It's a sign of true fangirl love that I still like this show even when an entire episode (#60) is dedicated to a villain doing what amounts to Evil Overlord mistakes number 6 and 7 (total confession of what they've been up to).

It's common enough in anime that I can let it slide. I'm guessing it might be a cultural thing, too. Every criminal news story out of Japan I've ever read has a startlingly high confession rate.

In fiction, though, I usually chalk it up to lazy writing. Not that I haven't done it...but unless you have a very good reason to do it, it's still lazy writing.

Just once I'd like to see a narcissistic villain who decides to give away their plot through the magic of puppet theatre. Now that would be creative. Hm!

I desperately want to babble on and on and on about the latest episode of Bleach, except I'm absolutely certain that none of you care.

OMG ICHIGO ZENGATSU WTF???? SUPER SAIYAN SHINIGAMI POWERS ACTIVATE!

Okay, there, I did it. HAPPY? Actually, #39 was really good, but I'm noticing a disturbing pattern of okayep-okayep-GOODEP-okayep-okayep-GOODEP -- urgh.

In the writing world, I am facing a very tough edit at the moment, but I think I can work it out if I can just focus, Pinky, focus.

And in other news, I didn't take this photo, but I did tart it up.

It occurred to me I haven't made any outward displays of dorkiness in a while, and I wanted new backgrounds, so I made them from Bleach graphics, numbering one and two. Graphics were culled from here and here.

First person who hotlinks these suckers gets a noogie. Now with extra noo.

And speaking of my latest guilty pleasure, the last two episodes have pretty much been DBZ-style yawnfests. The show has approximately 16 episodes to go, and it's going to stretch. those. out. any. way. it. can.
