319!

That's 11 times 29!


1. What... is this cover page, exactly. Because to me, it looks for all the world like a picture of D. Spade and Chrome as 12-year-olds. XD And okay, yes, Chrome always looks approximately 12 years old, but Spade is supposed to be a fully grown man! Actually, something like 150 years past full grown! So needless to say, this is a bit disconcerting.

That said, he looks hot as all get out and I want to rip that jacket right off of him. To steal it for myself, I should clarify. Not as foreplay or anything. It's just, damn that is one nice coat.

BY THE WAY, ARE BOY BOOTS SUPPOSED TO HAVE HEELS, because it looks to me like... oh, never mind.


2. MEANWHILE BACK ON THE MOTHERFUCKING BOAT, the Ninth is standing around staring intently at a porthole, and unless I miss my mark here, it almost seems like Ganauche is implying that he's been doing this for the past four days. To me this is the most hilarious thing in the world. I am picturing this time-lapse montage of him just standing there while the sun rises and sets and rises and sets in the background, and I'm just cracking up so hard. BUT ANYWAY. Apparently things in Namimori hospital are going well, which, what?? Are the Nonos the ones responsible for siccing the Marshmallow Man on our unsuspecting Rain Guardian?? Or is Ganauche just totally bullshitting and he actually has no idea what the fuck is going on in the hospital and when he finally does send his guys to check things out later today they're going to be like, "ohhhhhhhhh shit we are so fucked"?

And they've also discovered that all seven Simon kids lost their families early on. This is all that they've discovered in the past four days, apparently. I would now like to reiterate just how lame the Ninth Vongola generation is and how deeply, deeply ashamed of themselves they should be, forever.


3. One major bombshell they actually did discover though--it sounds to me like CEDEF actually was responsible for whatever the hell happened to Enma's family. :O :O :O FLOOD OF BLOOD? JUST HOW MUCH PSYCHIATRY IS ENMA GOING TO NEED ONCE THIS IS ALL SAID AND DONE, because I swear to God new and freakier details just keep cropping up every damn week.


4. Back in Chateau de Simon, Enma is having horrifying dreams that hopefully won't result in him flying to Tatooine and killing all the Sand People. I had wondered whether Mami was an older or younger sibling, and it appears now that she was his baby sister, which falls right in line with the pattern of things getting increasingly terrible with every new detail we learn.

With that said, I am immensely grateful to Adelheid for being all hand-holdey and motherly and soothing and basically doing everything I wanted to do but can't because I, unlike Enma, actually exist in the real physical world and am incapable of interacting with a cartoon character! THANK YOU, ADELHEID.

Best of all, once she's done fretting over baby boss's situation and thinking angry thoughts about Nametwin, she decides that now is as good a time as any to remember that oh yeah SHE KIND OF KICKS ASS. AND IT'S ABOUT TIME. That's all I can say about that.


5. Back in the middle of nowhere, things have taken quite an awkward turn for our favoritest Storm Guardian, since Tsuna is now depressed beyond all reason and Reborn is sulking because for once he wasn't able to solve all of his problems with violence. Which leaves Gokudera responsible for keeping Lambo in line, which has never been a task for the faint of heart. On top of that, he's fretting about Tsuna of course, but he does that 24/7 anyway, so.

Thankfully this massively depressing scene is randomly interrupted by A HELICOPTER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WOODS OUT OF NOWHERE. Thank you, helicopter! Of course, you don't seem to have actually affected Tsuna's mood in any way whatsoever, but A for effort! At least you got him talking about his feelings again, which is a step in the right direction, I say.


6. b-bawwww. ;_;

OF COURSE, ALL OF THIS IS STUFF WE ALREADY KNEW AND SAW COMING AND SOME OF US WROTE A LONG ESSAY ABOUT IT JUST LAST WEEK, but even so, man. Even so. ;____________;


7. Wow, Gokudera actually had more faith in Tsuna's dad than Tsuna did. That's pretty sad. But again, not in the least surprising. (Also I think Gokudera is more inclined to think favorably of other people's dads because as long as they're not poisoning their kids or driving their mothers off of cliffs--yeah that turned out to be a misunderstanding but still!--they automatically score higher than his own father.)

