Let's talk about the darned fourth wall shall we? But because I'm lazy, let me just c&p what I posted on poly_tldr

"What I'm really here to do is raise that ever so tricky issue of the fourth wall and may he break it? For those unfamiliar with Sket Dance, it's a comedy school life-based manga that takes full advantage of the fact that it runs in Weekly Shonen Jump and makes references and namedrops possibly every. single. series in Shonen Jump ever full on without having to refer to them as Scram Dunk or Breach in a way that I can only describe as shameless magazine promotion or the most in your face "Eat this, Genshiken!" ever. And so now we come to the point. This is definitely applicable to canons that run in Shonen Jump and other anime/manga canons. What is your stand on fourth wall breakage? Bossun will likely never come up to your character and go "LOL ur not a real live boy/girl/trap!" He's not that suicidal (unless you fully encourage me to let him run his mouth off). Let's discuss!"

Please also check out SWITCH'S PERMISSIONS POST for further fourth-wall breaking action!

NOW I KNOW HOW THAT STUPID PINEAPPLE IDIOT MUST HAVE FELT...

OKAY. Right. We are gathered here today so I can clear my name about what happened here. IT WASN'T ME. IT REALLY WASN'T. I don't want to sell anyone anything, you don't need to give me your credit information, I have no ties to any refugee politicians from Africa! PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION reveals that MAYBE someone hacked me and by preliminary investigation I mean the first explanation I latched onto that doesn't involve me and multiple personalities. I'M SO SORRY IT HAPPENED ON MY NETWORK JOURNAL AHA DON'T KILL ME. I'M NOT SORRY THOUGH TO THAT ONE GUY THAT CALLED ME A NAKED MONKEY. YOU'RE SERIOUSLY DISTURBED, MAN.

BUT I'm not a complete idiot and I know that you may have no reason at all to believe me SO! I have instead gathered testimonials to my good moral character from various trustworthy individuals whose faces you know and whose names alone evoke good and happy feelings!

[ ooc: with apologies to the real Shinohara Kenta who I'm sure would be more supportive of his main character's good name! Also to Yoko Kamio for dragging Tsukushi into this mess and lastly to whoever holds the er patent or intellectual rights or whatever is applicable to the Paddington Bear. Also to your childhood. was stranded with the other icebergtards earlier but now that he's back HE NEEDS TO CLEAR UP A FEW THINGS. ]

OKAY SWITCH TAKE THIS DOWN! AN OPEN LETTER TO SHINOHARA KENTA AND THE EDITORS OF SHOUNEN JUMP FROM A DEDICATED FANGIRL. JUST ADD IN THE APPROPRIATE EMOTICONS IN THERE. I TRUST YOUR JUDGEMENT.

DEAR SHINOHARA KENTA AND THE EDITORS OF SHOUNEN JUMP. I'VE BEEN A LONG TIME FAN OF YOUR SERIES. SWITCH IS SOOOOO CUTE. I WANT TO ---CENSOR--- AND ---CENSOR--- HIM AND ---CENSOR--- SOME MORE. BUT I DO HAVE SOME COMPLAINTS. I'VE NOTICED A RECENT AND DISTURBING TREND IN GIVING MORE PAGE TIME TO THE STUDENT COUNCIL. JUST IN THIS LAST CHAPTER ASIDE FROM WINNING OVER BOSSUN, AGATA ALSO SWOOPS IN ALL COOL AND ANNOYING AND PINEAPPLE-LIKE AND SAVES THE DAY AND GOES ALL 'OH I FORGOT ABOUT THE BET YOU'VE BEEN CRYING LIKE A LITTLE GIRL OVER' AND GIVES YABASAWA THE MOUTH SHAPED LIKE A 3----

--------------!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone tell Roman to stop changing the background on u---!

...WHERE AM I- WHEN AM I- WHO AM I?!



