So, that sure happened.

Gotta say, I'm glad to be back to normal. Kinda wish I coulda kept that younger body I was in, though - easiest forty pounds I've ever lost, haha! Anyway, though, I got some things to say.

First off, Izuku - I owe ya, man. I almost made the biggest mistake of my life yesterday, but I remembered what ya told me and I came back from the point of no return. If there's ever anything you need - and I mean anything - you just call on your pal Barry, okay? You literally saved my soul back there. No joke.

And second - you guys gotta see what I found at the zoo. Check this out:




Lookit that little guy! He totally knows what's up! 2D > 3D! I can't believe I almost forgot that! I'm sorry, Blueprint-chan! I'll never betray you like that again! I'm gonna buy all your figures and plushies and drama CDs, I promise!

Well, uh, I kinda got off-topic there a little bit. But I'm doin' good, ain't nobody gotta worry about that. Barry Goodman, signing off!

What's with the picture the penguin's looking at? And what is "Blueprint-chan"? Or who? Is it a person? It sounds like a peculiar name even by wild west standards.

[very_goodman]

I dunno. I've sure never seen it before. I'm just worried about what's gonna happen when they take Hululu away from him.

[very_goodman]

Yeah, it was definitely pretty close!

[very_goodman]

That's Hululu. Pretty sure Grape-kun's in love with her.

Blueprint-chan is a character from Magic Girl Development Project, a new anime that's airin' this season. That's her magical girl name.

[latentforlife]

A guy like you should be saying things like "Of course I'm okay! Who do you think I am?"

[very_goodman]

Haha, I'll remember that for next time.

[nailed_navigation]

I don't think that they would do such a thing unless he starts to show unhealthy habits. If this is just a way for him to get over a bad situation then there's a chance that he would get over it on his own- or Hululu could become a goddess of her own right. At least for older gods they were born from human wishes, so perhaps if there are enough humans that have the same hope for him- Hululu could become his personal goddess.

[latentforlife]

Good. So, even more important, is your show for Obon still on track?

[lovemguns]

Hululu? Grape-kun? Is Grape an alias?

What is a magical girl and anime?

[ Magical girl is a girl that can use magic? That's what it sounds like. Doesn't that mean Olmine is one? ]

[very_goodman]

The cutout's not a permanent installation, though. It's only there as a promotion. The poor little guy's gonna be so sad when it's over.

But becomin' a goddess... is that really possible? If enough people love an anime character, could they really become real?

[very_goodman]

You know it! We're practicin' hard every day.

[very_goodman]

No, Grape-kun is the penguin's name. The real one. Hululu's the cardboard cutout.

As for anime... it's prolly easier if I just show ya. It's pretty great, though!

[nailed_navigation]

Gods are born from people's wishes, so logically speaking if enough people believe in a certain anime character then there's a chance that they could become a god. They would not be like the current gods being reborn, they probably will not be recognized as offical gods.

[nohorn]

Waifu.

I take it back, I feel a lot disgusted.

[very_goodman]

Who cares? That's still amazing all on its own! Maybe if I get Blueprint-chan a big enough fan club, she'll become real!

[Kazuma what have you done.]

[very_goodman]

What's wrong with that? Grape-kun is experiencing the purest love there is!

[nailed_navigation]

.... Is Blueprint one of your waifus?

[lovemguns]

Right.

Is that so? Is it so complicated it’s impossible to explain?

[very_goodman]

Yeah, she's at the top of the list right now.

[very_goodman]

Not complicated, really. It's just the kind of thing that you can really only appreciate if you see it yourself.

[pure_radiantics]

That ought to cheer you up too, by the sounds of it. Have fun!

[nohorn]

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

[lovemguns]

Is that right?

[very_goodman]

Which one? Purest? Or love?

[very_goodman]

Yup. It's like seein' a beautiful sunset in person or havin' someone just tell ya about it. Which one would you prefer?
