14. Okay, not going to touch this one with a ten foot pole. Opinions, ect, ect.

[sylviaviridian.livejournal.com]

*sigh* Agreed, as much as something in me wants to go 'DDDX' and start drama...

[kinneas.livejournal.com]

4. I am gonna wholeheartedly agree. It's not as conventionally scary as the others, but holy fucking jesus, the random giant pulsing umbilical cords and baby monsters and freaky memos and kidgrinder sawmills and scary mother fixations and fsdkjghdsk ghosts are just the tip of the Scary Shit In SH4 Iceberg.

[headswedance.livejournal.com]

You have the greatest icon ever.

[kinneas.livejournal.com]

Also 14, get a grip. Calm the fuck down. I get that this is a secret and you probably can't bitch to other people, but who are you to say such and such would never have a relationship with someone else?

[kurachu.livejournal.com]

14. ...Zelos/Genis? o_o I... I never even thought of this...

16. I like Usopp more than Threeo'clock~.

18. I love you. Marry me. Oh my god. ♥♥♥

[bubble.livejournal.com]

16. You have to tell me who that girl is. XD She looks like a really busty thumb-person, and it's cracking me up!

I thought het fans were a myth! Like goodwill towards our fellow man, and Elvis!

[aestivalis]

HI THERE 8D

Hahaha, I kinda know what you mean, but I think you're kinda writing off a hell of a lot of character depth by using such narrow statements. I like plenty of het. pairings in ToS, but~~~ I've always thought Zelos/Lloyd was more canon than Zelos/Sheena for example - and not because of Zelos glomping him. Moar credit plz.

Not trying to pick a fight or nought, I'm just prepared to wax lyrical on a subject I think I'm justified in. I'm a dork :33

[boooon.livejournal.com]

I ship Zelos/Lloyd AND Lloyd/Colette. Whoa, CRAZY, I know. Maybe that's because I don't turn a blind eye to actual development rather than OMG YAOI or OMG HET! Crazy thought, that, paying attention to chemistry. Zelos could be a woman and I'd ship Lloyd/Zelos, and Colette could be a man (though I'd really hope not) and it would be the same thing. I don't like the pairings for their genders, I like them for the way they WORK, honest to god work, because of how the characters are.

Also, Sheena/Colette makes more sense than Zelos/Sheena. If only because if you notice? Zelos will never be honest with Sheena. Colette will. 8)

And I was gonna anon this, but. If I'm going to make this my opinion, I shouldn't hide. Sorry if this reply is a bit jumbled, though!

[boooon.livejournal.com]

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I forgot to say the reason I brought up Sheena/Colette is that not all fans go straight to yaoi! *fail*

Me too.. =(

[downburst.livejournal.com]

... You know, it's people like you that give het fans a bad name.

And by the way, Zelos... doesn't exactly come off as "straight as an arrow"! Ever heard of bisexuality? LOOK THAT SHIT UP. IT EXISTS.

And do yourself a favor and stop taking fandom so seriously. It's really not good for your health, dear. ♥

*for the record, likes Zelos/Colette AND Zelos/Lloyd, thank you very much!!! (also Zelos/Lloyd/Colette, because ot3s are HOT okay)*

Re: 14

[queenie-z.livejournal.com]

Shiru make the bad het fan get off my side ;_;

[revanchists.livejournal.com]

5. I'd read it. ♥

15. I AM NOT ALONE?! OH MY GOD.

[some-kat.livejournal.com]

5. Dude, same here. ♥

[sarajayechan.livejournal.com]

6. W-O-R-D WORD.

[melting.livejournal.com]

1. THE INTERNET IS SRS BZNS. :| I DUNNO WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

14. "Straight as an arrow." -_- Just because he loves women doesn't mean he doesn't also have a thing somewhere in there for guys. For years, I considered myself bisexual, yet only dated guys or really flirted with guys, partially because either all the girls I knew called themselves straight. Now I consider myself mostly lesbian. Sexuality's a fluid thing - and just because one character acts one way on the outside doesn't mean they're not another way on the inside. They're modeled after humans.

It's far stretch to call any character (or any human being) 100% straight or 100% gay.

That being said, I will support most pairings if you can convince me that there's canon evidence for them.

SORRY IF TL;DR. :(

[thepinkangel.livejournal.com]

AMEN.

I've started liking girls a lot lately, but up until then, I was pretty straight. Now I've got a huge crush on a waitress and am trying to get the courage to ask her out ♥

Not that I don't still like guys...but girls catch my interest more right now :D I can't say for sure if it's a phase or what, but I'm not scared or anything. Sexuality's not something you can nail down and completely label, even though our society practically forces us to just for simplicity's sake.

And likewise. I'm no het fan, or yaoi fan. I'm a canon fan ♥

(By the way? You're cool. Just wanted ya to know :D)

[sarajayechan.livejournal.com]

14. You don't have to like them, but people can ship whatever they damn well please, you do know that, right?

[yume-no-kage.livejournal.com]

3. Why hello there. I know exactly where this one came from.

9. Huh. Wonder if I've ever staffed with you.

15. Lol, glowing cones of light. I agree with you.

[(Anonymous)]

3. And you aren't going to tell, right? I really, really, really just had to get it out of my system once and for all.

[militarypenguin.livejournal.com]

14. Kratos/Anna and Regal/Alicia are canon, yeah, but that doesn't mean that it's impossible for Kratos and Regal to have a close relationship with someone else, romantic or platonic, male or female. I doubt that Anna or Alicia would want to see Kratos and Regal hung up over them forever, either.

