4. Not all men who like loli are pedos. I had a friend (who graduated 2 years ago) who was so into that, but I never saw him as a pedo.

2. I'm not that far on Death Note yet, but Rem and her relationship with Misa is interesting.

12. wow... I didn't think anyone else thought that way XD;;;

24. I've though that before :>
They just seem to get along better, to me...

10. Yes! I always worry about telling someone I like the movies cause I'm 20, and I get the "But you're supposed to be mature" and stuff. I can be mature and still like stuff like HSM and HSM2. (I cried too at the second one. It was so CUTE!)

HEI FANCY MEETING U HEER

You Are Back by aquarina-chan on DevArt (http://aquarina-chan.deviantart.com/art/You-are-back-40753730). Don't much care for the pairing, it's hard to forget seeing a pic like that, it's so well-done. :3

[(Anonymous)]

I was pmsing and the "Gotta Go my Own Way" song came on. :P

[linen-tartaruga.livejournal.com]

XD

I just linked someone else to it, may as well link it here too. I always see it whenever I'm looking for FMA art on DevArt.

14- YES YES YES. Totally sunk my ship too. XD


19- ARRGH SHE'S TERRIFYING. Ew ew ew. I'll be going and eating as much as I can now. Ick ick ick. Can't believe anyone would PAY HER.

[linen-tartaruga.livejournal.com]

1. It's even worse when they pull that kinda stuff in a series that doesn't even take place in Japan. Sometimes the only reason characters speak a certain language is because that's the language of the person that wrote it, not because they actually speak it. :|b

17. I actually really like that picture too, though I'm not a fan of the pairing really at all. But yeah, that happening would've been so out of place in the movie; even in the series. The romantic relationships, for the most part, have always been pretty much non-existent in favor of the actual plot because it would just get in the way.

[rekallthegreat.livejournal.com]

15. KuroFay is already the most popular pairing in the fandom. It doesn't need more fans. However I don't think their relationship would change if one of them were female. Just because someone's gender changes doesn't mean their personality will. If Kurogane was female, he'd still get annoyed with Fay all the time for the first half of the series and still do anything to save Fay's life during Acid Tokyo. Come to think of it, if you leave off the angst part het!KuroFay would be a lot like Sorata/Arashi.

16. DtB is awesome! It needs more fans. Ditch Bleach for it! :P

[enjolras.livejournal.com]

1. Yeah, it kind of weirds me out when people say they pronounce L's name as "eru" in real life. :\ IT'S JUST "L".

8. Just wanted to say... I agree about the compliment things. :S

9. LAND BEFORE TIME ROOOOCKS. ♥ I was so obsessed with it as a kid~ I loved the songs!

17. Ooooh, very pretty picture. :DDDDDD But if that had happened, it'd be kind of.... random, lol.

[aviy.livejournal.com]

5. VARILY. Not that I've watched G-Wing recently enough to say one way or another, but a lot of great female characters get that =\ I kind of want to smack a bitch when I see Aeris insulted for being a mary-sue or Tifa insulted for being Not-Aeris. argh \o/ Their both fantastic female characters without need of Cloud or super powers to define them by. And I'm glad there is someone out there who plays Relena and does it well and gives the character some credit.

8. .........4-chan with pictures you say.

11. *pats*

20. I like it when I like reading my own fanfic =\

[aeris-888.livejournal.com]

#16 I like that series, sadly, I'm not really loving it as much as I wish I could; it feels too much like a pale imitation of cowboy bebop, IMO.*shrugs* I also find Hei a wee bit bland. Now, if the lead characters were November 11 and Misaki, I'd probably be all over it. XD

#24 Yeah, I felt that way too when I used to watch this show.

[demyx.livejournal.com]

1. Is it sad that my first reaction to that secret was "NEEDS MOAR DESU?!"

Every time I see the word "desu", I think of that. It's a wonder I can even watch Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni, since Rika ends half of her sentences with "desu".

15. I thought it was the other way around? That is Fai and Kurogane was a het pairing, it'd be... less popular? or maybe I'm just reading the secret wrong, which in that case I will lern2read and go back to grade school. Either way, I agree - it is the dynamics that makes most pairings popular.

