Yep, Mark returns in chapter 12. Yay!
Speaking of returning... -Goes back to writing Stage 03-
Btw, considering how long it's taking me to finish Stage 03, I'm actually going to be posting up Stage 04- and maybe Stage 05- with it. Just a treat. XD

I shouldn't be writing this considering that I'm barely caught up with my wordcount and I'm having writer's block on all three stories I could possibly work on, so I should really use this evening to try to get a buffer on my NaNo...but I hate my story and I need distractions and I just got a bunch of new Yugioh reaction images I want to use, and I'm hoping Ariana will do something funny. Let's find out! Note from the future: This snark gets really off-topic at times. Sowwy. ...Okay I'm bored already. Muses, would you like to give me any plotbunnies? No? Ugh, guess I'm stuck with Ariana. I wonder what's going on on tumblr. /Fifteen minutes later ...Right, I was snarking. Uh, carry on. Do I even need to complain anymore about these POV switches? No, you don't.Oh good, you're here Joseph. I'm here too!I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU. YOUR STUPID NONSENSICAL STORY THAT I HAVE NO PLOT FOR IS MELTING MY BRAIN. I WROTE OVER 2000 WORDS OF EXPOSITION TODAY BECAUSE YOU GUYS WON'T DO ANYTHING INTERESTING. HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL? Oh. Okay. I'm gonna go make grilled cheese sandwiches then!Can I help?*grabs Luce* No, stay here. I want Luce!hugs. Ah, I have to admit, Luce!hugs are very effective.Okay, wait, correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't the military academy like...really far away from the hospital? I ask because they had to go a long way to get from the MA to where the accident was, and then it took a long time for the ambulance to arrive. So it should be impossible to run from the hospital to the MA. Especially since she has sixteen broken ribs.Thought I'd forget that one, did you? I never forget.There are so many things wrong with this phrase. ...There are so many things wrong with that phrase, too.Preach it. She has her very own Rome?!Uh.Sure, why not. She's a sue, it wouldn't surprise me. Do you own even a single pair of jeans? No? Good gods, how big is that suitcase that it can fit all of those clothes? I have trouble fitting three outfits into a single suitcase when I'm going to a con! That's because you also have to stuff your Yugioh housecoat, your Yami and Yugi plushies, your cat plushie, and your Yami pillow into the bag. That takes up half the space.Nobody asked you. She's very excited about underpants, isn't she?OH. OH, WAIT, HOLD ON, I HAVE A WHOLE LJ COMMUNITY FULL OF THE PERFECT GIFS FOR THIS. BRB. *waiting**waiting*...Grilled cheese does sound really good right now.Yeah, I agree.OKAY I'M BACK. UNDERPANTS! I love the fact that I live in a world where if I randomly want a bunch of icons of characters stretching panties at 9:00 at night, they're just a click away. Okay wait. She uses life in the plural form, but she wants Damien cut off from her. I'd actually be impressed if she was saying that for the sake of he AND her's happiness, but I doubt that was what she meant. Meh. She's a sue and I hate her. On the other hand I don't think anyone should be treated like shit and agree that if you're in a bad relationship you deserve to get out of it. So. Moral dilemma here. Then again, she did deserve it for all the torment she has put my brain through. And for shooting Yami and possibly Marik. *is still staring at the panty gifs*I think I really do want some grilled cheese. I'll make some for all of us!I can think of more dramatic and impressive ways to say that, but for an Ariana sentence, it's not half bad. Uh, no, I actually did not. Seriously I've already done my bit about Choose Your Own Adventure stories. Let's move on. I'm sorry, this is probably just the anime fangirl in me, but this is actually kind of a cute name. I imagine it being said in a high-pitched voice. Like, Arianuuuu~ ...Sorry. THE POWER OF THE KEYHOLE. ABLE TO TRANSMIT MESSAGES AT THE SPEED OF SOUND. Oh wait. I read this sentence, I feel my brain cells dying, and yet all I can think is that I'm somewhat impressed by her use of transpired. Huh. No Damien! Don't! You were finally out from under her spell. D=This is true always. I mean, the whole "wong" thing kind of ruins the sentiment, but still. Actually he wasn't possessed, it was him finally getting OUT of his possession.And then he's killed. *sobbing* ...Um.Will grilled cheese make it all better?This would seem a little more heartfelt if he'd drop the gratuitous swearing....I'm gonna guess that didn't help?Yeah, that pretty much killed it. I would be really shocked by that too! You're just discriminating against luggage!...Where did you even learn that reference?Uh, your dad's in Rome. I don't think you'll be taking a bus there. But she has her own Rome!*facepalm*I love how SueAuthors always stumble right at the end whenever they're trying to write something serious. Okay I realize I'm not the right person to be dispensing this advice because EMOTIONAL MELTDOWN is pretty much my first reaction all the time, but dude. CHILL OUT. ...Weren't they in the school when all this happened? IS THE SCHOOL INSIDE THE MUSEUM? YOU WERE IN THE MUSEUM FIVE SECONDS AGO. MAKE UP YOUR MIND. Wait. What? Why would everyone be mad at her for leaving? I personally would throw a party. Protip: don't saw people in public. It's very unhygienic. WAIT. WAIT, COULD IT BE? YAYYYYYY! Oh good, I like him. He seems cool.Marrrrk! *pounces*The last time I checked, "fucking" counted as hardcore swearing. I had a teacher in high school who got mad at me for saying "freaking" just because she thought it was too close to the word "fucking." ...ANYWAY WHO CARES BECAUSE MARK IS HERE AND EVERYTHING IS RAINBOW TRENCHCOATS AND NOTHING HURTS. I could totally believe it. Believe it? I'm thrilled by it.Oh my gods, this stupid line took me several previews to cut down so that it wouldn't stretch the page. I can't even. >_< The military academy is sad? We should throw it a party and cheer it up! Our apartment really loved the party I threw for it.Yeah...suspense. Sure. Not really, considering that, without even being spoilered, I can make some broad guesses about what will happen. ...

