1. I don't get why people have to be ashamed of liking something popular. I love Bleach like crazy and I'll admit to everyone, and what more is I'm relatively new to the fandom. It's fun and that's why I enjoy it.

15. Practicepracticepracticepracticepracticepracticepracticepracticepractice.

Seriously. :D
English is easy lol

1. Yeah, some fans like that make me kind of sad.

8. Do I know you? ♥

16. What game is that?

18. ROFL

16. Kartia. It's a very neat PS1 strategy RPG, a bit in the vein of FFtactics, but with some really interesting combat mechanics. And I'm not sure, but I think Yoshitaka Amano did the character designs. Man, I haven't played that in ages.

...dammit, secret poster. Now I want to track down a copy.

7. The stupidity of some people on that show really amazes me.

15. Aw, I don't think anybody would make fun of your English.

[identity profile] boooon.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
4 - Thanks. Let's try our best to keep the fandom all right. Please. for. the love. of god.

13 - Is that some Thrall I see? ♥

[identity profile] boooon.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Also, 15? Sometimes... you just gotta dive in. It's really scary at first, but you can do it~

4. THANK YOU DEAR GOD
Being a large-ish participant in the fandom myself even if it's basically all just loldrant-quality shizz, I find it hard to say anything while I'm still around a lot of other major Abyss fans. But seriously, the main Abyss community has degraded to like, basically just an icon community with a few blog crews on the side. The fandom is all in the friendships made outside the community, really.

yeah, truth, the fandom is shitty. I am unamazed. loldrant-quality?

...is that even really a quality?

14. I'm not alone? O: I honestly cried in those two scenes( Tsume's 'I wanted to take you to Paradise' line just made the tears start flowing), but I watched Grave of the Fireflies and didn't cry once, not even when you see him bury his sister. I think the only other time I ever cried in an anime series was when Maes Hughes died, just because of the scene where Ellisia is asking why their burying daddy, 'he has work to do!' So sad T^T

15. [livejournal.com profile] ville_de_lumier I guess it's kinda biased, since I am part of the comm, but to date I can't remember a wank incident, at least not a big one, and a lot of our players, including me, don't speak English as their first language

2. I have to agree with that. >>; I haven’t even finished KH yet…but the fanbase is quite good. >>; Even the ones who spork badfic. :D *knows quite a few of those* Because, to quote one of them, “While the fic may be bad…that doesn’t mean the author/authoress is”

5. Agreed. LOL. Ren Faire IS cosplay…it’s just a less modern scenario.

10. Payless makes good shoes. >>; I get most of my good shoes there, and if not there at DSW. :D

12. agreed~~~~~

15. >>; I could pimp a few that are promising, both serious and crack, though many of them have been the source of zOMG wank. And trust me, there are PLENTY of overseas, English-as-Second-Language RP-ers in elite and semi-elite rps. But, just look around. :D

[identity profile] gysecune.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
2. Heeeell yes. :D I'm inclined to agree.

[identity profile] shigishigi.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
16. Mainstream audience would backaway from Amano's artstyle faster than you can say Sephiroth. I love Kartia but I'm glad that it's one of those things that I can hog to myself.

17. Who are you? Anyone that ships Anna with ANYONE should be my best friend!

[identity profile] koala.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
i. i couldn't have put it better myself. i love when people stick to something considered un-cool and don't care. if you're that easily scared away from it, why bother in the first place?

[identity profile] fishy-pooser.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
4. Haha yeeeees♥ I think we need more writing. Thought-out writing, with spellcheck and actual thought put into it.

8. I don't hate the new author, and I was a big fan of the first one, too. Do people really hate her? :0

[identity profile] advocate.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
2. Ditto. I think this is the first fandom that I've literally clung to and decided, "Hey, I'm not letting you go anytime soon." So I'm totally with you there. ♥

3. Bravo for giving it a shot! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion of course, but I honestly disliked the manga and adore the anime. No clue why. Maybe because I'm a lazy ass and would rather watch it instead.

4. Agreed.

15. Despite a lot of RPs looking like they're big, scary monsters (or something of equal but more amusing value) and whatnot, I'm pretty sure nobody would judge you just because English isn't your first language. ♥ Mention that in an application and all will be awesome.

18. HAHAHA.

Abyss is going to take over livejournal one day, I swear. It's all I see these days ;_;

[identity profile] stormbringer986.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
3. I like the series, but I don't see the L/Light pairing either.

14. Those scenes made me bawl like a baby! There have been other things that make me cry, like a few tears and a sniffle or something, but I was practically sobbing at those parts. Just thinking about them for the next few days made me start crying again, too. Talk about pathetic.
It makes me wonder why I'm watching it again, when I know that part will make me cry again.

Goddamn, the ending of Wolf's Rain was sad. And confusing. (Rocks fall, everybody dies? Sort of?)

[identity profile] demyx.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
2. 8B Kingdom Hearts never gets old for me for some reason. I am eagerly anticipating whenever the next game, assuming there is a next game, is coming out. In fact, I aspire to be that embarassing 45 year old who still plays video games. Yes, I want to be a loser when I grow up.

