Hypothetically speaking, this is also all Lyzz's fault.

[Poll #997863]


I'm also currently debating how many really bad Boys Love stereotypes I should use. And mostly leaning towards "few, if any".

...To hypothetically use, that is.

It makes me happy when things are my fault. :D (Also, superb poll title.)

I clicked the ones I personally would prefer. (Right now, I'm kinda leaning toward the "completely accurate modern + Greek pantheon", thanks to having just finished the third Percy Jackson book. And starting to re-read the first two. ^^;) HOWEVER, it is, in fact, entirely up to you. Oh, and I also would go with the "few, if any" bad Boys' Love stereotypes idea. I rather respect Apollo now, and I would like to keep it that way. XD

[soc_puppet]

Because we all know that blame = love. (Thanks XD)

(I figured as much ^^a Though I currently have the most ideas for the Jetpack Brigade world.) If I did too many, it would probably end up being a parody story. At the moment, Apollo is leaning towards being a somewhat stereotypical seme, definitely in appearance and also possibly somewhat in attitude, but that's probably just because he's a Greek god.

(I have no idea where you have pulled this Jetpack Brigade thing from, but it sounds rather amusing. XD) For memory's sake, run me through the attitude of a stereotypical seme, just so I can see if that meshes with my mental image of him.

[soc_puppet]

(Jetpack brigade is mostly so I can have something that a boy would try to fly with, and something that would burn his wings up, so :3) I'll try my best? Um. Here it would mostly be that he's more experienced in the Ways of the World than Icarus, and thus Knows Better. He's probably more than willing to whisk Icarus away from his current lifestyle to one of luxury among the gods, etc. Icarus is a little reluctant to leave his current life, so Apollo lets him stay begrudgingly. And, uh, jeez, I dunno. Really mostly looks, I think, possibly with a 'god complex', except how it's justified 'cuz he is a god.

(...Aha! That would make sense. Carry on.) That sounds good. For some reason, when I thought of the "stereotypical seme", I saw Eiri Yuki in all his angsty bitchiness. XD Your description works, though. Sorry if my last comment came out weird. ^^;

[soc_puppet]

(XD Good to know!) Oh good. Still have to contemplate Icarus' and Daedalus' relationship, and also how Icarus' cousin fits into the whole thing (which, for the record, is where a disturbing number of the bad BL clichés fit in). And no, definitely not Eiri Yuki >_< ...Gravi kinda hits a few of my BL squick buttons, to tell the truth. Also, I don't really find it that interesting, DON'T KILL ME WORLD DDD: And no worries ^_^v

[lyzzle.livejournal.com]

(Obviously, I was not thinking. I was pretty much going, "Jetpack, wtf?" My bad. ^^;) Who's Icarus's cousin? I'm not familiar with him. I used to really like it, but now, I dunno. It's just kinda mediocre. I still bought the boxset off of my friend, though.

[soc_puppet]

(Jetpack = full of fiery goodness? No worries ^^v) I don't remember his name, but I do know he was praised far and wide for his intelligence, and also invented the saw after looking at a discarded fish skeleton. Also, Daedalus was wildly annoyed that this little brat was barging in and taking all the glory from him, since he'd been the smart guy around up until then. I know how you feel :/ It was better when I didn't have so much to compare it to. XD I don't blame you.

[lyzzle.livejournal.com]

(Yes. Yes, indeed. :D) Okay. According to Wikipedia's page for Daedalus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daedalus), his name was Perdix, and Daedalus got pissed at him for being smart and stuff and pushed him off a cliff. So Minerva turned him into a partridge and Daedalus was exiled. Same here. It was my first BL series. $20 for a 4-disc boxset of anime DVDs? Hell yeah! XD

[lyzzle.livejournal.com]

Er. Tower. Not cliff. If that matters. ^^;

[soc_puppet]

That's more or less what I remember, yeah :3 *had just been going to look it up in her Illustrated Mythology book when she got home, but this works too!* And close enough X3 ...Also, I'm pretty sure they're mixing Greek and Roman names there, 'cuz Minerva = Athena IIRC. I still count DNAngel as mine, mostly because that was the first one where I actually fangirled it, regardless of canon. Cheap manga and/or anime = my one true weakness.

[lyzzle.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was about say Athena, but then I was like, "Wait. It says Minerva." But yeah, I think they're the same thing. So. I dunno. It doesn't mention Perdix on Icarus's page, though. DNAngel was the second, for me. XD

....CLICKY!!!

Cliiiickyyyyy @_@

I'd say metaphors and symbolism, but that's me just trying to make things tough. It'd be interesting to see a metaphor-symbolism-like....thingie, though.

[soc_puppet]

I could probably do metaphors and symbolism, but yeah, it would be tough. Allegories 9_9 *lit professor icon keywords*

XD I was just wondering if that was the case! ...I wonder if I should make an "I-Never-Comment-On-Your-Journal-BUT..." day or something.

[dynast-harmonia.livejournal.com]

But it'd be one heck of a story, though. Regardless of the BL involved.

[soc_puppet]

Very true. Hmm, maybe I can do something with glass making or pottery...

X3 I would too, come to think of it. Bah, I guess I'll just make it an extension of Lurker Day or something. "Say 'hi' to people you don't normally comment at! 8D" Or something.
