[ Anon Meme ]

[case]

F!S Anon Meme (the Seventh, and now on DW!)

Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff.

Unpopular Ships
Obligatory Masturbation Thread
Fandoms you wish existed
How old are you?
What series have you always meant to watch/read/play/etc. but have never?
Time and location
Female-centric works
How do you feel about Tumblr?
Pet thread
Guilty pleasure thread
Favorite old shows
First fandom?

Re: Tenimyu

[douleur]

Rewatching the musicals, I've just finished Dream Live 1st. I forgot about the sheer amount of fanservice. Inui: *looking at picture of Ooishi* "What were you looking at, Ooishi?" Ooishi: "In my fishtank, I found a small Eiji." Inui: "That explains it. Look at this!" *displays picture of Ooishi making smoochy face* Kikumaru: *hides* Inui: "What exactly is between you two?" Ooishi: "I guess we can't hide anything from you, Inui." Enough fanservice to drown in! It doesn't matter how many times I watch it, I always flail gleefully during Dream Live 1st.

You're not the only person who comes late to fandoms. Actually, TeniPuri is one of the very few fandoms I've actually managed to find while it was still big. I'm usually one of those people who stumbles upon fandoms way after the fact. Or (more often nowadays) I find something I love in Japanese, only to discover that it's not available in English and, in fact, there's no English-language fandom. And goodness knows I have no idea how to find the Japanese fandom online. *sighs*

I don't follow New Prince of Tennis. I've actually only read the original TeniPuri manga up through volume 24 (Kantou Tournament Rikkai D1), and I didn't manage to get my hands on the subsequent volumes before I had to leave Japan. And since I a) refuse to read scans and b) refuse to read out of order, I'm kind of... stuck. I always keep my eye out when I can get to Japanese bookstores, but Little Tokyo is just too far out of my way to go very often. *sighs*

Ouch, Date, not a good move. I hadn't heard about that. And I really like his Ootori. x.x To be fair, though, I understand it. Tenimyu has certainly launched some careers, but I'm sure the actors want to move past it, you know? You don't want your biggest acting success to be one of your earliest major roles. No point in living in the past, you know? On the other hand, you can pay homage to the past without living in it. If you're invited to a Tenimyu event, you really should go. And if you don't, you say it's because of a scheduling conflict or something, not because you don't want to go. -.0; What do they say? A gaffe is when a politician tells the truth? I suppose the same could be said of popular actors with regard to their work.

Re: karaoke, while I can't say I've filled an entire night with solely Tenimyu songs, I can say that I've done a full night of karaoke singing nothing but TeniPuri-related songs, which of course included Tenimyu songs. I didn't realize it at first, but there's a huge amount of music from the anime--not just opening and ending songs, but character songs and such, too, where the voice actors sing. (Ooishi's seiyuu has a remarkably good singing voice!) I, er, may have a few of those CDs, too. x.x I admit, I'm a sucker for merchandise, too. When I was at the musical, I strictly limited my memorabilia budget and still wound up buying a program, several CDs, and photo sets for the Golden Pair. I still regret not getting any Rikkai photo sets, too, but... budget. Sigh.

I think I'm about to out-geek you here: I've had dreams of acting in Tenimyu. As in, asleep at night dreams. The only time I've ever dreamed in Japanese has been for Tenimyu dreams. And I've only ever had them after watching a large amount of Tenimyu in a short period of time. But maybe that means I have some Tenimyu dreams in my near future? I hope so, those dreams are awesome.

...God, what a dork I am. *hides*
