ELEVEN THOUSAND WORDS AND NOT ONE OF YOU REALISED
As I am 99% certain that everyone who follows me also follows Blueshift (we are both British and amazing and thus fall within the same demo) and so will have read his (REALLY HEARTWARMING HE IS TOO GOOD TO ME) blog post revealing that YES IT WAS ALL A TRICK, he is not actually marrying a Starscream dakimakura. We swapped passwords for the day as part of Obs' FaceWhatever thing because we thought it would be more fun because we reckoned people changing their accounts would be a. a hassle and b. immediately noticeable. Newsflash, FIMFIC IS NOT THE SHARPEST NAIL IN THE FORGE. Reading Pen Stroke and Obs' comments was A LITTLE BIT DEPRESSING. Blueshift immediately completely outshadowed me by saying "I'll write you a story" and then writing an 11,000 word REALLY FUNNY STORY, at which point I choked and couldn't think of ANYTHING TO DO AT ALL, until like an hour before the day changed at which point I thought "oh well I will have him come out as a body-pillow lover."
AND THE REST IS HISTORY.
But no, seriously, I am super grateful to Blue for going totally all out for this gag. The story is amaze and I am keeping the Paul Darrow shrine in my user page literally forever (if you have not seen the Paul Darrow shrine, go to my userpage RIGHT NOW). It was, I confess, SUPER HILARIOUS to see absolutely none of you even SUSPECT I didn't write it. If anyone says they did, I HAVE YOUR COMMENTS, YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME.
Also, Blue is entirely right, you should watch Blake's 7. It's a very very good show, and massively influential. There are a good few sci-fi classics that just would not exist if not for Blake's 7, and looking at it with a postmodern eye you can practically see the seeds of modern sci-fi being sown. It was also ballsy as heck for the time - the ending's been spoiled for you but WHAT AN ENDING. The only shows that would do that these days are either adapted from books or are Japanese. You may find it a little hard to get past how incredibly old it is (it occasionally suffers from what some classic Who also suffers from, the curse of "people just knew less about making television at the time"), but it is well worth persevering because you will be rewarded with a really great thing. Also, Avon is literally the best. Also, just LOOK AT THIS OP
So, yeah, I think that's about it. Blue has kind of psyched me up about ponies and stuff with all this so I may try and finally bust out the last part of the Rainbow Dash chapter of H+S because, man, I left you on a bitch of a cliffhanger. Anyway, here is Intergalactic Space Crusaders again. Because, you know. C'mon.
PS: Did anyone notice that I deliberately spelt my name wrong in "Blue's" blog post, because he does it EVERY SINGLE TIME. I think he has started doing it deliberately too.

No Arc, that was the one time you spelled it right
1977478 One day people will see my name and read the letters that are in it and the relative positions into which they are arranged and construct a sound from those things that is "Arcainum." Today is not that day.
See, Arc, I didn't catch it 'cuz I thought Blueshift was just coming out as gay.
I figured the Starscream fuckpillow was just snark :P
1977513 DELICIOUS VICTORY
1977516 I dunno. You succeeded in making me think that Blueshift was gay, a thing which I was not invested in anyway. But you did not convince me that the fuckpillow was part and parcel of the whole thing. I thought Blueshift was just being silly. :P
1977519 Nono, the goal was to make people think that Blueshift had perpetrated a an April Fool's joke of making a big coming out announcement that looked like he was gay but then OOP NOPE HE WAS TALKING ABOUT A DAKIMAKURA OH BLUESHIFT YOU WAG. But in your case the coming out portion was SO EFFECTIVE you actually thought he was coming out, which is like, a SUPER victory.
It's like if you ordered a cake except when you opened the box it's Rachel Stevens.
Wait a minute.
Your icon isn't the Team Dai-Gurren logo.
WHY ISN'T YOUR ICON THE TEAM DAI-GURREN LOGO?
1977802 Because my icon is PAUL DARROW. Maybe I will make it Paul Darrow WITH THE DAI-GURREN-DAN LOGO FOR A FACE
Congrats, Arcainum. I will readily admit you and Blueshift totally got me. Which was an accomplishment, given that it happened on April Fool's, a day I normally take everything I read on the internet as a joke. I was seriously ready to say goodbye to HF&S all over again.
Now I'm expecting at least a resolution to that cliffhanger, though.
How do I know that you're not still some sort of imposter?
1978574
I'm not
EDIT: whoops, was logged in to the wrong account!
1979080
You fiend. why must you make me distrust you so?
1979180 That was actually me, Blueshift
EDIT: or was it?!
1979628
Ok, I have an easy solution here.
From this point on, I'll just consider Arcainum and Blueshift as the same person, fused together in some sort of horrific accident.
That way, everybody is happy!

So uh, basically this:

That's the one. Just with about 34% more rugged good looks and maybe a dash of cinnamon.