[ ooc: Just when you thought that your CAPSLOCK and GIANT FONT LEVELS have normalized, Bossun has returned and updated just after the Gachinko Vivage Arc fresh from being completely topped by Agata--- and lands right into a curse. Physically older but mentally? Never. Since he just got back, he has no idea what sort of curse this is and has no clue this is actually his older self. Using Misaki Takahashi from Junjou Romantica! ]

[ Have a tiny Bossun wandering through your City looking for his cousin, Onizuka Hime. ]

[ OOC: HAY THAR POLY, meet baby!Bossun. Today's curse has the Sket-Dan genre-switched into shoujo! More specifically, switched into Aishiteruze Baby! Well the Sket-Dan is stealing the basic premise and running with it. CANON IMAGES ARE CANON. READ SKET DANCE NOW. Action post is a go! Coo, play punt the baby... whatever! ]

...

AHA GUYS. Good news and bad news.

GOOD NEWS: we now have a skylight.

BAD NEWS: WE'RE NOT ON THE TOP FLOOR.

◤ THE CITY POLICE
RECRUITMENT PICNIC ◢




[ If you've checked your apartment/applicable living situation lately, you may have noticed these mini picnic baskets outside your door/applicable entryway situation. They contain cute little onigiri with faces on them and an invitation card with the message above. Some people however may have received this basket instead. The basket will contain a small toy gun and an apple with this invitation if they have made it generally known that they know their way around guns. Or they could have received another basket with handcuffs and with an invitation to learn how to REALLY work them and a reminder that these are not for recreational use. Feel free to decide whichever one they got! ]

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS AND WHAT IS IT DOING IN OUR HALLWAY?!

......YOU'D BETTER EXPLAIN YOURSELF RIGHT NOW, TSUBAKI!!!!

WHY ARE THERE STRAPS ON THIS THING...



[ ooc: unaffected obviously but isn't this a nice conversation starter? The evil plan was plotted here. He only received the bed of course. Comment log / action log welcome especially for fellow residents of BLDG. 10! Might not be able to get the tags right away but I'll answer them all in a few! ]

O B I T U A R Y

---

Fujisaki Yuusuke, better known as Bossun to friends, yesterday's lovers and enemies alike, died just a few minutes ago in an attempt to flee the city in the expectation of prolonged and violent death at the hands of several females. He is survived by his doting adoptive father, Sakata Gintoki and a frequently inebriated mother, Sakamoto Tatsuma as well as various subdefective siblings who shall not be named here for lack of convenient access to the family chart. Also surviving him is one universe-mate in tights, Tsubaki Sasuke and his ex-girlfriend who hopefully has been struck with a convenient case of amnesia and if not would please remember that her-his boyfriend was very kind and gentle in the duration of their relationship.

Bossun was the active and very reliable club-chief of the City chapter of the Sket-Dan, a forward-thinking youth with progressive ideas on community service. He will be missed by the City's many photocopiers and flyer-makers.

Please send all flowers and a great deal of food to Apartment #14 in Building 9.

[ ooc: He's not dead really, he's just FAKING HIS OWN DEATH to get out an actual one at the hands of... well there's quite a long list. And it's not pseuicide without a family/friend coming around to observe what happens and comment people back. But in this case, it's because Bossun doesn't know about filters so he can't let certain people know he's not really dead. ]

[ somewhere, in a gloriously cinematic section in the city is a young man standing in the rain and holding a puppy. ]

Saa... the world may seem cold. But this is only a passing rain.

[ it isn't actually raining and what he's holding may not be an actual live puppy. He's standing under the gentle sprinkle of a broken pipeline. but. IT'S A MOMENT. ]


[ OOC: MEGAPLAYBOY MODE is ON. This? IS A TRAP. Not that kind of trap. The other kind. Luring girls in with sensitive boy who is kind to small animals. Incontrovertible proof he reads shoujo. If your girl comments here, he will hit on her. If your trap/reverse trap comments here, he will hit on shir. If you want to point and laugh, he will still hit on you. Flirting style with vary, so if he thinks that's what your character would want, he WILL WALL YOU. ]
