nothing specific, mind

Sometimes I think that I should use this journal as a safe space to air out problems more often. Then I remember that one of my issues is not talking about my issues. Ah well.

Name a fandom and I'll give you some unpopular opinions about it.

I don't pay enough attention to fandom to know what is unpopular, these days.

sheep go to heaven

This meme confuses me in the way that I cannot do it myself. That said... LD?

Why can't you do it yourself?

....oh hey it's that fandom I actually pay attention to.

I'm... lazy :( Also I don't pay attention to fandoms. I just read the canons >> And... am I to give others' unpopular opinions? My own? Or what. Aaah (also, again, lazy)

I think it's just "I think x even though everybody else thinks y." But yeah I can really only say "I think x." Except with LD where I read the fanfic for years.

+ I don't think Tsukiko was Rikuou's lover. This is neither a popular or unpopular idea in fandom because the girls are mostly ignored, but as I see it Rikuou shuts off from everything that reminds him of Tsukiko, so he wouldn't be a flirt and a tease if he'd ever acted that way around her.

+ Speaking of flirting, True Love is never going to turn Rikuou or Kazahaya into sweet, gentle people. I do think they have the potential to get together, but they'd bitch every step of the way. And enjoy it.

+ I don't think Kakei and/or Saiga sees either of the boys sexually at all. They just enjoy mocking them ( ... )

I WAS IN THIS FANDOM ONCE, YES.

+ I think that Yami suffers very badly from having characters that typify all the tropes of a BL game, which is why so few people manage to enjoy all of the main cast. This is true of a lot of pop culture series and probably wouldn't bother me so much if I hadn't seen some major schisming go down back in the day.

+ The series should have ended at volume 8. I'm sorry, I know the shiki are fun, hot, and badass and the snake rape is... well, it's the snake rape! But it just doesn't validate trying to kick another climax or two out of the story for me.

+ On a similar note, I think the anime tells a much better story than the manga. I can't say I wish the manga followed the same lines, because I do love some of the sidearcs and all the extra character development. And the cast is definitely better rounded in the books. But as a storyline, it falls flat on its face a LOT. I really respect whoever sat down and turned it into thirteen tight episodes.

+ Pretty much everything seriously wrong with the books ( ... )

I don't even know what you know about the Supernatural fandom that I do not tell you.

ALSO YOU KNOW YOU CAN TALK TO ME ABOUT YOUR ISSUES ANY TIME ilu honey >:

ilu2 ♥ ......and yeah, very little besides what I see on fandom secrets, so these are really my thoughts on the show, not the fandom ( ... )

Somehow I did not realize you had EVER shipped the brothers, and now I feel like I should get you back on that bandwagon. What if WiiFit judged the apocalypse to only get two stars, and they had to have sex until it stopped yelling at them?

... I. How did you not know that.

That particular brand of incest (ie, one that is not an abuse of trust) is one of my bulletproof kinks. I guess I don't mention that much.

In before gaisce for Tutu 8D

Also you could totally do the other Yami characters :Db?

synergic June 6 2010, 00:07:05 UTC
Lemme do Tutu first! It'll be short, since fandom mostly makes us facepalm and I don't think a lot of that is worth mentioning.

+ I don't ship Fakir and Mytho in the slightest, and I don't think Fakir ever considered it. Rue, however, totally thought he was macking at some point.

+ I don't think Fakir will ever try to make Ahiru human again, even though they both want her to be. Their commitment to no more stories is too strong.

+ I have heard fandom doesn't like Rue, and is dissatisfied with her place in the story? I don't understand this at all. She was a pawn, but she truly loved Mytho and he saved her.

+ ...I don't understand the amvs.

OK, now pick a Yami character :|

...yeah I don't ship it romantically or sexually at all, it's just platonic devotion with...questionable ways of expressing it. >>

Also I bet nightangelca and I can ask you about most/all of the cast at some point (WE LOVE YOU REALLY), but I guess I can be obvious and ask about Hisoka. 8D

gaisce June 6 2010, 05:43:11 UTC
HEY!--maybe I was just going to request DC for her as payback.

Okay and Tutu if it wasn't already on the list

... this is a fandom I've mostly avoided, but the one thing I do know about it turns me into a total bitch /)_(\

+ Yoi-te is not stupid, and he is not naive. He filters very heavily, and some of that is because his senses are failing, but some of it is because he doesn't want to connect. But under that he's got a perfectly good mind. He doesn't speak or think like a child. His thought process isn't incomplete.

[/rant]

+ I don't know what the anime did to the plot but I did not like it.

WHAT ELSE DO PEOPLE THINK ABOUT THE SERIES?

harukami June 6 2010, 01:52:05 UTC
I HAVE NO IDEA AND I HAVE AVOIDED THE FANDOM MYSELF. Oh my gosh, people think Yoi-te's stupid or childlike? Wow. idefk, that shocks me from how I read it. Yoi-te's thought patterns might not be totally 'normative' but that's a huge step different from that.

Full disclosure: all my impressions of the fandom come from participating in/stalking other RPs, so it's a very small sampling of the overall group.