19. Is there some new fad to blame eating disorders on fandom? Fandom didn't make you do anything, you and your inability to get help for your disorder is what is causing your anorexia.

[soaker87.livejournal.com]

4- It's possible to like lolicon with out being a pedo.

20. So do I. I write the kind of thing I'd enjoy reading myself.

22. What's wrong with 13 year-olds at cons? I was around that age at my first con.

[henada.livejournal.com]

#2

I read it all the way to the end, but other then that I think I could have made this secret.
I love Rem. She's my favorite character in the series, and it makes me so sad that more people don't love her.
All the attention is directed to the boys, and I love the boys, but come on. You know?

Poor baby.

#17

Oh my god. I totally agree. I don't love them really, but they make me extremely warm and fuzzy, and if it had been made cannon, I don't think that fuzziness would have stayed. It was so much more... professional for them to be implied. It would have caused a lot more drama and have been unnecessary.

[icarus_suraki]

I know that feeling. So very well. I'm 25 myself, too. I was one of the younger ones there when I went to my first con at age fifteen. Have I gotten older or have cons aged down? I still enjoy them, so I don't think I'm going to give them up.

And it's really fun to go to the dealers' room with some real money now that I'm older and have a real income.

5: It's cool you came to like a character you once hated, but please don't become condescending over it. Maybe that's not your intent, but could you be very careful to not trash yaoi fans in expressing your love for Relena or het in general? Since as far as I knew, it's not a necessary part of becoming an adult for EVERYONE to fall in line and love het pairings or characters (male or female) that some people have good reason for being annoyed with.

For example, I do NOT like Meryl Stryfe in Trigun. I can barely tolerate her even with the best of writers (lilithisbitter, Glass Bullet), and with almost any other writer (especially from the subset of fanwriters whose characterization of "Meryl's a repressed submissive fembot who just wandered in from 'Sex in the City'," depressingly describes a LOT of the Vash x Meryl smut).

This doesn't make me any less of even a fan (I just prefer the canon incarnation where she's better written and around less), and it certainly doesn't make me any less of a person or an adult. (I'll tell you if I'm ever carded on my shipping prefs. ^_^). It just makes me someone who doesn't like Meryl Stryfe or the Vash x Meryl pairing in general, and since there's many people who DO, there's no need to be upset about one who doesn't.

15: Y halo thar, gender roles! I'm a yaoi/slash fan. When I argue that a pairing would be more popular if the characters were opposite genders, I'm assuming the dynamics stay exactly the same. And yes, IMO, it IS that squick over "ewww plz nooo not THAT" that divides a lot of the angrier shipping lines in fandom.

19: Is it just me, or are a lot these ana secrets bragging about how thin the OP is? Seriously, WTF. Yes, you're not a "fat weeaboo." We get it. Now go eat some food (or go starve, I don't care).

16. Darker than Black...like Cowboy Bebop? That's a new one.

3.

[rilani.livejournal.com]

Thats just how I feel about Noein.

[halevy.livejournal.com]

2. I wanted to cry when Rem died. I thought it was nicely animated, too. ;-; And nobody cared...

16. kfeshkjheakhf Darker than BLACK is awesome. I'm loving it (even if the Huang arc ended... in a retarded way... and that arc with the Yakuza kid and doll...) I love Kirihara, MI-6, Amber, Hei, Huang, Mao, Yin, Wei, Saitou, Kouno (WHERE DID HE GO?) and Eric Nishijima (lol @ his name). Ugh, can I say I love them all? I love how Hei is just a bland character who is changing because of the stuff that have been occurring. I still want Amber/Hei and Saitou/Kouno to happen. D:

[wazira-sharira.livejournal.com]

20. I do too, occasionally. I think liking what you write is an important part of writing. If YOU don't like what you write, you don't expect anyone else to. But if you do like what you write, at least one person is happy.

[eli-artemisia.livejournal.com]

Ah! Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou! <33333

[longlongwaytogo.livejournal.com]

9. awwww! :D I think I did a similar thing with that movie.
18. If you're willing to out yourself, you can always come and tell us about them and ask for fanfic on the comm heard_of_it.
