7. You are not alone, secret-maker. =3

YAY!

Xy's too lazy to log in~

2. Yeah, I think I used to do that but that was because the galleries for "guys" and "girls" on animevisions weren't separated by fandom. But seriously, what? Riku's not even a girl. ._.
11. I wanna be a scanlator too! But my Japanese isn't good enough. T_T
12. I didn't think it was so bad. Besides, it was really supposed to be just 20 minutes of battling. The "Smiles" bridge? THAT was bad.

1. For sure~
10. FUCKING WORD.
12. Oh yeah, totally with you on this one. I was so FUCKING excited and I waited for new screenshots with glee. The movie came out, and I was even excited the first time I saw it. But now? I don't even want to watch the whole thing through again.

4. Get a life. A hobby is not a profession. You're not wasting tax dollars on bad RPers, what a bad Rper is happens to be your perception and opinion, and you're being a baby for wanting to rant about it and whine. You're pretending to be a fictional character writing in a journal (hell, it's OOC for half of manga characters to write in stupid journals in the first place), and vicariously channeling judgment and emotion through them. Just as someone holds religion as a way to feel superior, just as someone holds psychology or science as a way to feel superior, you feeling the need to rant and whine about others just having fun and how it effects you is lame. Suck it up, loser.

There are sane RPers, sane religious people, and sane scientific people. However, the dictators of these denominations ruin it all.

LOL at you. Let people have fun. ZOMG THEY HURT YOUR CHARACTER'S INTERACTIONS? IM SO SORRY. IM SO SORRY ;___;

10. Iawtc and wrote a rant on it a while back.

[ew-younerd.livejournal.com]

I just wanted to add a ♥ to number ten again.

[shahni.livejournal.com]

1. I'll always love FF7. Right now, it's a very so-so place for me to be in. I'm enjoying other fandoms I've always been in right now, like Guilty Gear, and I know when I come back to FF7, it'll be like wearing comfy home slippers again. ♥

4. IAWTC.

5. THE YUCK, IT BURNS. I -like- yaoi manga, but Okane ga Nai? WTF IS that thing among these HUGE, weird SEME MONSTERS?? It's NOT cute. Some of the chibi art is though. Those are adorable.

6. I agree too. Some people just like to have something to escape to, or just enjoy. I personally don't see why reality HAS to be nittygritty. Something beautiful can have just as much meaning as something made with 'realism'

12. I admit, I liked Advent Children, because (sans the wtf I went through with Cloud woeing when he was ALRIGHT at the end of FF7) it was truly a splendid work of animation, and the characters got to move on.

Even DOC in it's own right, helped characters move on but the only thing I had do say to THAT was... 'was it even necessary'? Like, can't WE make our own conclusions? It just added stuff that we're going to overlook ANYWAY since it was so strangely executed.

I'm personally a big fan of the characters, so I don't mind seeing more art on them. Instead of bashing the new stuff, either ignore it, or use it creatively to your own advantage? I have. It's given me some fun stuff to do for RP. ♥

But yeah, I guess I can see why you'd feel betrayed. But for that I blame fans, not the company, who assumed this was what fans would like.

You know, that's a damn good point and I appreciate you for stating it. And I'm not like... anti-totally-Nazi against AC; I have a bunch of AC icons and do enjoy the pretty renderings and stuff, but as I said in the comment thread below, I think they could have done a much better job with fleshing out the characters rather than introducing three new characters and trying to deal with everyone else as well. I also have to respectfully disagree with you about AC and DoC helping characters move on, and agree with your sentiment of "was it even necessary?" and "whytf was Cloud woeing?" XD; In my opinion, Cloud dealt with his past demons in his final battle with Sephiroth, which I always thought was implied to be in his own mind, and Vincent put his history with Hojo to rest when he said "Rest in peace, Hojo."

However, to each his own. D: Call it my fan frustration.

Ew Re: to anonymous

[ew-younerd.livejournal.com]

I call a lot of people kiddo. I'm actually nineteen, and could probably be considered a kid, myself. I didn't really mean to imply that you were a child, seriously. I am not so used to people taking everything I say seriously, since I don't take anything I say seriously.

Anyways, I'm not condescending towards roleplayers. Even the ones that want to whine about how other characters ruin their experience (that's like uh. A person talking about how seeing a certain type of couple on the street bothers them. It's just bothering you because you are making it that way), I'm not gonna insult their roleplaying, I'll just insult their bad attitude.

