LULZ. IAWTC. Sometimes, nothing cheers you up more than badly-written porn.

Yes, and I'd top. It's the jacket really....

9) THANK. YOU.

I myself have an autistic brother and a sister with aspergers syndrome. Nothing is guaranteed to piss me off more than some dunderhead twit who labels a character a certain mental handicap and claims they 'know' it fits.

To them I say: YOU DON'T 'KNOW' WHAT IT'S LIKE UNTIL YOU LIVE WITH SOMEONE LIKE THAT.

Grrrr.

[mysticnocturne.livejournal.com]

1. I have got to play that game soon. D:

9. Hey. Hey, fandom. L is not autistic (and while I'm at it, no, he's not half-shinigami, either). Believe it or not, fandom? He's just weird. No, seriously. It really is possible for a character to be strange without having any disorders, I swear.

That being said, thanks, OP. Definitely on your side.

[taistoi.livejournal.com]

You and me both, 38! The only thing better than a lol brought about by badfic is a lol brought about by a sporking of badfic!

yes YES YES.
OH GOD I AGREE. I loved Thumbelina to bits, i really did, but there was always something about the mother toad that just made me go ghfdjghdfjg i LOVED her character, and the way she dressed and spoke and MOVED. Oh Gosh i want to watch that movie all over again now *_*

[nanakibh.livejournal.com]

25. People like him BECAUSE he's scary. XD I can't get enough of that scream... Or... is it a laugh? XDD

3. HOLY SHIT AN ENZAI SECRET?! This is in severe lack of a fandom. ;-; And wow... that was your first anime? Wow. Just wow.
9. Okay, wait.. nevermind. I misread the secret. You are okay if the mental disorder is canon. (Like, Kimi Ga Nozomo Eien, the anime my icon is based off, was written to tackle PTSD)
15. OMG my sister and I were just watching the "Let Me Be Your Wings" scene on YouTube last night, she commented on how it's her favorite movie, I commented on how much the song sounds like "A Whole New World" lol
16. I used to say the same thing, but now that I know what shipping is, I tend to think I did have a few OTPs as a child (*cough*Aladdin/Jasmine*cough*)

9. I'm surprised at how much this image is used for Death Note secrets.

16. I like the picture you used here.

20. LOL.

38. HAHAHAHAHAH ICHIRUKI AT ITS BEST WORST BEST. I did laugh, thank you. :D

35.

[yuriranch.livejournal.com]

OH YES! Ar Tonelico is pretty obscure, so it's expected to have little to no fandom (there are iconers that do some AT icons)

13

[ccmeaka.livejournal.com]

Oh god, me too. *lurks* Of course, I'm too intimidated to actually go anywhere, which is my problem for the one RP I'm in now. 8D;

Join us? Please? 8D We're really nice! Don't be intimidated. :o

who is he?

Re: 19

[aishiteru.livejournal.com]

Vic Mignogna. He's probably best known for voicing Ed in Full Metal Alchemist, but I think he also did Dark in D.N.Angel and a whole bunch of different things.

2 - I honestly had no real interest in the game either; aside from "that Cloud and Sephiroth thing" that I heard vague things about, I knew jack about FFVII.
But then when I saw the trailers for the movie, I was hooked -- it looked so cool. And it is -- visually, it's much more appealing. Plotwise, though... well, it's kinda hard to understand without the background of the game, and you really can't expect an hour and a half movie to develop the characters as much as 80-some odd hours of gameplay do. Even so, though, the movie was got me into the fandom in the first place, and it gave me the impetus to play the game, so I have a wee bit of a soft spot for it.

Bottom line: Nope, it doesn't make you lame at all. At least you've had the experience of both to be able to say as much.

5 - Guuhhhhhhh, Maleficent. Hottest. Disney villain. EVER.

You know, that's kinda funny, 'cause on all their albums it's spelled "Zeppelin." I'm honestly interested in knowing what difference the distinction makes.

23 OP.

[(Anonymous)]

The difference? "Zepplin" is not a word, and it's such an important band to the whole of the music industry that it's an insult for it to be misspelt.

[yui-hime.livejournal.com]

The art is beautiful! What platform is it for?

Re: 35

[rmarques.livejournal.com]

It's for Playstation two, altough there's also a manga, OVA and several drama CDs, according to Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ar_tonelico)

RE: 11

[rmarques.livejournal.com]

If you love him so much... Then why bash him? Seriously, I don't get it. o__O

Re: 11

[(Anonymous)]

not the op but

a lot of fans bash characters not because they actually hate them, but because it's the only way to fit in to fandom (see: Relena from GW).

[meganubunny.livejournal.com]

Space cases has a fandom? Holy shit. What have I been missing?

[rilani.livejournal.com]

1. And Capcom hates you too.<3

4. Because I skipped over those chapters. :D *SHOT DEAD*

8. OMG SHE'S AN OTAKU WHO'S LAZY SHE'Z JUST LIKE MEEEEEE!!1!111 <3

9. I read articles about mental disorders for character ideas. I'm such a horrible person, and I apologise. D':

10. I watched an episode of Ouran solely for a fact that a secondary character was voiced by Shigenori Yamazaki. (Souga, Mmmm.)

16. Same here. I never really embraced the idea of a non-canon couple until I got into fandom, myself.

25. BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

31. Gosh, my character crushes have given me such high standards I really believe that I'm going to die alone.

Re: 9

[sparklemagpie.livejournal.com]

Hey, seriously, if you do your research well and you don't treat those disorders you're drawing ideas from as a tack-on accessory? Go you for taking an interest. I have built a character around the symptoms of PTSD before, I don't think there's anything wrong with building off a particular disorder for a character base.

It's when people talk about 'lol, this character is so autistic' and 'omg, I must be bipolar hee' as if it's some kind of trendy damn thing and not a real serious disorder that pisses me off. And I think that's what the OP was meaning about people misusing disorders in fandom and thinking that wiki knows everything.

The people who don't bother to do any serious research and just talk about it like Autism or PTSD are hats that looks nice of a particular character.

But really, if you take the subject matter seriously, ILU. <3

35. Ar Tonelico! \o/ I never felt the burning need to read or write fanfic for it, but it's always nice to know that someone's played it.

38. There is no shame in enjoying the lulz that badfic brings! It can be quite hilarious. I mean, I certainly know that my life would be just that much more dreary if I had never read about Darth Vader marrying Sailor Venus, for example.

Page 4 is mine! /o/

[bad-luck-bird.livejournal.com]

Oddly enough, being in fandom for oh so long has made me despise ships. It only just ever ended in drama when I made a remark about a particular pairing I liked.