15. Haha, I can't stand looking at penises. Especially when there's a disturbing amount of emphasis on the VEINS. Christ. It never bothers me to read about them, though. Probably because I don't have to get the illustrated edition.

[queenie-z.livejournal.com]

14. Speaking as one of the biggest Lloyd/Colette shippers ever, I'll have to join with the chorus of "people can ship what they want". I don't like yaoi or yuri; in fact, the only time I've ever written it was for presents for friends. But I support everyone's right to ship who they want. Just like I want people to respect me for liking het instead of slash, people who like slash deserve the same kind of respect.

Besides, under the right circumstances, I actually could see Zelos/Lloyd happening. :x Is there anyone else here besides me who primarily likes het without coming across as being a total cunt?

[boooon.livejournal.com]

Is there anyone else here besides me who primarily likes het without coming across as being a total cunt?

YES. AND I LOVE YOU FOR IT. XD

[fairyfey.livejournal.com]

4. I think it definitely ties with 2 for that. *nodnod*

7. I would just like to say here that that is a seriously hot picture of Rayne. >>

[(Anonymous)]

14 not into the fandom, but what happened to ignoring shit you don't like?

GENIS

is an awesome name though

GENIS GENIS GENIS GENIS

[militarypenguin.livejournal.com]

GENIS is GENIUS name

[icemilk.livejournal.com]

6. Yes, please.

11. I used to think way back in the pre-historic age that I wouldn't be cool if I didn't hate Sasuke, but then I remembered that we're all a gigantic group of nerds who are a little too invested in fake people. There's really nothing to be specifically embarrassed about within fandom after coming to terms with this. It's like reaching fandom zen.

Sasuke's one of my favorite characters. Fangirls who hate fangirls who hate fangirls, whatever.

[punanamine.livejournal.com]

15. Your reason for liking yaoi manga is the reason I hate it. I know that girls into yaoi prefer femininzed men, but removing their genitals is just creepy. If you're afraid of cock, try reading yuri instead.

[militarypenguin.livejournal.com]

I don't think the person meant having genitals removed entirely, just censored out with mosaics.

14.

[tardious.livejournal.com]

Alright number 14 Anonymous-chan, I have to tell you a few things about fandom.



1.) Expect to be verbally raped for this one secret for showing your dislike and distain to Yaoi. [ Though not necessarily Yuri in this case, which may get many fans on ‘HOW COME YOU HAVE NO GIRL ON GIRL PAIRINGS NOT MENTIONED IN THERE? HUH?! ARE LESBIANS SUPERIOR?!’. Although I have now begun to notice that fangirls of yaoi and yuri are becoming more open minded than in the olden days where one person liked one over the other. ]

2.) Showing a superiority complex in fandom for liking a certain thing and waving it around that way is also a bad thing, being tactful helps.

3.) If you have problems with finding heterosexual fiction, you can ask the friendly neighbors of Tales of Symphonia het fans at tales_symphonia which is the most active community of Tales of Symphonia that you need.


If I come off as condescending, it’s probably my nature in doing so, so please forgive my rudeness, I’m only trying to be of a help as much as I can.

I myself don’t like pairings in general, it causes too much drama, besides there’s more to life than romance. :) But that’s my personal opinion; don’t pay any heed to it.


P.S: Colette + Regal OTP

[tardious.livejournal.com]

ALSO ANOTHER NOTE -

You made your secret really pretty picture wise.

[luzerna.livejournal.com]

6. Word. Basing opinions on people by what they like makes you look like a douchebag. And we don't need any more of those in fandom. :[

14. I agree partly with this. Sometimes I wish more people shipped het pairings; there are discussions where I wonder if anyone is interested in the straight couples anymore. But there's nothing wrong with slash or non-canon pairings and people are allowed to like whatever they like. I'm sorry to say that you are not the canon police and you can't silence those godforsaken Zelos/Genis (?!) shippers that just won't stop defacing your pretty little fandom with their fanart. You also don't have a say on what goes behind the scenes of the game or after it ends, and people are free to make it up.

Anna and Alicia have kicked the bucket years and years before it started. People do get over big losses and love again, so as far as I'm concerned the Kratos and Regal pairings can still hold water. lol bisexuality. And Kratos/Raine is about as canon as Lloyd/Genis or any other slash pairing, just for the record. :')

[thepinkangel.livejournal.com]

7. I understand where you're coming from. Since this past fall, I've been more turned on by yuri than any other stimulus before or since. And yet...I'm pretty dang straight. (Minus the crush on that one waitress...)
It's a confusing situation, no?

11. I can't find it in my heart to hate that boy D: He's such a bastard, and is SO MEAN to Naruto, but...he's such an awesome, believable character. Gay pirate outfit ftw ♥ I like him a lot XD

12. YOU ARE MY HERO D: I'm not even brave enough to go THAT far. I hate conflict AND I'm scared for my reputation XD

15. Genitalia in general are pretty gross... Except boobs. They're squishy :D

Re: 7, 11, 12, 15

[kinneas.livejournal.com]

Boobs aren't really genitalia, though. Just kinda taboo cause Americans are prudes.

OH NO HOW DARE THAT MASS OF FAT AND MAMMARY GLANDS BE DISPLAYED

/soapbox

[(Anonymous)]

I don't tend to think the secrets are about me, but they do make me wonder suddenly if people see me in the same way.

And I enjoy the combination of this with 18 right after....

10. So much love for him. ♥