And that's the difference, really. When you're taking something so seriously that you're saying someone RUINS your time, you're insulting (on a strong level) the way somebody enjoys themselves. When I'm getting irritated at RP bullies, I'm insulting their attitude, not the way they do something that brings them joy or whatever in life.

SILLY NINETEEN-YEAR-OLD, KIDDO'S FOR TRIX!

[liltigre.livejournal.com]

1) I moved from G1 Transformers fandom to FFVII fandom. It was like whiplash. X_x I still the G1 fandom, though. (I still keep adding to the Great Rodimus Figure Collection. And will probably never stop putting my Rodimus figures in compromising positions with my Optimus figures, either. Mmm, mechslash.)

3) You can keep the strap on, but I wanna borrow the whip. :D

4) ......... not touching that with a ten-foot pole.

5) Okane ga Nai scares the fuck out of me. The art makes it look like a gangbang on a five-year-old, and that's just sick. x_X Not to mention the little uke there should be a shriveled-up dehydrated husk from how freakin' much he cries. Whatever happened to the concept of 'happy' sex?

7) He's kinda hot in a nerdy way, I'll admit. But i wouldn't hit it till the armor came off. That would hurt.

10) ....... again, not touching with ten-foot pole. Next!

11) If you're looking for a challenge, I have several doujinshi that I'm DYING to get translated! :D

12) Why does everyone assume that AC/DoC immediately kills the old canon? I just kind of look at it as an alternate-universe 'what if' scenario. I like OGC, i like AC, I like DoC for their own properties. Doesn't mean they nullify everything unless you're dead-set on letting them ruin your fun.

[(Anonymous)]

12) That's the way I see it too, but I just wish I didn't have to. :/ I mean, don't get me wrong; I discard the new Compilation stuff easily and don't feel pressured to include it in whatever fanworks I do, and I still love FFVII for what it is, but I just wish that instead of making such canon-inconsistent sequel/prequel stuff, Square-Enix had taken the opportunity to do something spectacular rather than mediocre. (Especially something mediocre that was pretty enough to screw over an already-dubious fandom. ._. And I don't mean that in an elitist way--if someone wants to go with the Compilation canon, I have no beef; I just take issue when they go with the Compilation canon without having played the original game.)

[despedia]

4. I kinda understand your feelings, even though it's important to keep in mind not to get too serious for a RP, when people mess everything up IS frustrating.

6. Actually, I think Ouran is a very good show, though I watched a few eps and just HAD to stop, and I'm sorry for that, 'cause I enjoyed it very much :\ I couldn't stand the feeling of "OMG EVERYONE LOVES HARUHI", it was too much for me (I can't stand most romantic stuff...), but still I think it's a pity people won't give it a chance.

jesus fucking christ on a cracker, are people not allowed to just.. not be interested in a series anymore?

They are. I don't care if they have no interest. But others are allowed to be annoyed when they insult a series by calling it shallow and stereotypical without knowing anything about it. The secret's not talking about the fact that they don't care about the show, it's talking about the fact that they bash it without ever having seen it.

10. For me, when people go, "RP IS SERIOUS BUSINESS," I just want to strangle them because I use that serious business line in comedy practices, and when I hear it used in bitchery, I go, "Get the fuck off of that; stop ruining it!"

And I get that 'rp is serious business' line often on my flist, and I want to strangle the person who uses it enough to piss me off. =__= THE GOOD PEOPLE KNOW IT'S NOT SERIOUS. Just...JUST STOP RAPING THAT LINE YOU ASS!!!

11. I wanna be one, too. DX

[chaoticchicken.livejournal.com]

12. Am I the only one who loved this movie? Especially the dub?

[shahni.livejournal.com]

Not alone! I loved it! (But I didn't like Aerith's voice in the dub. ._. She sounded DEAD and I don't think it was supposed to SOUND obvious. XD)

And... uh, gonna be a fangirl here. I LOVE THE ICONS YOU MAKE you are my idol. ♥ Marluxia ftw. :D

*cough* sorry. :3

[subversive.livejournal.com]

