12. Dude, I am so there with you. My Dad recently rediscovered our Nintendo, and every time I play Pokemon Snap and hear their little noises I think of that episode. I can barely even remember what happened, but I remember it was incredibly sad and I get depressed every time I even think about it, lol.

[(Anonymous)]

46. The mods don't know what they're doing there.

[(Anonymous)]

No kidding. The character lists for almost all the fandoms are woefully incomplete and contain misspellings. Also, they're almost never updated. Depictions of female-to-male transgendered characters isn't allowed, which would be understandable in the case of porn, but it extends to written fiction with no sex scenes or even visuals and only words.

25. OUENDANNNNNNNN~!
I love that series SO MUCH. It's hands down one of the best music games ever. I really wish I could find doujin of it, for how popular it seems to be, there seems to be NOTHING out there.

Re: 25

[mature.livejournal.com]

Doujishi DO exist, but the only way you'd be able to get 'em is to go to Comiket. I know Chabudai has made a few, and I personally would love to get my hands on the Ippongi/J (not kidding!) one.

[yentai.livejournal.com]

12. Yeah....I cried so hard when I watched taht ep xD ah memories... ♥

[animalboything.livejournal.com]

30. Don't deserve to be talented? Wow. Sour grapes?

34. I love you for having Babyhip fanart. You should try to find Chiraru's cosplay of Kenny a la Babyhip style - it was really awesome.

OP 34

[(Anonymous)]

It was a terribly awesome cosplay and didn't help my addiction at all.

[cye-nako.livejournal.com]

1. ...I REMEMBER THAT! I was thinking of it a few days ago and I wanted to watch it! But even though I remember the plot and the awesomeness of the first season and some of the stuff with the bat in the sequel, I can no longer remember the name!

5. Just keep quiet and the kid will never know?

12. Agreed.

17. It was so sweet!

40. ...the broken dreams of childhood. T_T

73. You make me curious about this series...

Not!Secret 3. You. You get cookies. Lots of them.

[(Anonymous)]

...is a repeat, I'm pretty sure.

And also really too bad, considering that they're both nasty jerks who don't actually write very well at all. They weren't laughing at themselves, they were laughing at everyone else (probably even you), and being terrible bitches about it. I'm sorry you seem to think they're people worth admiring.

68 OP.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, it is a repeat. That was my fault.

Likewise, I am sorry you seem to hold a grudge against two people who say more than "OMFG I LUV U" and actually state their opinions, negative or positive. And let's not forget the fact that they did this on their own journals, and did not link to the fic, flame or otherwise harass any author of whatever they were commenting on.

Not everyone is going to OMG LOVE your writing, and that's okay. What no one seems to notice is that it's an opinion, and that they did the equivalent of someone saying "wow, that movie sucked" on their own journal. But no movie writer comes and yells at them, do they?

I'm also sorry you can't seem to look past the criticism they apparently gave you and see that they're actually very pleasant people. As for their talent, if you think they have none, well, that's simply your opinion, isn't it? I just happen to have a differing one.

This is all assuming you are upset with them for that huge DGM Wank Fest a good while ago. Oops if I'm wrong, but I personally can't see any other reason for your disdain.

[melengro.livejournal.com]

30. WOW. You are being very jealous and petty about this. S.E. Hinton wrote The Outsiders at fifteen, Thomas Chatterton successfully faked a Shakespeare play at the same age, and Rimbaud's best work comes from his early twenties (before he became a small-arms dealer in Ethiopia). Genius is not undeserved by default. The problem is at your end, not theirs.

[radiopowered.livejournal.com]

6. Er, you pretty much brought up your dilemma and the overall outcome for your dilemma in that single secret. You don't have to like certain parts of any kind of fandom (in this case, anything non-canon) to enjoy it. But with a strong intolerance like yours, I seriously doubt you're going to get any luck finding friends in whatever fandom you try to get into or are trying to get into. As it's probably been stated before, being canon does not give you any type of special treatment. It's just an empty word. No one can make you like non-canon, you just have to learn to suck it up and deal with it. Otherwise you're just going to be waving around some big "canon" stick trying to look threatening when it really only makes you look like an idiot.

