If any of you have even a passing knowledge of Japanese, I would like for my readers to take a stab at guessing how, exactly, this band's name is supposed to be read.
(for people who don't have a passing knowledge of Japanese, my thought process while reading this was roughly "shoujo lol- wait what the fuck is that character- that's the katakana for a phoneme that doesn't even exist in modern Japanese- am i supposed to be reading that as "lolita" or "loliwita"- at least the last part's easy, that's 23-ku")
I would like you to imagine the emotions I experienced when I read that the official furigana reading of this name is somehow "ロリイタニジュウサンク", or "lolita nijusanku", which, for some reason, is rendered in English as "Lolita23q".
It's so chunni, I can't get mad at it.
(also apparently their vocalist is now a pro mahjong player? ex-bandmen have the weirdest career trajectories i stg)
~*~
Scintillating discussions happening in the comments section of a Psycho le Cemu fic that touches on the matter of Daishi's arrest for drug possession. (in the interest of honesty m has a variety of weird and complicated feelings about what Events and Happenings and Traumas and Illnesses That Actually Happened To The Real-Life Guys are acceptable to touch on in RPF fic, which they have decided to vomit out below the cut for some reason)
'Ahhh... Lida and Daishi are so sweet... Kawaiii <333... But wait! He's on meth! No Daishi, no!! '
I have no idea why this made me laugh so hard, but it did.
I think it bothers all of us how little information we've been given. I mean, I understand that Daishi has a right to privacy and all, but this whole "gag order" type deal is very troubling. That is, I guess, what I'm trying to do as a writer: fill in the details, both for myself and for my readers.
And add a little bit of yaoi as I'm at it, of course. ^^;;;
The author explaining herself. An interesting perspective on what role writing about these kinds of events in fic can serve for fans!
Heh...I think [it's depressing] every time I write about a five-person band. Honestly, it's very depressing to realize that someone will be left out unless I do something a bit unorthodox. T_T I hate having to make those sorts of decisions.
Finally, a discussion of the Five Person Band Problem, aka the Odd Man Out Problem! (this is a problem which could of course be solved by poly. or bring in miyavi, that works too.)
~*~
Sadly, while this author's fetish pornography featuring bandmen screwing in various inventive combinations has been comprehensively saved to the Wayback Machine, only a few fragmented chapters of this fic- a wonderful window into how English-speaking fandom perceived and reacted to Daishi's drug scandal- and all the interesting conversations that went on in the comments- survive.
(Not that I'm complaining- it's good fetish porn! Very good fetish porn! The fandom historian part of me is just crying a bit right now. At least I can calm myself with the porn.)
~*~
And, to finish, a funny little bit from the author's notes of one renegadedrow2.
The unfortunate thing is my mom found Obscure [super uncersored] [sic] on my comp and I’m grounded for a while, so now I have to come to library and update! Good thing is I come to the library like every week and since my absence there are like seven parts to this and more on the way!
Link mine for context. Content warnings for sexual content, gore, body horror, vomiting, and flashing lights!
