(no subject)

Eh, I think for me, Furuba has become one of those series that needs to be wound down... right about now. Which is good, because the next chapter on the twentieth of November (THIS IS A HISTORIC DATE) will be the very last chapter, barring any surprise volumes from Takaya-sensei. Which wouldn't be unheard of; several series have had a volume of extras tacked on as ostensibly a standalone, but that which everyone knows is a way for the author to add more in without having to put into the series itself, and thus, into serialization. The ones that come up in my mind is the Koori series and the Kocha Oujisama series. I don't know whether I'd want one or not, since the standalones have a tendency of being really annoying cockteases.

Not all the loose ends will be tied up and not all of them can be; she has one lonely little chapter left and unless rocks fall and everyone dies, it'll be one of those chapters that will leave us happy and maybe vaguely curious... but probably just happy.

Bullying

I'd like to preface this with the fact that I absolutely hate bullies, bullying, or anything of the sort. If there's anything that will grant my rage, it's me seeing someone bullying someone else. Normally, I'm pretty laidback. I rarely get angry and even when I do, I usually forget about it after a few hours, sometimes a few minutes (happened once!). But bullying? Oh, I'll remember your face for the rest of my blissfully long life. I'll remember your face and I'll gleefully do everything I can to screw you over. Let me see you picking on that kid who looks at the table all the time? Don't blame me if my finger reaches for your ear. Don't blame me if you're completely humiliated among all your macho friends. And certainly don't blame me when I make a ruckus to the other teachers and they're forced to have a nice, long talk with the parental units.

Really. Blame yourself.

What brought this on?
