102. "Normal", imho, is overrated. I don't want to pretend to be normal when I'm around non-fandom, non-geeky people. When I found fandom and fic and anime and manga and all of those things, I felt like they really completed me, and I could talk about them with people who understood what I was saying and didn't immediately shut me down for liking non-mainstream stuff. I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't want to go back to life interacting with the world before fandom.

105. Yeah... by the time the movie was over, I half-expected the Joker to start cracking Brokeback Mountain jokes.

::runs for her life::

123. Tell me more? Please? Are you finding work in localization? Do you basically have to be living in California to get any? What's the work like? What's the pay like? Inundate this post/my journal with anonymous posts, please? Please??

159. Oh, I know that one too - it was done for the PS1, by the same people who did Landstalker, I want to say. Where the warrior has to go into people's dreams and root out teh evil? Y/N?

Re: CII

[cdaae.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Fuck normality. And yay for Roman numerals.

122 and 147

[lovedforaday.livejournal.com]

122. Um, hate to tell you, the Weasleys are not that popular outside of the OBHWF part of fandom. Maybe you should start kicking it with Slytherfen, they hate all things Gryffindor (except Harry, Hermione and Lupin).

147. LOL at you whining about people not liking your OCs for reasons you're probably only assuming why they do.

122 OP

[(Anonymous)]

It's not so much that I expect the Weasleys to be a perfect family, because I don't. I just don't understand all of these "gee, I wish I was a Weasley" secrets. Ron doesn't enjoy being a part of such a big family, even though he loves all of his siblings. It's not a matter of them not loving each other.

But people glorify it to the point of forgetting its faults. In my opinion the twins pretty much run the family, and the force of their personalities on their younger siblings is really significant. Ron and Ginny both treat Percy badly mostly because of the twins, and the approval of the twins is far more important to them than the approval of their parents or anyone else in the family.

Even though Percy shows more concern toward both Ron and Ginny in terms of their safety and wellbeing than the twins, he gets treated like an outsider and while he did have a part in his estrangement from the family as someone else pointed out, there should never be a point in which a child feels like they aren't a part of their family. He seems to feel that from long before actually leaving. Molly is practically the only one who really treats him well. That is one of the big reasons that I think it's misplaced for people to glorify the Weasleys and think they're perfect, which is sadly very common.

Percy doesn't even tell his brothers when he has a girlfriend because he knows how "hilarious" they'll find it that someone "like him" actually got a girlfriend. Because what it comes down to is that the Weasleys are just like the Black family in insisting that they all fit a certain profile. While Percy isn't formally disowned at all, he does have to practically grovel to them to be finally accepted again. It isn't like he joined the Death Eaters, all he did was mistake his government for being trustworthy.

Personally I think it's absurd that people could want to be a part of a family that has such a negative attitude about "nerds" like Percy. Particularly since the majority of people involved enough in fandom to post in a place like fandom_secrets are hardly the ones that the twins & co would be treating nicely. I think most of us would end up being the Percy of that family dynamic, and no, I don't think that's a sign of a balanced or healthy family.

Re: 122 OP

[lovedforaday.livejournal.com]

Didn't you see that a good number of people agree with you. You are not saying anything that no one has read before, or anything that will change anyone's mind.

I swear people take the Weasleys teasing and loudness so seriously. And to think a lot of these very people are the first to defend Snape and his bullying ass and tout the Malfoys as the one ideal family in the HP books.

[nuclearpez.livejournal.com]

102. It's not fandom for me as much as I don't like small-talk and hate phones =X.

144. ... IDK about the secret but the character's body is really upsetting and uncomfortable to my eyes O_O;

169. She didn't mean it like that... she simply meant that she is happily married and isn't sexually curious is all. I think you're getting offended to something that isn't meant to be understood that way.

RE: 169

[coin-jar.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what I thought, too. Like TV Guide was asking if she was living through her characters vicariously or something.

150

[lavaliere]

a;lkdsgh'alksgh'laksgha;lskdghasdg

WUT


P.S. FUCK YOU. JUST BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T MAKE ICONS LIKE EVERY OTHER PERSON OUT THERE DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE NOT PRETTY OR WELL MADE.

