So, y'all'll never guess what I did the other day. What I actually, physically, with my eyeballs,
accomplished. I READ "Miss Fairest in the Land" by our very own
tiddlywinks. AND NOW I HAVE FEELINGS!!
*pats Dammy on the head*
Okay, so, from the top.
SPOILERS AHEAD: YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Miss Fairest in the Land is a tale of two (well, I guess:
three, depending on how you count
......) demon hunters, hunting a demon at a beauty pageant for witches. It involves a hedgehog dueling with hairpins
...... One of my favorite bits, a house-elf like being performing cannibalistic acts
Frank is glaring at you for the Dobey comparison as he's much dirtier and he's furry and he doesn't consider himself cute, some side-demons, a dodo, and at least one demon KING-(kinda)-guy... what'd I
miss here???
"Hey, baby, what about me being all cool-like?" A certain character just said in my head...Oh YEAH! There's also a hip-hopping rap song by a toad/frog/prince
that...just kinda happened and some sparkly unicorn goats
Blame Paddi! I was looking for the bonus points for sparkly unicorns--it naturally dovetailed with the universal goat prompt. And you know how trolls like goats, and even MOAR rainbow barf
...... than my own story for the Sisyfus contained!?
Like, how?
I tried.
It's a talent you really shouldn't strive for. Honest. I mean, even I was surprised at how many sparklies and strange things I crammed in there this time...methinks Friendly Frog was a bad influence on me last year and it's stuck. (Love you, FF)
Anyway, that's basically the gist of the story without mentioning any of the plot points or giving what I might consider
too much away. Now, my feelz:
......
At first it was kinda like "Huh? Hmmm! oooooooooOOOOoooOOOO! Dat A-Z!!
"
The name is so appropriate but that quickly became a sense of "Heh heh," and then "*Googles archaic items of clothing*"
Bwaahahahaahahah with a spot of "*Googles weird, funny phrases that Americans apparently use???*"
No, no, that would just be Winks who is weird and uses some weird phrases, therefore her characters must also use said weird phrases...not that I go around in real life swearing "slug guts!"...well, erm. Not all the time. (But for real, who says "Fussbudget"??? Like, actually!? I LOVE IT!!!!
Um...er...no one REALLY says that *smiles nervously, pretends she didn't just call someone that under her breath recently*). Soon after the googling-kerfuffle there was some serious reinforcement of gender-stereotypes in my head. I mean, I had no idea people (presumably predominantly women, but not necessarily) anywhere paid so much attention to
clothes!!! :O AND SHOES!!
Right! Yes! All women do this! Yes! This is totally not a Winks thing whatsoever because she TOTALLY didn't recognize the leprechaun in JJ's story last year was wearing Louboutins just because of the red bottoms on the shoes...*cough* Nor does Winks have a habit of referencing shoes everywhere that a certain gin-swilling alien will just shut up about right now before Winks sparkle bombs her visitor board for claiming Winks is lying...yes yes Who actually has the wherewithal to recognise the brand of shoe another person is wearing???
Right! Because that would mean that person clearly has a shoe problem and desperately needs to seek help or stop buying more shoes that won't all fit in her closet. Right! *nods* *kicks closet door closed* Am I just, like, inattentive or something? :S
They sounded like nice shoes, tho, so there's that, I guess....
Now, moving forward, we enter the SQUEEEEEEEEE-Territory of SQUEEEEEing :'D in which, you won't believe this, I SQUEEEEEEEEEEEd.
...yay! I made you squee!!! This entire section of story also included, but was not limited to: "D'aaaaawwwww :'D" as well as "*wolf-whistles*" and "SPARKLES!!!!
"
As if there were ever a doubt! It was, as you might expect, pretty dern great! There were more unicorns that my story featured, as well
Great minds think alike, Dammy, when it comes to unicorns! but never fear past-Dammy, after the oodles of unicorns there was an oodle of HAWTniss... in the form of fire. And magic. And some more fire. Fortunately the magic didn't solve all the problems, and I like to think the spectators were fine after a little bit of counseling.
...more than a little perhaps...
That's about all the beans I am willing to spill over tiddlywinks's "Miss Fairest in the Land". Go read it, IF YOU DARE! *dun dun DUN!*
-----
I can't promise I'll be able to do something like this for each story I read from the Sisyfus, but if I don't do yours (dear Reader), but I actually manage to read it, I will try to provide feedback of some sort. I'm not gonna pretend I can read all teh Sisyphuses this year, though.