30. Because we all know that blossoming talent isn't allowed to pre-teens or young adults. That's only for the big kids. We might as well keep them from having career aspirations. Little pricks need to just stick to watching their cartoons and going to school.They have no right trying to develop a bright future and skills that they could strengthen and enjoy later on in their lives.

Re: #30

[poisontea.livejournal.com]

I think I love you. *cracking up*

[fangirlism]

05. Do it anywayyyyyyyyyy! The fandom is soooooo deadddddddddd we need people!
24. TOMMY~! ♥ My first fandom crush.
30. And why don't they deserve their talent? Plz explain.
65. I haven't seen that one yet. o______O
73. Mukuro!! :D

[batmarg.livejournal.com]

5) I've recently been getting into the series. Got any fic recs? :)

06

[nest.livejournal.com]

06. Don't see why you'd want fandom friends, seeing your interest in fandom seems to be completely different/more casual. I mean, I guess it'd be nice just to have someone to geek out with, but you can do that with people who like fanfics/fanart/pairings, too, you know. But if you only like canon, and hate fanworks so much, I wouldn't expect to ever really fit into fandom like other people do. Maybe you could write essays or something about the canon material for people to read and discuss, but that would require making some kind of interpretation that the canon never outright says, which doesn't seem to be your cup of tea. e.e;;

I personally find sticking straight to omg canon boring (had friends like that in the past, and they came across as really snobby until they isolated themselves from the rest of fandom), but that doesn't mean I condone making the characters OOC or completely bastardizing the series in question. (Although, incidentally, there are many series with characters who are never outright stated to be straight OR gay. Do you just not support any pairings at all with them, or what?)

In short: Not everyone in fandom is a retarded, squeeing fangirl who only cares about who's shagging who, but it's going to be pretty hard to connect with people if you hate it when they even think about getting creative with the canon material, whether you tell them so or not. Even if you never outright tell them how you feel, I think that kind of energy carries over into conversations and stuff, and it becomes clear you're not that interested in what they have to say/what they're doing.

[/ramble]

58 repeat

[harveytheayeaye.livejournal.com]

pretty sure

[poisontea.livejournal.com]

03. Already been said, but anybody who doesn't like a series because there's no sex (or because of what pairing ended up canon, besides obvious exceptions like when it actually is random or out of character) gets a big huge "WTF" from me.

04. Agreed so hard. It's like his "dream scene"- I cry more during that bit than most other parts of the show. And that expression on his face makes me a sad bunny inside. ):

06. You know, for a lot of series, the original source material is not perfect, some of the characters are not as fully explored as they could be and never WILL be... not to mention that, you know, the default setting for everybody in the world is not 'STRAIGHT UNTIL PROVEN GAY' (in before BUT BISEXUALITY IS IMAGINARY- *shot*).

But mostly, I guess my advice would be to just- stay away from the majority of fandom. You want to be part of something that is 99% MADE OF the things you have a burning hatred for? Fandom IS fanfiction, fanart, noncanonical pairings, and a ton of other stuff that... isn't the main canon. If you just want the main canon, just- watch/read the main canon. Because you know, even discussing a character's motivations and trying to dig deeper into motivations and underlying themes among your friends is non-canon- you're reading stuff into the original source material that isn't right there plainly stated.

Short version: I don't hate you, but yes, in a fandom environment, I think most people would rightfully think you're not much fun to interact with, if you hate what fandom is.

10. ... I usually slam people who respond with things like this, SO LET ME PHRASE IT REALLY CAREFULLY. I don't respect you or your opinion any less, per se? But that end slam on Haibane Renmei, which I believe WAS something incredible, and I don't know the show in your secret, but I'm preeeeetty sure we have severely different tastes, so I'm just going to discard your opinion on it until/unless I see it and form an opinion myself.

12. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PIKACHU EPISODE. >E No, seriously, I was sad with the Butterfree, but I bawled like a dork when Ash left Pikachu behind. The song still makes me cry. /lame

15. Haha, I know how you feel. I get told a TON of movies are horrible, but I... like most of them. ): Just differing tastes, people, geez. (I haven't seen that movie, but my god everyone hates Bewitched... XD;)

17. I- I cried then, and might not cry now, but I do know how you feel at least. D: Sad scene is sad.

20. *ignores the rest of the secret, because couldn't care less* CLOVERFIELD ♥

22. Jonathan Coulton can have my babies. Even if he eats them. :| LOVE HIS STUFF, I swear.

26. Ignoring your secret purely because I have nothing to say, I agree that she is gorgeous ♥

28. Is this a repeat? I've seen it before. >_> Either way, I sympathise. I regret leaving ju-jitsu, though not due to any characters per se. D:

30. Either a troll or a retard or both! But I'll be nice and feed you anyway: GTFO, those kids apparently worked harder than you to be able to draw, if you feel threatened by them- you don't just find talent lying in the street, and they deserve whatever level they worked to get to. And you apparently deserve to be a loser. *golf claps*

31. Honey, if the writers were concerned with pandering to any part of their fanbase instead of telling the story they wanted to tell/that needed to be told, they kind of suck anyway. Do we have to pull out whatever-your-fandom-is versions of the HARRY POTTER IS NOT A DEMOCRACY icons?

32. Not in your fandom, but I too ship everyone with everyone and anyone else in quite a few of mine, so I feel ya there. XD

35. Elitists suck no matter what the fandom. Just try to ignore them and do what you want to have fun, that's what it's all about ♥

44. Code Geass has some of the lulziest animation moments of any anime ever. But since I've seen you reply to people saying that no, you just hate all of the art, the entire style, etc, I have to say: some people can praise the art of that show because, surprise, some people like the art of that show. You don't. They do. I don't see the problem here.

[karate-girl.livejournal.com]

Which Pikachu episode are you talking about?

WHAT THE HELL ME

[poisontea.livejournal.com]

45. I think I am only responding to this secret so I can use this particular icon for this post. Nndurr. :B BUT NO REALLY, I AGREE WITH THE SENTIMENT, UNF UNF KAWORU.

50. What series are you talking about? I know a few that fit the qualities of little-known, ongoing manga, stalled anime... But I'm curious and might look into it myself. :3

51. That's... a retarded reason. There's probably some other reason, even just that they don't feel like it, but they don't want to hurt your feelings- still, giving that as an excuse instead is... some level of really, really dumb XD;

SUMOMO MO, MOMO MO ♪

53. HAHAHAHA SAME I was so psyched when I found out he was doing Death the Kid in the Soul Eater anime, though. It's impossible to take Kid seriously anyway, and Mamoru is absolutely perfect for him. :'D

58. *hugs*


73. ... Oh god now you've got me identifying Mukuro with Yeerks and it is the most beautiful thing ever. I don't think the kink is fucked up, either- it's a fictional kink, so what? Mmm, a special sort of possession-domination~

I just think I love you because of the Animorphs secret. Unf, do want, need to reread lots =O



not!secret 1. G-god, I lol'd at the bunny convo, sorry. >: Other than that, ugh. I've heard Speshul things about the shipping wars in the Avatar fandom, and I'm sorry people are such Retards On The Internet.

toobig!secret 3. OH MY GOD THAT EPISODE. D:

D:



The song is amazing though. It's still stuck in my head. :> "Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, merry merry king of the bush is he! Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra!

Gay your life must be..." wait that's kinda creepy still too augh.

58 OP~

[fencer-x.livejournal.com]

29) wtf? It's gotta be one of the best fandoms I've ever been in--years after canon ended it's still going strong, great fic writers, active meta going on. Or are you just angry there's a nice fandom like it existing when yours is overrun with wank?

