Return of drabble: intermission and meme

Two to go in this round. Yes, I'm on it - halfway through the Hiroyuki one. ^_^ This is something else, though; kind of inspired by acadine's intricate Snape character blurb. I told her I'd do one for Crawford, but halfway through I decided a musespace-wide sampler would be more interesting.

CRACK CRACK COCAINE HALLUCINOGENS CRACK! Don't say you weren't warned.

( things you don't know about my characters )

I mean this to be a meme, because I want to hear about your character gremlin lore of which you're secretly convinced, but that you leave out of your stories due to sheer crackishness. ^_^ Out with it.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

"The animation was great, but the manga made more sense."

...I haven't actually read more than the first issue of the comic. But you know how sometimes you walk out of a sleek big-budget anime movie certain that it all must have made sense in the manga? Yeah. I quite liked From Hell as a film, not having read the graphic novel first, so I figured a similar approach would be enough to avoid trauma. Turns out I'd have to have been ignorant of all of the original novels as well, so no help there. Methinks this is actually a mild bout of what people who grew up reading actual comics must feel about some of the superhero flicks that have come down the line recently. "Um. Um, no, you - you can't do that. ...Damn you."

Though it was quite pretty in a severely desaturated (and in fact totally not steampunk) sort of way.
