I AGREE SO HARD.

[ccmars.livejournal.com]

24. YES! I AGREE EVERY DAMN BIT!

[flamingkitsune.livejournal.com]

It's so awesome to see secrets with Kuwabara love. :D ♥ HE KICKS ASS.

[amandier.livejournal.com]

7. I'm proud of you!

8. Fuuma! I think he's one of the more redeeming characters of X and I REALLY want CLAMP to finish up the series!

15. The colors of the series are so subtle, I LOVE IT.

22. I adore the series too and I giggle insanely when the people go on a total wankfest! (Also, planning to cosplay Setsuna one day >_>)

40. Pan's Labyrinth is such an amazing movie...

[xenoglossy]

1. Yeah, I wish I could do that, too. Only even if I did get published, CFUD still wouldn't let me play my own characters.

6. I think they're cute together, too.

23. Yuri is a valid romanization of his name. So is Yuuri. So are Yûri and Yūri, though most people can't be bothered typing those. Romanizing Japanese names is an inexact science, and there will always be people who disagree over the "right" way to do it. Personally, I don't think it's worth picking fights over.

30. Hmm. I have a guess as to who this is -- I wonder if I'm right.

[kinneas.livejournal.com]

"Yuri" really isn't valid under any standardized romaji style, though, because of the kana used, specifically the voewl extender =\

28...ohhhh crap that's hot...
I think I can relate to how you feel....dang you, Sakura...

41. I was upset for days when Ben died in Scrubs :'<
I never cried once for any of my friends or relatives...
(save for my dog...)
I feel so heartless

[post-position.livejournal.com]

8) Yes. It's overrated I think, but it's one of my favorite manga. I think it's sad that people want to dump on it just cause it's popular for whatever reason. If you don't like it, you dont like it. I dont care. Most other X fans wouldn't care. It's not a crime not to like it, and you certainly don't *have* to read it to be a *twu* CLAMP fan. If you dislike it so much, then why did you read all of it? Usually when I dont like a manga, I stop reading it.

23) Just reiterating the ゆうり--> Yuuri thing, but Yuri is the official romanization, either is acceptable, and neither is 'better' or more 'right'. I dont care either way which people use or prefer >.>

[hughes]

Man, good, interesting secrets today, at least IMHO. :X

1. I totally know what you mean! I hardly talk about my OCs in public, but I secretly think it'd be pretty awesome. >D

5. I fucking adore Integra. <3

7. I'm happy that things turned out okay for you. <3

13. I totally have that problem where the idea of writing fanfiction seems so much more appealing than writing original stories. Maybe I should try that mindset too!

18. I'm usually pretty even in whether I decide to slash brotherly relationships or leave them as is, and in this case, I'm totally with you. Their relationship is awesome and touching in canon, and I don't feel like it should be tweaked. <333

27. No idea what wank this is about, but I know what you mean about certain stuff in fandom crossing a line from silly wank into an internet disaster that really hurts and makes a fandom unfun. :/

You're not the only one.

Whatever is wrong with you is wrong with me, too. I've always been like this, more emotionally expressive and open about fictional worlds and people than about real life.

As long as you can still feel things IRL, even if you don't cry at funerals, I think you're probably okay.

[daphhime.livejournal.com]

2. Ooooo a Scooby Doo secret! I'd read it! <3

*is wishing she had more classic Scooby Doo icons*

23

[koyuki]

So who died and made you the god of romanization? Yuri is more official, but it's not necessarily wrong.

[albijuli]

25. Lucky Orgy? Don't let 4chan get ahold of that thought (if they haven't already... I am sure 7chan has).

38. Funny story. When I was playing FFTactics for the first time, I thought Ramza was a female O_o

Holy good secrets today, Batman!

[xreddestinyx.livejournal.com]

5. I know how you feel. I get like that with characters that seem especially confident. I'd like to be like that someday.

24. YuYu Hakusho! :D I like all of the main four guys, really. But Hiei and Kurama will always be my favorites, because they're a scream. They had many of the funniest lines.

36. I like this secret, because I've felt like that all my life. Always waiting for the portal to open, the saucer to take me, to "see too much" and be sucked in to something mysterious, for some magical figure to take me under their wing... I've always wanted to go on an adventure or journey like that.

