153. I love you XD

105, 128, 144, 148

[(Anonymous)]

105. I disagree about McKay not being interesting or funny - I love him, personally. But I do agree 110% about not being able to stand McShep. People, they're friends. Not lovers. It ain't rocket science. Not that I'm saying "THERE MUST BE A CANON ATTRACTION FOR IT TO BE A LEGITIMATE SHIP," but McSheppers who act like it's canon or that people who don't ship it are blasphemers? Are hilarious.

128. Blah blah blah I'm better than you because I'm married blah blah blah. Get off your high horse before you fall down and paralyze yourself.

144. Exact opposite for me! I'm hopelessly devoted to my pairings, and people who "multi-ship" are incomprehensible to me.

148. Too bad for you. You've missed out on some good secrets.

Re: 105

[darsynia.livejournal.com]

I feel for you (not sarcasm) with the not standing McShep. It's gotta be tough to love the characters and to enjoy the amazing canon friendship they have but not see it as romantic, because even the genfic friendship pieces a lot of people write of those two is, a lot of times, pre-slash in disguise.

I have always maintained that part of why I love the pairing so much is because I love the strict canon of their friendship. Sure, I indulge in tinhatting every so often, because I have a lot of backup, and it's fun to extrapolate, but at the heart of the show, that friendship is just amazing, and I'm so, so grateful it's there in its purest form. It's not often that someone who ships something can say that if you strip away any idea of subtext, the truth of the characters' platonic love will still shine through.

109 - Don't really read House secrets as I don't care, but god, can we at least get a new picture instead of the same screen shot over and over again. /bitchiness.

135 - Em, do any Americans really talk like that? Unless they watch a lot of British tv shows, I always thought they were more UK slang words. Least that's the impression I get when my American friends like to repeat the word bloody over and over again when I say it. And I don't think any have ever used the word mate...

135

[jaclynhyde.livejournal.com]

I think that's what the secret is saying--that when non-Americans write fanfic for American media, they incorrectly use their own slang. Because Americans never do that for non-American media.

164

[rymes.livejournal.com]

IIFC, there was a cheat that let you put objects wherever in 1&2, so that tiles didn't count. That's what I used, obsessively. It's kind of annoying when things aren't... strait...

[jaclynhyde.livejournal.com]

103. Everyone's gay for Cuddy.
107. He doesn't have a canon (a)sexuality. And what does that have to do with kiddy personalities? And where's the canon gay? I'm a slasher myself, but it's not canon.
114. It's all about the Schumann/Brahms/Clara, man.
122. Heeeee.
127. This is why we need to obsessively tag posts with fandoms! [twitch]
135. Generalize much? I've seen about the same number of Americans fucking up non-American slang (see: Harry Potter fandom) than the other way around (a few more Americans, actually, but I read a lot of British fandoms).
144. I've seen it referring to the only ship you'll stick those characters in, or just as shorthand for I LOVE THIS PAIRING. If a person isn't in a lot of fandoms, though, I can see having only one couple you actively ship.
153. XDDDD That is wonderful.
163. ...just tell them you're not interested?
164. I barely play the Sims and I'm excited.
Not!Secret 1: And...?
Not!Secret 2: Because people don't have to like canon ships.

Re: 119

[cdaae.livejournal.com]

That icon rules.

162.

[cleverthylacine]

Uh really? Cause I'm sure it exists. Not my cuppa (see icon) but I'm sure it's out there.

164

[(Anonymous)]

Lol XD

135

[darkdork13.livejournal.com]

AH-HAHAHAHA!!

I call troll. Or else blindness.

I can understand being annoyed about people putting their own country's slang into characters' mouths, but damn, you think American fanbrats don't do that to all characters from any other country ever?

[(Anonymous)]

108. That's great!

118. good lord no

126. I think I'm a bit like you, but I'm interested in yuri sometimes.

164. TWO-TILE TELEVISION fuuuuuuuuck

102, 107, 122, 144, N!S2

[(Anonymous)]

102. So much more attractive when he's all dorked up anyway. ♥

107. ILU.

122. LOL this is glorious. Not laughing at you, laughing at Twilight.

144. I don't get it either. I usually say OTP for something I ship harder than my usual ships. XD

N!S 2: Oh, IDK, because they have the right to support things they like? *not an avatar fan but seriously, the "you can't ship this because THIS is canon" argument is ridiculous*

[xxlithiumflower.livejournal.com]

101. I don't really do the fandom thing for Gankutsuou, but you're not alone in totally adoring it! Actually I've been meaning to rewatch it lately, but I keep getting talked out of it...

