Anything That Moves is a disambiguation


* This is more of an IJBM at the fandom than anything, but what the hell is the deal with pairing Johnny and Jimmy together!? For one, it's pretty obvious that Nny hates Mmy with a bleeding passion, and on the other end Jimmy raped a ''girl''! Now, you could argue that [[AnythingThatMoves he really didn't care]], but he seems to want to see Johnny as more of a mentor than anything else. It just bugs me due to the lack of logic in these fangirls' delusions sometimes.

** It's the logical result of one of Creator/JhonenVasquez's most blatant {{Take That}}s at the FanDumb. The ones who would wind up on Nny's hit-list will, in full fucked-up fashion, take the new development and twist it into something ''[[UpToEleven worse.]]'' In this case, a [[NoYay sick and twisted]] [[CrackPairing pairing]] arguably more popular than the canon "love interest." [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Thanks, author.]]

** Simple. The PowersThatBe chose another wastelock, a weaker mind. Nny was already unstable when he became a wastelock, after all.

** That rule's existence has gotten me as close as I'm ever going to get at wanting to commit genocide. I don't even hate pedophiles this much.
*** [[DisproportionateRetribution Erm, why]]? It's only fan fiction. About fictional people, no less. It's not like they're causing harm in the real world.
**** Maybe because I have no life to speak of, or my life sucks and these characters are a form of escapism. Maybe it just squicks me out to see two people who hate each other suddenly start fondling each other for no reason at all, or it makes me consider my own relationship with my enemies in a new and disturbingly Freudian light. Maybe I'm just a sociopathic jerkass prone to [[DisproportionateRetribution overreacting to small slights against my psyche]] [[TooDumbToLive while ignoring the bigger picture entirely]]. Maybe it's all of the above? I don't know why. If I did, I could stop frothing at the mouth and slamming my head against hard objects when I see Nny and Mmy dressed up like cowboys in assless chaps for a clichéd Brokeback Mountain joke perpetuated by a seventeen-year-old [[DepravedBisexual Depraved Bisexual]] who knows absolutely nothing about gay culture and can only think along the simian lines of 1+1=TWOOOO! I don't know why it sets me off, but it does, and the fact that it's everywhere I turn doesn't help either.
***** In other words, is SeriousBusiness!

** Good point. Maybe he felt rushed and just couldn't think of any alternatives at the time. The whole series is implied to have gone over the course of several months though, so he may have just gotten all those people after the Edgar incident. Or maybe he completely forgot where he kept them all.

** I think it's the blood vessel thing. And that last question isn't so much JTHM-logic as it is Heaven-logic--may as well ask why Satan can shapeshift or why God's a giant baby.
* The killing of Edgar Vargas. I get that Nny's not exactly the picture of mental health, but surely he's aware of the room with the ''hundreds, maybe thousands of people gagged and cocooned in straitjackets hanging from the walls'' that Tess and Kirk find in book five. Surely Nny could use one of them? After all, he even said that he didn't want to kill Edgar, so why abduct him to begin with when he's got reserves?

** Sickness probably wasn't strong enough to leave much of an impact on the universe when she met her demise. That's my guess anyway.


Added DiffLines:

* What exactly happened to Johnny's eye after accidentally shooting himself? Did all of the blood vessels simply burst making it black (to the readers anyway) or did he lose it somehow? And if his eye did fall out, how did it just come back after putting a bandaid on the bullet wound? (Oh yeah, JtHM logic...forget that last question)

* So, according to Señor Diablo Johnny is made the lynchpin of reality so that he can collect all of humanity's filth, and it can be discharged into the nothingness that is left behind when he dies, and takes the universe with him. If this is true... then what the Heck happens to reality after Devi defeats Sickness (who, especially when using the plural, seems to be the psychodoughboys all over again). Not such a triumphant ending after all...

*** The idea was that the more insane Johnny gets the more "real" his hallucinations get. The wall monster might've been just a product of Nny's imagination at one point, but that sure as hell isn't stopping it now. Another explanation is that, since Johnny's the keystone to the universe and it disappears if he's dead, ''everything'' is his hallucination made flesh, not just the monster and the Doughboys. One more theory for the road--since the Universe is about to shitty-morphing-effect out of existence, reality's breaking down and what's real and what isn't doesn't matter anymore.
