Another Person Who Can't/Didn't Voteat_anonMay 10 2005, 20:23:22 UTC
I liked Phibrizo, though I don't know the series. I'm trying to figure out how I should go about it if I reapply (how to make a character funny to people who don't know the character.)
Hanajima I'd wibble on - it would be entertaining to see her at camp, but it was hard to get a feel for her, which of course comes from the fact that her humor is mostly acting off of others.
Didi...again wibbling, but more on the no side.
Uchiha, Envy and Kikumaru just felt OOC. ESPECIALLY Eiji. Eiji's GENKI, not STUPID - even Tooru got within five minutes that there were zombies here.
Bob, Phibrizo, and Impulse are characters I don't know but they amuse me anyway. Dib and Ron are also love.

I'm trying to figure out how I should go about it if I reapply (how to make a character funny to people who don't know the character.)As far as I've seen, there are four types of fandom humor, which appeal to different people. I'll * the ones that appeal to me

No, I definitely agree with you, and it's neat to see it written out. I think along the same lines, but never really bothered to write it all out. In this case, though, I meant that it's more my tendency to use things that fans of a SERIES will find funny, but not those who don't know the series, which is necessary given this forum.
Hey, Cthulhu says that his dedication to cheap emo and punk stuff like TOTALLY makes him a teenager, even if he's a little tentacle-y around the edges.

--RE: the whole "who's gay?" thing: I agree completely. It's a strange phenomenon, but in pretty much every fandom I've encountered, the emphasis is always on romantic relationships, even in series where FRIENDSHIP or ADVENTURE or GRATUITOUS VIOLENCE is supposedly the focus. I think it may be because it's easier to work with a simple pretext such as "Sasuke is gay as a jaybird" rather than "Orihime and Ichigo are stuck in an underground laboratory." It required less planning, and it's easier to make one-liners

Super brief two cents.officialbiznessMay 15 2005, 18:54:02 UTC
For the "ping-pong" bit, I agree. Without a Naruto to play off of, my Sasuke has nothing to really fall back on. In retrospect, he was a poor character choice on my part.
But, well, I'd die if anyone else played him. C'est la vie.

Sasuke isn't necessarily a bad choice. His tragical angst is emphasized when he's around Naruto, but he can also stand on his own. He is snarly and unhappy, and he can take that out on everyone not just his snuggly-wuggly Naruto.
Well, part of it was that you had a great Naruto (and Orochimaru, though he had less of an impact, I think). Another part was that traumatizing Sasuke was everyone's favorite pasttime.
