I'm a bishounen?
"Bishounen" means beautiful boy in Japanese. The fact that I scored "bishounen catboi" on that quiz in the previous entry makes me feel--unwell.
1. Beautiful boy--the last time I saw those two words together in a non-anime context was when I read through a fan made script of Gladiator. The script said that Gracchus's (Derek Jacobi) "beautiful boy servant" notified him that the Praetorian Guard were coming. Reading it on text doesn't seem all that frightening, but when you see those twenty seconds on screen, it absolutely creepifying (is that even a word?) The beautiful boy servant looked like Pee Wee Herman with thick Mexican eyebrows and mascara. When you couple this with the fact of the rampant homosexuality in Classical period, you won't be able to sleep at night.
2. Most bishounen are vaguely androgynous. If you doubt me, just watch Fruits Basket or any CLAMP anime in which most of the characters are male. And look at the picture on the previous entry. If any man in real life wore those kind of jeans, you would not only be able to see his package, but also count the change in his pocket. I don't see Mr. Catboi's package anywhere. *shudder*
Perhaps this should have gone as an addendum to the previous post. Oh well, at least I wasted two minutes of your life polluting your mind with the thought of Pee Wee Herman fellating on Derek Jacobi. But give the former's track record and the latter's orientation, it really is not that farfetched a scenario.
OK, now I have to vomit.
