1. How bad is the plot for this game? I enjoyed the first two wholeheartedly!

19. Hurhur, I'm seeing him next year! Boy, this will be interesting!

32. Now I need to see this!

36. OH YES! She rocks my socks off!

and lol, my sekrit.

1.)

It spits in the face of people who loved the first three. It really is awful.

SPACE CASES!!! >:D

(Okay, a not-so-secret of my own: I hated Radu with a fiery passion. And I resented Suzee for taking Catalina's place. BUT I CAN STILL APPRECIATE A GOOD SPACE CASES SECRET THUMBS UP ♥ )

Re: 29

[happy-cupcake.livejournal.com]

Oh, you too? I missed Catalina too and Suzee just seemed way too sue-ish (not that I knew what that was when I watched it) for my tastes.

4: I &heart; them as well, and it is sad that they don't get as much attention by the fandom, but at the same time I think it's understandable. They've had a full series + a decent length story arc about them in a different series. The same way people prefer KuroFai over TRC! SyaoSaku, it mostly stems from the fact that they are the few new characters who haven't already had a full story, a set ending, making them somewhat more interesting to seasoned CLAMP fans. This isn't true for everyone, of course, but that seems to be the case a lot of the time.
And I personally like them a bit better in RG Veda, if only because Yasha gets more panel time, but that's another story altogether. ♥

9: Because so many people don't want him involved, it's basically guarenteed he'll get a major character, namely Tamaki. It happened for TRC, it'll happen again I tell you. D8

I read RG Veda after the Shura arc, and somehow that version of them wasn't as...powerful to me? I dunno. It didn't hit me as hard. Still lovely, definitely. But I prefer them in TRC.
And yeah, poor Yasha xD;

[beloved-tree.livejournal.com]

29, SO MUCH WITH THE YES. Also, how psyched am I that I'm not the only one alive who remembers this show?

Harlan needed to DIAF.

[blizzardseason]

YO, 23.

That is seriously a foolproof test.

I approve.

[(Anonymous)]

8. get out plz

18. I've only got 1 MB of Touhou pics, and I haven't played the games (I should have gotten another PC! >:( ) but that doesn't stop me from being in the fandom (sort of). And you totally WIN for using Sakuya in your pic.

8 (OP)

[(Anonymous)]

lololol.
Nothing serious, just don't like it. It's not like I'll hate the person afterwards.
:DDD

[enjolras.livejournal.com]

1. Guuuuuh, I can't wait to play this game! D8<

2. I don't think so. You made the effort to actually go out and buy the games, so I think what you did is pretty cool. Kudos to you~ And you're entitled to your own opinion.

9. IAWTS. It makes me mad too because it's really stupid to say that.

15. OMG THUMBELINA. ♥

19. DDDD: I'M SO AFRAID NOW. I like Vic's voice, but he wouldn't really suit anybody in Host Club.

35. Pretty art. :DD!

37. I REALLY need to get into Avatar. D:

[jewbrat.livejournal.com]

37. I REALLY need to get into Avatar. D:



YES. YOU DO. NOW.

[ex-parle.livejournal.com]

oh god please no :/

tl;dr.

[moving.livejournal.com]

9 I'm sure the idea can be stirred to no end, but sensibly doing what he does (solving a murder case for example) would be close to impossible if he was autistic, wouldn't it? It's fairly obvious L doesn't have autism, but he also fits the description. At least on paper. I'm sure meeting someone with the condition in real life would change any fanbrat's opinion.

It is, however, interesting to question the similarities. I assume this happens a lot with L because he's just so weird that it's difficult to fully wrap your mind around it without using terms we're familiar with. We're human - it's only natural for us to search for logical explanations. It's how we evolve in the first place. We want to understand. We want to know how and why things are the way they are so we can draw our own conclusions.

Sometimes we just try too hard.

The cast of Death Note (& certain other series) is extreme as it is, don't you think? Albeit none of them are as unique as L. Near with his toys, Mello with his chocolate, Kira with his faces and so on. It doesn't mean they have disorders or medical conditions, no matter how batshit crazy they appear to be. It does make them interesting subjects to discuss, though.

I think drawing lines between fiction and reality is our way of trying to understand characters. You can't deny part of L's personality perhaps would fit the Wikipedia description of autism, but claiming he actually is autistic? Yeah, no.

Re: tl;dr.

[mysticnocturne.livejournal.com]

Cue obnoxiously loud applause, and also, your icon should not amuse me nearly as much as it does.

[luna-kitsu-blu.livejournal.com]

I SHIP IT :DDDD

Re: 4

[thepinkangel.livejournal.com]

...Dude, we just have much in frikkin' common, what is this xDDD;;;

YOU'RE AWESOME. ♥

9.