Nice panties gifs. That's... let's see... Nyamo from Azumanga Daioh, Kululu from Zatch Bell I think, Riza Hawkeye from FMA, I dunno, Yami, Evil Bakura (I think?), Hiei from YYH, Marik, and Rose from FMA, right? And Kaiba, but that one even I recognize.

Hey there, Mark! Yay, chapter twelve. And now the true crazyness begins from here on out. As in, it gets worse. Big time. Don't ask, my sanity is gone and I just finished filling out four to five pages of how many tropes Suepidemic actually has/will have in my word processor... >>;

The other two are an Earthbending guy whose name I don't remember, and Vash. @ Alastor: Oh no, go right ahead. x3 I think reaction images should always be shared.

And yes, welcome to the FMA club. You watching the first anime, or Brotherhood?

Post by Anya the Purple on Nov 12, 2011 14:05:28 GMT -8
^The first one, but the English dub. I think I'll watch Brotherhood afterwards. Also, is it in any way related to "fullmetal panic?" because that came up too.

^ I don't think it's related to fullmetal panic at all. xD FMA is very addictive, isn't it? I think I watched the whole first series over a single week. I never did finish Brotherhood, but I've read the whole manga. Oh gods, my creys at the end. D'= Also, an open invite to anyone interested in or who is a fan of FMA: I co-mod an FMA-based forum (I say BASED because we talk about all sorts of other fandoms and things too. xD) here: www.fmaclubhouse.proboards.com/ Anyone is welcome to join! The main rule is no fanwars. We are a neutral club and it's a place for fans of either series, any ship and any character to hang out. (We do have spoilers everywhere though, so tread cautiously.)

^ IT'S NOT AS CRY-Y AS NO. 6. Well. Maybe. Depends. Brotherhood has a considerably happier ending than the first series. ^^; And yet I cried at the manga/Brohood. I actually didn't cry at the first series ending, even though it's definitely darker. Hmn...

I've read about... I wanna say a quarter of the manga, and I know how both series end. Basically, the first anime diverged a lot from the manga to avoid spoilers because the latter wasn't finished yet, and Brotherhood is a lot more faithful, but the original creator had a part in both, and the ending's kind of... there are moments. Happyish ending, but they don't skimp on the nightmare fuel.

XD I don't wanna spoil it for you! xD Plus everyone is different...I didn't cry at all over the first series ending but I know someone who cried at it as much as she cried at No. 6. My first series OTP AND my manga/Brohood OTP both get broken, so I had something to get wibbly about for both. OTL

Ahh, I see. You know, I was pleasently surprised by my ability to not ship Edward/Al. I mean, I don't like shipping incest pairings, so I'm glad I don't ship them, but gaah that theme song.

