The wtf secret is borked.

1. XD I love you!

4. Pullman's a good author, but the whole anti-religion thing really screwed up the third book, IMHO. Plus like you said, the whining doesn't really help.

17. But what about all the people who get wrongfully convicted?

Its okay. It happens.

His voice though still makes me *blush*

16. I'm a total Cerberus Project whore but dljflsdjf ARGH I HATE SHIWOOS. I don't even know why, but... you are not alone! D: I do like Els though.

4. don't be ashamed! i'm an atheist too and narnia is one of my favourite book series of all time. it's just ... sigh, i can't even begin to describe it. ♥

and i never knew pullman didn't like narnia. that's ... wow, minus 1000 respect points, right there.

16. the really big dollfies scare the crap out of me.

lol wut

omg yes ilu.

And everytime someone goes "WELL THEY SAY EDO AND ARU IN THE SHOW :D" I want to go into some lengthy rant about how it's pretty clear that the language of the setting is not Japanese, and it's simply being presented in Japanese because that's the language of the target audience, et cetera. If I read a novel that's written in English but taking place in France, just because they're speaking English on the page to me doesn't mean I'm not going to be operating under the assumption that they're really speaking French, and it's just being shown in English for my convenience.

But I suck at trying to articulate that argument and I'm, y'know. Lazy. :D

16. A++.

I'm an atheist, and I agree. My mother and I have even argued about it. (She thinks that Narnia ended on a let down because she's an atheist. I thought HDM's end was more of a letdown because I'm an atheist.) I enjoyed the first two books of the trilogy and didn't care for the way the third went.

And yeah, the Narnia bashing bothers me too. It made me really unhappy when I read an interview that was several pages of Pullman grinding his axe.

Oh yeah. Pullman hates Narnia. I actually read an interview with him where he goes on about it before I ever read his books. Which really made me not want to read his series; the only reason I ended up doing it was because my mom asked me to. And I think she was disappointed when I didn't think they were better than Narnia. :(

4. You shouldn't be ashamed or scared to admit that! Being an atheist should have no real impact on what you read. Heck, I'm an atheist and I read the Bible sometimes because I find it interesting and I think the morals in it are good. :)

19. Indeed they are! :3

I am so with you. I really liked the first two books of that series, and the third book just annoyed the hell out of me most of the time. I don't like having religion preached to me by my fiction. I sure don't like anti-religion being preached at me either. -.-

13. I always felt that Amestris (spelling) in FMA was based on 1930's Germany, so I actually feel like they're speaking a German-like language (well English is Germanic) but that still means that I feel that "Edo" and "Aru" are stupid, stupid, stupid. D:

3. Lol sentiments felt! I came to the conclusion that if a J-pop singers a Johny, then he cant sing. But then pop sounds the same everywhere.

9. I so love the fact that there's an Alan Rickman/Snape secret every other post. Keep it up people!

12. Aww

16. Lol dollfies.

17. There's really no absolute right and wrong as far as Raito's concerned. I think the bottom line is that he eventually lets competition and power get the better of him.

3. Your opinion does not equal a secret. Just because you hate something means it's true. (I don't listen to them, I don't like JE stuff but seriously, they're popular for something.)

4. I agree Pullman really should shut his mouth but HDM is my favorite series ever. I have Narnia but for some reason I'm more pulled into HDM than Narnia. Both are great on their own. Pullman, shut up lol. You make your fans look like shit.

13. Fucking signed. Do I know you? ;D

16. What are those things called again? I really dislike them... they're so creepy.

17. I wouldn't. :/ Imagine punching somebody who's been pissing you off and living with the constant fear you're going to get punished for it? We'd be living with restrictions, as far as I believe.

18. People think being the "Internet tough guy" is cool. Some people are... some aren't. :I

6. ISN'T FLYING FUCKING AWESOME. I stopped leveling (which is fucking boring,) to fly around aimlessly.
9. Heehee.
12. That guy has a big ego, though- I've come to note.

LOL ofcourse right? It's Alan Rickman!!

Spoilers, highlight to read:

I'm not terribly excited for the first movie. Though I liked the books, I didn't find them terribly epic, and while the movies could have made them so, and tactfully, that doesn't appear to be what they'll do. Just the way the actor's speak their lines is terribly unnatural and dripping with what was doubtlessly supposed to be noble humility but came out sort of arrogantly, in my opinion.

14. They are a hot pair. Molotov Cocktease is awesome.

15. That sounds like fun. The guys in your pic though, weren't they on Where in the World is Carmen Sandiago? I hope you get the courage someday. It sounds like a cute dream. :D

19. IAWTS and the little text posted under it. Luigi is cuter. And Mr. L is made of awesome. ;D

Also, with wtf secret, what game or whatever is that girl from?

No worries. Before Raito went off the edge, I would have agreed with you. So would some others. (http://community.livejournal.com/death_note/46443.html)

14. I'm like 85% sure I know who you are, but I'll pimp it anyway~

deathmance

Damn Straight!!! i love him *heart-eyes*

Did we learn nothing from the FMA secret? It's Light, not Raito. Raito sounds just as weeaboo as saying Aru or Edo.

3. Hmm...I don't really know what this fandom is, but you wrote "talentless" and then "trained to sing well". Contradicting yourself, lulz. XD

8. Amen, I totally agree with you. Books 1-3 were great, and it was so easy to sit there just such a thrill and a desire finish the page to see what was going to happen next, but it took me almost two years to finish GoF because I kept stopping. I just couldn't get through it, and one day I finally was able to tug through it when it got a bit more interesting the second half. OotP was even worse! I'm still on the first few chapters, and have been for at least a year. 8/ I'll be 30 by the time I finish the HP series, if ever. It just got so bloody boring after Azkaban!

13. ...Aja? XD;; ~~oh god, what's with the "PPL", hun?~~ ...and if this is someone else, oh c'mon. :P Who is to say that ENGLISH even exists in the world of Hagaren then? Automatically making English terms the default language just because there is no Japan mentioned is pretty hypocritical.

17. Well, you're certainly not alone. Even when he was killing "people just doing their jobs", I still totally agreed with him. :3 I don't care what it says about me, but I can never understand people who ever looked as Light as a "villain" of any sort.

tee hee.

*be my BNF!*

3. I kind of like JE, but... I think they all sound exactly the same too. I can't tell them apart. XD;