12. I really wouldn't go so far as to calling AC a betrayal. Now, DoC? THAT was a betrayal. The whole Genesis thing? ALSO a betrayal. I'm... extreeeeeeeeeeemely under-informed about CC, but considering it apparently contains some shit about Genesis, I'll tentatively call it one as well. Waiting for it to come out first. And BC sort of pisses me off and fills me with phone-envy, as well as extreme irritation over all the damn Turks running around in that game and completely unrelated bad experiences with people RPing them which nonetheless impact my view of that game. Blame classical conditioning for that one. STILL, the point is that... really AC isn't that bad. I personally loved it, even with the improbable physics and plot holes which give me headaches to this day (YOU try and explain how the remnants came about/how the Reunion works/how the black water works/how Geostigma works to 4578327938247295 people WHILE trying to avoid repeating yourself/keeping it interesting/sounding like the whole damn thing's been scripted). So it... yes.

There is so very much more I could say, but I'll restrain myself... unless you WANT to hear more rambling, that is. DDD:

[(Anonymous)]

I call for more rambling! Ramble away! We likes teh rambles.

[la-vamp.livejournal.com]

1. I totally agree with you there. Sometimes I actually like smaller fandoms better, because there are less people to ruin it with their drama.

[karel]

4. I wouldn't say you're elitest. When you RP, you do it to have fun. Playing with OOC characters isn't fun, so you've just defeated the purpose. *shrugs* It's mean, but it's also the way it is.

I stop playing with people that can't get their characterizations (or spelling and grammar consistently; who the hell cares about typos.) right because I want to RP with [insert character here]. Not some bloke that looks like him but acts like [your mom or some other person].

[byewonderland.livejournal.com]

[04] There just comes a point when you just really shouldn't care about the details anymore; just be in it for the fun. If someone bothers you with their roleplaying, I say just ignore them or somethin'. Stick with those you like to roleplay and have fun.

[12] I liked the movie. It wasn't a top-top favorite, but I still found it to be enjoyable.

[demyx.livejournal.com]

7. I never even played Half-Life and I still think Gordan Freeman is a walking bag of SEX (please tell me I at least got the game name right or I'll have to spork myself D:)

Though the only thing stopping me is the fact that I don't have the right console/PC for Half Life. And I really suck at FPS games (did I get the genre right? I'll have to spork myself again if I didn't), but hell, it looks better than Halo and it sounds like it actually has a plot. >_>

[hughes]

You know, I've never played Half-Life either and I've always thought Gordon Freeman had a really interesting character design. And was pretty good looking.

And haha, me too in regards to Halo! XD I'm not really interested in playing Halo (FPS is not my type of thing, usually), but Half-Life sounds really interesting from what I've heard and I'd totally try it out if I a) had a PC to run it on and b)...didn't get scared so easily. D:

[(Anonymous)]

9. YES. I definitely hear you.

And wow, there's a lot of drama going on with this post, huh? >D

[hughes]

1. SO yes.

2. YES. Ohman. XD

4. I see there's been a TON of wank about this one, but... I have to say I agree completely. <3 As much as I hate to sound elitist, some RPers really do make things suck for the other players by being inconsiderate or horribly OOC. :/

5. ROFL. Here's what I say: Yaoi = MAN ON MAN. Not MAN ON GIRL. I love yaoi, but I mean yaoi with real men. <3

7. I've never played the game, but I've always thought he was pretty good looking in the promo stuff. XD

10. YES. YES. YES.

11. Oh man, I HAVE SOME DOUJIN THAT NEED TRANZILATION. 8D [/shameless] You probably want to work on regular manga, though, so. :X

12. ......Yeah, kinda. :/ The MOVIE wasn't so bad, but the rest? Aughadgsh. AND MARRYING OFF CID TO SHERA WITHOUT ANY FURTHER CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT WHAT. WHAT. I mean, I'm not a big fan of the pairing, but I'd be okay with it if they'd you know. Not suddenly jumped it on us so suddenly arghahdskj T_T

[(Anonymous)]

9. >> Soooooooo know what you mean. I finally got tired of it and just jumped ship to another RP.

[yentai.livejournal.com]

12. Disappointing -_- for a minute I thought that Denzel was Tifa and Cloud's kid o_O i mean, WHERE DID HE COME FROM?! -_- and the movie just rushed itself and....blah, disappointing but the graphics were lovely.

[riddled.livejournal.com]

Damn, 12 is pretty.
