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

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.

(...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. ^^;

(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

(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.

(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.

(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

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

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
