1. That's probably because they series you're watching has a target age of like 12-15. There have been a lot of series inwhich older protagonists have saved the world; so I wish you luck on finding one you can relate to.^^

8. Hell yes. XD

1.) Not old enough to drive, not old enough to vote, not old enough to legally purchase handguns, not old enough to drink, not old enough to purchase a pack of smokes, not old enough for the draft boards... I can't take 15-year-old HEROES seriously either.

11.) I hate the whole "Video games make you violent" argument. It's like 'What? You people lived in a violence-free happy fun utopia before the invention of the video game?" I swear these people don't have a firm grip on reality or they're just looking for others to blame for their own problems.

1. Not that you aren't right, but I do know that in the old days, the age of maturity was like 13-14 (my grandparents MARRIED at that age) so it doesn't really surprise me to see that in fantasy stories and whatnot. But. Yeah. NOW? You'd have to be 30 to save the world or something. *dies*

2. I do too. I remember going OMGCUTE at them and for the time? They were adorable -and- well done. And the background details. Just. Wow.

9. I have my real friends among my fandom friends. I'm happy. ♥

4. Me too!
7. ....XD; Wow. But that would be interesting!

[10] In Negima!?, there is a girl named Yotsuba Satsuki. She is a heavier character but is far from being comic relief. In the manga she is one of the most well-respected students of the entire Mahora Academy. ♥

If you commit some obscenely violent act because you saw it done on TV or in a video game, you're already messed in the head. It's not the game's fault you're a nutcase.

1. Well, depending on when the game is supposed to be set having young heroes isn't entirely unlikely. I guess it's also used to appeal to younger gamers. I know when I was a kid I liked having characters closer to my own age that I could relate to.

4. Slash? Those were my notes. In my World Civ and World Religion classes that's all I had for notes. I miss college.

5. You can't fit anything on it as far as fic goes.

6. OMG, yes. I used to love SMB when I was younger and I loved those things. They're so freakin' adorable. I want to squish it.

7. KHIII: Deliverance.

9. A lot of my real friends I met through fandom, does that count? I mean, these are people I hang out with on the weekends and such and actually know in person. And well, my best friend is basically my fandom counterpart and I've known her since we first started school ... some 17 or so years ago.

11. Yeah, I know I played GTA and decided that I wanted to pick up some hookers and then beat the crap out of them, and steal little old ladies' cars. People just don't want to admit that some people are just plain crazy.

4. My school notes are filled with stick-figures, diagrams of rp scenes, and a whole lot of weaponry sketches. :D

7. XDD

11. The scary thing about violent video games for me is watching 5/6 years old children playing them.

#3 ~ I second this one. Real-life religion is too boring and plain. D:

#3. Agreed. Case in point; Final Fantasy X.

MAY YEVON BE WITH YOU. D8
