Line #65 Funny/BeingMeiling


1	''Being Meiling'', and to a lesser extent its associated sequels, is full of many comedic moments.
2	----
3	!!In General
4	* This being mostly if not all narrated in first-person, any moment where the lead character cuts themselves off for MoodWhiplash.
5	-->'''Meiling:''' ''...Hey, what's that in the sky? Looks like someone riding a-''\
6	''DAMN. DOUBLE DAMN. STUPID BLACK-WHITE. STUPID WITCH IT WAS SUCH A NICE DAY. SHE'S GONNA BLAST THROUGH AND I'M GONNA CATCH HELL."''\
7	'''Marisa:''' Heeeeeey, China!\
8	'''Meiling:''' ''IT'S MEILING YOU BRAINDEAD YUTZ.''
9
10	!!''Being Meiling''
11	* The multiple-choices at the end of each chapter/post that allows for AudienceParticipation. They bring they're own brand of comedy to the table. For examples:
12	** At the end of the post/chapter where Sakuya and Yuuka end up fighting over Meiling, all of the options are generally of Meiling telling them to stop. In the following chapter, while initially thinking about stopping them, she decides to TakeAThirdOption and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere walks away from the fight, declaring herself needing a vacation.]]
13	** When attempting to counter Flandre and Koakuma's attempts at barging in on Reimu and Remilia's private time, she has several methods, which leads to Meiling [[CallingYourAttacks calling out the chosen attack out loud]].
14	--->''[ ] Punishment Kick!\
15	[ ] Get-a-Life Chop!\
16	[ ] Sensibility Suplex!\
17	[ ] Tackle of Terror!''
18	** When "Girls night out in the city" was the last major option at the time, Keymaster had fun with it by presenting four options... [[ButThouMust which are all the same aforementioned option]]. Cue the voters [[SeriousBusiness agonizing over the decisions]].
19	* The way the fanfic [[EstablishingSeriesMoment establishes itself]] in the beginning with Meiling taking vengeance against Marisa. Doubles as an SugarWiki/AwesomeMoment.
20	** Meiling, having already endured enough of the "unable to stop Marisa from entering the mansion" {{Fanon}} throughout her past, takes a stand against Marisa by snatching the Mini-hakkero out of her hand just before she could attempt to cast a Master Spark. The sheer confusion Marisa displays at suddenly not having her trinket, followed by outrage at the martial-artist for their stunt.
21	** And Meiling doesn't settle there, practically {{Troll}}ing Marisa the whole time, culminating in Meiling (and Sakuya) tossing the Hakkero, broom, and hat back and forth as Marisa tries in vein to get it all back, with Aya snapping pictures of Marisa's humiliation being the absolute kicker.
22	* The introduction of Drunk Flandre, and everything that follows:
23	** Flandre believes in the BuxomBeautyStandard, as demonstrated by her long spiel over everyone she knows who's gifted, with the exception of her and her sister, which [[ACupAngst she sees as an injustice]]. The casual "what the heck" attitude and drunken way of speaking is what really sells this.
24	--->'''Flandre:''' Even that flower youkai who wants your breasts.\
25	'''Meiling:''' ''Urk!''
26	** The sheer OhCrap from Meiling (and later Marisa) upon realizing that the young PersonOfMassDestruction Flandre Scarlet is intoxicated.
27	** When first discover in this state, she's been casually creating holes in the walls by just walking through with little to no care. By her logic, the door was locked (As Meiling immediately points out, most of the hallway doors don't have locks), so she decided to use the wall instead.
28	** Marisa barging into the Scarlet Devil Mansion is an inopportune time for Meiling... but it gave Flan the chance to voice her thoughts about Marisa derriere, with her bringing up her disappointment about her own figure again. Marisa is naturally confused/concerned with the drunk Flandre, [[ATruceWhileWeGawk putting aside her intentions of barging in to take vengeance against Meiling]].
29	** [[FromBadToWorse Yuuka joins the scene to witness the out-of-context scenario before her]], with Flan immediately saying what she has on her mind regarding both her and Meiling, embarrassing both girls by going too far in certain topics.
30	--->'''Flandre:''' If you want to bang Meiling, she's busy.\
31	'''Meiling:''' ''OHGODFLANWHAT.''\
32	'''Yuuka:''' WHAAAAAAA?!
33	** Flandre [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech tearing into Aya for her tabloids]] may not necessarily be funny [[note]]Especially with ''Tengu of (Mis)Fortune'' [[HarsherInHindsight in mind]].[[/note]], but her comment on the tengu [[SeriousBusiness ruining panties]] and taking the time to mock Aya's attire certainly makes up for it.
34	--->'''Flandre:''' Also, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking your shoes and hat are dumb]].\
35	'''Aya:''' Hey! These are traditional tengu garb-\
36	'''Flandre:''' They're dumb.
37	** After Flandre passes out with her epiphany about being a mean drunk, Remilia finally joins late to the party to see the absolute mess this event ends on, with the vampire resigning herself with a "Nope" and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere immediately making her leave]].
