So Kid is Shien now. Shien is tiny and adorable and kinda somber and kinda...disaffected.

( This is where I talk about Kid's upbringing and why Shien is the way he is. )

I THINK I FOUND THE SEIBU MANAGER

IT WAS KIND OF LIKE "WHERE'S WALDO".



...NO FURTHER COMMENT.


REALLY, NONE.



(Well, except for maybe THAT'S A SEXY IMAGE.

Free pony to anyone who can fish up some data.

They should rename the team THE SEIBU SKANKS.)

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD THIS WAS TO ACTUALLY WORD. I HAVE LIKE EIGHT SCRAPPED DRAFTS.

ABOUT KID.

AND A CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED--




( ...HETEROSEXUALITY ACTUALLY. Some stuff about Kid and girls, some stuff about sex, and, uh, I'm still working on the Mamori essay, kind of. )

So, uh, essay meme goes here. Ask me about Kid--or, really, anyone, especially if you want to remind me to write something I promised to write, like, ages ago.

Interesting topics I think I ought to write about include:

• Kid versus Hiruma: BRAIN SEX OR ULTIMATE BATTLE? (Also known as, in certain sane and rational realms, KID ON HIRUMA BUT ALSO NOT IN THE BROKEBACK WAY--right, maybe I was kidding about the sane and rational shit.)
  
  
• Ikkaku's concubines. I mean, paramours. I MEAN.
  
  
• Rukia's reaction to her de-aging, which I actually haven't gotten around to playing out yet but, uh. Yeah. It got to her.
  
  
• Rukia and romance, just because she's actually probably the most complex character I've got right about now.
  
  
• Watanuki and Himawari and Doumeki as of recent HOLiC chapters--and, well, Watanuki in general and his maturity and shit and how that goes over the course of the series.
  
  
• My characters and their speaking patterns and the way they treat people upon first meeting them and all that jazz.

There's some other stuff that will definitely go up somewhere, too, like an apologia of sorts re: the great Lacus Clyne drop of, uh, October 2006. TILL THEN, THOUGH, this will have to do.

So, yeah.

Less of an essay than an attempt to gather my thoughts on my brand new UNINTERESTING ASEXUAL COWBOY.

( A HELL OF A LOT OF THINGS YOU DIDN'T NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MUSYANOKOJI SHIEN )

More to come later.
