Not quite. Dressing like a guy who looks like a girl isn't a recursive trap, it's just dressing like a feminine guy. That's still in the realm of one trap. It has to be actively pretending (or completely mistaken, until they're told about the first trap) in order to count. ^^


*Reading new sporkings* o wo

This makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER. Interesting.  

[stickdude]

Doesn't that more or less negate the whole thing from the get go?

 

[Rednal]

No, it doesn't. XD Because the first layer eventually comes off, so both the other characters and the audience think "okay, however they look, they're X", not realizing that they've got it wrong the entire time. The trap keeps working until the end of the series or so. XD  

[stickdude]

Oh okay. Totally ambiguous and keeps you guessing until the reveal.

 

[Rednal]

Nope, not guessing, because you think there's nothing to be guessed. XP That's the point of a good trap.

Reverse Trap Trap, I get it! XD

 

[Rednal]

Yeah, something like that. Three is the normal number; when it gets to be more ridiculous than that, characters are usually just like "Screw this, I don't even know anymore!" and all. ^^ Still, it's a fun change from normal traps.

[Rednal]

Yes. =D

That's more or less my go-to image when I can't think of anything to say. ^^;

In other news, I got Devil Survivor 2 for the trip on Thanksgiving... that should last me through the car rides. ^^ Muwahahahahaha!

And otherwise, um... I'unno. o wo Need to watch the new SAO episode, at least. And lament over the lack of GGO (esp. Sinon).  

[stickdude]

Go watch episode 3 of season 3 if you haven't already. That's on my to-do list.

 

[Rednal]

I watched it premiere. XD It was... they probably could've gone further, actually, but it was fun all the same. And vaguely terrifying.  

[stickdude]

Well, anyway. I am going to bed. ^^
