suddenly meme

[jecca_mehlota]

I was on my profile, going through my interests section with the intent of removing a bunch of stuff and adding a few things, and in the process of ticking off the little boxes in the REMOVE half of things, it occurred to me that a lot of my interests are unique to me. So before I go through and rearrange things, why not dig out that meme, or a section of that meme, or... something meme...

Or basically if you want to know what in the world the story behind anything in my interests section is (including any of the non-unique ones), ask away and I will explain as best I am able.

Some of these are going to be looooong

Immortal Blade (of grass) is one of many, maaaany in-jokes that was created during lunch break in my senior year of schooling. This was before Advent Children was even announced, so the Final Fantasy VII fandom hadn't exploded back to life yet, and there were a couple million SEPHIROTH IS AWESOME fics that went alone one of two paths: Sephiroth comes back to life and is good or Sephiroth comes back to life and is bad. And so many of them had ridiculous names.

So the group of us that gathered on the bench in the hall somehow ended up musing on/complaining about this, and someone (possibly myself) was ranting about the names people came up with and tosses out "immortal blade" as a (probably) fake example. And from there, we somehow started talking about our own take, where Sephiroth comes back and manages to destroy the planet. Never mind the how, just know that EVERYTHING IS GONE. Everything.

Except.

Wait.

WHAT IS THAT.

It is a blade of grass. How is it not dead? Very strange! But no matter, it is easily resolved. (OR IS IT?) HE ATTACKS IT! But, impossibly, he misses! That is ridiculous, Sephiroth does not miss. He Supernovas it, summons meteors on it... nothing works. The damn thing has a force field or something (we were going for over-the-top ridiculous, not for something that made sense. EXPLANATIONS ARE NOT NECESSARY). So, when lunch ended, Sephiroth had been reduced to crouching down by it and poking at it uselessly. Because. It was an IMMORTAL BLAAAADE. ...of grass.


...I drew a picture of the grass-poking, and I was going to take a photo of it and post it, but I can't find it, so it must be in a box at home. I guess it will have to wait until I go out there next. Which'll probably be soon. But still.


Making faces at Torn, on the other hand, is fairly simple. Daxter doing exactly that all through the second game (and nearly getting murdered for it every single time) never failed to make me laugh. (Sure, he makes faces at everyone, but for some reason, when it is Torn, it is extra hilarious.)


Take that, you squid! is mostly I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SQUIDS OKAY I have problems with most undersea life at this point, but squids are funny-looking, squid is fun to say, and also when you eat squid, it is kind of like getting revenge on that one from that Ecco game that made you lose a bit more of your sanity than you'd like to admit. It is what (one of the things that) I shouted the first time I finally managed to drop the thing to its death, and also something I have said a couple of times while eating squid. Squid, squid, squid. I think I am probably near, at, or past the comment length limit now.

Hee, I love how Ecco-traumatised you are. Which sounds quite sadistic and, to be honest, probably is.

And that Immortal Blade (of grass) story is amazing. Sephiroth is so frustrated. I just love that he notices a blade of grass is still alive and immediately focuses all his energy on destroying it. IT'S JUST A BLADE OF GRASS, SEPHIROTH.

Yes, probably, but you're certainly not alone, there, so I wouldn't worry too much about it yet. (After all, you haven't sent me a drawing of Ecco sitting down to a meal consisting of MY SOUL.) Even I have to admit that, from a distance, it's kind of funny watching me twitch.


IT COULDN'T POSSIBLY HAVE SURVIVED. It's doing it just to spite him. He'll show it who is boss around here! Someday. Eventually. He hopes.
