1. 95% of Death Note fans only like it because it's the cool thing to do.

2. Dominant Uke? That's an oxymoron.

3. That's why I haven't finished Xenosaga 3 yet-- it's too good to end. ;__;

12. LOL

[01] I'm afraid to go and read fan fiction for the series; I'm slowly reading the whole thing and I'm loving it for how it is. bad fan fiction will kill it for me.

[02] Now that would be an interesting sight to see with ukes and semes.

[12] -snort- XD ♥

[02.] Dominant uke don't just lay there and take it like (pardon the sexist comment) a woman, so to speak.

2. I think you're going for a more "active uke," then. XD;

I'm sorry if I'm coming off as a dick.

[grayout.livejournal.com]

It's entirely possible for the uke to be dominant, especially if the seme is a reluctant one? Like, if the uke is the one being all HIM, HE'S MINE, instead of the other way around. Or more literally, "GRR you sit, I sit on you, BITCH"

[hako-neko.livejournal.com]

Aah yes, I see what you mean.

[grayout.livejournal.com]

Glad to be of help! *dies*

4. Ieyasu was AWESOME, holla. :D

[nosferatu-blue.livejournal.com]

2. Yeah, it can get so boring after a while when every new "original" story fits in with the predetermined archetypes of seme and uke. Personally, I like beefy, where it's the little mannerisms of their characters that determine top & bottom vs. who is taller. (Reversibles are love!)

3. Oh wow, so THAT'S why I've never finished reading a manga series I like! Yeah, it's better when it never ends (if only in our imaginations!)

4. Seems like most can't get past the "pretty" factor when it comes to those two. "Who cares about his personality! He's fucking HAWT! DROOLZ" "Zomg, so ugly! Do not want!"
WTF?
Of course, looks can only get them so far. Their characters will carry them (or not) the rest of the way.

10. Rabid BNFs are fucking scary. Heaven forbid someone oppose them. My sympathies. (There should be others who share your love of ships. Don't lose heart. ♥)

11. Oh god, I'm going to hell but I AGREE! It just seems so much more interesting and gritty than the NOW time.

2.) Dominate ukes or uke that fucking look like men.

4.) Preach the gospel, my brother/sister! Ieyasu Tokugawa ftw!

9.) Yeah, that shit pisses me off too. It's always the good artists/writers that are ignored. Half of it is because of obscure fandoms or because they don't 'ship what the vast majority does.

I can draw.... erm.... kinda. _{if you can call what I scribble out art} But I can't write worth shit.

And half the time, I think 90% of the twits in Y!G are underaged anyway.

2. That's why I like Hiruma uke. *dies* Everyone is like noo Hiruma semes everybody look at how bossy and dominating he is and I'm like EXACTLY! D'you think he'd give a shit what anyone else thought about whatever position he plays where no matter -what- he's doing as long as it's what he wants? *DIES* "I will have you in my ass at gunpoint, fucking seme." Hiruma ♥

9. You kinda do sound full of yourself. >>"

10. Go champion your ship and become a BNF and fight back! :D :D :D Okay, yeah, probably a bad idea, but it'd be funny.

12. For me, I have more of a problem of how they connect Axel in CoM to Axel in KH2. 180-degree turnarounds in character from "lol i backstab u" to "WOXAS I NEED LOVE IN THE BUTT NOW" don't sit right with me.

[(Anonymous)]

Case wins again. :D ♥ Thank you for clarifying, that's EXACTLY what I meant.

[(Anonymous)]

2. I'm determined to make it happen EVERYWHERE. ♥

[(Anonymous)]

2. Personally, what I meant by this secret was... little things really shouldn't determine who's top/bottom. Even a MANLY-MAN can say, "Hey, I like it up the butt! :D"

Re: # 2, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11.

2. Reversibles are awesome, but, there are some men who do have preferences as to what position they take! That's when those top/bottom or seme/uke things come in. :D As for the second half, hey man, effeminate males exist! They don't have to be women-with-penises, but, still!

[zhoutaisdayoff.livejournal.com]

Hiruma would make a very bossy uke. I would so wanna see that.

[(Anonymous)]

2. I KNEW you'd be one of the people who understood the meaning of the secret. ♥ God, you rock so much~.

[grayout.livejournal.com]

Atreylune: Now I wanna write/read a fic where Hiruma actually uses that line
gerudolahrali: DO IT
gerudolahrali: *cough* HirumaSakuraba *cough*
Atreylune: Sakuraba would be all wut wait wut no hey ahhh
gerudolahrali: *DIES* ItwouldbesoFUNNY
Atreylune: And Sakuraba blurts out like "hey! I'm supposed to be the unquestionable uke in this series!" and Hiruma's all I'm blackmailing the creators

Word to number 12.

10, I feel your pain.

9. Quite Possibly, but I've taken lots of criticism to get to where I'm at right now and I'm proud of what I can do. I don't think I'm da bomb, or god's gift to fandom (fuck, there are others who I know would pwn me in a write-off), but I'm not going to coyly say that I'm not any good when I know I am.
What really irritates me, (and was the point of this secret) is when I try hard to get better than I am (listening to critics and applying their suggestions), and then I see other people who don't put any effort out and get praised LIKE CRAZY for it.

(I'd written this secret with someone I know in mind who actively views crits as flames and doesn't try at all to improve their abilities.) In hindsight I would have reworded it (because I know those who CAN do both well as well), but what's done is done.
