bloodygranuaileMatt's gone.
I don't get to see him for two weeks.
I've broken out my PPC fic again, as I write to ignore the fact that I'm depressed.
What kind of penname is "The_Eavenstar", anyway? Is the author a mini-Balrog? I don't think so; minis are supposed to EAT Suvians, not BE them!
In PPC fic, Claudia and Ella begin to fight about love. I think Ella and Claudia get along to well, generally; however, Ella believes in Twu Wuv and I just believe in wuv, so we can squabble about it endlessly. Stick D and Delyrian in the same department, and voila--instant response-center-partner strife! And repetitive confusion worthy of the Department of Redundancy Department--D and Delyrian in the DRD. And should check the Sparticus and Sparticus idea with Ben 'cos I don't think I talked to him about it. Or maybe I'm just forgetful.
Random excerpt of PPC fic (takes place in HQ after killing Sue):
Ella shuddered as she flopped down on the couch. “Oh, Goddess.”
“You were going to bitch about something,” Claudia reminded her, settling in front of Morgoth.
“Ah, yes, I was.”
“Commence.”
Ella took a deep breath. “At some point right before we killed her, she mentions that she’s never been kissed; she’s only sixteen. Then she mentions that she has a boyfriend. That makes no sense whatsoever—first of all, almost everyone’s been kissed by the time they’re sixteen these days. That whole ‘sweet sixteen and never been kissed’ thing is rare enough that it shouldn’t be paraded as the norm. And, if you’re sixteen and you have a boyfriend, but he’s never kissed you, than it’s not much of a relationship, is it?” she ranted.
Claudia looked thoughtfully at the arm of the chair for a moment, then responded: “That’s not necessarily true.”
Ella raised an eyebrow. “How?”
“I will grant you that people today are usually way too obsessed with sex and romance.” She continued looking thoughtful. “But,”—Ella could hear the space left for a tagline—“the main problem with that point in the story is that she hadn’t mentioned him before.” She looked up from the arm of the chair at her partner. “People aren’t logical about love these days at all. They chop it up into many different types and hold them way too far apart. Despite the fact that the media portrays falling in love with your best friend as a recipe for disaster, in my humble opinion, being friends with your significant other person is imperative for the relationship to work and not just… fizzle out once your hormone level stabilizes. So the fact that she doesn’t care enough about her boyfriend to miss him at all makes it obvious to me, much more so than the fact that he’s never kissed her, that you’re right—it isn’t much of a relationship. Whether or not he’s kissed her is nobody else’s business and shouldn’t be what the relationship’s built on anyway.”
Ella looked thoughtfully at her for a moment. “You do realize you’re analyzing a Sue’s romantic situation in terms of logic?”
Claudia gave an embarrassed grin. “Well, yeah. Emotions are one of the few things I think about practically. Which gets confusing. It explains why I hate the concept of ‘Twu Wuv’ so much, though.”
Ella sighed. “You’re impossible.”
“Earth of water, if I’m not mistaken, and a cynic,” Claudia corrected.
Ella opened her mouth to respond—
[BEEP BEEP BEEP?]
“I’ll leave refuting your argument for another time, then. What’s the beeping for?” she sighed.
Mercuria said 'twasn't too soapboxy... hope she's right...
