174. the actor or the character?

109: THE THUMPING! I swear to God, I don't like Bandom or Bandom AUs, but for this administration? The Thumping for Inaugural Ball 09!

133: *shrugs* I like Tori Amos's better than the Beatles.

151: I've never associated Rahm/Stephen with "Samson". Huh.

174: Oooh, judge me harder. Whatever. I like the Comedian. He's a misogynist rapist with serious issues, but I find him compelling. That's my opinion.

183: What, SERIOUSLY? TWOP is running ads on actual television?! Way to sell out, guys.

TWoP isn't actually running ads, per se. The Bravo TV channel is, because they own the whole site now, so they run ads on Bravo.

184. MY GIRL. YES YES YES. Ahem.
I don't agree. First off, drawing/writing manga =/= writing text and then drawing illustrations for it.
Secondly, the ones on the right are all rather distinctive and it's obvious they are not from the same artist. Like, look at the art in Slayers. Many of the HDM books use a style like that and yet you can easily recognize it, regardless of whether you've ever read it or not.
And anyway, many artists are often urged to copy the art styles of popular works, so that their own manga would be successful. It is after they do this (IF they do this) that they eventually develop their own styles.

And there's more to an art style than the face/eyes. Have you ever looked at the hands? The legs or, say, the breasts? Now, I do not personally like how the more modern shoujo artists draw them as if they'd been using a ruler, however, it has become a usual thing. Similarly how the women in shounen series seem to always have very, very large breasts (with exceptions, of course)

And it's supposed to be about the story, too.

156. Entitled is having demands or opinions on things that are none of your business. TV shows don't fall into that category.
You are right, just because he created it and we love it, doesn't mean we have to like everything about it.catered

Screwing over the show? That's a matter of opinion, not a fact in any way.

I personally can't watch anything past mid-season 2 cause I can't take the angst, or the brother against brother, but I recognize that it's my opinion.

The boys ruined. Puh-leez. Kripke has always had an idea how the show would go, an arc, and he has kept at it, between the rock and the hard place, I think he has in fact catered to fangirls wishes too much. Of course me and my slash-goggles are happy that there are no serious relationships with women messing up what I want to see.

There might be a lot of fangirls who worship him, but there are also a lot who don't. But what comes to creating Sam and Dean, he is genius.

And I totally get it why people get all bent out of shape over this show. I've watched *a lot* of TV, and I have *never* seen characters who inspire the level of emotional investment as Sam and Dean. There are a lot of great characters on TV, but how many of them make people in hordes want to screw over the canon just to see *the characters happy*?

SOFT

121. Good for you for wanting to change, OP. Good luck.

122. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

That is all. c:

126. ........ oh my god that is pathetic. D: Not you, OP, the person you're talking about. WHAT UGH.

130. Even if they are becoming Clamp's personal playground, why is that necessarily a horrible thing? I know both series are their playground -- heck, have been for a while now -- and I like them anyway. Just because Clamp is messing around with them and you don't like it doesn't mean that no one else should -- and it doesn't mean that we don't know what Clamp's doing, either. (Well, except for never knowing what Clamp's doing because OUR TEARS ARE THE DRINK THAT KEEPS THEM YOUNG or wtfever, but. You know. XD)

131. Every time I see something like this, I'm pretty sure it's your last line coming back around to bite you on the butt.

135. If you couldn't do any of those things without dropping Internet/fandom completely, then you were doing it wrong. So good for you that you're gone... except for posting on Fandom Secrets, apparently? WHOOPS.

(And no, really, good for you if you realized you couldn't be a part of fandom without obsessing to the point where you neglected your life and your health. In that case, stepping back from the computer is your best option, and it's good that you did -- but the problem doesn't exactly lie with fandom if that's the case.)

141. NUMBER OF HETALIA, TWILIGHT, OR DOCTOR WHO SECRETS IN TODAY'S POST:

11/85

I don't think you have much of a case for the "all anyone does is wank about these things" argument there OP. :| Though I do wish the people in all three fandoms would settle down and wank less, since non-wank secrets/secrets that have nothing to do with wank are pretty rare right now.

143. For one thing, characters reacting to sex is hot. (Which is why I do hate porn fic where all it turns into once Tab A is into Slot B is THRUST THRUST THURST SHUDDER COME RELAX porn over.) For another, if characterization, emotions, and character development are ALL dropped as soon as it turns into actual porn, it's being written wrong. :|

152. Well anyone is going to look unhealthy when they're RADIOACTIVE.

SILLY OP.

158. HOLY FUCK IT'S A BANANA FISH SECRET. FUCK YEAH. DDDDDDDDDDDDD8 ♥!

161. OH NO YOU HATE US ALL FOR THINKING THAT WE LOOK EXACTLY LIKE ANIME CHARACTERS WHEN WE DON'T THINK WE LOOK EXACTLY LIKE ANIME CHARACTERS---

O wait.

Sit the hell back down, seriously. I cosplay because it's fun and I like my pretendy-fun-time, geeky-fan games as much as the next person who doesn't take everything omgseriously.

168. This. I dunno about the crazy half of the Internet, but I am gonna look squinty-eyed at people who say they HATE a female character from a fandom where either female characters, or that female character in particular, are most often hated for fucking stupid reasons. If you can provide a good reason for the dislike after that, great, I let go of my initial misgivings. But you gotta understand that even if you aren't being sexist, there may be a loooooot of bad examples going before you, so immediate, total benefit of the doubt is hard to come by.

