The Smallest Things Make One Happy

crossover_chickOne video on YouTube, and I'm all smiles. Granted, if Tie-Twister Victor (or hell, even DGVictor) ever sees it, I'm probably dead. . . .
-M: What are -- *suddenly thinking he understands* Oh, Jesus, did someone actually do a CB vid to that "Zombie Prostitute" song?-
Yup!
-VD2: Great Scott, Victoria, it's Emily's birthday!-
I didn't know that would come up when I searched "Corpse Bride!" And it's all in good fun, I promise.
-Muses: *roll eyes*-
Anyway, better day today, even if it was even hotter. I caught up on my tags, wrote a little on a new story (yes, I started the wedding night fic. The first part's tame enough, so I'm safe for now), and at least one of my woes may be coming to a close. The reason I was so upset yesterday had to do with my having to go to the doctor's and get a shot for college. I need my immunization records, and they've been a BITCH to try and retrieve. But I think we're good there now, so. . .
-VD: Oh, we'd better be. We're sick of this moody you.-
To be fair, I wouldn't be surprised if a small part of that was PMS. It is coming up on that time again.
In less serious but still ranty news, I'm seriously thinking of dropping "Kevin and Kell" from my line-up of webcomics. I've been only sort-of enjoying the comic for a while now -- the storylines are starting to wear a little thin, and some of the characters get on my nerves. But this latest development is making me want to punch something. You see, Lindesfarne, the adopted hedgehog daughter of the titular rabbit/wolf couple, is marrying her long-time boyfriend Fenton, a insect-eating bat. At her hen party, her mother and grandmother encouraged her to do a DNA profile on Fenton. Let's ignore the fact no one asked Fenton's opinion on this. Anyway, Lindesfarne found out something weird, and said she had to go meet Fenton's family immediately. They get there, and we have the great reveal of:
Fenton's mother is a vampire bat. And she wanted Lindesfarne to marry Fenton before she figured that out because vampire bats are universally disliked. Even her own children didn't know she was a vampire bat.
Okay, first off, HER KIDS WOULD KNOW. I don't buy this bullshit of them never noticing what their mother drank at meals. Secondly, I don't see how the hell vampire bats can have a bad rap in a world where THE INHABITANTS REGULARLY DEVOUR EACH OTHER. Kell works for a company that specializes in it, in fact! They provide meat to grocery stores! If anything, vampire bats should be seen as not particularly dangerous. Most vampire bats don't drink a lot -- it takes swarms to kill anything! Okay, yes, they spread disease, but that's true of a lot of the sentient animals in this comic! What the hell is the deal? And thirdly, Fenton's mother HAD NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. Lindesfarne's family includes a rabbit married to a wolf, the adopted hedgehog daughter, the half wolf/half fox son, and a rabbit/wolf hybrid that regularly devours antagonists. And it has been shown that these people are the poster children for tolerance and begetting tolerance. One early storyline was even all about getting Kevin and Kell to fix the Y2K bug so that they'd leave their mark on society and make it better. Kevin and Kell are known for overcoming prejudices -- why the hell was Fenton's mother that worried?!
Yes, I know, it's just a comic strip about funny animals. IT STILL PISSES ME OFF.
So, yeah. I'm thinking I'll see what idiocy wraps up this latest arc, then I'll bookmark the comic I really like that links off of it -- "Freefall" -- and leave "Kevin and Kell" to its corner of the web. As it is, right now I need to get out some writing.
