First signs of madness...

It's not often my own typos make me burst out laughing.

"Her small hands were in fists. She laid one of these over the ugly notch in the flawed sword, and the other fish she held tight against her chest, covering her heart"

FISH.

I just went all through my icons looking, but this is the closest to a fish icon that I have.

What? Doesn't everyone hold a fish tight to the chest on St. Valentine's Day?

[ewein2412]

you get double brownie points if you can think of a character who DOES clutch a fish tight to his chest...

[dremiel.livejournal.com]

Gollum?

[ewein2412]

hmmm, probably! I was thinking of Tony Markarios in The Golden Compass. A plot fish rather than a prop.

Plot fish :: plot bunny as Sir Lancelot :: __________. Discuss.

blar. somebody kick me.

[ewein2412]

ok, so, Hercules is like the ONLY Disney I haven't seen, or I would have thought of that too.

must complete my repertoire.

[tiboribi.livejournal.com]

I avoided Hercules like the plague. I got far to upset about Hercules running around all happy trying to be a hero.

You even watched The Black Cauldron?

[ewein2412]

BLEAH! BLEAH!

but I have an embarrassing soft spot for both Pocahontas and Simba's Pride (ie, the sequel to The Lion King)

Kovu is Priamos.

I liked Simba's Pride, too. I saw it in Turkey with the Turkish children, who refused to speak English to me, but had no problems with cartoons.

Oh, that made me laugh. And I even have a sort-of-appropriate icon!

[ewein2412]

hee, your icon made me laugh too!

Ok, so the typo is that she should have put the fish covering the sword, right? :)

*dies*

OMG I shouldn't have posted this, the comments are KILLING me.

[tigertrapped.livejournal.com]

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing.

[deliasherman.livejournal.com]

My typos tend more towards "the ground around her is covered with blook" sort. Also tje pmes wjere ,u fomgers are pff pme. This one was GOOD.

[ewein2412]

fomgers are pff pme

well, exactly!

I see the germs of a short story there..."The Fish and the Sword"...perhpas one with deep religious underpinnings.

[ewein2412]

ohhh gawwwwd. unfortunately I am already headed well in that direction. (which I think is partly why this was so cathartic.

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

;o)

[ajl-r.livejournal.com]

So, she has her heart locked up in a small wooden chest and she was holding the fish on top of it...sounds like she's a sister to Davy Jones (Pirates...) to me! :)

[ewein2412]

maybe the fish is to deter people from trying to open the chest.

[ajl-r.livejournal.com]

Yes! In which case, 'it was all she cod do to stop them'... :)

[ewein2412]

...and then they carp at her.

[ajl-r.livejournal.com]

(quiet rofl)

They should know their plaice!

[ewein2412]

I'm floundering for an appropriate response.

[ajl-r.livejournal.com]

Me too! I know that (speaks with a lisp) whiting is not easy in these situations.

(stiffled giggling)

Perhaps she was about to cut down the mightiest tree in the forest!
