Late, late

Unlocked the last entry, so everyone can understand what I mean when I say I don't fic for historical series because I'd get into trouble.

(Will note in passing something I forgot totally this afternoon, which is that Okita in Gohatto reads Ugetsu Monogatari and Discovers BL Innit. I'm too tired to relate this back to the theorising in a coherent manner; will only note that the first time I saw the film this made me laugh like a maniac, despite the Deep Metaphorical Significance of the scene. Easily amused doesn't half cover it.)

Saving my oh-so-witty commentary re Saizo x P-chan for another day - before I collapse into a heap I have to inform the world at large of this manga T randomly picked off the G-COMI shelf, Mawata no Oukou by Minamino Mashiro. (Manga Bonbons page, scroll down - dear saints there's a second volume of it.) Basically it's The Velveteen Rabbit, Boypr0n Version. Bunny becomes real (bishounen), and talks in a cute Kansai accent he learnt from boy's mummy, but is bashful of sleeping with boy because - I think I've got this right - he's afraid of losing his stuffing. So boy spends tankoubon persuading bunny. There is a little brother and a nosy neighbour. Hijinks ensue; no scarlet fever as of yet.

...Some of you are probably broken. That's fine with me. This last bit was all about sharing out the pain.

>_< >_< >_<

Uh.... Consider the pain shared. Now I'm thinking there's a whole series of manga dedicated to similar themes.

Well, I dunno. There's all the "a boy and his pet" stories - the doggie who turns into a bishounen, the kitty who turns into a bishounen, the goldfish who turns into a bishounen (and that one even had the feel of old-school sentimental children's lit, the kind that made you-the-child feel guilty for something you haven't done yet. Also it was pr0n). I'm used to all those. ^_^; But "a boy and his plush toy" is a first.

...I'm really waiting for someone to make a Kumagoro and/or Nii-hakase joke here.

Yeah, it's just so internet-fetish, isn't it? Plushies....

No, it's just the Velveteen rabbit ref that does it for me.

You should dare someone to do Nii/bunny.

I don't suppose there's a possibility for scans to be shared as well? ^_^

T said she'd scan some from her lot. I'll see if there's something. ^_^;
