FANDOM NEEDS MORE UKE!XANXUS!!!!!

Don't worry I suck too 8D
Especially Fire Emblem ._.

114: Uh, I almost never read fic for smut or "crackfic"...it's possible to like it for the characters and stories presented. Wow, some people have the talent and imagination to write that much about characters/worlds that already exists. Strange concept.

128: Heheh, that actually sounds like me the one time I actually bought manga. I tried to get in and out as quickly as possible, hid the bag in another shopping bag, prayed that I didn't run into anyone I knew...yes, I have been conditioned to stereotype people by their interests, I'll admit it. Maybe she was just embarrassed like me?

Plus, I would get some really weird looks from my friends if they saw me reading "one of those Japanese cartoon porn books"...-_-.

101. You have nothing to be ashamed of, my friends and I do this like you wouldn't believe.

140. Me too! glad to know i'm not alone. ^.^

113. LMAO. I don't think I know you, but this secret made me laugh so hard. HILARIOUS.

128. AHAHAHA. I do the same thing. It's more of a "I like geek manga eww" thing. I don't get it either. Next time, I won't run away. :|

Baldur's Gate secret?!!?!?!!? YES!!!!

:D!!!!!

I'm just happy that other people still think about those games.

Gah, don't let that bother you. I have friends IRL that don't speak the best English, but I don't let it get in the way~ :D

Wouldn't that be nice? I spent five months in Taiwan and want to go back for longer. How come Taiwan gets no love ever? Poor little country. I don't know about the Hetalia part... but I do wish more comics (and people) would recognize Taiwan as its own country. Hell, I wish the UN would.

rockfic.com

Uh, yeah....Taiwan is an "independent country" in Hetalia kinda like how Hong Kong is? It's separately ruled, but NOT A FUCKING COUNTRY. Kthx.

Hong Kong is part of China. Taiwan is an independent country and SHOULD BE recognized as an independent country.

tl;dr version: FUCK YOU

168. It's hiding from you.

haha what? no, that's not creepy. i did it! wait, that doesn't make it less creepy, does it?

pfft, my boyfriend got all of 24: season 3 from the video store for me... it's basically 30 seconds of ZQ every episode. :P

It would either be shit or amazing.

113 and 120 are the same person.

123. i would be your friend.

That was my first and only secret ever. :)

I would be your friend! I know where you're coming from -- I'm shy to speak in my second language, but whenever I do people are always polite and friendly. It would be totally rude not to give the same courtesy in return!

Besides, Finnish and Swedish are pretty languages. :)

Edited 2009-01-09 04:15 (UTC)

1. ...I wrote a novel based on my rock band characters. XD You're not alone.

163. Is it possible that I spy a certain Heero Yuy in the top right-hand corner?<3
Excellent fandom choices all around; I love most of those shows/etc. too, so I definitely don't stick to one genre. And I'm female. What generally happens is I get to know a few people from each fandom, and don't generally mix my fandoms. It's a lot more drama free that way, while I still get to enjoy some quality writers and fun fangirls from each one. It's definitely possible, and definitely fun. So I'd recommend just casually looking around for a few cool people to converse with or watch maybe on different LJ comms or fanfic sites. Works for me. :)

If you like yaoi fanfic, have you tried y!Gallery? That's where I post a lot of fanfic, and plenty of other people do as well. There's lots of porn there. XD

I do the exact same thing! My musicians all have complex backstories and love triangles/squares. I think it makes the game more fun! If you ever wanna play and ship some rockers, send me a message, I'll send you my gamertag! ;)

OH MY GOD YOUR ICON! ODOOOOOOO!

Re: 101

rolololo.livejournal.com - 2009-01-10 00:06 (UTC) - Expand

123 - Seriously? Your English (even from this little secret) is not only good, but natural-sounding. I never would have guessed it was your third language! And I'm sure anyone worth knowing would be patient if do you make mistakes. (Besides, a lot of fandoms have multilingual people. I'm sure you could find someone who speaks Finnish or Swedish too, if those are easier.)

175. Indeed, a fandom would probably be the best thing to get out of actually getting published. Besides actually getting published, that is.

Yes. I have lots of friends, some who speak no English at all. Thank God for online Spanish/English translators. :)

103. *juuuuuust gonna pass this one by, good luck there with your sweeping unfounded judgements*

109. ... "isn't any point to it"? I don't get it. Does a hairstyle have to have a point? O_o Maybe the character just... likes that hairstyle (obviously, or they wouldn't have it). That's like saying there's no point to having bangs that cover your forehead unless you have a forehead scar, or long hair unless you're hiding something that's on your back.