My snark thread was on the second page. =| THIS CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO STAND. So here's chapter thirteen. Do I ever! Mark was in it! It was awesome! ...Actually no, it wasn't. You fail at suspense. Oh, he is? Well, my reproductive bits are honored to be compared to Mark. u_u (YEAH, I WENT THERE. IT'S THE WEEKEND. ALL BETS ARE OFF. WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT, ARIANA?) ...Yeah, so anyway. xD Let's get this snark going. I cannot for the life of me figure out where "nunnery" came from in this sentence. Unless she was going for "locked," used thesaurus rape to come up with "cloistered," and the sample sentence perhaps involved a cloister of nuns, and she decided that "nunnery" is clearly an acceptable synonym. Mark. Mark, buddy. Listen. Your rainbow trenchcoat is totally bitchin', but a red car with blue polka dots is never a good life choice. I want to make a comment here. I can feel a comment inside me wanting to be made. The problem is that I can't decide if I should launch into a ramble about social conditioning causing her to assume rape is the intent and the positive and negatives of that, or if I should tell Ariana to stop being overly dramatic. Um...maybe this is just me, but when did Ariana ever assume that Mark loved her? She's been nothing but a dick to him, why would he love her? Why is Mark screaming at himself? Unless he's got a split personality and one half of him doesn't want to kidnap her? Holy shit, things are about to get aldkfjalkdj'. ...DID SHE SERIOUSLY JUST PROVE US ALL CORRECT? NO. SERIOUSLY. I MEAN...THAT'S PRETTY MUCH MY MARK HEADCANON. AND THE SUEAUTHOR JUST MADE IT CANON. WHAT. Guys, hand on my Yugioh manga, I did not see this coming. I'm sure she'll ruin it somehow, but still. This is all sorts of epic. I can't wait to see how it's handled in Suepidemic. xD If I treated someone the way Ariana treated Mark, I would not assume that I was friends with them. ...Does not compute. DOES NOT COMPUTE. PUZZLE RAGE IMMINENT. Okay this is just disgusting. Five seconds ago she was concerned about being raped. Now she's trying to offer sex in exchange for freedom. There are a lot of things I could say here, and all of them are far too serious of topics for dealing with at 9:00 at night. Please stop. Please.1. You shouldn't be able to see out of the trunk, while inside a body bag, while blindfolded. 2. Where did you find a castle in the middle of the US? 3. ...DID YOU ACTUALLY JUST DRIVE TO ROME? WHAT THE FUCK. She says from the inside of the trunk of a car. I'm sure he can hear her. Hmn...if I had to choose between a belittling stalker vampire or an emotionally unstable anti-Christ...actually, I think I'll go with Damien. He seems okay when Ariana isn't around. Isn't she technically too young to be legally married anyway? Y'know, as much as I can understand not wanting to be forced into an arranged marriage, I'm kind of glad that SOMEONE is applying some discipline to Ariana. It's about time she came up against something she can't use her will to alter. Poor Sergeant Neff. He started out so decent. Now he's been turned into a baby. I could have assumed that second sentence, but thanks for telling us anyway. ...Animouse? Either this is Nezumi or Santa Mouse speaking, and neither of them deserve to be in this terrible fic! ...Okay, I don't know any more clever responses to Huge Nos. How about I tell you a story from my childhood instead? So, on my 5th birthday, my parents had planned an outdoor birthday party because our house is quite small, but we have a big backyard. And they invited the whole preschool even though maybe only three of the kids were actually friends of mine. Inviting the whole class is kind of what you do to prevent future blood feuds. But just when the party was about to start, this massive storm came through. Tornadoes and everything. (And I'm terrified of tornadoes due to Hurricane Andrew, but that's a story for another day.) Because of the storm, all of the kids ended up inside, as well as their families who had all been at the Ren Faire taking place down the street. So we had a ton of people in our little house, and all the kids were corralled into my room, where they proceeded to completely trash it. Every last thing I owned was tossed around and ended up on the floor. I was just sitting there watching it happen and trying to save my toy cars from being stepped on. To this day I hate people touching or moving my stuff around without permission. It makes me physically nervous. I blame that birthday party. All of my birthday parties after that took place at locations outside our house. There's a moral or something in there. Didn't we already have this angstfest? Let's move on now, Damien. I have a better idea! Why don't Damien and Sergeant Neff just run away together? I'd totally ship that. THEY HAVE A THORNMOBILE? Okay actually that sounds pretty cool. I have a Puzzlemobile and am quite fond of her, but I imagine that the Thornmobile has dual-dual exhaust and a flame job, or maybe a Black Rose Dragon on the hood with thorn tendrils down the side... Huh? You mean Sergeant Neff is going with him? WAIT ARE THEY ACTUALLY GOING TO RUN AWAY TOGETHER? IS THIS MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT FROM YOU, ARIANA? Meh, I guess not. I'm sure it will be a really cliche, really lame rescue. Or maybe it will be full of crack. I'm hoping for the latter!

Oh there will definitely be more crack to come.
As for Suepidemic, uh... I don't think I'll be doing that scene. Mark freaking out on her, maybe, but no kidnapping scene. No. I can't do that to him. I just... I just can't.

^ Oh, I knew you wouldn't follow the plot to this point (I remember you saying you would diverge from the plot around chapter 9 or so?), but there's got to be at least one scene where Mark shouts at her...
I'm not worried. I like ridiculous crack. As long as she doesn't shoot any more Yugioh characters.

I'm not worried. I like ridiculous crack. As long as she doesn't shoot any more Yugioh characters. Yeah, I did. I think around the time Damien finally snaps is probably that part, I'm not 100% sure yet. But oh yes, there will be a LOT of yelling at Ariana- by both Mark and Damien- in Suepidemic. XD I don't recall the shooting of Yugioh characters from my own snark, but I do believe Yami shows up one more time. I don't really remember what happens to him, though. Good luck, Puzzle. The crack gets deeper from here. Also. Congrats, I heard you did well in NaNo =D Here, there are cookies, cake, and a rainbow trenchcoat! -Gives- Will you stop going through my closet?!<_< What? You have TONS of these trenchcoats! Share the love, Mark! Share the rainbow! I can do that, but you need to stop stealing from my closet.
