1. Yeah I sort of get that feeling too :|

[luzerna.livejournal.com]

I second this.

Well, not exactly, because I don't have many friends on LJ... but those kinds of secrets makes me wonder how strong my bonds actually are in other places. Dumb drama isn't limited to the livejournal fandom circles. D:

[ew-younerd.livejournal.com]

11. lol SHEZ AN HERO!!!

12. I don't look down on them, but the manga>>>anime. Anime raped the characterization of all of the senshi, especially Rei :( and Minako.

4. Aww :( this is cute to me. You seem cute. ♥

2. Wow, lame. On both sides. Liking someone just for RP is pretty dumb, but getting that possessive over RP is also pretty dumb. Here's to hoping it works out or you break it off.

iawtc. >( plus the art style of the manga is more consistent, imho.

[des-butterfly.livejournal.com]

11. lol, yeah bigoted anonymous people are so very courageous.

[ew-younerd.livejournal.com]

:*D Assholes DARING to be anonymous through the internet! I can't believe someone could do that!! It takes guts, that's for sure!!

[corps.livejournal.com]

6. It's not. It's because he's boring.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_dahne_/]

It's funny that 17 isn't me, cause it really could be.

Though I have an excuse, since my fandom canonically has a batshit insane AI refer to The Hollow Men.

God, I love Metal Gear.

[keikain.livejournal.com]

Weeeell, admittedly so. There are so really kick-ass Tousen writers out there and I'm lucky to know the few I do, but I swear some of his fans can be some of the whiniest and least contributing in fandom (|D His and vaizard fans, but that's a whole different ball-game).

[la-belle-roo.livejournal.com]

5. I love Les Mis, and Eponine is the best character ever!

6. Amen to that! Seriously, if you love a character then pimp them like crazy!

[dusk.livejournal.com]

1 If you're worried about it, then that might suggest you've done something to deserve a secret about you, wouldn't it? =/

4 As cute as it is that you want to spend all that time with your S.O., you gotta let them have a little breathing room. ♥

7 Me too. There's not much of an AIR fandom that I can find, either. It's sad.

9 ... Is that Light and L? XDDD

12 ... The manga's just so much more awesome in my opnion. :(

16 ... So what? Boys aren't allowed to be fans?

[fairyfey.livejournal.com]

9. That's what I was wondering too! If so, ouch.

[melting.livejournal.com]

2. You need a new relationship, and...

4. You do sound like a possessive bitch.

Also, 10. OMG. XD

[(Anonymous)]

4. Agreed

[lorei.livejournal.com]

9. I agree :/

12. I THINK I KNOW WHO YOU ARE~ XD

14. P!atD slash...? That's terrifying.

16. LOL YOU'RE AWESOME XD

17. Ha, ha, I love alluding to literature in my fic. I feel SO CLEVER when I do that.

[(Anonymous)]

SHUT UP DORK XD ♥

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

I feel like 2 and 4 go together. XD;; Eh heh.

9. That picture is awesome. :)

2 and 4

[lorei.livejournal.com]

I just (belatedly) thought the same thing XD;

[x-of-greene-x.livejournal.com]

16. Looks like my death note folder. P.S. Why does it matter that you're a dude?

[melting.livejournal.com]

So... you get offended when your girlfriend has RP characters who are in relationships with other people's RP characters who aren't you?

D: indeed.

okay, I'll keep it all to one comment.

[maeda.livejournal.com]

3. THANK YOU. Really.

10. Hahaha... oh my, I almost thought this was written by a Certain Someone until I saw the URL. ♥

[song-of-truth.livejournal.com]

9. That picture is terrifying to me. First of all, what did the L cosplayer do to their eyes?! If those are contacts, I don't want to know how much they spent on them. And secondly, Light....reminds me way too much of Loki in that outfit. It's the black and the poofy white cravat and the hair, I guess, but. Loki/L, my brain weeps so.

Oh, right, the actual secret. I think you have a point on them not being *amazing*, but very few people can pull off a character perfectly no matter what race they are. It's the whole elevating them above all other cosplayers I see sometimes that annoys me, so in that case, agreed.

