It's been a couple months...

so it's time for a new

PIMP MY CANON MEME


Levi, explain.

This is the PIMP MY CANON meme, where you have the opportunity to show off your canon and perhaps even find a new one to get into!

On the flip side, ask about something that interests you! Want to know where you even begin with Homestuck or why it's called a Keyblade when it is very clearly a blunt object? Here is the place to ask!

How do I pimp my canon?

First of all, it's PIMP MY CANON (caps, color, and bolding not optional), and second, do so in whatever ways you deem fit. Write summaries, link videos, screenshots, fanart, playthroughs, whatever you want! Add on to your friend's comments with additional stuff of your own!

The only thing I ask is that you not put too many large images in your post and link to videos rather than embed them. This is so the page doesn't take for-freaking-ever to load and doesn't become inaccessible due to oversaturation of gifs and stuff.

You may also want to keep spoilers to a minimum, but that's your call.

Also make sure your coding works, because nothing sucks more than making a totally awesome ad for your canon only to have a missing bold tag mess it all up. But then again, we all have comment editing now, don't we?

Final Fantasy VIII: Gunblades Don't Actually Shoot In This Game

Located just a short distance from the coastal town of Balamb is Balamb Garden, an elite military institution that will help you become a top tier mercenary!

Accepting students as young as the age of six!

Final Fantasy VIII, the eighth game in the Final Fantasy series, is for the original Playstation. It is the story of Squall Leonhart, one of these elite mercenaries who through a series of events, gets caught up in some kind of time and memory shenanigans and okay the plot of this game is silly.

But that's okay because the plot really isn't what this game is about.

It's about Squall, grouchy teenager extraordinaire, who learns to work through his emotional baggage and become a functional human being. The game gives in depth looks into Squall's inner thoughts, the ones that he will refuse to voice, and much of the focus is how he interacts with his allies and enemies. For someone who dislikes socializing and whose job involves killing for money, Squall is surprisingly perceptive on the subject of human nature.


He understands what's important in life.


FFVIII has a unique gameplay system that is completely different from the standard JRPG. Levels exist, but are for the most part, meaningless because enemies also level up with you. The focus is on increasing your stats by using magic to augment them. This mechanic, called the Junction System, seems complex at first, but a little bit of experimenting and you'll be coming up with all kinds of ways to absolutely break this game. In effect, it's actually a pretty easy game to get through because just a little bit of focused junctioning means that nothing will stand in your way.

Also, card games.

Squall likes card games.

It's canon.

Previous one I wrote is probably better