162

[lovedforaday.livejournal.com]

I fully support any secret that calls out Rose and the Doctuh as the selfish idiots that they were in that stupid scene. Of course, there will be Rosefen who will defend her, and every single one of her fucked up, self-centered actions.

138

[onelittlesleep.livejournal.com]

ahahaha, sigh. That is delightful!

Thank you.

[heron-advocate.livejournal.com]

158. Comparing Zuko/Katara to KakaIru? Ouch. I thought we had a little more canon than that. I mean, they might not have romantic inclinations toward each other in canon, but at least they, y'know...interact with each other. And have some moments together. And pretty has nothing to do with why I (personally) ship Zutara...not that it hurts.

141, 158

[(Anonymous)]

Anon-ing cuz I can't be bothered to log out of my RP account.

141. IAWTS. I felt really bad for her, too. God know's the poor girl deserved some bloody credit for all the stuff she did for the Fire Nation.

158. Lmfao, Zutara isn't for everyone. But the 'pretty' aspect isn't why I ship it. (Personally, I don't find Zuko attractive in the slightest, but I will agree that Katara is easy on the eyes. Straight girl, btw, in case any were curious.)

158

[fenm.livejournal.com]

Zutara isn't for everyone.

What does that even MEAN?

[libumkeiki.livejournal.com]

122- oh wow, i never actually thought about how dysfunctional they are! i've always thought of them as the perfect family, but you're right, they really are quite dysfunctional. :] thank you for opening my eyes.

135- WOULD EVERYONE JUST GET OVER TWILIGHT ALREADY. PLEASE. HATERS, LOVERS, KEEP IT TO YOURSELVES.

142

[kathkin.livejournal.com]

142. I just have to say... they haven't all been female. And given that some are definitely paired up with each other rather than him, and one is is granddaughter, I highly doubt they were all lusting after him. Oh, and some of them were there accidentally.

[farawaylaughter.livejournal.com]

Holy Who secrets, Batman!

116. Spoiler, but it didn't end well.
121. You speak the truth, but I still like him and always have. I think it's because he's such a flawed hero. Besides, he isn't that much different between the classic and new series when you think about it. Regardless of the personalities he's had over the years, the underlying arrogance, egocentricity, and air of superiority has always been there. That's basically how all Time Lords are, if you remember. He's always been cold to varying degrees to some of his companions at times depending on the incarnation you're talking about. And besides, of the new companions, Martha got the better deal in the end.
142. HA HA HA HA!
145. Hey, can I borrow that icon? *bats eyes*
166. Epic.

[manicprophet.livejournal.com]

All the Joker secrets make me laugh because of their speshulness.

141. I see what you did there.

142. Not all of the companions have necessarily been "normal" people, though. Also, am I the only one who wouldn't go with him? Seriously.

151, 160

[pwnmastersaurus.livejournal.com]

151) Haha really? Nicholson makes me crack the fuck up. Heath freaks me out waaaay more than he ever did.

160) LOL WUT

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

102. Same here, really. It's depressing.

108. He had damn well at least talk to the camera or something. A serious business Deadpool is a Deadpool not worth having.

129. What is that picture from? I must have it.

147. But gay is better. I mean, why would they call it 'gay' if it wasn't good?

re: 129

[(Anonymous)]

It's from the August issue of Esquire.

Lighten up, Francis. EVERY family in the HP series is dysfunctional.

[fenm.livejournal.com]

Yes, but the poster's point is that some people treat the Weasleys like they're NOT.

[elfinpiper.livejournal.com]

102. It takes a life time of practice to find small talk even remotely interestin

108. DEADPOOL LOVE

110. ftw!!

135

[(Anonymous)]

You're kidding me, right? I have to wade through an entire book of horrible purple prose on sparkly vampires and obvious self-inserts just so I can say I wouldn't have liked it in the first place and I wish I could unread this book and plz pass the brain bleach imprinting on an infant?

I've read parts of it. I wouldn't be able to get through more than 20 pages before throwing it away in disgust.

