The original idea was I was supposed to put this up every two months

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.

Ao no Exorcist/Blue Exorcist

[keepsthefire]

A bratty, foul mouthed teenager finds out he's the son of Satan. Bad shit ensues. He's still a brat. Also he has a megane kuudere brother who's also a wicked cool dual wielder but also kind of a jerkass in his own right. There's demons, demon cats, lots of fighting and some really hilarious faces courtesy of Rin "Rubberface" Okumura. Seriously. Look at that face. You know that face makes you want to watch it.



BUT NO SERIOUSLY Ao no Exorcist is pretty awesome. And it's getting a dub release this month so if subs are not your cup of tea you can listen to Bryce Papenbrook and Johnny Yong Bosh voice the most bad ass twin brothers ever.

[double_edged]

It depends on what exactly you'd wanna know. Each game is split up into a completely different story and all.

[topsseifer]

Nice icon there.

[pierrotdemonique]

Not to mention this is the canon where this swag motherfucker comes from.

HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG?

[keepsthefire]

YOU JUST CAN'T, OKAY.

Kuroshitsuji

[diehardreaper]

SO LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE GLORY OF DEMON BUTLERS.

Actually, let me get the right account.

Kingdom Hearts

[topsseifer]

That game where it started out cute








and now no one knows what the fuck is actually happening, man. Seriously. What.

[keepsthefire]

This would probably be the point where you might want to elaborate.

Think like the powerpuff girls and with each episode, a new villain.

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.

[xthecorvus]

There we go. Okay. Where was I?

Right.

Kuroshitsuji... or as it's been called in America, Black Butler is a tale of revenge, of intrigue and of romance... or so the fangirls would like you to believe.

Basically, you take Sherlock Holmes, age him down and give him an Alfred instead of a Watson with him and you pretty much have Kuroshitsuji.

Not to mention it has zombies on the Titanic.

FREAKING.

ZOMBIES.



ON THE FUCKING.

TITANIC.

HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG MAN?

Well, not exactly the Titanic but close enough.

Not to mention we have tea and J Michael Tatum being sexy.

[double_edged]

Alright alright, basically.

It's space cats and robots that fight evil except for the first couple of PS3 games where it's like whoa wait what the fuck is going on there's time gods and some old lombax that dies in the only game he's in.

[diehardreaper]

And this swag motherfucker who only appears in one episode during season 2.

And an arc in the manga.

Re: Final Fantasy VIII: What is even going on

[diehardreaper]

Dammit Irvine stop photobombing.

[keepsthefire]

Okay, you passed.

[keepsthefire]

... I did not know it had J Michael in the dub.

... DAMNIT NO. I WON'T GIVE IN. EVEN FOR HIM.

[diehardreaper]

I GAVE IN AND THEN MY LIFE WAS CHANGED FOREVER.

No, seriously. I heard his dub, questioned my sexuality and then decided to watch the series all over again.

Then I picked up four muses, made a bunch of friends and met my girlfriend.

[sonlight]

It's still pretty cute though.

[keepsthefire]

Hegkg... h-he was Doumeki in the xxxHoLic dub and Wabisuke in Summer Wars and hnnng...

THAT'S JUST NOT FAIR

[topsseifer]

Pretty much some kid has to travel through worlds either opening or closing up their special key hole in order to trump the baddies. The baddies are obsessed with a giant heart in the sky that refuses to return their calls. The baddies come up with a bunch different ways to acquire or create the fake version of said giant heart in order to gain ultimate power of some kind. That power and the true connection of all baddies isn't revealed until you further the story.

The game starts kind of fluffy but will break some hearts. People are sacrificed or imprisoned. And everyone is Sora.

[diehardreaper]

He was also Dororo from Sgt. Keroro. /nod

Homestuck: how do you even explain this

[aim_exorable]

Homestuck has more time shenanigans than Doctor Who, so much dying even the ghosts kick the bucket, breaks the fourth wall multiple times, has intermissions that still confused half the fandom, and if you ever read it, this is generally what will happen:



It's a canon where I can app a guy who has, so far, only appeared in one panel and doesn't even have any speaking lines but we might be meeting his previous reincarnation self (???) at some point who even knows



At least the fandom makes very pretty art and music when it isn't being huge and terrifying?

Wow I cannot sell this at all
