I get it! Iris is asking for tattoos for the different things he is, huh? Bat for vampire, wolf for were. Then, will a snake for lamia be coming up in the future? Angel wings and demon wings? Or something more subtle, like a butterfly and a moth? Or maybe even a butterfly and a spider?And Irisâ reason: âIt helps.â What horrible things has Iris done that he needs the same kind of help Valkyre did? Does?
Guess I should just keep reading, huh? ~.^
Astri on August 5, 2006, 7:26:36 PM
O.O Oh, yes, that was a good one. YES, VERY GOOD ONE. WE HIGHLY APPROVE.You deserve another one for this, so here you go:
SHOWER OF LOVE AND ADORATION!!!!!!! ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ :luvluvluv:
I could go off about the beautiful imagery, the subtle and not-so-subtle seductiveness, the way every word of this chapter calls the precise picture it describes to mind; but I think it goes without saying. Besides, I have no time. I have to read the next one⦠^.^
Astri on August 5, 2006, 7:26:07 PM
Am I continuous now? ^.^Goddess, I donât believe it. That bat is still making me laugh. I chalk it up to it being 12:12 at night. Yep, thatâs gotta be it. Nocturnal animals are humorous at night. Right? Itâs either that or Iâm going insane.
Well, as long as I finish the story first so my curiosity neednât fetch a blowtorchâ¦
Astri on August 5, 2006, 7:25:42 PM
I like Maeve. I really like Maeve ^.^ Thatâs all I can really say right now ^.^; God, my comment makes this chapter look like the flippinâ Bible⦠--.--Astri on August 5, 2006, 7:25:15 PM
I like this chapter a lotâwell, âlikeâ is the wrong word. I mean, I do like it, but there is something from this chapter that is going to stick with me for a long time, and that thing is the charm seal. Thatâ¦is something right out of a nightmare. And then, the scene once itâs gone and Iris starts to come back to himself is as sweet as the touch of his fingers on Valkyreâs lips.So, I like this scene, and I dislike it (charm seal --.--) But I like it much more than I dislike it, and as previously stated: this is gonna stick with me for a LONG time.
Astri on August 5, 2006, 7:24:51 PM
Hey, I like shonen-ai. My favorites are always the shonen-ai, not the yaoi. Yaoi is great and all, but nothing tops a shonen-ai with a wonderful story. Like this one, for example. Involving story, fantastic characters, and suggestive sensuality that just kind of brushes the edges of your imagination like simbala music. The perfect read ~.^Astri on August 5, 2006, 7:24:25 PM
Uncomfortable? Maybe not uncomfortableâ¦:sound of about twenty different people smacking me:
Uh, oh, yesâ¦uncomfortable. Mm-hmm.
I should add, two-colored eyes? Good thing. Very good thing. I like two-colored eyes. And besides, there arenât that many. The weird thing had them, and now Raguel has them. Thatâs all. (Iris doesnât count, because his eyes Iâm sure change more than one color.) So cutting back on the two-colored eyes is not necessary. Really⦠^.^;
Astri on August 5, 2006, 7:23:58 PM
And I thought the vampire was a one-shot deal ~.^Might as well remark now, I really like the names you pick. Valkyre, Maeveâ¦but the best one is Iris. Naming him Iris was seriously inspired. It keeps life in his character even when he seems his most dead.
I have this unhealthy adoration for the name Irisâ¦
Astri on August 5, 2006, 7:23:26 PM
Wellâ¦umâ¦belated good luck on your midterms, then. Or good luck on your future midterms, whichever you prefer ~.^Interesting idea, the whole blood-for-money thing. When he first said, âThree bottles,â I was going â???â But then I understood what was going on, and was more like, âOh! Thatâs cool!â
And then Iris disappeared. Well, even the best of âem get kidnapped once or twiceâ¦or thrice, in Coletteâs caseâ¦
All I can say about this chapter isâ¦it is very creepy. Not just creepy in what happens, but in what is described before anything happens. If this is foreshadowing, itâs foreshadowing some pretty horrific events. (Goddess, take an Advanced Composition class and you analyze everything.) The first half of this chapter, I think, is scarier than the second. No mean feat, considering the first half is mostly jumbled chaos.
But I think that is why it is scarier than the second half. The second half I can understand. The firstâ¦is outside my comprehension.
Creepy.
