Well, either way it seems really wrong. Either she's saying 'look, the uke's not pretty, and in this scene he doesn't seem that passive! And the seme's short!' Which seems... accurate, but really shallow since that's not all the things that people complain about with yaoi, and according to you guys, the uke still is whiny uking about the place, and the superseme is a rapist. OR she's saying 'look! There's one uke and two semes, who are different!' Which... is a really pathetic 'change' in modern mangas if that's what she's pointing out.

And just curious what IS your Organization OTP? XD

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. It still kinda bothers me though. Oh well.

[longlongwaytogo.livejournal.com]

Oh and I should add, in mine... he's in the medieval era so he's not exactly a 'child' but he's still 'younger than me' :P

#10

10. I wanted to use my icon that has Axel saying 'I survived akuroku day!', but I can't. This year wasn't too bad, last year was just more rabid. I also remember a secret posted back saying they wish they day didn't exist. A little too harsh in my opinion, but no one's jealous. Don't be that silly, please. I'm not ashamed to say Axel/Roxas is one of my OTPs. I just don't read fanfiction or look at really cheesy art of them. That keeps me in denial on how badly they are butchered. I'm glad you're not in the fandom anymore if you're that immature, sorry to say it but it's true. I don't hate Axel/Roxas fans, I hate fanbrats of "akuroku".

[longlongwaytogo.livejournal.com]

This was my thought too. Like it in your own way.

KLSDAFALSDKF IT MIGHT AS WELL HAVE BEEN A SHOJO BECUASE HE HAD A VAGINA! NO CREATURE WITH BALLZ WOULD HAVE ACTED LIKE THAT DDD8<

:)

Noted for more proof that fandom is fucking misogynist.

Re: #10.

[cherrim.livejournal.com]

Haha, Axel/Marluxia.

:( If that ever became cute and fluffy like AkuRoku's become...I dunno what I'd do.

4. Chad is really awesome. He doesn't get the love he deserves!

9. Wow that's both sad and kinda hilarious.

10. Happy Axel/Roxas Day. It's just one of my OTPs...I pretty much have grown to an OT13 kinda gal myself.

[hako-neko.livejournal.com]

Exactly. :3

[hako-neko.livejournal.com]

I agree... the OP's friends sound sort of racist to me. Why can't people accept that you like it just because?

Re: #10.

[bouncy-erbear.livejournal.com]

...I don't think you can make that cute and fluffy...those two are way too conniving for that.

although I'm sure people could try *shudder*

Awesome pairing XD

... Excuse me while I fangirl your icon and then run away. >>

I know you're right, and there's not one thing I find sexy about real kids (usually I hate them, the whiny buggers), but I can't help it, it worries me anyway. I'm screwed enough as it is. The last thing I want is to end up a pedo on top of it all. :/

[ediblestars.livejournal.com]

As long as I can fangirl yours! QoW FTW. ♥

[(Anonymous)]

Good point.

[longlongwaytogo.livejournal.com]

Liking a character who is younger than you doesn't make you a pedo. One is a character. Where you're looking at them from a completely different angle to a real person. Often they're animated, or text only, so 'attractiveness' doesn't really come into it in the same way. Often they act WAY older than real kids would, because of a fantasy plot. Etc. Part of fiction is to have you be sympathetic/interested in the character.
I then look at *real* 16 year old boys and I'm like 'omg ewww NO!!!' if one of them mistakenly hits on me. But, something weird is I can look at kids, and go '... when I was younger, I'd find that guy really attractive'. but... he's not *actually* attractive.

Re: #10.

I see it in art of the two quite a bit, but luckily the fiction stays pretty snarky between the two. xD;

...haha, I just checked your profile and we have the same name. xD; That's so cool.

[countesszephyr.livejournal.com]

Hahah, I love your icon.

#20

#20 - Denial is a natural part of grieving. Lots and lots of people who don't even know what "fandom" is experience similar feelings when they lose a loved one -- I felt the same way when my best friend died of cancer when we were children, and again when my grandmother died when I was an adult. It frightened me, too, until I began to speak with others who were dealing with grief and realized that I wasn't alone.

There is no "right way" to deal with death or grief (although there are some harmful ways) -- it is a process, a journey, and every person goes through it in a different way. The only "wrong way" is not to move through those feelings, but even that part of the process is faster for some people than for others.

Don't be afraid and don't beat yourself up over how you feel, how you respond -- especially if the death is a recent one. Pain isn't logical. Loss doesn't follow rules. As a very wise woman once told me, "We all go a little crazy when we brush up against death."

If you think it will help you, see about finding a grief support group -- local hospitals or churches are good places to look. Draw close to people, find friends or strangers who you can trust enough to tell your feelings to. Don't be alone.

*hugs* Good luck. Be well.

Yea I thought that too :\ The racist part that is.

Re: #17

[anna-chronism.livejournal.com]

See, I haven't run into that problem through my few brief trips through the fandom. Maybe it's just because I stick to the Delirium side of it?

Though I'm really happy there have been more Sandman secrets lately! I'm trying to get my friend interested, but he won't bite.

[gaignun.livejournal.com]

9) Haha New York City doesn't have those. When I went to Washington DC and Baltimore for cons, the streets there had them and I was like WOAH COOL. :(

16 and 17

[quasar-dilema.livejournal.com]

16. YOU AND I BOTH MAN YOU AND I BOTH!

17. I'm not a pretentious Goth at all...not goth at all actually. And Sandman changed if not rocked my world!!! Its the greatest ever! I'm sure you can find others who love the series who arn't snobby...yay! sandman secret! *squee*

[jaina.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Chad is half Mexican, half Japanese.

...

That's all I can really contribute to this thread. XD