[of-melsh.livejournal.com]

I definitely am with you there. It's gotten to where I drop out of games if there's a sudden influx of disorders that make no damn sense. I don't need special snowflakes in my games. I see it enough on a daily basis with people who are real and dealing with *insert illness here*. Broaden characters with some tasty imaginative background or quirks but let's cut back on the "omg fad disorder of the month is so _____" junk.

15, 38

[mxcreepy.livejournal.com]

15. Oh god, ♥! Now I need to go rent that. D: JUST FOR HER.

38. Uhhh, that broke my brain. But it was so worth it. ♥

31

[omphale]

I'm looking at my f-list, and I don't think it's obvious at all. Because who wouldn't have a crush on all of them?

Re: 31

[(Anonymous)]

Because who wouldn't have a crush on all of them?

Well, that's exactly what I think. ^^ But I'm not on your flist, although I read your stuff a lot (I don't comment often because I'm an appalling lurker, so here's my anonymous blanket love of your stuff). :)

[blackbubbletea.livejournal.com]

17. Ohhh yeah. I cried too.

27. Yeeeeeaaaah. The fandom...it's...an interesting one. For me, though, the few awesome people make up for the suck.

36. I think she's just about the most adorable thing ever.

[inksmears]

2) I... found the movie really boring. And it made me not want to play FF7 EVEN MORE.

11) I loved Vaan! I'm so sad everyone hates him... He was great. And Tidus, too! Why does everyone hate those characters? I loved them. :(

13) HAHAHAHA! As helper mod in that roleplay, this made me laugh a lot. though i'm kinda sick of hearing about GU now because of it

19) Vic is a good actor, if nothing else...

21) .... MAKE ME UNSEE IT. D:

37) Azula, next to Toph and Iroh, is THE best character in Avatar. For serious. I love her. ♥

38

[mireia-antonina.livejournal.com]

A+. Would LOL again.

By the way, if bad!fic's what you're in the market for, have you ever read Doom: Repercussions of Evil down at the pit? t's pretty much the definition of awesoemly bad. (And the dramatic reading just makes it even better: http://fanfiction.ytmnd.com/)

Re: 38 (OP)

[(Anonymous)]

Holy crap, that YTMND was amazing!

*still drying off my tears*

And then John was a zombie. HAHAHAHAHA!

[tafkae.livejournal.com]

13. Do I know you? I've had this same feeling a couple times, but all I know about the .hack series at all is what I've seen in Econtra...
35. Thanks for the rec! That looks really interesting, I may try it out when I've got some money.
38. Damn, you're right. XD Now I want to go MST something.

re: 13

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think that I know you, so I'm pretty sure we're not acquainted :O! Sorry~.

20, 38

[fishie]

20. Signed. ♡

38. I lol'd. ☆ Way to make my day.

[xfwee.livejournal.com]

1. What an awful dorky uke errand-boy with an overly masculine voice. I LOVE HIM FOREVERRRRRRR ;D

[kurenai-tenka.livejournal.com]

3- ...god that OVA sucked. Did the game no justice at all.


25- o.o Looks terrifying to me.

38

[ronsard.livejournal.com]

More secrets like this plz.

[happy-cupcake.livejournal.com]

2. Not really. Most pepole enjoy what they are first exposed to first, then find other things to be not as good. You just did it backwards from the rest of the fandom is all.

5. Mmmm, I love her voice. It is quite hypnotizing

17. How did Nicky and Rod make you cry? I'm curious!

29. hahahaha, I love that show so much, but I do not sail on your ship.

36. OMG I love Tracy! I would gain the weight if it meant that I could play that part

[insanepurin.livejournal.com]

9. Guh, it's annoying as hell. Strange =/= Autistic thank you. *speaks as someone HFA*
15. What? What? Thumbelina secret? I CAN'T SEE IT THE BANDWITH TOOK OVER. *SOB*
38. *dies laughing* Thanks for sharing! That made my otherwise crummy day too. ;DD

Six

[cephiedvariable.livejournal.com]

6. All the older MegaTen games give me chills. *shudder* I still think the opening of the very first SMT (on the SNES) is one of the most terrifying sequences in video game history.

[longlongwaytogo.livejournal.com]

29. Um, hardly? I wouldn't kill you for that. I always was hoping that they'd get together when I was a kid. Radu was NICE, Harlan was a prat half the time.

[(Anonymous)]

Radu was nice! But there are a lot of Radu/Harlan and Radu/Elmira shippers out there and there aren't a lot of people who actually like Suzee. If I went into my reasons, I'm sure people would realize who I am! But I felt rather alone in my shipping. Alas.