38	* Cirno making an ice mecha for herself, leading to the idea of becoming a superhero thanks to Meiling trying to teach her WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility. After reading a news article about Cirno's latest deeds the following morning, Meiling has a startling revelation late after reading through said news article: it's from '''[[ImmoralJournalist Bunbunmaru]]''', and she's reading it because of Cirno.
39	* The fact that, out of all five of the Scarlet Devil group, [[{{Hikikomori}} Patchouli]] has the capabilities of finding a man for a one-night stand. In contrast: Sakuya and Koakuma came off too aggressive in their attempts, while Remilia and Meiling end up picking the wrong person to talk to (Remi in particular also had to contend with those treating her like a child [[OlderThanTheyLook because of her appearance]]). The sight of Patchi [[HiddenDepths displaying uncharacteristic charisma to get laid]] made the group decide to go back to DrowningTheirSorrows.
40	* The whole Scarlet Devil group helping Remilia to have some personal time with Reimu. The scenario as a whole is mostly wholesome, but Flandre's expectation (and dedicated planning) of babies from this sets the recurring gag of Flandre being a third wheel in Reimu and Remilia's love affair.
41	* After an incident with Marisa drunk on mushrooms and vengeance against Meiling, the latter comes up with a plan to get back at her: [[ChekhovsGag Drunk Flandre]]. The vampire doesn't just settle for calling her out for her actions, but calling for her to settle down -- [[InsaneTrollLogic or be settled down, by someone]] -- which leads to Flan having the witch inexplicably engaged with a random fairy that walked in at the right time. Most of the cast are naturally confused about the hard left turn this situation took, [[BigWhat while Marisa...]]
42	* The story arc of Meiling and Sakuya [[SwappedRoles swapping jobs for the day]], with the inevitable consequences that followed for both parties:
43	** Sakuya prepares to go outside for gate-keeping duty with a bold look... and gets greeted with a raging thunderstorm outside. All Sakuya could do was stand there mouth agape until Meiling hands her an umbrella and some encouragement.
44	--->'''Meiling:''' Remember to hurry to the gate, or you'll be struck by lightning~!\
45	'''Sakuya:''' What, wa- ''[gets pushed outside, door closes]''
46	** Meiling has a general hard time with the fairy maids. With the highlights include one pyromaniac of a fairy trying to roast marshmallows for herself and causes a fire several times, and trying to wake up a large group of them for breakfast, with her efforts being met with resistance from the tired group, until...
47	--->'''Meiling:''' I'm carrying knives.\
48	''[cue all fairies in the room rushing out]''
49	** Sakuya's attempt at gardening results in her getting tangled and scratched in a rose bush, [[EpicFail with her situation somehow getting worse and worse with the repeated use of her time-stop]].
50	* Aya has an intervention over her creepy Cirno obsession. While a lot of the tengu's behaviour is just plain creepy, everyone's reactions to it are just gold.
51	** Meiling in particular almost has a mental breakdown over learning of Aya's 'Cirno Wall'; not helped by the detail of Aya taking various pictures of the fairy, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything including those where she's given candy]].
52	--->'''Meiling:''' ''You're fulfilling all the stereotypes, you lolicon tengu predator!''
53	** Yuuka joining the intervention late enough to witness Aya's obsession summarized in one hypothetical leaves her face blank with TranquilFury, followed by her deadpan death threat:
54	--->'''Yuuka:''' One blast. All I need is to hit her with one blast, and there will be no sign of her, no evidence.
55	** Later we get this summary from Yuuka, as well as a possible "cure":
56	--->'''Yuuka:''' Cirno is fantastic news, and that has combined horribly with her passionate nature and drive for success into an unhealthy obsession with the ice fairy. Throw in apparent closet masochism, and you have a perfect storm of perversion. Possible cures include punching her in the head for three days straight- with a gauntlet- [[ElectricTorture and massive induction of electricity]].\
57	'''Remilia:''' And that will 'cure' her?\
58	'''Yuuka:''' No, but it'll make me feel better.
59	** All of this becomes funnier with a dash of FridgeBrilliance: it's common in fanworks for the otherwise casually malicious Yuuka to [[MoralityPet have a soft spot for Cirno and her crew]], and even in canon, it's implied [[WouldNotHurtAChild she considers harming children as beneath her]]. Having tripped over ''two'' of the Ultimate Sadistic Creature's {{Berserk Button}}s, Aya should be thanking the gods she's still alive!
60	** Weaponizing drunk Flandre [[RunningGag once again]] to handle Aya, with her first words towards the tengu:
61	--->'''Flandre:''' You still suck.\
62	'''Aya:''' Not agaaaaain!
63	* Reimu and Remilia spend a long time in the bedroom together, the implication that they're engaging in sexual activities together, [[TheImmodestOrgasm going by the muffled moans leaking through the door]]. That would be the end of the story, if some innocent and curious fairies didn't enter the equation. Not to mention Grandchildren-wanting Flandre and succubus Koakuma...
64	** Meiling trying to goad the fairies into leaving the bedroom door behind, skirting around the topic of why they should as much as possible.
65	--->'''Fairy:''' ...Why are you blushing?\
66	'''Meiling:''' ITS A SUNBURN.
