Edward G. Robinson FTW!! Love that guy!

[cold-river-blue.livejournal.com]

he didn't seem to "get" that she was only pretending (during the first Games) for the sake of the Games when that was so obvious to me.

Well, yeah, it was supposed to be obvious to the reader. That's why it was literally spelled out several times in the books. We were getting all of our information from Katniss' POV, so of course we'd be more in tune with how she's thinking about something. If you basically tell someone you love them, and they basically tell you that back (even under extreme circumstances) it's not that odd to believe them.

Well I don't even have a LJ account, I just go on here because I like reading secrets.

Whatever works for you and all that. I personally have never been into Diablo-types, but I got way too invested in the Mass Effect universe - and been told that the choices from ME1&2 will matter in 3. Hoping that holds true. Even if not, I'll probably still enjoy ME3 more than is healthy.

There are a looot of problems with this webcomic (a lot, which everyone in this thread basically covered anyway) but one thing that confuses me is this "rape as love" crit. As far as I could see it, there's no rape involved--just bad (but consenting) decisions about sleeping with an asshole. Last I checked, knowingly agreeing to sex with an asshole =/= rape?

[honestys-easy.livejournal.com]

Is there a Fandom Secrets bingo card? Because if there is, "Cassie Clare secret" has to be one of the squares.

[(Anonymous)]

It's one of the best feelings in the world, isn't it? People saying this is pathetic or shouldn't feel good are lying. I love seeing people who were assholes to me get in dead-end marriages or fat or something.
*puts on fat wank goggles in preparation*

This one-man PR campaign for Cassie Claire is embarrassing.

Some people are too lazy to make an account.
People like me.

I love that movie. That's a great character, so no need for that to be a secret!

[ragnarok-hound.livejournal.com]

A hell of a lot of "WTF self, that is so weird" secrets today. I'm starting to understand why people hate it.

[(Anonymous)]

probably because even the most assholish of assholes still have relationships and get married. it isn't something exclusive to nice people.

and in a society that values looks above personality, it can be confusing to see people of, how do you say this politely, 'lesser' looks getting into relationships when others act like a repellent to anybody of the opposite gender.

i know from experience. i like to think i'm a fairly nice person, but many guys look at me as nothing more than a friend because i'm not what you would call 'pretty'. i can see it in their eyes as soon as they meet me. there's no sexual/romantic interest there. they take one look and think 'well, she ain't hot. tick her off the interest list'.

[misty-days.livejournal.com]

I think the semi-interaction of English speaking fans and Japanese fans is probably why the English speaking fandom seems like it's huge and should be more active on LJ.

The T&B fandom in Japan (finally lost some holds on the illustration/manga rankings due to UtaPuri but still dominating in the novels/fanfics rankings in pixiv) is probably four or five times the size of the T&B English speaking fandom and Tumblr leeches off of pixiv. There's just way more material coming from Japan which keeps tumblr's T&B tag busy at all times which ends up making the T&B fandom in the English speaking world seem bigger than it really is.

I'm not really sure if this "Japan posts stuff, tumblr reposts" stuff counts as a proper interaction though. It's more like an one-sided interaction in a way.

This game has haters? Seriously? I can see how it's not for everybody, but...

[rosehiptea.livejournal.com]

I see your point, but he still knew cameras were focused on them the whole time, with no chance for her to say anything. And he must have known he blindsided her with the whole thing since they didn't know each other very well. Plus he set it up publicly as a crowd-pleaser, so I still don't get why he would be surprised she took up the "story" without being sincere.

To be fair he did realize later that he shouldn't have acted like he did over it, but even though I grew to like him later for a while I couldn't help wanting her to stay the heck away from him.

[shinyhappypanic.livejournal.com]

made me lol

[cold-river-blue.livejournal.com]

I think Peeta comes off as perfect because the book is narrated by Katniss

This is dead on. I don't think we're supposed to view Katniss as a reliable narrator - she's a young girl going through hell, not an outside, analytical voice. It's like when people say Prim is sue-ish because she's so perfect. But she's not really perfect, she's just a sweet little girl whose older sister thinks she's perfect. It's part of the reason that I dislike the first person narrative in the later books; we miss out on a lot of nuance by seeing things only through Katniss' point of view.

[4thofeleven.livejournal.com]

I honestly think she'd be a good choice - she is, if nothing else, one of the few characters who seems to be actually learning from her mistakes...

[wake-the-dragon.livejournal.com]

I'm kind of on the fence about this as well.

Madge was a good character and while I wasn't as interested in her as other characters (like Johana) I would have liked to have seen more of her and her friendship with Katniss. On the other hand, the author did her best to make the war as realistic as possible, so there had to been some named characters who would have to die.

Alors On Danse!

[jewelia13.livejournal.com]

Hee. I've got Dal*Shabet, Chi Chi, SNSD, Miss A, After School 2NE1... and then stuff like Nightwish, Kamelot, Arch Enemy, Dimmu Borgir, etc. I've also got Stromae, Manu Chao, Alizee, Piotr Rubik, Destiny's Child, Sarah Brightman, Nicki Minaj, Sex Pistols, Morrissey, The Smiths, The Birthday Massacre... Personally, I have more respect for people who listen to a lot of genres instead of getting pigeonholed.

[vitani]

I'm with you. We miss out on a lot because of the choice to have it in first person.

[ninety6tears.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't feel 100% comfortable coming to this comic's defense about...most things, really, it's a huge guilty pleasure of mine, but...I always laugh at the comments I see about it supposedly not having a plot. Last I looked at it it was only in the second chapter, which is where a lot of stuff can still be in exposition, and there were a fuck-ton of unanswered questions brought up in only that amount. Like, I wouldn't read a yaoi comic expecting plot, and I thought there seemed to be some kind of plan forming. But given that the updates are pretty slow (are they compared to other webcomics, I don't really know), the story feels like it slags a bit. And still I'm just kind of LOLing at all the "My porn is so slow"!

Rock on, you crazy diamond.

[false-alexis.livejournal.com]

Yes, they are assholes, as are many of the minor characters. And that's why I love the show. OP, you're just really confusing to me- What, exactly, are you whining about? You're saying that 'Not everyone in fandom agrees that they're assholes,' so what? People are allowed to be wrong.
