Did I just write a scene where Rygdea expresses his man-pain through talking about brewing beer?
YES THAT HAPPENED
THANK YOU WIKIPEDIA FOR TELLING ME EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BREWING BEER
SERIOUSLY
Did I just stay up till three hoping my friend and beta-er would show up online so we could talk about said scene?
WHY YES YES THAT DID HAPPEN
Did I, while waiting for her to finish being cultured and get back from watching Shakespeare in the park, stumble onto a new addicting tumbr and also a new television obsession?
THOSE THINGS HAPPENED TOO YES
YES THAT HAPPENED

Date: 2011-07-25 07:30 am (UTC)Hey, I hadn't thought of it that way! And once we start on that road, Cloud clearly has manpain, and probably Squall, too. And also Basch. And maybe Ashe?
ffffuuucccckkkk, now it's clear that Final Fantasy is all about the manpain.

Re: Man Pain?
Date: 2011-07-25 08:13 pm (UTC)The upshot of all of these is, my love of Sazh has just increased. True awesomeness is being justified in your manpain and then MANNING IT THE FUCK UP.
Re: Man Pain?
Date: 2011-07-26 01:18 am (UTC)hmm... that is super sexist and I never even realized it...
HAHA! YAY FOR WOMANNING IT UP!
Re: Man Pain?
Date: 2011-07-26 02:27 am (UTC)Oh, yeah -- that's totally sexists. WHOOPS
But we're already applying the gendered concept of manpain to females. BUT THEN AGAIN we're making the masculine normative -- Fang and Lightning behave like men, and that's good -- so, uh...
Re: Man Pain?
Date: 2011-07-26 02:31 am (UTC)So acting like a man is good now. Oh I see how it is.
How is this for manly? (Points at Icon.)
Re: Man Pain?
Date: 2011-07-26 02:34 am (UTC)CASE IN POINT YOUR ICON
Like, I love Snow and all, but seriously, that man gets on my nerves sometimes. I suspect there is a perfect correlation between how I feel about Snow at any given point in the game, and how Lightning feels about him at that same point.
Re: Man Pain?
Date: 2011-07-26 02:40 am (UTC)In my headcannon Snow has a little more justification. See Snow was an orphan in Eden, so he has major abandonment issues. But he was also a soldier for a time (Where do you think he got the skills to lead a militarized group of BAMF misfits?), So he has the "I am gonna save everyone" Syndrome that Lightning suffers from too. Thus losing Serah is a major blow and his hero complex is explained. Oh and his obsession with marrying Serah and having a family.
But you gotta love his voice actor.
Re: Man Pain?
Date: 2011-07-26 02:48 am (UTC)STEELGUARD!
And that's some pretty good headcanon! He's a rather charismatic leader of men, and he totally suffers from "I am gonna save everyone" Syndrome. So, yeah, his character is completely understandable. And I liked when Lightning and Snow made up in the dandelion-field-thing. Especially because it's so clear they're both suffering, it's just that they express that pain in different-but-related ways. And it's also made better/worse when you realize that Snow isn't a dumb brick; he already knows and believes all of Lightning's criticisms of him.
But sometimes his chipper personality gets on my nerves. But then again, at some point every character in XIII got on my nerves.
Re: Man Pain?
Date: 2011-07-26 03:00 am (UTC)Just found that one... It's awesome.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxQJY6pLAoE&NR=1
This one too. Troy is the awesome Snow. It sounds like Snow on drugs.
("You're gonna be my sister... BUT BEFORE YOU DO...! ;D"
"That dress is ...... just awesome! I love it; It's like the tailor just woke up and hada really bad day and goes 'watch this world'..... 'You are now Walking Sex'. " XDD)
But as for my head cannon. Thank you. There wasn't any evidence to disprove it... or explain anything about Snow's behavior, so in the process of finding someway to look at him and not immediately think 'IDIOT!' I stumbled around and found this.
The dandilion feild. I got the intense feeling that the two of them could have made out. And did you know that Lightning cries during that scene. Mako was playing it (I was watching) and suddenly there are tears. We had to look the scene up again on youtube to see it. But yeah. So Lightning cries a little bit, or I was high on life and took her along for the ride.
Either way! I should make a post on how awesome the voice actors for Snow and lightning are.

You know who really doesn't suffer from manpain? ZIDANE
Re: Man Pain?
Date: 2011-07-25 08:18 pm (UTC)Never played IX, so, uh, I'll take your word for it. He definitely seems completely awesome.
