A very bad, bad man indeed.

And no problem! It's actually just as interesting to talk about characters you hate as talking about those you love. XD

Mind if I add you? ♥

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

Mm, I've met a few ToA fans who've snapped at me because I dare RP the character they RP, or that too many people like their favorite character. What.

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.

I swear. I wanted to read Death Note until people spoiled me about L.

People spoil it without even thinking. :| All the time now.

I was super bored? Summer break had gotten to me >>

:[ lol Awful presumptuous of them, huh? Wow.
imugi: ([jo; tsukasa] huh...?;)

[personal profile] imugi 2007-04-18 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Honestly, I dislike that sort of attitude. New people coming into the fandom doesn't "ruin" it. "Newer" people aren't any less intelligent than "older" ones. And no one's better for having been in a fandom longer than someone else. It's a relatively new game as it is, isn't it?

And you can't make presumptions like that when you don't even know the person you're accusing.

Your opinions have value and sense to them, but please try to be more careful and considerate next time...

Such a terrible, horrible human being. ♥

Kinda makes me wish I had a character I hated enough to talk about...XD;

And sure! I'll add you back! :D

(Anonymous) 2007-04-18 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Additionally, I don't want to keep it to myself. I just want less boring, same-old posts. IS THIS A CRIME?
Sometimes, reading posts in a thread can help. I never said anything about ruining. I never said any of that. I have no idea where you got it.

Wow, uh, you don't know me either? Niiice. Maybe I do know her. I have the right to remain anonymous, though, so I'm not going to say either way. At the very least I must have some info on her due to the fact that she's a registered user and I can look at her info and stuff, but you on the other hand... you're accusing some anonymous person you've seen comment, what, a few times of being presumptuous. Apparently without reading the comments thoroughly.

I am much more careful and considerate than you are, in my opinion.
imugi: ([jo; tsukasa] lost in thought;)

[personal profile] imugi 2007-04-18 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
? ?

Sorry, I wasn't directly quoting you. And I wasn't trying to attack you, either. I just thought you could have been nicer about it... People seem to take "newb" as an insult, and I wouldn't like it much myself if that comment was directed at me.

I just don't see why people need to be categorized that way at all, rather than us all just enjoying it as it is. And if it's not that great now, like you said, then maybe someone will do something about it. I want more out of some fandoms, too.

Anyway, if I offended you, I am sorry. Like I said, it wasn't meant to be offensive. The hostility isn't really necessary.

(Anonymous) 2007-04-18 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
That's really horrible. Man, I'm sorry you had to experience that.

[identity profile] boooon.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
It's cool~! Means I have a brain and they don't 8F

[identity profile] queenie-z.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Kartia? Or something like that. I played a little bit and got bored. :x

(Anonymous) 2007-04-18 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
When people quote, they usually quote something. And there was nothing at all in this post that you seemed to be quoting, and those weren't the ideas I was trying to express at all, so I got a little defensive. I'm sorry.

Uh, I already explained that I didn't mean anything bad about it...?

The only reason I've categorized them at all, by saying "newb" or "newer to the fandom" was to say that perhaps they haven't looked back through all the posts of the community, seeing as it's reeeally large now. I thought it was better at the beginning, because like I said before, even generic posts were cool - because they were posts period. Now that the fandom is a little bigger, it's a little annoying to have what looks like the same post again and again.

Hmm, sorry. I just hate being called presumptuous, and I can't imagine why anyone would like it. I hope this is civil?

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?!

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. :(
imugi: ([tlk; simba] if you could only see;)

[personal profile] imugi 2007-04-18 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
It was probably a little presumptuous on my part, also. So I apologize, too. I suppose I can't really say if you know her yourself or not since you are anonymous-- but I do, and you can't really decide how long a person has been in a fandom by them stating that they like it, or by their interests.

So it just appeared that you were jumping to conclusions. Sorry about that.

Yeah... I can admit enough that fandoms seem to be better when they're a little smaller. I guess you just try to take those things in stride. I'm sure things might clear out a little if the initial popularity boost wears off, or someone can try initiating something else for a change.

Sorry for meeting on such strained circumstances, even if I don't know who you are.

[identity profile] longlongwaytogo.livejournal.com 2007-04-18 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
... 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

(Anonymous) 2007-04-18 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Like you stated, I already said I may or may not know her, but don't want to reveal it due to the fact that I'd like to remain anonymous. But to be completely honest and lose an aspect of my anonymity, you are the one jumping to conclusions here because I know she has not been in the fandom forever & I'm not just establishing that from interests or her stating that she likes it. So I have no idea why you are accusing me once again when you have no information on me or know who my flist is?

Uhh, yeah, these circumstances do kinda suck.

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 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
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.

[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.
