5. ...Wow. I love that game too, but for the love of God, don't quit school for it. That's just like becoming addicted to drugs - don't let a silly little (read: magnificantly fantastic ♥) video game prevent you from being able to function in society.

It's like shaking the hell out of a can of Pepsi, setting it back down on the table and then moving back to watch the poor fool who opens it. Always good to just sit back and watch the fun. X3


Onimusha comes to mind. Not that shitty Dawn of Dorks, I mean the real ones - Warlords, Samurai's Destiny and Demon Siege. The fandom is so quiet.

1. HEY IT'S MY HOBBY TOO, LET'S BE LOSES TOGETHER ♥ whoever you are

5. ... That's really, really sad. I don't mean to be insulting or anything, but it's a video game. Don't let it become your whole life.

11. OBLIGITORY "TELL HER FOR THE LOVE OF GOD" COMMENT GOES HERE.

15. Oh, me too. It's like I really don't know how to reply to such the nice things people say, unless I know them and can kid around about shit. Haha.

3. Yeah, and one thing I love about secret communities is watching arrogant people act superior to others and pretend they're incredibly mature just because they don't seem to have anything they're passionate enough about to defend. :P

3. It's sad no one can be passionate about something without getting lol'ed at for it. But then again, there's a fine line between passionate and obsessed. :C

12. ... XD

13. So? D: Just post~

1. Sometimes I wonder... but I feel like I have more productive hobbies-in-hobby, like practicing writing and drawing through fanfiction and artwork, and I've met a ton of awesome people through my, er... obsessions. XD; So really... fandom is what you make of it. <3

2. Hey, I certainly don't judge my self-worth as an artist on my pageviews, but it doesn't hurt to use it as a self-esteem boost. It's nice to know your art has piqued enough interest from people that they want to check your page. After all, it's easy for you to say it's unimportant, given that you have 22,000+ when most of us are lucky to even get a couple of thousand. :/ (Unless that isn't your page... XD;)

3. Egh. It kind of annoys me that on the internet, when anyone tries to defend themselves or something they love, it's automatically labeled as "wank." :/ It's as if the person who makes the first attack against someone or something is automatically on higher moral ground, and the insulted party is supposed to sit there and take it, which.... just doesn't make sense in my opinion.

5. Sometimes I worry that fandom in general has taken over my life in less direct ways, so I can empathize with you but also urge you to get back in school and rekindle your friendship. :/ Fandom is great until you realize everything else has passed you by.

14. For me, the issue is that most het pairings really aren't interesting or well-developed enough to intrigue me. Of course, the same is true for me in regards to most canon-yaoi-based fandoms too; I lost all interest in Gravitation when I found it was all pretty with no psychology. What intrigues me most about slash is the inner conflict. <3 (Plus, like I was saying to a friend last night: It seems that according to many creators for many mainstream fandoms, two male characters have to know each other for a long time to have a believable friendship, whereas a female character can automatically be considered compatible with a male character by simply being female. Thus, the relationship between the two males intrigues me way more than the half-development in the het relationship, and in the female character's personality.

Of course, there are exceptions to that rule too, and it does annoy me when people pair guys for the sake of omghotyaoi instead of omghotRELATIONSHIP.