4. For all the people who harp about it...

WHERE ARE ALL THE FUCKING ABYSS RPERS?!

(minus the awesome ones in Landels Damned. ASCH! GUY! ♥)

12. Hahaha, I thought BB and Raven were a cute couple. XD and I love Terra. Good thing I never got into the fandom. I'm glad she eventually came back even though it was in the suckiest way ever. ;_;

15. Speaking of [livejournal.com profile] landels_damned... you may want to check it out. It's virtually wank-free, multifandom, and it's very easy to interact with others. :) You don't even need to go to the chat to get around in the game, the only thing I can imagine that would offset some people is that it's huge and a lot of characters have already been taken, but it's VERY newbie friendly and there will be a lot of people to help you get started both ICly and OOCly. And it pretty much forces your character to team up with others if you actually want them to get anywhere.

And the mods don't suck. Seriously.



And frankly, I bet your English is better than most of the "native speakers". There are some people I met who say that English isn't their first language and I honestly couldn't tell because they spoke/typed better than I ever could.

17. Anna. ♥ She is hot. Favorite character when I actually played Tekken. Way better than Nina anyway. >:[ Why did Nina get her own game?!

(Anonymous) 2007-04-18 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
WHERE ARE ALL THE FUCKING ABYSS RPERS?!

Not just in Landels. There are plenty of 'em out there. [livejournal.com profile] bridgehigh, [livejournal.com profile] intermixed, [livejournal.com profile] ville_delumiere, [livejournal.com profile] polychromatic, I *think* there are some in [livejournal.com profile] _catchphrase_, and a growing group in [livejournal.com profile] terra_nullus. JUST to name a few.

1. I'm a Naruto fan, but I don't like admitting it because I don't like going CRAZY over it. It's a good show, but most of the fans are downright crazy.. It's not that I'm an elitist, it's just that I choose not to socialize in the fandom anymore.

3. Finally someone says it! You're not alone! *HUG* Some people don't give people like us enough credit for at least trying it.

7. That show is retarded. They should ask the same questions to those kids 20 years down the road and see if they get them right.

13. I'm currently having that problem with drawing super heroes. :(

Awe yeah, I know. :( That and I've seen a lot of if you don't like it, you're obviously not smart enough/on the right level to enjoy the series, which makes no sense to me, because sometimes you just don't like something.

... wow. So many manga/anime related secrets... I feel left out. But not. I just don't get them.

[identity profile] downburst.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
4. ... so am I the only one here who is actually for the most part PLEASED with this fandom? :S

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_dahne_/ 2007-04-18 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
1. I like Naruto. I'm not ashamed of any of it.

Except for the dub. OH GOD WHY

14. God, those made me cry liek leetle girl.

16. Kartia rocks.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_dahne_/ 2007-04-18 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, and 17: I don't know the Tekken character, but her/Lulu looks hot.

[identity profile] thepinkangel.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 04:12 am (UTC)(link)

1. I'm only afraid to admit that I'm a Naruto fan on my college campus, because most of the anime fans here at my school are horrifying, immature, squeaking fangirls with atrocious acne. They also have bad reputation as students...(I know some, and they're pretty decent artists. But some I've seen...you kinda wonder how they even thought they could possibly make it as an artist...). I'd never be able to raise my head at school again e_e

2. I think I know who you are, but I'm not terribly sure XD (And if I got it wrong, my apologies XD;)

6. I think it's deliciously appropriate that you used a Jade pic. Win ♥

12. I never was really into Teen Titans, but I like both pairings because I like both of the girls XD Terra was just too cool D: AND BEAST BOY DOESN'T GET ENOUGH LOVE, DAMMIT DX Why does he not get any attention unless he's with another character?! DX

13. I have a similar problem; all I can draw well are comics, because my style is so awkward and ugly and constricted that I can't draw full-body posed people well at all, pretty OR ugly D: I know how you feel ._.

(Anonymous) 2007-04-18 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
6. Yes. Somebody saw my symbolism. Or something.
Ohoho.

2. Usually, I hate KH stuff. This secret is just so true though, but I really just don't want to join the fandom, no matter how pretty the Axel X Roxas pictures are.

14. T_T OH MY GOD THE WHOLE ENDING OF THAT SERIES WAS SO SAD KJSDHS

That pair of deaths, especially, though. ;_; God, that series had such fantastic character development and the canon relationships were wonderful. And... guh. I want to re-watch it. T_T

[identity profile] angelogdarknes.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
The only way I could re-watch Wolf's Rain was with a couple dozen boxes of Kleenex, because I know that the happy moments would just make me cry harder, by some weird Then-why-did-they-have-to-die-at-the-end?! logic u_u;;

[identity profile] mipeltaja.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
13. I have a very similar problem, except I can't draw chibis. Those of my drawings that are meant to look manly or ugly have a severe lack of balls (figuratively speaking) most of the time. Also; Thrall =

16. Olord. Kartia. I need to play it again.

17. HELLO, NEW CRACK OTP! even though I like Wakka/Lulu...

(Anonymous) 2007-04-18 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
All the Thrall love makes me happy. :)
(And thanks for understanding.)
