Some days I think I'm FLAT STRAIGHT CRAZY.

Okay. So. unreal_rpg. Y'all know I'm in this madness.

I was in Heroes and Dragons today (local comic store, for those who aren't in my neck of the woods), and I saw a particular comic on the shelves.

Yes, they are making Anita Blake comics, for some unknown reason. (I hesitate to call them graphic novels, as they come in small serial issues and not bound books.)

And guess who's on the cover? Everybody's favorite sociopath, Edward.

And then I flip through it. This is one of the instances in which he kills a vampire with a flamethrower.

And suddenly, my Edward-muse is back. And I want to put him in Unreal. Because he'd have a grand old time killing the freaks.

And beneath the sheer WTFery that is having a muse that actually scares me (why is there a sociopath in my head? Why?) is the thought that he might actually cut Rosette a break. She's normal, after all. To him, that's boring in a hunt.

Yep. Way the hell outta my mind right now.

...brb apping Edward

DOO EEEEEET- Ivan says HECK NO AT ALL which is why you should do it. *huggles the little freak*

..... and lol flamethrower. Don't you have an icon like that?

I think I am. I actually think I am. Sucks that Edward icons DON'T EXIST. ;;;

I DO INDEED! :D

Ah, Edward. A brilliant point of Joy in an otherwise dismal world...
*Has a sadly low opinion of the Anita Blake franchise*

Yes. Edward is one of the few characters I actually still like (after realizing that everybody else is a fanfic stereotype: Seme, Uke, Mary Sue, the list continues ad nauseum).

Yeah, I'm not fond of it too much more either. I figured this out after reading Incubus Dreams, which was 660 pages and only 100 pages of plot. Smuuuuuut Tiiiiiiime *stabs eyes out with rusty spoon*

AW SHIT ANITA BLAKE MAAAN.

I remember those books. I read them in seventh grade. 8D Looking back on them, I... I can't determine why I did, as they weren't particularly good. I hated Anita, Jean Claude tended to piss me off, and Richard was so tragic that it was painful. In fact, the only two characters I ever really liked were Edward and Micah, but upon finding that there was a severe lack of fanfiction for those two, I just gave up on the series as a whole.

I started reading with Laughing Corpse, and I rather enjoyed it - I was in it for the zombie raisings and the violence. She hadn't started writing sex back then.

I stopped reading them after Incubus Dreams, which was 660 pages long. I had to skim 560 of those pages - the only pages I actually read actually had plot on them.

Yeeeeeeeeah. -_-

But Edward was excellent, and her making him a family man only made the character better, IMHO. So I have a sociopath in my head that wants to come out and play. ;;;

Incubus Dreams is the last one I read. Narcissus in Chains was probably my least favorite, though, if only because there wasn't even an inkling of a plot until, what, the last chapter?

Edward's family actually bugged me, but at the same time, I really liked the touch. (Mostly because it meant Anita couldn't get in his pants, too.)
