incandescensI was playing Little Shop of Horrors earlier. There was a moral imperative to pace around the room during the big plant song. Who am I to disobey a moral imperative?
I am also a sad person who has located and printed out a walkthrough for the first part of Divine Divinity. Skeletons, prepare to eat Meteor Blast.
Okay, now I have the seriously bad image of the Diablo II game written up storyline-wise as a manga. Probably shounen rather than shoujo, though you could make a case for . . .
. . . make a case for . . .
Oh dear.
Let's see. Diablo is actually bishonen, tall and long-haired, pondering the ravaging of the mortal world in an angstful way, and of course he was once half-brother of the Archangel Tyrael (with plentiful yaoi overtones), and his minion Baal came between them and still seeks a horrible vengeance on Tyrael, while of the mortal heroes seeking to fulfil the quest and slay Baal, the Amazon and the Sorceress are having a yuri relationship in the corner, while the Assassin gloomily nurtures (and badly hides) a deep affection for the Paladin, who of course is vowed to chastity due to his holy orders, while at the same time being the cousin of the Barbarian, who has a man-man relationship with the Druid where they keep on beating each other up in a way that has _tons_ of yaoi overtones, and the Necromancer in the other corner is (counts remaining characters on fingers -- whoops, ran out) making a love triangle with someone or other, while trying to ignore the fact that he's vowed himself to dark powers and will meet a ghastly fate or betray the group or all of the above.
Bubble. Fizz.
Oh, and there's probably a prophecy.
Because.
