fessing up

Confession: Loti has a new fandom. It makes her feel dorky and squeeful, sort of the way Ron/Hermione used to make her feel when she was fourteen. She wants long continuation fics (and porn) instead of short little tone-poems (and porn).

And it's her first-ever anime.

Inuyasha has totally taken her over.

Damn it, this is why I avoided anime to begin with! I pick up new fandoms to gosh-darn easily! But the Boy just *had* to have me watch adult swim with him.

It's wierd how differently i'm being fannish about it. I'd sort of settled down into heavy meta, textual deconstruction, and every so often a piece of brief, poetic pron. It's been so long since I wanted simple character analysis or continuation fics. But that's what this is making me want. And I totally love it, because it makes me feel so young and naive and silly and I like those feelings much much more than being jaded.

Bought the first two movies last week. Watched first one with the Boy. It made me cry so. fecking. hard.

But I've also felt really shy about it, irrationally so. At first, I didn't think it fit in with who I thought I was. But now that I look at it, I can see why Takahashi subtitled it "A Feudal Fairytale," and if there's anything that I'm a sucker for it's fairy tales.

That, and Inuyasha is fucking hot. With the ears. Guh.