67	** Sakuya gets a little too interested at Flandre's claim of it being possible for a pair of girls to bear children, considering her romantic interest in Meiling, prompting the latter to protest.
68	--->'''Meiling:''' SAKUYA!\
69	'''Sakuya:''' It's just for... [[BlatantLies for the sake of supporting the mistress! That's all!]]
70	** Meiling's first action to keep both Flandre and Koakuma from trying to open the door is to grab them both by the waist, then slam them with a [[CallingYourAttacks "SENSIBILITY SUPLEX!"]] Patchouli naturally [[LampshadeHanging questions the odd attack call in the moment.]]
71	--->'''Patchouli:''' "Sensibility suplex?"\
72	'''Meiling:''' It was all I could think of...
73	** Upon Koakuma opening the door when the defending group was distracted with Flandre, its revealed that intimate moment between the couple [[BaitAndSwitch was just Remilia giving Reimu a foot-rub]]. After the intruding Koa and Flan get their punishment from the couple for intruding, Meiling shares this {{Double Subver\|ted}}sion: Remilia was massaging a specific PressurePoint in Reimu's foot, with the cries of the latter not just simply exaggerated relaxation.
74	--->'''Meiling:''' Did you know that there are nerves in the feet that are connected to just about every single part of your body?"
75	* Meiling beating up a perving Koishi - and being ''completely unaware of it'' until she wakes up to a strange girl lying unconscious on the ground.
76	* Meiling's girls night out into the underground city with Koakuma, Reisen, Shou, Iku and Tenshi naturally went awry when alcohol entered the equation, [[WhatDidIDoLastNight leaving much of what happened a blur for much of the arc]]. Most of the cast is wearing each-other's clothing, the city has a trail of ruins (though the Oni seem to not care much about that), Parsee's in a red PlayboyBunny outfit retching into a toilet, Reisen's found BoundAndGagged in a large spider web courtesy of a sleepy and nearly-naked Yamame who's cuddling up to her, a sleeping underwyrm rests atop a pile of glass bottles (with Meiling vaguely remember ''riding'' the thing), Iku is competely without her clothes -- only having a tablecloth for modesty, and Shou is legally married to ''Koishi Komeiji''. And that's all from just waking up in the morning.
77	** Poor Reisen being at the mercy of the spider youkai, begging the others to get her out of the spider web before Yamame gets any more frisky with her, not wanting to become [[NoodleIncident "Master's science experiment again"]].
78	--->'''Reisen:''' SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING!\
79	'''Koakuma:''' Here ya go. ''[lobs a box of condoms at the spider web, earns stares from the group]'' ...What? It'll prevent pregnancy!\
80	'''Shou:''' ...Can she even get pregnant? I mean, they're both girls.\
81	'''Iku:''' Magic. Youkai are involved. Who knows?\
82	'''Reisen:''' LESS DEBATING, MORE HELPING!
83	** Meiling's attempt at apologizing to Satori results in the mind reader ranting about the very city she lives in:
84	--->'''Satori:''' You know what they would call this in any other city in the world? They would call this a calamity. A disaster of unprecedented proportions. [[ButForMeItWasTuesday Do you know what the Oni call this? Tuesday.]]\
85	'''Yuugi:''' It was a Wednesday evening.\
86	'''Satori:''' Silence, Hoshiguma.\
87	'''Yuugi:''' ...'Kay.
88	** [[HypocriticalHumor Tenshi, of all people, smugly berating Iku for her drunken behavior.]]
89	** Poor sexually frustrated succubus Koakuma thought she finally gotten laid with some Oni men, but completely forgotten her experience due to the hangover. Worse still, it's latter reveal that she still didn't get lucky, as the Oni men she was with happen to be a particular group who pride themselves in their gentlemen behavior. [[ThrowTheDogABone Though, she at least leaves the city hopeful from their speech of encouragement, which later results in things going her way.]]
90	* Poor Marisa has to deal with Pameel drastically changing her life ever since becoming married. In particular, Marisa isn't happy with all the cleaning and organizing of her house, evidently being attached to her various messes and dangers, going by her deadpan responses:
91	-->'''Marisa:''' ...It was my clutter, and I liked it...\
92	'''Pameel:''' And things never catch on fire anymore!\
93	'''Marisa:''' Those were my fires and I liked them...\
94	'''Pameel:''' And that's to say nothing of that nest of poisonous spiders I found in the attic! I had to shoo them away, because they were stealing food!\
95	'''Marisa:''' Those were my spiders and I liked them...
96	* Speaking of poor sexually frustrated succubus Koakuma, when she ''finally'' gets a man... well, let's just say that {{Making Love In All The Wrong Places}} barely even covers what they get up to, and that Koakuma's ability to fly is given a ''workout.''
97	* After eight threads of Flandre bugging her sister and Reimu about BABIES!, her reaction to finding [[PowerPerversionPotential Meiling, Yuuka, and Sakuya]] curled up in bed is hilarious in its contrast.
98	-->'''Flandre''': I'm already trying to visualize how this all worked. And I don't want to, Meiling. I really, really don't want to.