110. Lmao god I would love to see it but I can't see it happening because no one could or would force him and he would rage if someone kicked dirt on his pride by even thinking of suggesting it. XD

114. Are you an idiot? Just because you hate anything that isn't shallow doesn't mean that some of us don't love huge long epic plotty fanfictions. Get back under your rock and keep having fun feeling better than people, bb.

121. Aha, awww. Silly anon is silly. Haven't you heard of topping from the bottom?

123. Yes. ): ♥

126. I can see this. I find enemysex hotter when it's two girls, if not more viable. Bestfriendshipping is a lot of fun and a few of my OTPs have come from it, for both sexes, but I tend to gravitate toward the weirder stuff anyway (even if it is BFFshipping). ;)

127. THIS NEVER NEEDS TO BE A SECRET, ANON ♥♥♥♥

128. Manga fans in bookstores confuse me, too, OP. ): Maybe it was because of where it was stacked? IDK how your bookstore works, though. My local store disgusts me because it includes pretty much anything with even the vaguest of BL in the area with the hardcore porn and violent-bloody comics. >/ So it's kind of like... lol TABOO to be caught in that area, especially in a mostly-Christian community. Though, the level of confusion makes me feel like your bookstore isn't set up that way...

131. And yet, presumably, you liked the original. This has logic.

132. I've been thinking about this a long time, and have come to a conclusion, and at this point I don't care about the porn anymore, either. Even the rape porn. Every fandom has rape porn -- and yeah, this is RAPE PORN OF COUNTRIES REPRESENTING HORRIBLE EVENTS, which I can see the argument as being insensitive, and totally wouldn't blame anyone for being upset, squicked, irritated, etc, and deciding they don't like that part of the fandom (though lol at the ones assuming that part of the fandom = the whole goddamn fandom).

But seriously: think of it this way, and I can't get too bothered myself anymore. The characters are both being betrayed as the countries, going through historical events -- but also as people. The mangaka actually goes to a lot of effort to craft most, if not all, of those countries into believable characters, even using the cliches. They have specific likes, dislikes, speech patterns, personalities, and ways that they react and interact with each other. They're countries, but they're also human characters. It's not hard to make the next logical leap and conclude that the people porning the countries aren't doing so because "omg it's England, that continent makes me so hawt!" but because they like the human character of Arthur Kirkland.

Sure, people do think of the history. It's cool to think of historical occurances being paralleled to human interactions between two or more people instead of whole countries. But I seriously don't think, even if there's historical precidence to hint at (or proclaim canon) the pairings for Germany/Italy or Austria/Hungary, the fans would be near as numerous, prolific, or excited/happy about their pairings if they didn't have the chemestry as humanized characters to back it up.

Just a thought, and not going to say it means you have to say, "oh, that's okay, it doesn't bother me now!" But hopefully it's a little easier to see how people can pair and even porn countries from this series now, since most people don't see them as just countries. I know I can't get into a series at all unless I fall in love with the characters, no matter how good a plot is (and a bad plot or no plot at all can be totally forgiven 8|b), so. This isn't really a direct response to the secret at all, just... something I've been thinking about for a long while.

THIS.

133. That picture is adorable. But don't worry about us, hon, we'll all get through it fine. ♥ We're in this for the fun and the love, after all.

135. ... *A* She is adorable. Oh my god I want to know what she's like. Crap, that's pretty.

142. No, your friends should feel stupid.

145. See, I have never seen this movie, have always wanted to, and just from reading the summary of the thing I was wondering if anyone out there shipped it. XD

148. Elizaveta is amazing, holy crap.

152. Do we have to repeat all this? No one cares if you don't like Hetalia. Argh, I don't even give a crap anymore if you hate the entire fandom because apparently one fan, or a small group of fans, equals the entire fandom. Okay, good for you, have fun with it how you have fun with it, or don't enjoy it and have fun with whatever you do like. That's what fandom is all about, the fun, and way too many people are forgetting that -- yes, on both sides.

But, you know? 99% of us don't give a shit if people don't like the series. I want to kick the ass of the people who say that people aren't allowed to feel offended or uncomfortable about the series or the worse parts of fandom, but I'm not deluded enough to assume OMG THAT'S THE WHOLE FANDOM SAYING THAT. I don't care if people take a glance at it and decide they know every single detail about the series and the fandoms and everyone who likes it because it's the devil incarnate. They can go on thinking that, and everyone including them will get over it eventually, and we'll all move on with our lives in a way that doesn't involve freaking out about a manga that originated, as a fandom, as crack comic strips in an online community.