...Nice pic though :D ♥

53) I can't take him seriously either, but not because of Tamaki or anything. It's because no matter who he plays, I always can only see him shoving (http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/mamoblog/imgs/4/1/41cb9ca9.jpg) crap (http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/mamoblog/imgs/b/3/b31af174.jpg) into his (http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/mamoblog/imgs/1/7/17783935.jpg) mouth (http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/mamoblog/imgs/5/7/5718137a.jpg), or hear him belting out the opening to Lion King. Also, the awesomeness of his towelhead, because the first time I saw him was TeniMyu before he did those seiyuu roles. He's so awesome ♥ (http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/mamoblog/imgs/a/5/a5d8cbe9.jpg)

21. HIS VOICE IS OK (ESPECIALLY GREAT IN THE SECOND ONE)

From Wikipedia:
For this movie [High School Musical 2], Efron did all of his own singing, whereas in the first High School Musical, his singing was blended with singer Drew Seeley's voice.

38, 67, 71.

38. Holy crow, it's like I wrote this one.

67. It saddens me when I see mispelled secrets.

71. I will dream your impossible dream with you. Because that would be the most kick-ass thing since sliced Samuel Jackson.

Re: 38

[(Anonymous)]

You, me and 38 OP must all know the same guy. He's had so many broken engagements and broken LTRs that it's actually possible...LOL

6, 15, 32, 40

[lanjelin.livejournal.com]

6: You believe fandom would think you were stuck-up, a prude, and no fun to be with if they found out you were... er, stuck-up, a prude and no fun to be with? At least there's nothing wrong with your sense of logic, I suppose.

15: I'm deathly scared of zombies in any form, so naturally I watch every film about them obsessively. Due to my fear, I've never been able to judge the actual merits of the films themselves...

32: Hehe, you ship Gogo? As a man? A woman? (Should I even ask...?) XD

Seriously, I don't know why people who don't ship scream bloody murder as soon as a hint of potential romance is suggested. (I played it when it was new, BTW, so I suppose I'm old-school? But I detest that sort of labels. What does it matter when you played it? It's still the same game.)

There are so many possibilities for shippign in that game, too... I'm partial to Setzer/anyone, myself!

40: Well, there goes all the religious people of the world, I suppose...

But if you want a sense of wonder and mystery in your life, you could always take up advanced physics. Truth can indeed be stranger than fiction (and even more wonderful).

OP for 32

[(Anonymous)]

Going by the fan theory that Gogo is really Daryl. :D

[karel]

6. Well, considering that about 75% of fandom is speculation, what-if's, and deviations from canon? I'd say you're kinda right :\

30. I'll admit, sometimes I feel pretty envious... Especially when I was told my whole life that I had talent (that whole "everyone is a special snowflake!" shit) only to find out that... I don't.

44. Clamp's art is so far removed from the human form right now that I think they should stop calling their characters human. Sure, most anime is ridiculous anyway -- huge eyes and all -- but Clamp has taken it to a new extreme of crazy facials and super!stretched out bodies. Not to mention that the main from that show HAS NO PENIS. And I used to LOVE Clamp's art...

64. On a couple of mine I did that just to throw people lol

69. Uhhh what. How will this make you popular askjagk become a good writer/artist/iconist and that's what's gonna make you popular. Be outgoing, too -- it helps.

Re: 44

[wishmasterfuuma.livejournal.com]

Mick Nekoi is drawing instead of Mokona Apapa, right now, I'm pretty sure.

I think Mokona has arthritis(sp?), which is why she's doing less. But in Nekoi's defense, she's the one who did Wish, which is also beautiful (Super wispy, I love it when lines don't come to a point and just float off into neverland~).

I do agree, though, that they need to shift back to their older style. I liked the broad shoulders and overall shape better. The recent style is too unreal for me. (Japanese people are just not that tall. And Yuuko's breasts? Wtf?)

Haha, Lulu's lack of male anatomy is a source of constant hilarity~