[rmarques.livejournal.com]

168- I love that place too. So much Epic Lulz, and good srs busnz, and lack of wank, even when the "So, which Megaten Games have you played?" topic came up on the OOC comm. :3

Paul McCartney doesn't know how to use an ATM because he hasn't once had to handle cash himself since The Beatles hit it big.

Also, "ATM machine" is redundant. See that M in ATM there? That stands for machine. So stop saying that, you look like a moron. (Same thing goes for PIN number.)

[callmejude.livejournal.com]

142. A lot of sci-fi/fantasy does that. I know people in their twenties still waiting for their Hogwarts letter, but you're a little late to join that mob. And what about those who sit and wait for Peter Pan to come to their window at night? Or those who knock at the back of every antique wardrobe they come across, just to be sure it's not a gateway to Narnia? I agree that it's just a show/movie/book/etc., but you don't really get it - people like having that hope. It's not delusional, it's not pathetic, it's not a severe psychological problem. It's just people having their fun with a fantasy to help them get through their more boring days.

[cdaae.livejournal.com]

IAWTC.

[pavonine.livejournal.com]

102. It'sa me and me and me and me and me and me and me and me, Mario!

104. "SWAN SONG" GEDDIT 'CAUSE IT'S RELATED TO ONE'S DEATH SORT-OF AND BELLA SWAN AND GEDDIT

111. Sort-of agree, but only with the Twilight part. I've no knowledge of (the?) Watchmen apart from the TDK trailer. But as for Twilight... BRING ON THE STONY ACTING AND SPARKLES!!!

114. Oh, honey, Xandir's the gayest of the gays. And we love him for it, oh yes we do.

117. ... Google it. It seriously won't kill you.

120. WICKED, YES.

123. You could've been a lawyer.

127. MAGIC ALBINO COSTUME SEX.

129. And just reaffirmed mine. Oh Lordy...

135. IAWTS, and I really don't like Twilight. But I must finish it, so I can properly say I dislike it for my own reasons.

138.

148. And I thought I was the only one who felt that slash was not exactly the same as yaoi. Hm. You've a point.

169. *pouts* Thirteen-hate is still going on? Dammit. I like her.

108, 117, 122, 127, 142, 146, 158, 162

[fenm.livejournal.com]

Damn, lots of secrets to reply to today. Whee!

108: Totally. They could have him (among other things) make fun of the credits (opening and/or closing). It'd be like the MST movie ("'Puppet Wrangler'? There weren't any puppets in this movie!"). Oh, oh! They could have him sneaking around, then suddenly look out towards the audience and say: "Why do I get the feeling I'm being watched...?" Yeah, ok, it's cliche, but...

117: Why? It's a lot of fun! (yes, I'm female, so I know whereof I speak).

122: Personally, I still remember Molly saying one of her kids, "Why can't you be like your brother?" Because he's NOT his fucking brother, you stupid woman. One little thing, though: They disowned Percy becasue he was telling them to abandon Harry, which is a little different than just "siding with the government".

127: I'll take the first two, you can keep Dr. Venture (sorry).

139: Yeah, Histeria gets overshadowed by Animaniacs and Tiny Toons. And Freakazoid. And...
Let's face it, the WB was on a roll with those 'toons.

142: "All of his companions have been normal people, right?"
No. And anyone "lured" by the Doctor need to learn the difference between fantasy and reality.

146: Hummina, hummina, hummina...

158: I was a Zutaran until the end of season two. Between the events in that final episode and Mai coming back into Zuko's life, I knew it was never happening. But after "Southern Raiders" and the Finale, I love them as BFF.

162: Yeah, no kidding! Let's run toward each other out in the open, during a Dalek attack. Brilliant plan, geniuses. Though I don't blame the character as much as I blame the wanker writing them...

Re: 108, 117, 122, 127, 142, 146, 158, 162

[malik-chan.livejournal.com]

The fact that you confused THE MONARCH with Dr. VENTURE just saddens me.

[vega-ofthe-lyre.livejournal.com]

108. OMG YES. I so agree. I reallyyyy hope they get the pure INSANITY of the character right--here's hoping!

111, 163

[caveat-lect0r.livejournal.com]

111. Pompous poster is pompous.

163. That was one of my first fandoms, frreals. I still have a lot of nostalgia for it.
