116- I don't ship it, but I was truly touched by how classy and kind they were to one another. Federer is just the epitome of grace, and Nadal was so respectful. Considering that the match was so close, and they were probably only separated by a couple of points overall, the respect between them was certainly appropriate, and it was good to see them give it.

[antler-action.livejournal.com]

123. Honestly? You could say the exact same thing about any pastime. Believe it or not, people can think about the same thing seriously and superficially-- and even if fandom is just about squeeing for any one particular person, that's no indication that they don't spend any time thinking deep thoughts. And, on another note, you're coming off kind of patronizing. I guarantee you there's something you do just for fun that someone else takes very seriously, and I doubt you'd want them to tell you how revolted they are by your attitude.

147. ZARDOZ

148. And you! What, are you supposed to be from the future or something?

164. Go for it! If you're really worried, just find someone you know will be brutally honest and force them to go over it for you. :D

Better watch where you point that opinion. People might end up butthurt.

YOU'RE BURSTING THEIR MINDLESS BUTTSEX-LOVING BUBBLE! HOW DARE YOU!!!

Re: 123

[(Anonymous)]

lol A+

but it appears people are already butthurt

[rayerai.livejournal.com]

n!s 2: Oooohh.

Although I would argue that that is a secret.

[longlongwaytogo.livejournal.com]

As always, if anyone wants to rustle up a fandom, the comm heard_of_it is there for you to post conversion posts (to try and get new people interested) or to ask if anyone still likes it, etc etc. Or just to talk.

117

[(Anonymous)]

Fact: tl;dr

[catspaws.livejournal.com]

171:
FUCK YES! THE FUCKING BOSS!

See him with the E-street band, it will be amazing. It was for me.

123

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe nobody wants to discuss the importance of story-telling with you because you're sort of an asshole.

Re: 123

[(Anonymous)]

I loled. Well done.

[scootermcgaffin.livejournal.com]

One of these days, I will not be so late.

121. Contrary to popular belief, Nico is not a slut.

132. I know, I know, spoilers were warned for. I know it's my own fault. I do know that. Still. :(

Re: 121

[immortality.livejournal.com]

Amen.

111 OP

[(Anonymous)]

It is. Stick to anime, Koharu. :(

169; 173

[anbyrobanby.livejournal.com]

169: I could actually get behind that ship.

173: That one, too.

133

[smilingbomb.livejournal.com]

WTF? Who would say something like that? Sandaman, V for Vendetta, and Watchmen are in a completely different category than . . . . *pause for the disgusted sneer* Twilight.

D<

#113, #134 and #151

[crystaldiver.livejournal.com]

113. I'm certainly better at Dance Dance Revolution than Guitar Hero, that's for damn sure. And work out mode is the bestest!

134. Fuck, now I wish this had a fandom, too.

151. Exactly; it could not have been summed up much better than that. In the second game, it felt as if it was made even worse because she was at least conscious for that one, but still her potential went untapped. Hasn't stopped me from finding some fic (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3440919/1/) that's reasonable, however. It's a sad day when fans can do a better job at character development than game writers.

109, 117, 128, 147, 172, N!S 1

[singing-sparrow.livejournal.com]

109. See, here's my question: if he can attract and possibly convert even lesbians with his beauty, is it possible for US to attract/convert him?
117. Chan 4 realz, tho. We're driving away all the normal people with our ship/companion!wars- quit it, people!
128. It pisses me off so much when they decide to change/dumb down American titles from the British versions. Unfortunately, often times, I think they're right. :(
147. Wow to that outfit. Just wow.
172. Awww... see, I agree with you on the count that he's adorable, handsome and mmm-mmm good, but now we're giving the Old!Who people fodder to hate us.
N!S 1: Ooh, is that 'Flesh & The Devil'? Damn, I really need to see that!

Re: 172

[meagenimage.livejournal.com]

Y'know what? *Screw* the Old!Who people. Screw what they think of you. Screw them hating you or not. They don't have any right to tell you what to like or not like in the show. If they think the show is OMGRUINED! because some people are attracted to the main actor, then that's their own problem.

109

[noforcenosound.livejournal.com]

It's ok. If it makes you feel any better, I'm completely straight but would totally have hot lesbian sex with bald!Natalie Portman as Evie from V for Vendetta.

144

[the-wykydtron.livejournal.com]

I love the video, and I love the song, but I'm not familiar with the worm and I don't get the reference. This would bother me, except that I pretend it is a reference to Dune. DON'T ASK ME HOW - IT JUST WORKS IN MY BRAIN.

