101. I hate it when people say things like this, it makes me go >: It's like the people who have free time but they don't want to read any books anymore because it takes too long, it's a waste of time, there's just no point. I... ouch. If it's something you enjoy, why is liking something and/or having fun for a little while a waste of time? D: It's not, it's not! Spend some time on just doing the things you really like doing, too. You'll regret it if you don't.

So... if you like your shows, set aside some time (maybe while doing other things -- eating or working on something that doesn't require 100% concentration?) to let yourself have fun, too. You'll be glad you did, I'm sure. ♥

104. Not all people are exactly alike. Some things don't last, and some things do -- that would be like someone saying "my boyfriend cheated on me, and now I believe all men are cheating scum." It doesn't work to jump from one to the other... so just keep believing. Love and devotion exists if both parties try; it sounds like your love just wasn't the right person for it.

107. Once you learn that Japanese vowels only have one pronunciation -- a is ah, e is eh, i is ee, o is oh, u is oo, and y is also ee -- figuring out how to pronounce words gets a lot easier. That, and usually words with two syllables have the stress on the first syllable (boku is BO-ku, tori is TO-ri), words with three syllables have stress on the second syllable (anata is a-NA-ta, kiseki is ki-SE-ki), words with four syllables have stress on the third syllable (sayonara is sa-yo-NA-ra, kakurenbo is ka-ku-REN-bo)... I'm sure there are exceptions to that one, but as a hard and fast rule, it works.

So... that would make those seh-meh, oo-keh (or oo-kay, or I've heard yoo-kay as well), and yah-oh-ee (with stress on the second syllable so that the latter two run together, I think -- so it's more "yah-OI" than "yah-oh-EE" or "yow-ee").

/RANDOM TL;DR JAPANESE PRONUNCIATION LESSON |D;;

112. ... ... This.

114. Oh geez why would you hate het? Or do you at least mean that you hate het as it is often portrayed in actual series, where most of the males and females are put into neat little boxes in their relationships...? Because otherwise, shoot, why?

118. Shit, you are not alone. That character -- design, voice, etc -- is just extremely gorgeous and agh. So much love for him, and I don't know exactly why.

120. Reanimator slash is actually a pretty big thing. I can totally see where it's coming from, too. Besides, think of it this way: no one in an H.P. Lovecraft story is gonna go the more normal route. No one. If it's canon that a guy can be attracted to a girl who's actually an unspeakable creature from depths, or a woman can mate with an Elder God, then goddammit, we should be able to write something as normal as homosexuality without any problem. B|

124. I do not understand the point of this secret, though I still love the cap used. What happened?

125. ... Oh god I need to catch up. In the meantime, someone fill me in? D8 ♥

128. I don't think so. Look at Master Chief -- and, to a lesser extent, Snake. Samus is old school and awesome, and at the time, the revelation that she was female is amazing. But she's still a pretty damn kickass female.

133. I am officially unsettled and creeped out.

134. I don't really see anything wrong with that art, myself. :/ Then again, I'd probably love the entirety of that series, including the Whedon-and-Ramos arc, so my taste can be safely derided by fandom? Idk.

136. Awwww. Suck. ): WELL YOU HAVE GOOD MEMORIES. AND HAD FUN WHILE IT LASTED. Silph will always be remembered. :|b

137. It's probably already been asked/answered somewhere already, but. What show is this? :O

138. YES. YES. YESSSSS. Oh my god Space Cases love. I just recently rediscovered that show and I totally remember it now and love it so much. Jewel Staite = Catalina, and awesome, but she is also an amazing Kaylee, and if sci-fi or adventure interests you at all, I'd recommend checking out an episode or two just to see if you'd like it. She's amazing and adorable. ♥

125 (SPOILERS LIKE WHOA)

[danyellalot.livejournal.com]

Basically, "Syaoran" is the son of Syaoran Li and Sakura Kinomoto. One ~*~fateful day~*~ or whatever, Papa!Syao was all "Here, take my sword and my name. Your mother had a dream that someone is waiting for you LOLOL YOU'RE TOTALLY SCREWED NOW, SONNY". Syaoran Junior then went to Yuuko's shop, in a parallel of when Watanuki entered Yuuko's shop back in chapter one of xxxHolic. Junior was sent to Clow Country, met with Princess Sakura, was like "dude, wait, you look like my mom!", then other stuff happened that would take way too long to explain.

Anyway, Watanuki is the placeholder for "Syaoran", since, when he decided to stay in Clow Country, the void left by him back in his world had to be filled.

Re: 125 (SPOILERS LIKE WHOA)

[trustyoursins.livejournal.com]

Oh... wow, that is special. I can see being D: about that revelation, though -- I wonder what it will mean for Watanuki in the end...? I'm sure he'll be okay, because he's gone through way too much development in his own series just to disappear or anything, but man, it'll be fun to see how this is all handled. ♥

Thanks!

Re: 125 (SPOILERS LIKE WHOA)

Watanuki is technically his own person now... he's given up his memories of his entire past to stay Watanuki, and not go back to merge with Syaoran.

Hopefully people read your little pronunciation guide. I mean, it does kind of fit if it were called "yow-ee" what with the subject matter, but it makes me cry a little on the inside on the rare occasion I ever hear it out loud. ;_;

Re: 137 - it says in the secret that its from So Weird.