14. Wow. That community title is so incredibly not predictable at ALL.

5 and 7

[jblankbluth.livejournal.com]

What are these?


17. I love you, please link me. D:

[heron-advocate.livejournal.com]

4. You almost sound like my boyfriend (though I know you're not). ♥

6. lol, I would if I could. :( Kaname = hard. For me at least.

12. I would love to read the manga! But...I haven't. Woes.

16. Boys aren't allowed to be fans, too? How oppressive and sexist you are, fandom!

17. lol

Because the English manga is out of print, and scanlations are next to nonexistant (and the one I DID find was godawful), I plan to scanlate my manga.
I don't need the scanlations, since I own all the manga in Japanese, but...I do need it to convert people XD
Alex Glover (http://www.kurozuki.com/takeuchi/) has an entire website with translations of all of Naoko Takeuchi's works, but...no pics. Sadly.

(...And yes. I'm a total Sailor Moon loser.)

[pshhness.livejournal.com]

5. Thank you. Les Miz definitely needs more love!!

[grayout.livejournal.com]

5. I've never watched it but I've read the book (yeah, the original 1000+page horror. Hated reading it because of the awful wordy style. D:). Loved the book, though!

PS, 16

[grayout.livejournal.com]

TELL ME WHERE YOU GET IT, I only have like 2/3 of that and I want more. D:

I'm the original poster of the secret that number one is based on. No, I haven't told the person it was aimed towards yet, and I'm not sure that I ever intend to. That person isn't actually a fandom friend--we knew each other for years in real life before we graduated high school a couple years back and went our separate ways. We're both in college out of state, so the only time we ever interact anymore is in a purely fandom setting. That person and I have never been terribly close, but lately they've been posting a slew of comments to my personal journal, all overly-critical of me. I made that secret as a way to vent my frustration at the person in a non-confrontational way. I've never been good at showing my true feelings, so this was a good way to get it out there, since the person frequents this community. They'll never know that it's about them, but at least I know that they saw it.

I'm sorry that it made you feel that way.

Oh, and 12? I'm the same way. The anime SUCKED in comparison to the manga.

[(Anonymous)]

You do what you can :/



IT BLOWS HARDER THAN PARIS HILTON. I can't STAAAND IIIT. (Except some of the music. Even if it is horribly cheesy.)

[colortheory.livejournal.com]

12. The manga was SO MUCH BETTER than the anime. You're totally justified in that. XD I do the same thing with Rurouni Kenshin. The anime makes my brain liquefy and come out of my ears!

12

[dusk.livejournal.com]

I agree for the most part, except that I absolutely loved Samurai X. I don't know if that was in the manga or not, but I thought X was amazing.

[vriska.livejournal.com]

12. I've seen very few situations where an anime series is better than the manga. Actually... I don't think I can name one off the top of my head. The Tokyo Mew Mew manga was so cute and I loved it, but the anime (the original, even) is rather boring and pales in comparison to me...

IMO, I think manga just does a better job of telling the story and fleshing out characters. Anime series are shiny because they have color and voices, but I prefer reading manga in most cases.

[colortheory.livejournal.com]

Ahh, Tokyo Mew Mew. One of my secret guilty little pleasures. XD

MOAR!

[colortheory.livejournal.com]

14. Real person!Slash creeps the hell out of me. It always has. And I'm also fundamentally against Real Person!RP (I'M LOOKING AT YOU, JROCK FANDOM), but that's probably secret material in of itself.

[lostremnant.livejournal.com]

4. Sounds like a good way to ruin a relationship.

6. I haven't caught up with the manga yet but in the anime it seemed that little was done with Tousen. You'd think they would find more to do with a blind shinigami ex-captain though.

[ex-duelist.livejournal.com]

9. People say Asian cosplayers are better because most of their costumes look better. It's not about the race or gender or whatever of the person who's wearing the costume.

(And as for the pic you used: Raito is Japanese...)

12. THE ANIME IS BETTER. :D

16. I hope you're one of the nice, non-crazy/bitchy breed of LJ-dwelling fanboys. They're hard to find on here :(

[(Anonymous)]

That's your opinion and I do my best to respect it, but... Yeah.

I'm sorry D:
