9. Ugh, ugh. I can certainly relate to that in some sense. Although when I was 13/14ish or so and going through my first diagnosis for Bi-Polar, I went through this stage when I desperately tried to find characters in my fandoms that could possibly be bi-polar as well because... uh, well I dunno actually. But I was always like: "Nu uh, Sherlock Holmes is TOTALLY bi-polar!" or "Well, when you put Daisuke and Ken together, one's manic and one's depressed, so like, that OTP is totally like bi-polar or something!". I swear, I had self made fanon where the entirety of Digimon 02 was just a metaphor about mental illness.

Not that I went out and wrote essays on it or pushed it on anyone, it was just something I did. Possibly because I was am mentally ill.

Granted, I doubt the hundreds of fan who go "Squeee! Autism!" about L are doing that. I'm automatically suspicious of anyone who claims to be mentally ill, even in RL (knowing full well that they're probably suspicious of me as well). I'm doubly suspicious of anyone I meet online who claims to be autistic, especially if they only "realized" when they were fifteen. UH HUH.

tl;dr, sry sry.

"Possibly because I was am mentally ill."

More likely because you just didn't want to feel alone. (don't worry, you're really not) :)

29) SPACE CASES SECRET HOLY CRAP YOU WIN THIS POST LIKE WHOA. Although, I wasn't a fan of that pairing, or Radu in general. I was more of a Harlan girl. BUT YOU STILL WIN.
31) Ha ha, I think I'm partly the same way. The other half is due to maturity issues that have nothing to do with this, but YES HIRO. Hiro is love. *glitter eyes* Actually, I think I have more of a crush on Ando, but Hiro is easily my fave character on the show.

19. I'm not into Ouran, but oh god, after hearing him voice Fay I wouldn't wish his voices (or voice rather, coz he only has one) on any dub. ;_;

What fandom is this? I want to know more.

... wow, hi, you're my new best friend.

Both of my younger brothers, 16 and 14, are autistic. It's great when people take an interest in it, but fuck. Autism and other disabilities aren't a play thing. If you want to understand it, wanna make an original character with a disability, maybe write a fic about how a character possibly could have one, hey, that's rad. Spread the information around, make people know, but don't be a fucktard about it and start applying it to fandom characters obsessively, or especially applying it to yourself. You really wanna know if you have a form of autism, go to a fucking doctor and get a diagnosis.

you don't WANT autism or any other dissorder. I hate when people are like "lol i'm crazy! isnt that kewl! I shud be put in a asylum! ^__^" IT ISN'T FUN. especially for individuals like myself who have sever dissorders which really DO make them feel crazy and awful and misserable and like an outcast from society, unable to function and see differn't doctors so they dont have to keep cooped up in their house or be institutionalized. jhdbfhjsb fkbfka it makes me so mad.

I CAN SPEAK FOR MYSELF.

BUT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR IT DESPERATELY AS WELL. T__T

9. if written properly (research done, generally good story teller and character builder) dissorders in a character can add a great deal to the story. but when people use dissorders as a kind of cheap "depth" for their character whilest having little to no knowlage on the subject then that just IRKS me. You dont want to wish a medical dissorder on ANYONE fictional or not. Just because it seems interesting from the outside doesnt mean it isnt total SHIT to dal with for the person. it's not cute. it sucks.

38. ILU. seriously, i read badfic all the time. even when i'm in a good mood. it just provides such great lulz! :D

[hako-neko.livejournal.com]

9. Self-diagnosis is stupid and delusional.

19. Vic is a douche.

36. Hairspray is love. I don't blame you for idolizing her.. she did a great deal of inspirational stuff!

[atelierlune.livejournal.com]

That's an increasingly prevailing opinion... but why? Everytime I venture to ask people are shooting the question down out of pocket. Of course, this is on the Anime Central forums, so many I ought not be surprised...

Apparently he's had some negative comments to say about this and that in the past....? It's all quite vague to me.

This makes me want to go read bad smutty fan-fiction now 8D

*laughs out loudly*

9. Thanks for encouraging everyone else to also prove they have bullshit understanding of autism, etc. Way to go!

Because, you know, there aren't any semi-functional autistics out there. Nooooo. And if you can function at all, you can't be autistic! Haha, wow, way to be ignorant and full of shit, all of you.

Lol, and you're any different? Geez, take a chill pill.

I fell for her too after watching the 3rd movie. Absolutely stunning.

9. I am totally fucking there with you. Before loading down a character with unrealistic disorders, a writer should pay attention to everything else about them. By god, it's not like Death Note characters in particular need something artificial like that tacked on to give them more depth, and it only reflects badly on the writer.

Even worse is when someone tries to express that concern to the writer and they use the controversial nature of the disorder to make the other person look like the bad guy. I've found it particularly appalling when I've heard of writers who'd researched a disorder, written it into a fic, and then gotten bitchy at critics who actually had the disorder.

ugh, bottom line is IAWTS.

Nothing makes a shitty day better then some super bad fanfiction. &hearts

9. It annoys me as well.

14. Can't help wondering if this is a BNF in my main fandom. Part of me is already thinking up possibilities...

36. Oh, Tracy is an excellent hero to have though. I live in Baltimore (sort of in Baltimore, anyhow), and I almost think if she lived here, it'd be a better place.

37. CONFIRM. WORD. YES.

[terrykun.livejournal.com]

What really confirms how much I want to be here is how much the thought of confronting her, in any way, scares me.

Not in the cheap visceral way that horror movie villains scare you, but a deep and chilling primordial fear in the reptilian part of your brain, knowing that you are going to be swiftly, but systematically, taken down and taken apart.

Re: #29: I think Radu/Suzee was the implication for canon, actually. I know she kisses both he and Harlan in the season two finale, but I've always maintained that if the show had gone beyond what it did, we would have seen a lot more Radu/Suzee and (somehow, maybe) more Cat/Harlan. It just felt like the creators were trying to get them neatly paired up.

[stormbringer986.livejournal.com]

LOL I know exactly what you mean!!!! I can be in the worst mood ever, and if one of my friends links me a really awful badfic, I laugh myself stupid and feel awesome afterward.

[klytaemnestra.livejournal.com]

2. I hate AC with a bitter passion these days, but hey, at least you actually played the game.

12. And now to fuck with Case's head, what is your definition of virgin? Lol. I always thought that kind of sucked though. I'm a little biased to actual Dracula canon since that would make me so sad to not be able to become a vampire.

23. Word.

2) Not at all. I admit the movie looks very pretty. I liked it enough to buy the special edition on top of the regular release. However, I don't think I would have liked it as much if I hadn't known the story of the game first.

11) See, I love Vaan too, but couldn't even finish 10 because of my Tidus hate. That and Seymour's painfully bad voice actor. *shudders*