Re: 144

[mishamcbride.livejournal.com]

It *is* a Dune reference. XD

132

[colorpandora.livejournal.com]

Doesn't everyone? :D

Seriously, though, the early Japanese fanart has spoiled me and I can't see her as anything but male, even knowing the truth. I hope this will change when I actually play the game, because I'll bet she's an awesome girl.

On the other hand, I've still got my fingers crossed for male!Naoto doujinshi >_>

133

[lenin.livejournal.com]

oh god, agreed >:

[likekind.livejournal.com]

123: maybe you're not hanging around the right bits of fandom - most of the fandoms i frequent have very interesting meta discussions in some communities, and very pornographic discussions in other communities. look around some more and you will find people who want to discuss ideas like the importance of story-telling with you, i assure you. some proof that there are intelligent people in fandom who are interested in things more important than which character is hottest is (some of) the discussions about the validity of fandom that were sparked after the great lj deletathon.

that being said, you're coming at this from the wrong angle. you should probably keep in mind that no, fandom isn't about discussing the ideas you said in your comment (correct me if i'm wrong - did i miss that memo?). for most people, fandom is a fun hobby that lets them relax, and, as someone above me said, you could say that any pastime or hobby is meaningless and distracting. fandom only provides the possibility for people to come together and discuss issues, not the guarantee. some people get too into it, true - that's a different issue though. and some people (like you apparently) try to get something more out of it. that's awesome, i feel the same way. but you shouldn't begrudge others just because all they want to do is spend a few hours relaxing reading fic or 'squeeing' over a hot guy in a tv show they like with their friends. it almost seems like you've just realised that the reasons you were justifying staying in fandom weren't working for you, and you're angry with yourself. i hope you're able to come around and enjoy the frivolous and serious aspects of fandom (and everything in life), and find the balance that suits you.

ps: you sound like my sister, lol. the only reason i don't think you're her is that your graphic skills are too good. also, my sister has a sense of humour about these things ;)

117, 172

[femaelstrom27.livejournal.com]

117: HELL TO THE FUCKING YES. I swear it makes me want to quit fandom sometimes. I mean, for the record, I do ship Rose/Doctor, but I ABSOLUTELY ADORE Rose and Martha (and Donna!) completely equally, and for different reasons.

Sometimes I want to cry and ask why we can't all just get along.

172: You are made of fail, plz lurk moar. People like you poison the show for me. Oh, never mind the adventure, the plot, the gripping storylines (ok, depends on the episode) -- you just want TEH PRETTEH. Makes me sick.

Re: 117, 172

[beandelphiki.livejournal.com]

It makes you sick? Really? *blink* Wow, god forbid someone have different reasons for enjoying something.

I mean, yeah, if that's all 172's OP is getting out of Who, I think that's a bit of a waste. But I think it's going a bit far to call it sick.

IT'S ONLY A TEE VEE SHOW.

[mia-chatterjee.livejournal.com]

109. You people and your quaint little categories.

123. "I used to see fandoms as a way for people of diverse backgrounds to discuss real issues."

You're kidding, right?

108, 116

[lorilann.livejournal.com]

108. Total Drama Island
116. Rafael Nadal & Roger Federer

[(Anonymous)]

114. Yeah, pretty much. But it's still fun.

123. It seems like you've just now gotten the point. Yeah, it's fun to do the second thing you were talking about, but sometimes people just need light escapist fluffy bullshit. If everything were as SRS BSNS as the real world it'd suck pretty bad and totally not be fun at all, you know?

(Honestly, though, almost all my intense srs bsns discussions about fandom are conducted IRL and just never show up online, so.)

160. lol wut

"muggle," seriously?

164. This is the same reason I'll probably never finish my novel :/

166. Word. I will forever have a soft spot for the first druid I played, even though she'll likely never see play again.

172. WTF are you smoking?

Not!Secret 2. LOL A+

also, this should be a secret

160

[omorka.livejournal.com]

Yeah, totally. The correct word is "mundane;" don't ppl realize that? ;-)

[xenoglossy]

112. Huh, I didn't know such a thing existed. Any reccommendations?

120. ... wow, I thought I was the only one who liked the anime but thought the manga was kind of... eh. I mean, I didn't/don't hate it or anything, but I didn't feel like it was so amazingly better than the anime as the fans always say.

/unpopular opinion time

136. But would you marry them first? Something tells me that they might not be up for it otherwise.

143. Well, uh, good luck not stabbing your SO?

150. I don't think they're really meant to be older brother figures. If they were, that'd make the whole thing vaguely incestuous.

112

[friendshipbeam.livejournal.com]

Well, I liked Go! Magical Boy, The Garden Society Kykuit and When I Rule the World. There are tons at the site featured, I'm sure you can find something you like.

[scratchmist.livejournal.com]

Hear hear.
