Canon-Sharing Meme

And for the first time in her RPing career, Mei posts a meme with the return of none other than the...

Canon-Sharing Meme


Tired of being the only one who knows how awesome your canon is? Tired of being canon-blind to everyone else's? Well, this is the meme for you.

In the subject line of your comment, list the canon's name, and then in the body, give us some really awesome moments so we can see just what makes your canon tick. If it's a video game, link some playthrough videos. If it's a TV show/movie, maybe there's some episodes/clips available online for free! If it's literature, a comic book, a graphic novel, or manga, you could link to previews, scans, or summaries. Whatever floats your boat, really! Just try to keep things as spoiler free as possible, or provide warnings in the subject line or so forth.

Also, as some of us have slow connection speeds, please link you tube videos rather than embed them.

(Those of us with older dinky computers also appreciate that.)

Check out last year's if you're staring blankly at this post and wondering what's going on!

Now go forth, have fun, and lure people to the Dark Side your canons!

Katekyo Hitman Reborn!

Is a series about talking mafia babies and people running around in their underwear with their heads on fire.

And occasionally drunken hedgehogs exploding into spiked balls of death.

Yeah, this is not the most ridiculous thing that happens in this series by far. It's a finished shonen manga that's 409 chapters in length which features an adorable, derpy loser of a boy who, come to find out within the first few chapters of the manga... is actually the last living heir to the most powerful family of the Mafia. Naturally this leads to his life being filled with far too much crazy and danger for his liking.

The series started out as a crack manga that parodied other shonen mangas, so the characters, especially the ones that get introduced in the beginning are ridiculously quirky and endearing. ... actually almost all the characters in this manga are quirky in some way. If you want a taste, there's: the baseball head that takes naivety to the extreme, a bomber who will chew anyone out but has an unhealthy hero worship of the protagonist, a cow suit-wearing crybaby who can turn himself into older versions of himself with a bazooka, and not to mention the mafia hitman baby who serves as Tsuna's tutor and puts him through absolutely ridiculous and extreme situations in order to prepare him for his role as a Mafia boss. Also, said mafia hitman baby regularly engages in cosplay, and can communicate with bugs. This does not even put a dent in all the weird and quirky characters this manga has.

It's a long read and some of the arcs kind of stretch on (lol future arc) but it's so worth it to meet the characters and watch their development. Not to mention, the people who rp in the fandom are fantastic. It's not overly popular like it used to be so I think the haters have left, for the most part, and now I play with people who are so amazingly creative and wonderful and make you fall even more in love with the characters you already loved and make you fall in love with characters who you never batted an eye at. We're a small group, but they're awesome people, seriously. <3