105, 135

[allyndra.livejournal.com]

105. I don't have any problem with you disliking the character of Rodney McKay or the McShep pairing, but I think you're hugely wrong about Rodney being a not-funny, not-handsome, not-interesting Mary Sue. It is possible for you to not be attracted to him or interested in him without everyone else being wrong wrong wrong. (I get that the pairing is so prevalent that it might bug someone who dislikes it, but accept that these things are a matter of your opinion and not absolutes.)

135. It would be going too far to say I "can't stand it," but seeing American characters speaking in Britishisms jars me right out of a story. I find myself wanting to offer my services to Americanize fics. Often they're excellent, but I find it so distancing when an American character uses "yeah?" as a tag question or puts the kettle on.

But then I think of all the crappy Harry Potter fic I've read by Americans, and a lot of it made no effort at all. So you can't really say "We try to get your slang right," about everyone. Or even most authors.

Re: 105, 135

[kuromitsu.livejournal.com]

Er. What do Americans call kettles, then? O_o

By the way, I think everything is okay in narration. Dialogue... (or internal dialogue) that's different. (But then, I'm ESL so I'm too happy if I can catch an Americanism/Britishism to be bothered by it. Then again, almost all of my fandoms are anime where these are not really important.)

162

[scarletumbrella.livejournal.com]

162 - ME TOO. I think it does exist though... Try sam_ruby

1

[stopping.livejournal.com]

Haven't read anything else, but good lord, I feel ya. I love Ganku so much. >: I'M HERE FOR YA, ANON?!

135

[daluci.livejournal.com]

... I say oi. A-and bloody, too. Am I not American?

Re: 135

[(Anonymous)]

Clearly not. Or you've just adopted British slang for whatever reason. Step away from BBC America.

[bobdelilah.livejournal.com]

101. I'LL FANGIRL WITH YOU WHOEVER YOU ARE.

Seriously, it is one of the best anime out there in terms of storytelling and visuals and character developement. That's probably why no one talks about it.

164. THIS IS NOW THE REASON I AM BUYING THAT. SERIOUSLY.

101

[kuromitsu.livejournal.com]

I disagree about the character development and storytelling part... :/ That huge gaping hole in the Count's characterization after Franz's death was incredibly irritating (though apparently doesn't bother anyone else) and after that episode the storytelling failed faster than one can say Monte Cristo. It somehow get back to its feet later, but... eh.

Nevertheless, it's a great anime, and I'm with the OP that no anime has ever affected me the same way as this one did. (It broke my heart, plain and simple.)

164

[kezaer.livejournal.com]

That bothers the crap out of me, dammit! I'm glad to know they're fixing it XD

[(Anonymous)]

133. That... would actually be the hottest thing ever. ♥
135. -- I don't actually say 'mate' at all, despite having a lot of friends that use it. xD; dfkdhf fuck, I've been failing as a British person for so long?
163. No, I'm not either. 'sup.
164. iawts; I ended up placing loveseats in front of the two-tile TVs then a three-seat sofa at right angles to it because that was just so. annoying.

164

[verusmayaii]

YOU AND ME BOTH! ;~; I almost cried tears of joy.

[boosette.livejournal.com]

135. Unless it is the context of "oy vey" in which case it is probably someone's eastern european Jewish grandfather.

161. This chart is awesome.

164. LKFWOERFA;SDFHLTWFSDFJA That's it, time to upgrade computers. I need SIMS3.

[kuromitsu.livejournal.com]

I see "oy vey" quite often and I'm an Eastern European Catholic (sort of) Swabian.

103

[lovedforaday.livejournal.com]

103 - My mom is old enough to be her mom. :/

[pimmy.livejournal.com]

126. i can get ya! i mean, i do like/dont mind a lot of the things you say you don't have interest in, but at the same time it's annoying when it seems like everyone else is SO MUCH MORE interested then i ever am!

[cyclicality.livejournal.com]

113. HA. haha. ha.
I'm sorry for liking the one of the strongest and most complex characters in that entire series. :|
If you like Shirley so much, why don't you act like her and not resort to bashing other characters and comparing them to shit?


164. WORD OMG YAAAAY. I'm excited too. ♥

126

[(Anonymous)]

So everyone in fandom *isn't* decently good looking. Y HALO THAR, ELITIST! Full of yourself much?

Re: 126

[(Anonymous)]

That isn't what I am saying. I was saying why do i have ALL of those qualities. Don't signal shit out and see what you want to see to make your argument sound. How Elitist of you.

READ MUCH?
