103. ROCK ON, MY FRIEND.

108

[ronsard.livejournal.com]

108. Apologies for possible preachy-ness, but your secret sounds sincere so I'm going to try my best.

You're not sick, and definitely not the first person to have faced this issue, but I hope you will understand someday that what you (and so many other Asian girls) do has nothing to do with wanting to be Asian at all. You are Asian, regardless of what you look like. Having spent a large part of my life growing up in Asia, I know the pressure to be pale, to look thin, to have a certain type of look... I understand it all, and in high school, yeah, I bought the whitening cream, I dyed my hair brown, I even had friends who bleached their skin. I was jealous of all the stick thin girls because my God, why are all Asian girls thin, why am I not as thin (I wore sizes 2-4, clearly a whale). And when I lived in the States and went to a predominantly-white school, sometimes, hell,I wished I were white myself, just to make things easier. It's all about the pressure.

But the thing is you have to stop giving a shit. I'm not saying it's not okay to want to look good -- but you have to know what 'good' means for you, not how it's defined by some cultural stereotype, even when that stereotype is imposed by people of that very culture. For me, it's: hey, I do look better with pale skin, but now it's more about "exfoliating more!" and "wear hats" and "don't stay out in the sun too long!" as opposed to chemical enhancement. I'm cool with my weight and my natural hair, and I think those round contacts are really creepy, make you look like geckos. On a college campus full of rich white kids, I don't feel the least bit intimidated, because I know how hard I worked to get here -- and on the Lunar New Year, guess who has to pay money to eat the food I make and see me dance in my fucking sexy traditional costume?

Things like cultural pride and identity are hard to define, and it's a personal, on-going journey for everyone, but the above? That's part of what I believe being Asian is really about. I think you'll become more comfortable with yourself as you grow more into your skin, but you've definitely got to stop thinking, "This is making me more anime/Asian/reptilian, etc." And God, get yourself a non-airbrushed picture of Utada Hikaru without her makeup immediately.

Re: 108

[mahkia.livejournal.com]

Not preachy; beautifully worded. &hearts

155

[hajhaj.livejournal.com]

EXACTLY.
Nothing made me go "Oh my god" more than that.
Church<3

Re: 155

[my2k.livejournal.com]

hehe your icon.
hey chicka bum bum!

152

[akushou.livejournal.com]

..................|D

137

[electricalsun.livejournal.com]

YES.

I don't watch anime anymore on principle because most of it is complete shit, really boring, incredibly predictable or the fans make me go blind with rage but if I could watch just one series over again from my childhood (well, early teenagerhood, I suppose), .hack//sign would be it.

FUCK EVERYONE WHO KEEPS TRYING TO MAKE ME WATCH BLEACH, DO NOT WANT.

102.

[tosshi.livejournal.com]

No. There is nothing wrong with female sexuality, imo. I think it's sort of anti-feminist to hate anything that deals with female sexuality. It may be objectified by some men, but that's a problem in their thinking. The female body is beautiful and there's nothing wrong with showing that.

Re:102

[dropsofgleam.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this. It's a sort of extension of the "wow, she's willing to show some more skin, what a STUPID WHORE, how DARES she" mentality that sometimes reigns among women, isn't it?

151.

[ajan-syetah.livejournal.com]

On the off-chance you haven't seen this yet: http://www.hulu.com/watch/16944/how-i-met-your-mother-how-it-didnt-happen#s-p3-sa-i0

:D

Re: 151.

[(Anonymous)]

:D Thanks, I did see it! (I was actually looking for a screencap of it to use in the secret, but to no avail. D:)

152

[(Anonymous)]

...you know you've been on the internet too long when...

That being said, oh my god Cid/Vincent ugh. It makes me want to stab things. I can't even explain WHY I have such an irrational hatred of this pairing, but goddammit. Maybe it wouldn't bother me so much if it weren't so inexplicably ALL OVER THE FUCKING PLACE.

Re: 152

[liltigre.livejournal.com]

I used to like it. It now makes me feel rather stabby. Mostly because Vincent ends up as a weepy limp-wristed uke and Cid is either a rapist or just so super-butch he's a characature of himself. Also, there's no escaping it. IT'S EVERYWHERE.

119, 138, what

[singing-sparrow.livejournal.com]

119.....


What the hell planet do you come from?
138. Just say no to rat tails, honey.
What- GAAHH! Scary House eyes!


