grassangelThe big notice
Next week, from Tuesday to mid-Friday, I'll be on camp. Which means no connection to the outside world.
I'll get some art done though. Although... not fanart. (It's an art workshop thing...)
Okay,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dawnduskdancer and anyone else who is interested, here's the link for the TV article on Otakon that was screened on Al Jazeera English.
Yes, Al Jazeera screened something about otaku, anime, cosplay and cons. Actually, it's quite good, although I now doubt whether I want to experience the lunacy of a really big one. (That and I hate the commercialism of some of them. Especially the fanartists who assume they're going to make money. You do it for the love of the fandom people, not for the money) However... as good as the TV article is, it's a bit too soon after finishing an article about fandom and its early stages.
Which kind of brings me to the drabble as I was hyped up on fandom terms and crackus infectus (you know, the kind you get when you're hanging around with about five other fans and you're discussing everything and anything)
So I present ye with drabble:
Title: Gezuntheit
Series: Bleach
Characters: Ichigo, Rukia
Genre: Humour
Rating: G
Word count: 100
"Here." Rukia thrust some ground pepper under Ichigo's nose, causing him to sneeze and catapult his spirit form out of his body.
"Eh? How does that work?" he stared down at wonder at his body lying on the floor behind him before patting down his spirit form.
Rukia, instead of answering, grabbed his hand and hauled him along, checking her soul pager as she ran. It was only when she was being carried piggyback after the hollow purification did she bother answering.
"Idiot, where you you think those myths about sneezes catapulting the soul out of the body came from?"
I know that usually (or at least in the Shinigami Cups) sneezing in Bleach is used as a "hey, someone is talking about you", kind of like how your ears are supposed to burn.
However, there is another superstition dating from the Plague that if you sneezed particularly strongly that your soul would be expelled from your body. (Previous to that, it was actually good luck to sneeze, as it was believed to dispel evil spirits from your body.)
A superstitions website
Kind of obvious, but I wrote this soon after sneezing partiularly violently.
