A Little Bit of Everything!
Yesterday I had a sudden compulsion to be masochistic. Now, you may say, "Well, that's not a very bright idea youngster!" and I say to you... well, yes. You're right. But it's one of those morbid curiosities about the unexplainable horrors of life, like a fascination with what lies at the edge of death, or what that fake chicken that has a slight bounce to it at the school lunch is really made up of. I found myself indulging in one of those twisted, life-questioning curiosities. Yes, I'm sorry to admit...
I watched my DVD set of Angel Sanctuary.
It must have been a desire to damn myself into the flames of hell, because that is pretty much what happened. I endured like enduring each one of the tortures of a thousand tortures in a thousand eternities in Satan's little party room. But, I should try my best to explain the plot to you as best I can first, so maybe, just maybe, you do not make the same mistake I do and get sucked into its neverending void.
Here's a basic summary: Setsuna, just an ordinary teenage boy, is really not an ordinary teenage boy, following in close tradition to some other anime cliches. But those cliches happen to be good. In this rendition, Setsuna happens to be the reincarnation of Alexiel, the Organic Angel, one of the highest of seraphim in the Choir of Angels. This particular angel is also a female. And why is she called the Organic Angel? Why, because her twin brother, Raciel, is the Inorganic Angel. And why is he the Inorganic Angel? Because the title seemed like a super-nifty coolies one to the creators! since they decide not to expand upon that idea at all. Just, "Ooo, look at him, he's the Inorganic ANGEL this anime must be really kul!" But it's not. I promise.
Let's talk about Raciel for a second, just for funsies. He happens to be the villain of the story, yet not really because he's just a psychotic, whiny baby with way too much power at his disposal that he never uses in favor of inexplicably clinging to his subordinate (whose name has been drowned out by the many other horrors of this OVA), asking if he is pretty, and obsessing over his reincarnated sister. See, he just wants to be the prettiest little princess, but GASP his sister was too too busy waging war against God to tell him he was pretty and have sickeningly incestual angelsex with him. Why was she waging a war against God? Does it really matter, in the face of Raciel's terrible emo suffering? Poor Raciel, shedding his incesttears. :(
But since incest seems to be the running theme and plot of the story, since there really isn't much else beyond it, the familial lovin' don't stop there, oh no it don't! Setsuna happens to be obsessed with his half-sister in the same way Raciel is obsessed with him, minus the wanting to kill her factor and heightening the 'I want to make teh_b4biez wit u' factor. Unfortunately, Setsuna must also grieve in his littlest emo corner because alas, she is his sister, and their mother stands in the way of their sweet mountain-folk love.
There's also tons more yaoi like needle to the eyes for you to delight in, a best friend who makes a poor attempt at being the Sephirot (and who is also supposed to be Lucifer at the same time but, alas, they forget this in the anime), and an ending that really isn't an ending at all as much as it is a release from horrible, hellish agony.
I felt like hugging my mother, sending well wishes and gifts to my sister, and letting my father know just how much I truly cared after watching this show just because I survived after it. I feel more alive than I ever have after seeing a glimpse of at the Kingdom of Heaven and...
... realizing it is full of gay, incestuous angels.
I also watched it in dub, in case you were wondering if I like inflicting emotional pain on myself. :D
I'm not tired at all, which has been a constant of my mornings lately. It's nice, but weird. I feel as if at any given moment I might shake and explode just because, that's what happens when you feel this good in the morning. Or an alien will burst out of my stomach, I don't know. Something that's so excessively gory it belongs in a cheap horror movie like House of Wax, at least.
d&d wuz fun but u guise andrew is really loud an lieks to hit me at random an it makes me go :( liek whoa b/c i noes sum1 who did taht an he wusnt my friend but he doesnt exist :( an andrew does wah
I actually can't wait for tomorrow, gasp! Because though it is school, I also have no work all next week. It's going to be a lot of fun.
Someone needs to remind me not to eat sweets anymore like eating a sundae at Denny's because I was like "HAY i tihnk it wud b a grate idea to eat this sunday :DDD" and then after was like "omg noes i feel teh fat an nawshus an i haet u sunday i cant be ur friend no more :(((" and it hurt me to do that to the sundae, because I already ate it and I'm pretty sure it made my stomach feel worse in angstful anger afterwards.
BUT ANYWAY I think I'm going to make a new icon an don't try to stop me coz i'm krazy an might go insanezorz :| Suggest me a series to make an icon from. Anime, game, book, movie whatever. Though book might be kind of hard to pull off. So don't do that. Plz kthx otherwise i will disown u as my friend an hire a hitman in a whacky zany scheme to kill you that will end up, ultimately, blowing up in my face. Literally. With a bomb.
EDIT: This LJ entry is very violent, upon further reflection. I apologize to any who may be offended by this! I'msosorryplz4giveme.
Also, I may say it a lot, but I'm going to say it again because I can. Best of wishes to everyone this week, and I hope the days are significant improvements over the last. Much love! <3