40. Yay, Pan's Labyrinth! Awesome movie!

[sanae.livejournal.com]

15. You're not alone, I like the colours too. The characters are like a rainbow~~!

33. This secret is awesome.

34. Oh my god, Video Girl Ai! I never finished reading that manga! *rushes off to download it again*

[cerulean88.livejournal.com]

9. that is Roboto-kun's work (http://roboto-kun.deviantart.com/art/CN-Kingdom-Hearts-39356313) D=

[(Anonymous)]

Dude, so many thanks for linking it - I am totally a new fan of this guy's work. AMAZING. O_O I hardly go to dA so if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have known!

*dies*

[pyrasaur.livejournal.com]

1 and 13) I hear you guys. I wrote an unresolved, could-go-any-way-including-a-threesome love triangle into my first novel, just because I wanted others to explore and interpret it (and because the thought of screeching shipwars amused me XD). We're all gonna keep working toward our publishing dreams and get our fandom playgrounds, 'kay?

[yentai.livejournal.com]

i love this movie....i soooooo love it :( the lullaby makes me tear up too...

[chakuura.livejournal.com]

18. Agreed. There is like...zero sexual subtext with them at all. >:|

18

[flauta-de-pollo.livejournal.com]

lol honesty: I totally agree. I just can't think of their relationship as romantic. When I see slash fanart of them, I don't even go "aww" or anything...

I'm such an outcast in this fandom seeing as I don't like Kamina/Simon or Viral/Simon~

[dia-aren-marie.livejournal.com]

23. ...lol XD

24. :( I don't understand the Kuwabara hate, either. One of my friends hates him and when asked, she just said he was "ugly", so... grrr. :(

29. I KNOW YOU~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~? COME TO MY COLLEGE IT'S CRACKY FUN THERE WE MAKE CRACKY ANIMAL/ROBOT/WHATEVER HELMETS OUT OF RUBBER FOAM SHEETS~~~~

[scribe-protra.livejournal.com]

24. ...I never really understood how people could find him ugly.

[scribe-protra.livejournal.com]

24. I would hit it like the fist of an angry god. Hot sweetie pie redhead of awesome for the epic win.

[avianthropy.livejournal.com]

18. I prefer them platonic too, but I still have to lol at the DRILL! PIERCE! GATTAI! innuendo in the early episodes. A-and some of the fanart is really pretty. :\

38. SUIKODEN SECRET! ♥ And I thought he was a girl for the entire, like... four months between the time I first saw that game in the store and when I got it. I think it makes sense in this case, though, what with being royalty in a Queendom... if I remember correctly, early on you even overhear a conversation about how you're worthless for not being a girl who can take up the throne? So I figured there was some compensation going on.

[neutral-lamb.livejournal.com]

38. I seriously thing he's the prettiest girl in the game though, hands down. No female character in the game is prettier than he is. He need to go to some doctor and have his sex change or something.

here is my soapbox

[kinneas.livejournal.com]

41 (again). I said it before, because this is a repeat, and I'll say it again, but if you're sadder about Spike/Snape/Darth Vader what-have-you's death than your own family's or someone you knew decently well, you need to go the fuck outside.

Lol what a bitch and standard troll you're not the boss of me i like inside and all that, but this is called DETACHMENT. I assumed then like I assume now that you are not speaking about your level of crying, you are speaking in general terms of the level of grief you feel, and I assume this because you apparently don't even bother to feel emotional after a death.

In high school, four of my friends died. I have had many relatives die. I was never as torn up by some CHARACTER dying like I was by real deaths, and do you know why?

Because fucking FICTION is not absolute, it does not mean the complete ceasing to be of a real person with real feelings and a real life. Do you understand death? It means this person, with history but not a future, is GONE FROM THIS EARTH, and will NEVER be back. Everything they ever worked for is gone, and everything they ever were is no more. Death reminds us of our own mortality, and how someday we too will cease to exist.

And you drop dead sobbing for a character.

Christ.

Re: here is my soapbox

[ew-younerd.livejournal.com]

I...agree. And love you for what you just said. Honestly, I'm wondering if people just tell themselves they are abnormal so they can feel special in fandom :\

24) :D My brother looks EXACTLY like him! Like, exactly. His hair even does the curl thing in the front. XD I don't know what that has to do with your secret exactly...but you guys should be 'net buddies! or something!

40) It's not stupid. That movie changed my life too.
