Name the fandom!

4. ...I'm confused. Why isn't Moulin Rouge! a musical?

[case]

19. I'll admit no character has ever "changed my life" or anything, but tons of people have had their lives changed by reading about great real-people, right? Like Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King Jr., etc -- that we'll never be able to meet in real life, and only know through stories told. Isn't that basically the same thing as what you're saying? It makes sense to me.

You'd be really surprised what can change your life. I've known characters that have changed my life, if only in small ways - because they reflected an aspect of my personality which I was ignoring, refusing to deal with, or too afraid to acknowledge. I admired them, perhaps, and so tried to be more like them for the better. So what if they're not real, and not the main focus of whatever series they're in? If they help people get through, and feel better about themselves, and about life, then good for them. People shouldn't feel bad about finding inspiration in fictional characters.

You remind me of a dear friend of mine, and whether or not you're them isn't the point. I just hope you know that you won't be left behind because I'm sure you mean the world to them too. :D

29. CLONE SYAORAN IS LOVE! D:♥ Actually both Syaorans are love so. x3;;

19. Okay, so you find it funny. I guess it's funny when a fandom saves someone's life from spiraling out of control. It's also funny that such and such characters stopped people from killing themselves. I don't get it. What's wrong with being so into a fandom that you wouldn't wanna change? Yeah, changing interests isn't a crime, but wtf, sticking with one interest isn't either. Laugh all you want. We'll just be happy with what makes us better people/keeps us sane, real or not.

5. Why would someone get mad at you for making icons of those characters?

19. oh noes people get emotionally affected by things!!1!1!!

[valorously.livejournal.com]

I was going to ask the same thing. :/

[pimmy.livejournal.com]

1. i have friends like you, i love them much but i HATE HATE HATE how shy they are! maybe it's just me being selfish but meeting my online friends brings me so much joy. i would only love them more. YOU'RE DEPRIVING YOUR FRIENDS OF SOMETHING THEY PROBABLY DREAM OF. I can understand being shy but don't be selfish!

3. Don't uh... don't the writers/authors WANT people to like the canon pairings?

4. Correction: It's not musical theatre. All a musical is is a story that includes the characters singing. And it's also a great movie . . .

[halevy.livejournal.com]

30. The anime? Lol. Maybe you should read the manga unless you're talking about both.

But it's okay to hate TRC. I have a love-hate thing with it.

20. You're totally not alone; I'm heavily considering apping Charles Foster Kane somewhere just because playing him would be fantastic and possibly really challenging.

[ediblestars.livejournal.com]

003. IAWTS from beginning to end.
019. A really, really good character can be very much like a person of their own, and people can change lives. Real people, sure--but really, what makes a really good character any less "real" than a living person, to the outside observer of either? They certainly can't do anything for you, or know you personally, but they can be heroes--or crushes, or cautionary tales, or what-have-you.
033. Everyone does at some point, don't they? I was mentioned in the very bottom tiny text of a secret once and it made my week. :D

11. HURR HURR HURR. But hey, whatever works for you.


12.YOU SUCK offEGGS was all I could think about while reading your secret.

[mollypocket.livejournal.com]

A musical usually has a full original score? I'm not sure what this person is basing their definition on. >_>;;

[dots.livejournal.com]

It's a movie ... with musical numbers! I'm pretty sure that's all it takes to qualify.

22. I miss the early days of Polychromatic.

[blackhearts]