Waaaaaiiiit, how do you know?

[poisontea.livejournal.com]

102. Uh, no?

Honey, stop a moment. A think. Fanservice is not necessarily bad. Feminism is one thing, not wanting to be seen as simply a vehicle for sex is definitely one thing, but then going entirely in the other direction and believing any nod to sexuality is suddenly cheapening any female- that if one shows up in a bikini or something, OH MY GOD IT'S HORRIBLE LOOK AT THIS SEXISM- ... no. Acknowledging sexuality as part of you as a person is not a bad thing. Acknowledging other people as sexual creatures is not a bad thing. I like seeing female characters in outfits like that, and I sure as hell don't believe for one moment that it makes me a bad feminist. I'm not objectifying the characters as simply being about sex or their bodies, but I don't see anything wrong with acknowledging that it is part of a character.

There would be no complaints about a male showing up simply wearing a swimsuit, or naked with his sexual organs tastefully covered. That isn't sexist or objectifying. Why, then, is it so horrible to do the same for women?

107. Ironically, my first thought looking at this was "wow, pretty secret is kind of AWESOME." XDD; So, you win?

108. Yeah... you do need to stop that. For one thing, you're only hurting yourself to appeal more to people who will only "like" you because omgAsiangirlsocute! and probably not give a damn about you as a person anyway. To the people who would actually like you... all those things would be unnecessary. Stop what you're doing, please, and be proud of who you are ♥

114. Repeat!

116. ... *relistens to the "I Love War" speech* >_>

Okay, I wouldn't hit it, but man do I love that fucker. XD

125. OH GOD I HAVE NOT SEEN THAT COMMERCIAL. What? What? *perks*

130. ... I have to say, not really related to the point of your secret, but Ed's "WTF?" face on the top right is pretty much the most perfect thing ever. XDDDD

... and the bottom is hot. Wtf.

131. God do I really hate when people make a big deal out of this crap. I'm not even gonna bother addressing all the hypocracy and stupidity of the whole deal, because it's been rehashed about a billion times. =_= Ugh, fandom.

132. Repeat.

[(Anonymous)]

Its photoshopped but comes from these two adverts:

[poisontea.livejournal.com]

134. ♥ Most beautiful secret ever. I'm happy for you, and I hope you have an amazing life. ♥

143. I don't mind people expressing their opinions, to be honest! That's not the big thing. But I do agree: what makes people look like bitchy retards is when they shove their own personal opinions at others and decide that they're the only possible "right one" out there. Dude, even if I don't like a ship or dislike a character, why would I give a fuck if someone else ships it or loves him/her? Why would I care about the reasons they do, or decide that just because I see it a different way, I'm automatically "the right one" in a situation that ultimately all comes down to interpretation and personal preference?

Sigh. To sum up: I love your secret and you're right. Rock on.

146 & 147: ... wow.

148. Nothing wrong with any of that! XD Adorable Nia is adorable. You might as well at least give the series a try, though she's not in it at first! You might like it, and then you'd end up knowing more about her. She's seriously as sweet and adorable and awesome as she looks, trufax.

150. Dude, it's... not a big deal. It wouldn't even be a big deal if you posted them. I seriously wish all the Sue-hate would DIE. When people take it seriously? Yeah, then it's a problem. But Sues and OCs just written or drawn for the fun of it, are done for the fun of the writer/artist. Period. So what? And if they post them, and even one other person gets enjoyment from reading/looking at it... so what?? It doesn't hurt a single damn person. asjfhaskljfh argh. Sorry, I just think the whole rabid hatred of everything OC/Sue is ridiculous. Power to ya, person, have fun in the series you're in to have fun! ♥

152. OH THANKS

THANKS FOR SHARING

THAT

XDDDDDD WE'VE ALL BEEN HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD I shouldn't be so amused by this but god I hate you, OP ♥

153. I think we all get it by now. And you know, bashing Meyer only helps make her even more famous, right?

156. ... That would be an amazing accomplishment, and I kind of wonder if anyone's done it already. XD

158. THERE ARE WORSE PEOPLE(?) TO WANT TO BE. Darkwiiiiiiiiing 8DDDDD

too big: ♥ I love fandoms like that. One of the fandoms I'm in (tiny as it is) is kinda like that! The other one... apparently mostly pretends to be, but there was a lot of hidden, stupid hate that came out in the anon meme. Ugh. Icon terribly related.

