welcome to the master plan

I'm almost embarrassed to be making this list, but I'm going to do it anyway.

Sometimes, when I've had a bad day, I like to go on YouTube and listen to the craziest music I can find. It's usually accompanying anime fanvids, which really only makes it better. There no pick-me-up better than some good crack!

And thus, for future reference, my list of crazy, cracked-out, feel-good music - now with links!

I'm even weirder than you thought, right? Yeah. I know.

So Kyou Kara Maoh (or Kyo Kara Maou, or any one of half a dozen other spellings) is officially the SLASHIEST THING EVER. It's the only thing I've ever seen where the ho!yay is actually intentional rather than incidental. It's like the writers sat down and said, ok, you want gay subtext? We'll GIVE you gay subtext!

A good example is the scene I just watched. Two male main characters are sitting in the desert at night, talking. One of them shivers and complains about the cold. My inner fangirl screams this at them: OMG CUDDLE! And, unlike pretty much all my other fandoms, they proceed to do so. And then one falls asleep in the other's arms. And THEN they get handcuffed together, a plot device that I will NEVER GET TIRED OF, no matter how many times I see it!

I know some people have a problem with such blatant fanservice, but I say that if it brings the boylove, then bring it on!

So...I'm beginning to revise my opinions on anime and manga. There is a wealth of rather explicit yaoi out there, and it's really quite refreshing to actually see it happen instead of having to rely on subtext. Not that subtext isn't fun, of course, but...sometimes, you just want them to get it on. Therefore...yay for Japanese pop culture and its relative lack of homophobia!
