and now that we've been thwarted my stubbornness has kicked in and is demanding JUSTICE. AND PUDDING FOR ALL. MEANING ME. Yes, I could almost certainly just buy a pre-made coeliac-friendly christmas pudding. That is entirely not the point. It has become a matter of Principle. *rueful*)


- I... I know I had something else to say. It's escaped. I give up. Probably something to do with further adventures exploring Colchester (we had them). *collapses*

No, reborn isn't really awesome/awesome, but there's something about it that's really addictive. It's brainbreaking the first dozen chapters or so, but then you sort of wrap your mind around the babies and kinda ignore the fact they're babies at all and concentrate on other awesome things like Mukuro, Hibari, Yamamoto, Dino, etc...

I have to say, wrapping my mind around the whole babies thing is still a work in progress 150 chapters in and may take some time to come, but... XD;;;;;;

^^; Did I mention that this is my 2nd read through of reborn? The whole babies thing broke my mind the first time and I quit...and then friends kept saying how AWESOME it was so I kept on reading and now I'm hooked.

XD So totally not surprised. If I hadn't had people who know who they are constantly egging me on I probably would've just given up... well... more or less immediately, to be honest.
