Random: Meta-Rant

[nebroadwe]

I recently discovered the joys of browsing fanficrants (no, really, before I was insulted by the vole. :-) A good rant is cathartic. So I present to you the perfect -- nay, Platonic form of all rants:
Clever and Mildly Insulting Subject Line
Don't miss the gems in the comments that follow, either (especially what devolves from sevendeadlyfun's "Self-aggrandizing statement of support"). The whole thing will make you weep that there are no further worlds to conquer. Or something like that.

I want to say there's...some sort of all-eyeballs monster from some fandom I was in once, but it must've been a cartoon I watched as a kid or something because I can't remember for the life of me exactly what the monster looked like or where he was from or even what he was called. I want to say 'Gorgon', but that doesn't make any sense at all.

Hmm. The only all-eyeballs figure I can think of is Argus, from Greek mythology (picture here (http://www.theoi.com/Gigante/GiganteArgosPanoptes.html)). Not sure he ever made it into a fandom, though -- Greek mythology is more like a meme cluster. :-)

Well, it wasn't that...I was thinking of, like, a big sphere covered with nothing but eyes. Like an eyeball made of eyeballs or something. ._.;

Hmm. Doesn't ring any bells. If it's an evil eyeball monster, though, no doubt it can be conquered by stabbing it in the vitals with a rolled-up copy of "Anemia's Song" (Shes a lonly girl wanting escape realty what happens when she meets the gang and will she find love? my 1st fic no flames plz!).
