Tutu is love. It's my favorite show EVER.

[identity profile] haleysings.livejournal.com 2007-10-14 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I kinda-sorta feel that way, but I still love some shounen shows, like Fullmetal Alchemist. XDD

In all honesty, I'd have to agree with people who think that this particular secret is a bit much.

Okay, granted, it's a little odd that the mother bought something which the daughter was allergic to, but thinking about jewelry like this, it's extremely hard to get high-quality imitation jewelry without spending a fuckton out of one's own pocket. Besides, a lot of websites that do sell imitation jewelry don't list what the jewelry is made out of.

Goodness knows that at least the mom tried. If I asked my mom for something like that, she'd just laugh.

10. Awwwwww Generator Gawwwwwwwwwwl, I love that series. D: Koji/Ryo FTW! <3333

19. Jane was my idol while that show was on. <33

I just think stereotyping ALL of a genre is pretty lame. Hence, tongue in cheek! I like a lot of shounen series, and not others. Soooo I can't really dismiss the whole genre.

36!!!

OMG so much love for Deadshot! I personally have a thing for seeing him with Catman but you know he looks awesome with anyone!

21's OP

(Anonymous) 2007-10-14 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I adore Fakiru (and Mytho/Rue), and really I like those pairings much more than Fakir/Mytho, but I still can't resist shipping those two. PARTICULARLY as Siegfried/Lohengrin. When Mytho's heartless it kinda squicks me, but otherwise...man. Too hot.

I like the television with the little mustache. I don't know, something about the way he blushes...!

/lives in Japan and watches too many variety shows :(

21's OP

(Anonymous) 2007-10-15 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
XDDD DARN YOU. But i love you anyway. <3

And yes, I'm staying anonymous just for the odd chance that someone MIGHT not know.

16 - ::runs off to find Lovecraft fanfic:: It'll probably screw me up, but I'm still gonna go look for it.

24 - Word!

7. While Light is in theory the "bad guy" here, he's in fact as much of a victim to the note as all those people he killed. Not to substantiate any of his actions, or the fact that he is such an overconfident, smug, immature, pretentious bastard (then again how many people were disappointed and bored when he reverted back to nice Light for a short while there?) prone to swimming lessons. His objective was still what most people would feel is an ideal world, even if the ways far from justified the means.

However, it kind of annoys me when people don't take time to understand that Death Note isn't trying to define what good, evil, black, white or justice is. The story was definitely designed to make you think of all those things, though. Not following it at least somewhat objectively -- like you would with a book -- ruins the experience. Point was to illustrate that everyone has their own take on justice, just like everyone has their own take on the characters and the story. It's not saying Light is Right, nor is it claiming he's 100% off track.

Personally, I just enjoyed seeing how easily a fairly “normal” human being with an outlook on life that most people relate to can be ruined by their own actions in a short period of time. There are plenty if characters out there who are popular despite being assholes, but sadly in Death Note we never really get to see a different or more "human" side to any of these because it is such a plot-centric story.

11. Tsuna, Sena, Sora.

37. Don't even get me started on all the unjustified Near-hate. 99% of the time it's either "he's boring" or "he's a cheap L knock-off" which kind of shows how difficult it was for people to understand him. Or maybe they just had a hard time paying attention due to the infamous WALLS OF TEXT. The rushed last arc of Death Note didn't exactly give room for any decent character development, either.

Most of the time you just had to guess your way to what characters went through emotionally (like try to read their minimal body-language) and what happened in-between the big gaps of their appearance in chapters. Just look at Mello. Ohba was only devoted to the plot while Obata was paid to illustrate. This sucks for fans who usually get attached to characters and expect some reward in return for following the story.

19. Me too. :(

19's op

(Anonymous) 2007-10-15 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yay! I'm glad someone is. I've gotten evrything but the movie of of torrents.

21's OP

(Anonymous) 2007-10-15 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
It's incredibly tempting. XDDD But I really DO like Fakir/Ahiru and Mytho/Rue,and we've built up stuff towards thoses relationships...so to have them suddenly become gay lovers would be too much. XDD Maybe something in their background, but...in current canon? Probably wouldn't work. Sadly.

Re: 18 OP

(Anonymous) 2007-10-15 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
If you do get there, I'll give you maybe four months before you want to move back home.

21's OP

(Anonymous) 2007-10-15 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Like I said, I normally don't like slash, (to the point of near hatred for some pairings), but...dang Fakir and Mytho are hard not to ship. And I seriously DO love Fakir/Ahiru and Mytho/Rue, too, I'm not lying when I say that.

There's always crack days~ ;D

Deadshot is Dc villain's fandom bicycle. =p

11

[identity profile] inquisitorial.livejournal.com 2007-10-15 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
I feel the exact same way...

[identity profile] haleysings.livejournal.com 2007-10-15 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
(then again how many people were disappointed and bored when he reverted back to nice Light for a short while there?)

Not me! XDD This'll sound odd, but I'm a fangirl of him that way. He seems like a genuinely nice guy. That's what makes Death Note such a tragedy to me--if he hadn't picked up that notebook, he probably would've become an investigator and perhaps TRULY have been the next L and have a normal, uncrazy life.

[identity profile] horriblematzo.livejournal.com 2007-10-15 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
1. IT IS REAL, DAMMIT!!! Personally, I think it happened in a alternate universe...
9. Amen
15. Um, I'm sorry. Do you want a tissue?
18. Good luck with that
30. No way. I gotta go with cannon on this. Moses/Tziporah forever.

[identity profile] haleysings.livejournal.com 2007-10-15 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
1. Even though I really think it's fictional, Tolkien's detail was so rich I sometimes imagine the same thing.

3. That's really, really awesome. I'm happy for you!

7. I love the series, and I think happy-not-evil Light is cute, but normal!Light IS an egotistical ass. XDDD I don't think you're really supposed to be rooting for him.

12. That's a ship I haven't heard of! Although I'm not really involved in the fandom. I'm not really a yaoi fangirl, but I'm curious as to why...

25. ..The canon artist got their eye colors wrong?! *dies* Man...

35. Oh, man, I'm having that problem. I have so many ideas, but I can't WRITE...

(Anonymous) 2007-10-15 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
I wasn't disappointed at all, actually. But I know a lot of people complained. It just made the contrast painfully clear - old Light in reflection to the corrupted one. It also made it obvious to me why you shouldn't think of Light as the true antagonist of the story, or even evil. The Note is the real villain.

It's not like the fans of Light-o are claiming he's not an arrogant bastard, anyway. Who says you can't like characters despite that one quality?

18

[identity profile] horriblematzo.livejournal.com 2007-10-15 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
I just wanna say one more thing about 18: why Japan? I mean, I get it if you're of Japanese descent and/or have relatives/friends there, then it'd sorta make sense to go, but if not, why? I mean, even if you current life is hell on earth, couldn't you just move to the opposite side of your country? Japan isn't the most wonderful country in the world, even if anime and stuff comes from there.
Oh well, have fun.
(p.s. if you still really wanna live there, maybe you should try and go to college there if you can...)

[identity profile] pimmy.livejournal.com 2007-10-15 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
i so agree. that was the biggest thing to realize for me, in the series.

"hey guys maybe kira manipulated light and now passed on his power lol!"
me: ...holy crap Kira really IS manipulating Light! In a totally effed up weirdo crazy kind of way!
