PIMP MY CANON MEME


Squall Leonhart discovers Homestuck.

What?

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!

Want to share the glory of demonic butlers? Do you need to tell people exactly what a Lombax is and how cute their tails are? (Seriously their tails are super adorable) Here is the place to do it!

OR!

Perhaps your character was given the Shoulder Touch of Camraderie™ from Serph and now you can't stop thinking about his butt Digital Devils. Or maybe you want to know what it is about Children's Card Games that makes people's hair go crazy. You can ask about them here!

How do I PIMP MY CANON?

In whatever ways you deem fit. Write summaries, link videos, screenshots, fanart, playthroughs, whatever you want! Add on to your friends' comments with additional stuff of your own!

The only thing I ask is that you not put too many large images in your post (if you have to put in a lot, make some of them links!) 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 up to you.

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. Or you could edit. That works too.

Levi, why didn't you put this up last month?

Because I'm a dummy who forgets things.

Final Fantasy VIII: What is even going on

[rainbowarch]

YOU have just graduated from mercenary school, one of only four students who passed the latest test. Congratulations! You now have job security and a steady paycheck (as long as you remember to slay some monsters, of course!). You're ready for your first job. Maybe you'll be a bodyguard for a government official or you'll be hired to protect a town from dangerous criminals.

...or maybe you'll be contractually bound to a young teenage girl who doesn't really know what she's doing.

Final Fantasy VIII (which celebrated its 13th anniversary for its North American release yesterday!) for the original Playstation is the eighth installment of SquareEnix's widely popular RPG series. While it has plenty of Final Fantasy staples - chocobos, summons, the end of the world looming, it's considered a big departure from the series and most other JRPG style games for its unique Junction mechanic, which will either be the bane of a player's existence, or used to completely cheese the game and make it ridiculously easy.

The game's plot is about an evil sorceress who wants to take over the world! Or something like that. FFVIII is a bit lacking in the "coherent story" department. But that's okay.

What FFVIII is really about is Squall Leonhart, the main character. The game dives a lot into his inner thoughts and how he struggles to interact with others after years of spurning relationships of any kind, deal with rapid changes in his life as more and more responsibility and expectations get piled onto him, and perhaps most importantly, for the first time in his life, truly look at and understand himself. The game is more about the characters and their relationships than the plot, which mostly serves as a means to drive their interactions.

It may be the most divisive game in the Final Fantasy series, but love it or hate it, I think it's worth experiencing. After all, it has dogs that can be used as arm cannons and spunky girls who enjoy trains and blowing things up in pretty explosions.

Also here is an obligatory gif.

He's out being lonely.
A lone wolf.
Being a sniper is such a lonely thing, Selphie. You wouldn't believe how lonely it is.
He needs a lot of warmth from a special someone to keep that loneliness away.

People, this game has this chick in it. Who will happily scratch, punch, or hell, KICK YOU DOWN THE STAIRS if you irritate her enough. As that dude in the hat can tell you all about.

Oh, and it's got what I think is probably one of the most dramatic rescues in the series. So there 8|b