But if you come over here and tell me that I, and my friends, are horrible stupid perverted racist people who obviously know nothing about history and are belittling the true horror of past events by daring to be in a potentially offensive fandom, then I'm going to tell you that I think you're a dumbfuck and you should just STFU. I'm not going up to you telling you that I find your fandoms morally repugnant and therefore you're not allowed to like it or you're BAAAAD, so you can do me the same decency.

(General you, here. Not directed towards OP, or towards the people just saying that the series/porn offends them. I feel bad for all the people getting flack for this who don't deserve it, and that includes a lot of the fans and non-fans. The rabid-fans and anti-fans are the ones who are getting on my nerves. But something everyone should probably keep in mind is that the rabid-fans don't represent all fans, just like the anti-fans/rabid-haters don't represent everyone who just does not like the series, or is even offended and/or hates it. Okay, all? General shaking of hands of the saner people?)

153. .... HOW CAN THIS BE FILED UNDER "SECRET" ANY MORE? O_o

155. I feel sorry for bullies, actually. Offline and online. Because god, and this isn't even meant to be condescending, it must suck to be such a dick. I MEAN IT, REALLY, THINK ABOUT IT. I wouldn't want to go through life as a horrible bitter hateful person, would you? I wouldn't want to be the kind of person who gets my kicks from making other people unhappy. Maybe there are reasons for bullies, from "upset kids with bad home lives" to "they learned how to be assholes from their asshole parents!" to "they're really just dicks," but it's sucky to be that kind of person -- if you're getting bullied, at least you only have to put up with it for a certain amount of time, but bullies have to put up with being themselves all the time.

This probably does come across as incredibly snide and condescending, but man. I don't like the word because of its connotations, but karma. If you're shitty, shit builds up in you, and that just could never be cool.

158. ... Even if it's for a good reason? Because I judge other fans if they're being dicks, but not if they happen to like Thing A that I don't like, or vice versa. And it looks like you're judging too (possibly for good reasons), so. XD

160. ... Punch them in the face. 8|

No, seriously, that shit isn't cool. That is no more cool than being gay and having someone say "I want to fix you~!" It's your sexuality, and she doesn't have any right to look down on you for that. Tell her off, it's not worth keeping silent about it.

161. Oh, god, KIND OF REALLY THIS. And it makes it worse for me because I love trying out fandoms that my friends love, just because I love sharing fandoms with people and think, hey, they have cool taste, I'd probably like it too! And then I run into the few who don't even give it a glance and are like "......... um, it just doesn't sound like my thing, sorry, I'm not interested, also please don't talk about it but let me talk about the stuff I like. Oh, you wanted me to give the first episode a try because you think I'd like it? I can't spare that twenty minutes, what are you talking about, I know I'd hate it, shut up." asjkfshalfjagsfkajsgfajh usually phrased a bit nicer but ARGH.

163. You're not a freak, man! T^T I love such a huge variety of stuff, including stuff on there, and man it's just so much fun. What's not to love if it gives you more to like? I have Hellsing right below Card Captor Sakura on my manga bookshelf, man, variation is love. ♥

164. ajsfhakjfhk positive secret is positive and not bashy of the non-positive! ♥♥♥♥ It's great to hear that you love it and are having fun~ What country are you from?

165. It's not shouta, though. ): I have had no problem with Hunny getting some since I realized that it's not his fault that he'll look like that for the rest of his life, and that shouldn't mean he should never be allowed to have sex~ I mean, logically. He's more mature, age-wise (and, in some ways, personality wise), than most of the rest of the Host Club.

167. I can... sort of get that. It's like... dude, despising someone in real life has been proven to be unhealthy. Anger and hate is bad for you. If you're feeling so much bad shit for a fictional character -- hell, even if they are the Umbrage of the story -- I'm actually a little worried for your health. ;;

168. On LJ. Seriously. XD

170. Now, see, from what little I've seen/dipped into, I love all four of them. THAT SAID, I LOVE YOUR NICKNAMES FOR CIEL AND SEBASTIAN LIKE BURNING, OKAY. l-lol Earl Frowny McShotaShorts especially, holy crap. |D

175. Don't see anything wrong with this. c: It's just the best proof that you've made something that people really, honestly love and remember, and that's pretty the best thing ever for a creator. ♥

177. U SEE HOW DIS WORKS.

178. ... I AM INTRIGUED AND WOULD LIKE TO SUBSCRIBE TO OP'S NEWSLETTER? Which is weird because I'm not in either of those fandoms. 8|

XD;; Yeah, there's that too.