Anyway, I digress. So Tsuna knew Enma wasn't lying because he could feel the truth emanating from his fists!! Or something. But Reborn is concerned about something else entirely. He has a strong hunch that there's some dark shadow behind the Simon! Okay, all I can say to the entire Vongola family at this point is: GET. THERE. FASTER. Please. XD


8. Cannot be said enough: Daemon is a fucking creep. To the highest degree possible. I don't think I've ever truly wanted a KHR character to die a horrible fiery death before but this fucking guy cannot get killed off fast enough to satisfy me. Ugh. I'm still undecided if this means Amano is actually doing a good job with him or not.


9. Are they just walking around on the same path in circles?? Anyway, Gokudera feels uneasy about the dark shadow Reborn was talking about earlier, possibly because out of everyone in this group, he's the one who hates Mukuro-types the most. Or maybe it's just because it's a fucking dark shadow and YOU'RE FUCKING SUPPOSED TO FEEL UNEASY ABOUT IT. This is apparently obvious day in Vongolaland.

By the way, this has absolutely nothing to do with anything, but you have no idea how giddy I am about the fact that finally, finally, the Vongola have run out of so many shoulders that Reborn is forced to sit on Gokudera's. XDDD You just know he's going to jump ship the instant anyone else comes along, but for now the little bastard has no choice! No choice! HAHA, WE FINALLY WORE YOU DOWN.

Perhaps to celebrate this event, Adelheid's boobs have arrived to challenge the Vongola to a duel of pride! As Reborn so shrewdly observes, this is bad and there is a distinct possibility that they might just all be screwed. IF ONLY THERE WAS SOME CHARACTER WE HAD LONG AGO FORGOTTEN ABOUT WHO HAD RECENTLY ARRIVED ON THE ISLAND IN A HELICOPTER AND WHO IS UNIQUELY SUITED TO BATTLE THIS PARTICULAR CHARACTER.


10. SAY, NOW! MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS! WHOEVER COULD THAT BE.

Why, it's... Kusakabe! Wearing sunglasses! Our hero has arrived!!!




Oh yeah, and also this guy. I REMEMBER HIM. Hibird, right? How could I have forgotten that adorable little face? Well, Hibird, I wish you the best of luck in your fight against Adelheid, though I feel it's only fair to confess that Enma aside, Adelheid is totally my favorite Simon guardian and I may or may not actually be rooting for her at this point whoops. >_>

Oh, but Hibird, when you get a chance, do please ask that guy who sometimes follows you around JUST WHERE HE WAS AND WHAT THE HELL HE WAS DOING FOR THE PAST HOWEVER-MANY-IT-WAS CHAPTERS, JESUS. "Oh, I thought you meant the other mysterious island in the middle of nowhere governed by a mysterious mafia family with a blood grudge against the Vongola. My bad."

Seriously.


On a separate note, it's still a couple of weeks till New Year's but I've already decided that I'm going to make it one of my resolutions to be more consistent about comment replies. I've gotten so bad in the past few months, it's ridiculous. I just let everything pile up and then I get all discouraged whenever I log in because there's so much to get to and I don't have the energy to do it all but then I feel like an ass for just ignoring people, especially since you guys are all so awesome and leave detailed comments that point out stuff I hadn't noticed and raise really interesting points that I want to discuss. But I just get lazy and intimidated. ;;

So my new goal is to get to at least 3 comments a day, since I figure even someone as lazy as I am can't possible be intimidated by that many! START SMALL AND WORK MY WAY UP. That's the new plan. XDb

I probably wouldn't understand, as just seeing Hibari do this cool stance with Hibird drifting in a corner makes my whole month. But then, I probably won't understand how much love you give to GokuGoku I guess. So no, I won't go all fangirl-assasin on you. Really. I'm too old for that shit