[mahkia.livejournal.com]

109. Yami no Matsuei secret! &hearts&hearts&hearts&hearts I love you, OP~!

146 & 147. O_o

152. Oh my god, I'm blind. BLIND! DDDDDDDDDDDDD:

158. DARKWING DUCK! :D My mom made me a mask so I could run around and pretend to be him when I was like, 5.

What?

[karaokegal.livejournal.com]

Not necessarily. If he was born overseas, even in a US military hospital, approx 49 years ago, there is the possibility that he wasn't circumsized. It's not all that likely, but not impossible either. Just sayin'

[stupendous.livejournal.com]

131. Good. Please continue. Using fanart for graphics without permission to do so is just utter bullshit. Unfortunately I usually think icons made from fanart look better than the ones made from official images, but hey, I survive without them. I'm not about to go against my beliefs for some pretty pictures.

Re: 131

[poisontea.livejournal.com]

Out of a mix of curiosity and what seems to be a complete inability to see anything wrong with this...

Why exactly is iconing fanart without permission any worse than iconing official images (or, indeed, writing fanfic) again?

125

[swing-set.livejournal.com]

125- Over here, over here! *jumps up and down*
I ship it like burning, and I know others who do so also! Add me! We'll set up a cabal, or something! :D

Also: David is Robert's willing bitch. Trufax.

Re: 125

[halfeatenmoon.livejournal.com]

mac_hearts_pc?

108, 109, 137, 153

[lunarwhirl.livejournal.com]

108: I'm half-Asian (Chinese) and don't look it. I really wish I did.

109: I think it's just pathetic that she ditched the series like that. Why even call it a hiatus? Grow some freaking balls and say "I don't feel like writing this anymore".

137: ZOMFG I LOVE THIS SERIES.

153 :... I do, too. >.>;

109

[mahkia.livejournal.com]

Well, she did hurt her hand and was unable to draw for awhile...

[icybright.livejournal.com]

104. Don't lose that outlook. The world needs more people like you, way more than it needs assholes.

115. I agree. That's how Jack sees everyone, IMO, to some degree.

120. I miss Charlie too. His characterization was kind of getting sucky, but I feel this scene (and others towards the end) redeemed him in my eyes.

128. Basically canon, dude. <3

148. I FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME WAY. She makes me want to watch the series! Adoraaaable <3

what - TERRIFYING OMG

134

[aeris-dies.livejournal.com]

i always watched that and cowboy bebop every saturday night in sixth grade, when it was still on toonami. :D

The soundtrack's amazing, too.

[sanae.livejournal.com]

101. HOW CAN 75% OF FANDOM NOT KNOW WHO SHE IS. I only ever read a little bit of Bleach and even I remember her. :|

121. OH MY GOD DAVE THE BARBARIAN. That show was (is?) so, so, so great.

146+147. I LOL'D

[ryahhime.livejournal.com]

101. I fucking love her character. She's the only one I read (good) fic for!

108. Just be yourself! I know it sounds lame, but seriously, don't hurt yourself for someone else's approval. Their approval is meaningless if it's for the fake you- try finding someone who appreciates the real you, and it will mean so much more.

129. I loved how sweet that movie is!<3

134. Aw, that's sweet!

150. Oh man I do the exact same thing.

152. AUGH GOD MY EYES Not the worst I've seen though, sadly. Try typing in Pokemon with a google search and see what I mean. :(

103

[theminitank.livejournal.com]

103- I love you..but i love Ted Kord more XD

OP 103

[(Anonymous)]

I don't blame you one little bit :).

138 & 152

[fifercat19.livejournal.com]

138. Then you should introduce yourself :)

152. Part of my soul just died.

129

[(Anonymous)]

Me too ♥

[(Anonymous)]

102. Uhh... no, you're not a bad female because you know females are hot and men like it. e.e

104. Congratulations, you're an idiot. If watching some dumb TV show is enough to reorganize your entire life philosophy, you were a weak-willed pussy to begin with and deserve to have yourself changed to suit other people's priorities and ideas. Have fun being an NPC.

107. America's Next Top Model is that way, sweetie. Grow some inner life then come back.

108. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA stupid fuck.

....you know what, The rest of you: are all fucking shallow brainless morons today. Done now.

[poisontea.livejournal.com]

Better than being a smug, unsympathetic asshole every day, I'd say!

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

153: Wait, how is that different?
