for the record, i'm blaming joseph michael linsner for any mental issues i incur, or will incur in others by the following...
or maybe, comics. yes. comics in general. they corrupt the mind and pollute the spirit...! stay away from comics, all ye young impressionable children....
so, i got ``good omens" in the mail today (ahem), and i start reading it. in the dramatis personae: supernatural beings section it says,
``God (God)
Metatron (The Voice of God)
Aziraphale (An angel, and part-time rare book dealer)
Satan (A fallen angel; The Adversary)" etc etc....
and as soon as i see `the adversary' i go... `oooh, i wonder if they're in love in this story, too. i hope so'.
*facepalms*
i'm hopeless.
appropriating others' characters for one's own amusement is one thing. but metaphysical concepts?? ha.
ever since i wrote that story (the adam/lucifer slash one), i've been unable to get rid of this idea that lucifer and god are OTP. i mean, really. this is taking things a bit too far, i'm sure. i mean, is this more or less `embarrassing' than telling people you think pan & hook, or the little prince & the fox, or draco & harry are meant to be together? in dawn (linsner's comic), lucifer is just kind of casually shown to have this major thing for god, but god is too uptight and cosmic-order-obsessed. it's like a het comic, i guess (*laughs*), but i didn't even bat an eyelash at the god/lucifer thing, it seemed perfectly obvious. it's weird the way slash sneaks up on you in some comics. femmeslash more often, of course.
in `strangers in paradise', francine & katchoo as -so- obvious it's not even femmeslash, but still. but i love throw-away pairings, like hazel & foxglove in `the sandman', say. actually, i don't want francine & katchoo to get together. i'm rooting for david, dammit...!! gah..!
i always go for the underdog. underdog!het, heheheh
no this in no way means i'll ever warm to ginny.
hm. it's so sucky, because i kinda like katchoo & francine together, and they's so good together-- but, david...! what about david?? he challenges katchoo's ideas of who she is, and of course i love that. and it's not like i want francine to end up with some shmuck-- ok maybe i do-- i do so love her ex, even though he is a bumbling pig. he's just so pathetic, ya gotta love him. or at least feel bad that he never gets what he needs.
er anyway, not that anyone cares about my opinions of sip, but i like rambling. lucifer: the ultimate underdog! ha. you could say, `The Adversary' is a concept that's given me a number of OTPs, but i don't like to generalize that much. i mean. otherwise i'll be shipping harry/tom & i'd really shoot myself before -that- happens.
