33. The only one in the fandom? Oh, please. Since when has Jade/Dist ever been that big in the ToA fandom? It's always been one of the smaller pairings.

I find Jade/Dist about as plausible as Guy/Asch, but I let fans of both pairings do whatever they like. I think I have a hunch as to who you're talking about.

Still, the pairing isn't even that big. Stop acting like it is.

THANK YOU. I ship it myself, but just -- buh??? Where the hell are these people seeing so much Jade/Dist?? Seriously, am I just looking in the wrong places? Because sure, there's some, but there's far more Peony/Jade from what I can tell. :|

[kasumi-blue.livejournal.com]

Apparently a lot of the ToA threads in /y/ end up having a lot of Jade/Dist fanart posted in them. I don't pay much attention to 4chan, though. So I wasn't aware.

There isn't even that much Jade/Dist doujinshi. The person who made the secret is overreacting.

[downburst.livejournal.com]

I've been to /y/, and while there is a number of Jade/Dist fanart posted there, there's... still not a whole lot! Plus I've also seen tons of Jade/Guy and Peony/Jade fanart there, and I can safely say that there's waaaaay more of that than Jade/Dist stuff.

And then, if you take into account that the Abyss doujinshi market is oversaturated with Peony/Jade, well!!

I love how desperately important pairings are to fans.

It's funny, in a way. Not the fans themselves, just the wank. But, Christ people. It's just a series of abstract What If concepts based around relationships.

Nothing to fight about.

Psst -- unrelated, but that icon was actually made by powercorrupts at icontemplation. Borderless, too :x

[destructively.livejournal.com]

Well well! CFUD's got a couple icon thieves it seems... xD;

[kasumi-blue.livejournal.com]

The ToA fandom has relatively little pairing wank, actually.

[destructively.livejournal.com]

Really? I was just referring to any wank about pairings at all.

[asdhjfbciwu3487.livejournal.com]

I don't like Jade/Dist, but I couldn't tell you where people are finding it. Last time I went to 4chan it was pretty popular, but other than that, I have no clue. My disliking it has nothing to do with that, since when I see a pairing I don't like, I just scroll on by, lol.

[kasumi-blue.livejournal.com]

Apparently it's all on 4chan.

I've hardly encountered it on LJ, though O_o I only know one person who's really into the pairing.

it really isn't a big deal, though, lol.

not the OP, but....

[(Anonymous)]

I like how the secret is worded: "I feel like the only person in the fandom.." and you still feel the need to say that they're "overreacting," and that the pairing "isn't that big" when they're talking about a personal relationship rather than the entire fandom. Also, chances are you don't know the poster personally, nor do you know the situation the poster is dealing with. And when did the secret poster EVER mention anything contradictory of the idea to "let fans of both pairings do whatever they like"? I don't think they did - they just don't like that particular pairing and think it's being pushed on them by, once again, someone they probably have a personal basis with.
