148. Finding a woman sexually appealing in fishnets != bad feminist.

N!F2: I'm never sure what to say to these kind of secrets. "You're a horrible person, congratulations"?

119. Well, I thinkt eh problem isn't an overgeneralization, but a misinterpretation and a flawed value judgement. A Sue/Stu is an idealized self-insert. It's someone taking themselves and putting them in a story, only changing it so they're really awesome or dramatic or something. But Sue has become shorthand for any idealized cahracter who is more awesome than the average person and doesn't have some kind of ginormous flaw for it (or sometimes, evne those who do). True sues--self-inserts that serve no function except to gratify the writer or reader, are bad. They often have the features of other stuff that gets called a sue, and those can be bad, but they can also be good. I mean, for crying out loud, fucking Gilgamesh is a Sue by many people's contemporary definition.

The thing here is that the Doctor used to be a bit of a self-insert, but he isn't anymore. Now the companions seem to be the main point of self-insert; the Doctor is portrayed as foreign and alien and morally twisted. Would you call Cthulu a sue? Also, in terms of Mary Sues, the doctor carries himself like one, but ever since at least 4 or so we've seen what a dick he can be when he's not paying attention. The real sue in the new series, though, is Rose Tyler. She's obviously RTD self-insert. I mean, the Doctor has some Sue moments, and she has some moments that are brilliant, but if you think about the series she becomes a little distracting... especially with that ending of Journey's end, holy crap.

The human race has always had stories of strange, non-human or above human, but still anthropomorphic, beings who intervene on humanity's behalf. Doctor Who is and has always been a myth story. Which isn't for everyone, but don't go calling the Doctor a Sue unless you're going to call Gilgamesh, Hercules, and Jesus the same, am i rite?

104. It's not a terribly "japanese" fandom from what I've seen -- major wars over who tops are rare, and people don't insist on setting stories in the Japanese localization over the USA one. (Though I've never seen fic for the Euro versions, which could be facinating.)

And while all fandoms have wank, it's friendly. You might want to play the rest of the games first if you wanna play them without spoilers/fannish opinion telling you what to think first.

YES. THAT. *points*

That's what I meant.

119. I don't like this show at all, either. I couldn't even watch more than 2 minutes of it. ;P
132. THIS.
137. I didn't know 10 year olds shipped xD You learn something new everyday!
140. According to the messages above, I'm now the only person who thinks the last book was any good. *laughs* Oh well.
166. Nice. That movie gave me nightmares, though xD

Edited 2008-07-08 23:40 (UTC)

140. It started to go downhill with OoTP, HBP was craptastic, DH would have been much better without the unnecessary camping scenes and the crapilogue. I haven't read the books since DH came out, those two last books ruined HP for me.

141. Only now? That series has sucked since season three, the only ones satisfied with it are the fans of the boobage and the McShep, and that's because they couldn't care less about the ever absent plots.

Oh, I ADORE Tennant, I just hate the way his Doctor is written, and I think Eccleston was better.'

Your icon is also hilarious.

Anna Popplewell is very pretty--the potential was always there, but now that she's getting older, they're turning that into an asset for the films, imo.

Very nice photoshoot image (http://poifect.com/annapics/displayimage.php?album=random&cat=112&pos=-6090).

I personally think HBP was an improvement over OotP, because at least it didn't have Harry capslocking every half page about how nobody understood him and ellipse abuse out the yin-yang.

I know! I actually get a bit of static for liking it, due to my rural whiteness...

Yeah, I don't agree with the OP, but OoTP was the book that made me not want to go on for a while xD

132: You're certainly not alone in that.

158: Their love is so obvious. Also, omg they've made a sequal?! I love you for pointing this out to me.

NS3: Um. Yeah. They're everyone with half a braincells OTP

Two more seasons? That's yay and wah at the same time XD As long as they explain the numbers thing somehow, I'll be happy XD

He did have a purpose at first... now he's just annoying. And not very hot to boot. Fangirls are so shallow XDXD Nah, they won't kill him, he's too "popular" or whatever..

Oh heavens, people still aren't past this?

I'm a huuuuuuge fan of Aerith, but I ship Cloud + Tifa.
Why?
Because Aerith was only attracted to Cloud because of how much he resembled Zack. Tifa has much, much more history with Cloud and is seriously a better match for him.

Note that these were my beliefs loooong before Crisis Core came out.

I don't like it when FF7 fans get into dumb shipping wars between Cloud, Tifa and Aerith and completely forget that Zack ever existed. He was mentioned plenty in the original game, you know? It doesn't take a genius to realise that the SOLDIER Aerith dated, the SOLDIER whose parents in Gongaga hadn't heard from in five years, and the SOLDIER Sephiroth talks about at the North Crater were the same person.

Also Crisis Core is fucking awesome. Just thought i'd throw that out there.

114. There are lots of really moronic pairings in Naruto fandom, but that's got to be the one that I've always found the most nonsensical of the bunch.

also why is there no Gai x Kakashi love? T_T

116. ...um, you do realize that by all the normal standards for Suehood, Aeris is more of a Sue than Tifa is?

And I'm saying this as someone with a slight preference Cloud/Aeris, here.

Also, the whole dead thing wrecks the pairing more than Tifa, anyway. (Unless you're into necrophilia... in which case you've got bigger problems.)

But seriously, STFU. It's people like you who make Cloud/Aeris fans look bad.

149. I kinda understand where you're coming from, but I see the both the Lifestream and "God" (for lack of a better term) as neutral. Any "taking care of" that's done is done for the good of the system as a whole, not any individual part.

But that's just me.

163. The obnoxious little kid in me shrieks "EWWW, PUPPYSHIPPING" and runs off with his fingers in his ears. Sorry; just gut reaction to that pairing.

N!S 4. AGREED. Vince or Vin, fine. But Vinny? No.

Not!Fandom 1: ...LMFAO

INORITE?

134. My husband's 15 years older than I am. It's not particularly unsual.

Sadness.

112 - I'd watch it.

122 - FUUUUCKKK WE NEED MORE DOUJINS. Stupid sexy frogs.

You're allowed. It just means you're an idiot.

I just don't feel the feel the ~*~spark~*~ with Tennant. I watch a 10th Doctor episode and go meh. I watch a 9th Doctor episode and spazz out over the sci-fi and the acting.

It's appropriate in many, many situations.

for a moment I was like "did I miss a penny arcade strip with Doctor Whoness?"

That boy is just too beautiful.