Well, yeah. Think about it: Hibari wouldn't give a shit about them going on a vogage of discovery to find Shimon Land to clear up the misunderstandings and to get back their pride (not to save Chrome, nope, not at all) and it would have took Kusakabe ages to concvince Hibari it would be good for him and stuff. Of course, when you're in a helicoper all becomes much more interesting and amusing, so therefore Hibari's sympathy and humanity would actually uncover, therefore making Kusakabe save all those cats from being thrown in bins, take some holiday snaps, facetime his minions to make sure Namimori is okay and that they're not partying at his disappearance with his I-Phone 4 (it's a miricle that it's still in one peice), and go on a mini vogage of discovery all on their own. It would be good fic, you see.

Lol, it was actually bothering me lmao. I wasn't too interested in Spadey, as I already know he wants to mess things up and screw the random logic of KHR. If he's there, how about the rest of the Primo people? COME ON, I WANT SOME GIOTTO. STOP HIDING

I'm guessing he has several rooms for the amount of advisor's bodies that had objected to his time wasting. I can imagine all these mini stories coming up to, how the Ninth skips important Mafia meetings for his hairdressing appointments XD

Haha, it actually sounds like you feel the same way about Hibari that I do about Gokudera, so yeah. BUT WE CAN STILL BE FANGIRL BROS, even if we're fangirling over different characters! *FISTBUMP*

It would be good fic, you see.

DON'T SAY THAT DON'T STAY THAT oh god now I want to write it! DAMN YOU HIBARI AND KUSAKABE WHY ARE YOU SO LULZY where did they even get the helicopter in the first place, anyway? Did the Nonos give it to them, or does the Discipline Committee just happen to have one lying around for emergencies? EITHER ONE OF THESE SCENARIOS WOULD SURPRISE ME NOT IN THE SLIGHTEST.

Giotto is overdue for an appearance to give his young great-great-great-etc... grandnephew? Grandson? Whatever, I forget how they're actually related... anyway, he's overdue to give him some advice on how to face your beloved rival after there's been a horrible misunderstanding. COME BACK TO US, PRIMO. WE NEED YOUR WISDOM NOW.

I'm guessing he has several rooms for the amount of advisor's bodies that had objected to his time wasting.

Maybe that's why they needed three boats. D:

Lol, Hibari's probably overated to the rest of the gang that actually cares what goes on in every chapter every week, but to me, he's like the cheese to my cheesecake, my banna to my split, my vanilla to my ice-cream. Yeah, pretty much. OF COURSE WE CAN. I WELCOME YOU WITH OPEN ARMS

WRITE IT THEN because no, I did not write that on perpose. *cough* Anyway, I would love you forever if you actually wrote it. I'm not very good with crack lol, so I can't write it D: I WRITE SOME GOKU FOR YOU IF YOU DO? even though i suck at writing him ;w; No, actually I thought Hibari went and hijacked some random place and took one for himself. He probably has an area of the roof marked to store his helicoper. And I bet you, it has on it 'Property of Hibari Kyoya, theives will be bitten to death' written on it somewhere with bold letters. BUT I ACCEPT YOUR SCENARIOS TOO

I dunno, I don't tend to even go there to be honest. I think Cozart should come and clear up this mess. And Giotto should be there to punish his mist guardian. BUT YEAH, GIOTTO SHOULD GO AND BE OOC AND SAY 'DON'T BE SUCH A CHICKEN' AND SLAP TSUNA IN THE FACE OR HE COULD ACTUALLY TRY AND CHEER HIM UP IGNORE THE FIRST BIT AS I THINK I'M HYPER SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT BULLSHIT MAY BE COMING FROM MY MOUTH

Yeah, that, and the Ninth's visitors. I bet he's got like, nine casinos in there with all the rich and famous betting to see who'll win what match while causing more sea pollution. Then infomation about the Shimon would be transmitting via pigeon mail because one of the Vongola decided he was bored. I don't know who though. It's got me stumped. Anyway, THE NINTH IS NOT ALL GOOD AND SANE, NO
