I remember watching that and cowering.

Zuko. Smiling. Something is wrong with the universe.

It works for Barbie, not for dumb bints looking for attention.

WORD. Seriously, I get the irritation when it's some obscure phrase that isn't explained, but if it's just a word that's either generally known in the fandom or otherwise fairly easy to find the meaning for (if it isn't mentioned), then what's the big deal? Maybe it's just because I used to do it myself back in the InuYasha fandom ("kazaana" sounds so much cooler than "wind tunnel," honestly people), but I don't see what the problem is if it's appropriate.

Though I do stress the "when it's appropriate" part. My biggest pet peeve is people using Japanese terms in dialogue for fandoms that aren't set in Japan and where the characters don't actually speak Japanese. Case in point: If the series hadn't been written for a Japanese-speaking audience, then Alphonse Elric wouldn't have been calling his brother "Niisan" at all. Because, shock upon shocks, they don't actually speak Japanese in Amestris. It's all but outright stated that they don't, but you'd think more people would figure it out when Ed ended up in England and could, y'know, understand what everyone was saying.

TITS OR GTFO

Samurai Warriors. Made by the same company.

It annoys me because the idiot fangirls who tend to do it have an air of "ZOMG LUK HOW MUCH JAPUNEEZ I NOE!" about it, whereas Japanese pop artists and manga-ka -- and especially marketing companies -- are rarely using Engrish to profess their "fluency." Oftentimes, even they know the Engrish is ridiculous, and they're hardly serious about it.

"Cat" is a perfectly okay word to call a domesticated feline. "Cute" is a perfectly good word to describe said feline. There's really no reason to say "Kasumi fed her kawaii neko before going to school," other than to prove you know how to say "cute cat" in Japanese.

If you're going to randomly switch languages in the middle of a story, have a purpose for doing it other than being pretentious.

Right, exactly. Really, the only appropriate times there are to use it is if it's the proper term for something or a nickname for someone or something like that. Otherwise there's no real point to it.

Whoa. Seriously? I mean, the episode when Aang attended school in the Fire Nation reminded me of what I've read about World War II Japan, but all those other similarities...

Hmmm... this is a lot of food for thought. Thanks.

8 -- Oh, fuck yes. I'll be so pissed off. There's not a single white guy in the whole damn show, people.

15 -- I cried like a baby in front of all of my friends at that episode. Even looking at that picture made me feel misty-eyed.

People still make fun of me for that. They can stuff it. :(

Your icon makes me want to cheer.

The thing that freaked me out had more to do with the fact that I went through something extremely similar two years ago. But I was only on cusp of entering fandom then, and I'm still in it now, more so than ever, so yeah, it is about getting help when you need it and taking charge of stuff in your life. I can't imagine not being in fandom now, in spite of everything.

You need to rec me some fanfic. :|b

28. Girl with camera in the top row, middle, is Ran from Rival Schools and Project Justice!

28. JYOU! RAN! ♥

40. HAHAHA *SIGNED* I always wondered if people considered that :U

♥ I'm so glad someone else thinks so. Everyone mostly sides for the second game because it's more longer but the first one will always be the most amazing to me. :)
It's great to see the difference in him in the second one!

I love you for your icon. ♥ Soul Eater ♥♥♥

This place needs way more. I think the last one I saw was about V's main character ('THIS IS A CHICK. NO BUTS.').

Who would be your favourite character?

♥ 'Miss Jeane, a customer!'

I like that pairing too actually |D it looks hot.

Btw who made the art? Website plz *___* i-it's beautiful~

Oooh okay 8D well just tell me when you do!

:D Word. Motherfucking WORD.

Yeah, I knew it had to be something like that. I like the character designs too, but it's hard to get excited after a while...

Here to both agree with you and throw powerful love at your icon. :O

this is so random but i reeeeally love your make up! i always try to do my eyeshadow like that(with key lime green) but it never works!

Iroh's little segment in that episode was so sad ;_; I didn't cry but it was really sad. I hadn't seen the ending coming personally.