172. Hmmmmm. Urge to read new, potentially-awesome, interesting-looking series VS not wanting to do what you say when you bash a series I do like. Seriously, "UGH, _ SERIES SUCKS SO MUCH, READ/WATCH SOMETHING BETTER" is not a good way to make your case. I couldn't care less about Naruto, though I did enjoy the beginning of it and I'm fond of some of the characters. I absolutely love Reborn, though. Sorry, but you not liking it doesn't make it shit.

*... looks up Kekkashi though*

182. I like Harry Potter quite a bit, but man, TRUE FACTS. Those books need more fans and sakjgkfagsfja. So awesome. *A* ♥♥♥♥♥

184. Because god forbid if that is an artist's drawing style. Nope, they have to change it until it looks "unique" enough that you approve! Sheesh.

not!secret #1: Ohfuckgodyesthis. This. DX

not!secret #2: Especially since people seem to be flipping out about ANY secret involving Hetalia now, not only the wanky ones on either side. Great, we all want the wank to stop, except for some of the people still egging it on (like n!s #4) -- the secrets that have nothing to do with it aren't any different from everything else posted in this comm, so let them be, at least. Eesh.

not!secret #4: Protip: No one cares.

not!secret #5: PFFFT HAHAHA.

119: Couldn't agree more! :D Though there are still times that you should think on it, especially with tattoos...

161: What about people who just cosplay because they like the clothes? Not to mention thinking we don't always think we look like a character, it's all in the name of fun. Well...other than those who really think they do...and those that think they ARE the character :S but just because some people are like that doesn't mean all of us are.

172: Looking into it now...I always find the best series through F!S

176: <3 I love that series far more than...the 8 pages of Twilight I read, even though I have no real recollection as to what it's about...I really should find it again someday.

184: I don't even know what the series in the No part are...but more important! What are the two series in the middle of the yes side? I must know...I adore all the others on the yes side :D

184: Actually what are the bottom 4 of the no side too? I kind of like the art for those too...>.>

here you go...

123. I see a handful of people defending GC's acting but really, theres lot of actors/actresses who get roles in bad movies or bad lines but they still make the most of it and make the character at least decent. if she was that great as some of the fans claim don't you think she could work with what she had and at least make it tolerable? When there was so much hate for Kruby but people would rather her to GC, what does that say?

171. I loved that scene too

it says that the fans of the show are never pleased with the female characters, no matter how well they're written or performed?

Yeah, I remember being super psyched to read the recaps because they made me laugh out loud - no longer the case. Pissy does not equal snarky. I'll take TWOP from before the sellout to Bravo, thanks.

133. Wow. Just wow.

157. I recently got live and I have that game. Haven't played it, though. Are the people really nice? I've been afraid to test it out after some bad experiences with other rps over live.

N!S 5: FUCK YES. Plains/White decks are awesome.

133: FUCK YES as well. The Breeders kick ass, and I'd take their version of "Happiness is a Warm Gun" any day.

TRUFAX, BB.

119. FUCK YEAH. I'm gonna get a VB tattoo as well, probably in the same place, but a Venture Industries logo. I'm waiting until the end of the show, however, as sort of a final huzzah.

144. I feel your pain. I really only started looking at that site a couple of nights ago, and I have spent an obscene amount of time on there since then.

174. You can be a fan and not agree with anything he says or does...I like him because he's an asshole.

Your icon has killed me.

So true! I agree - the character interaction is so much more interesting. The sex is only interesting if there is important character interaction going on at the same time.

137: He's the more talented (and better looking)one anyway - always was. *thumbs up*

148: Pauley rocks! I was sad she had to close her blog because of her rapist, stalker ex-husband.

168: Nothing makes me laugh more that Snacky's Law in a wank! Also, excellent observations applicable to every fandom.

In other news, THIS. Young Wizards for the win!

...and there is a fandom. You just aren't looking hard enough. I found that fandom when I was twelve. Of course, it's mostly bad, but so what? There are people to talk to about it! There is fic, fanart, etc!

Just google it. ^^

168: I agree 100%

n!s 5: Hahahaha!

Edited 2009-01-14 07:14 (UTC)

I have fandom related tattoos as well!

I got the Seal of Rassilon (Doctor Who) about 2000, a Gryffindor shield in 2005 and FMA symbol (the one on Ed's coat) in 2007 :)

GEEK PRIDE, REPRESENT! :D

HEY OP, ARE YOU ME? :D I feel the same way. FFVII was my first true RPG and it's still my one true RPG love. I don't care what people say about it or the spin-offs, I'm positively addicted to it. Part of the reason I even got into the Kingdom Hearts fandom is because Cid, Cloud, and Sephiroth are in the games. XD

All I could think about was this guy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Pike_(Star_Trek)) writing vampire romance novels 8( I am a loser, y/y?

I MAY HAVE READ THAT, THOUGH. I think I got it at a scholastic book fair or something in one of those $5, all-the-old-books-they-can-fit-into-a-baggie deals.

That's what I thought when I first saw the name... He had to do something on that planet to pass the time ;-)

163. Join the club. XD Yeah I"m another who is crushing on him so very much.

183 -- Hee! Man, I still own Mighty Big TV schwag and everything. I feel like such an old woman when I complain about the site now, like I should be shaking my cane and yelling at kids to get off my lawn or something. But it really has gone down hill. The forums are full of crazy, crazy people and all the joy and good natured ribbing is gone. Both the recappers and the posters act like watching TV is some sort of horrible punishment and a personal insult. I really miss how it used to be.

And if that baseball comes over here one more time, I'm keeping it! Kids these days....

I love that movie too. I seriously don't understand why it got all that bad word of mouth when it first came out. I think it was marketed wrong or something.

OMG YES. This is so true. I need to reread them.
