See all I had to suffer through was Last Friends so I remain nonchalant at this point, I cant imagine putting myself through innocent love and kamisama and all the other vile shit she's churned out and still be able to watch tsukikoi without having traumatic flashbacks. Honestly it's good it was a long while ago cause I was angry about Last friends for at least 2 years. I ranted at so many people over that drama. and You know I am pretty chill usually! But that was just waogowjowijw HORRIBLE.
EXACTLY. She was like "I am gonna warm his heart" and I was like FOR FUCK'S SAKE. Out loud at my computer. I was mad 1 because Rensuke needs to have his ass kicked big time and Xiu Mei has no reason at this point to think Rensuke is redeemable, and 2. it doesnt fulfill my kink at all! I thought I was gonna see her torment him until he is nothing but a weeping pile of misery and self hatred. I WANTED CRUELTY AND VICIOUSNESS AND RENSUKE'S TEARS DAMMIT. Instead I get her being sweet and adorable until his heart melts. However, I still like it anyway -_- and yeah I ship Mei/Ren against all my better judgement. It's just something about that kimura! He makes everything so ~INTENSE~ So yeah I'mma keep watchin and we'll see how it goes. Hopefully we'll get two more decent make outs before the shit hits the fan for reals. Also I am not feeling Ren's chemistry with Maemi still, maybe a little more so now than I did at the start but still it's all very blah. Maemi herself still makes no sense to me. I like her but I cant say I think very highly of her at this point. Girl needs to reorganize her priorities. Really both girls do, but at least Mei has the excuse of...wait she doesnt have one either does she? well whatever. lol
I'm STILL mad at Last Friends, though in hindsight it wasn't any worse than her usual fare -- I guess it's because LF was my first drama of hers and I was deluded into thinking she knew what she was doing. HA, HA, HA.

SAME. SAME. THAT'S THE DRAMA I WANTED TO SEE. Honestly, Xu Mei annoys me so much, even as I ship her and Rensuke because their chemistry is crazy. She's such a CHILD -- I know we're supposed to think she's so ~strong~ and ~independent~ for not taking Rensuke's shit, but I'm always like DUDE, YOU SIGNED A CONTRACT, QUIT RUNNING AWAY FROM YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES. Her fits of temper drive me crazy. You're not six! You can't hole away in your room because people were mean to you!
The thing that gets me about Ren/Maemi vs Ren/Xu Mei is how neither are really compatible with him. (Or maybe I should say he's too incompatible with everyone?) Xu Mei can't live in his world without hand-holding, yet she gives him the challenge Maemi won't. Maemi is more competent and capable than Xu Mei, but she's too afraid of losing what she has with Rensuke to ever challenge him in a significant way.
If only we could merge them together and create a superwoman who could keep up with Rensuke and call him on his bull...
I dont know XD I stole it from a girl in the community_tv comm 8Dv. I had the same reaction as you did upon seeing the icon so I just took it like a bad theif person.
Yeah but I am too busy being angry at loads of other stuff to still be mad about Last Friends! (funny thing I almost wrote Avatar instead of LF, except I AM STILL mad about Avatar. I WILL NEVER STOP BEING ANGRY ABOUT IT)

Completely agreed. As of right now my ideal OTP is Rensuke/horrible suffering. While I dont dislike Xu Mei (I've on more than one occasion ran away and hid somewhere when I was having a tough time though I do have a host of emotional issues lol. and I usually do it in a subtle way so no one knows I was upset but still. Though I'm not proud of that habit I can understand Mei's feelings a bit. I am less understanding over the "I will WARM HIS HEAAAART" nonsense) she is absolutely very childish. I think we are supposed to find it cute and charming but in fact it just makes it hard to really respect her or take her fully seriously. At least that how it is for me. Maemi is mature and capable which I like but she lacks any of the emotional conviction or intensity of Xu Mei. So basically unless Xu mei grows up or Maemi gets more of a spine, I dont think that any of them should end up with Rensuke, and if Rensuke doesnt get a soul between now and the finale, I dont think he should end up with either of them. Basically they all need to see the wizard of oz, Maemi needs some spine, Xu Mei needs some maturity and Rensuke needs a soul. Then they can live happily ever after as an OT3! with lots of sex! yay!
ME TOO MAN, ME TOO. There's a girl on my flist who I've been friends with for years, she can't wait for the movie and doesn't care about the whitewashing even after I linked her to racebending.com. I love her, but... whenever she posts about being excited for Avatar I start to twitch. PRIORITIES! YOU CAN GET SHITTY CGI FROM ANY BLOCKBUSTER!
I think we are supposed to find it cute and charming but in fact it just makes it hard to really respect her or take her fully seriously.
This is how I feel. There are certain times I can understand her behavior, like right after she found out how Rensuke lied about saving everyone's jobs, I thought she was fully justified in wanting revenge and doing whatever it took to get it. But whenever she throws a fit or starts hitting him or runs away without telling anybody or holes up in her room while an entire staff is waiting on her arrival? AUGHHHHHH. YOU ARE NOT A SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE. THE WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND YOUR PAIN.
Maemi has the patient of a saint to put up with both Rensuke's irresponsibility and Xu Mei's sulks.
if Rensuke doesnt get a soul between now and the finale, I dont think he should end up with either of them.
I agree so hard. I can't believe we were supposed to be all touched and moved that he... apologized with one line, written down, in a notebook conveniently left for her to find. Wtf?? I mean, good for baby steps, but...
Oh man that shit drives me CRAZY. Only one girl on my flist fits that description thank God, some of them are gonna see it still and arent as mad as me about it but they still are aware of it and talk about the problems of it even if they arent so furious they wont see it. I want to see it myself for dev patel who I am fond of, but never will I pay for it. I also think it's best if I wait like five years to see it cause i feel like if I see it now, I will be too angry to actually enjoy anything. What infuriates me the most though, isnt that this happened, cause lord knows, Hollywood is notorious for this shit. No what infuriates me is how people like to pretend this not a big deal and those of us who are angry about it are just mad that hollywood wasnt being more faithful to the source material, like this is the fucking equivalent of that wank about Dan Radcliffe's eyes being blue when Harry Potter's eyes are green. No bitches, this is FUCKING RACIST SHIT and is not something so handwavey as eye color or hair color or hair length or height or whatever. I am just amazed that to some people there is no real difference between casting an asian or a white person. ITS PRACTICALLY THE SAME! AHFOWJIOWJW RAAAAGE. SO MUCH RAGE. I just, I am not white man, I am not even deluding myself into thinking I will be seeing legit arabs on the big screen playing not psychopathic characters any time soon, but I would have been glad to see some asians on the big screen being HEROES for freaking ONCE. and I mean it would have still been confined to the martial arts genre that asians are always confined to but damn, that's still SOMETHING. But no! HOLLYWOOD HAD TO GO AND TAKE THAT AWAY. WELL FUCK YOU HOLLYWOOD. FUCK YOU IN THE ASS WITH A METAL PHALLUS. *ahem* Yeah. I uh, it bothers me. Let's move on..
What that drove me nuts, Mei just weeping in a corner while staff was on hold waiting for her for DAYS. I am just like, girl if you dont wanna go fine but at least drop a call or somethin! Give them a heads up. Geeze.
Another one of my favorites: "there's nothing about Avatar that's particularly Asian!" UHHHHHHHHH. I honestly wouldn't be able to believe people are so blind except the argument's gained lots of talk since Shyamalan gave an interview about how the characters are "racially ambiguous." You know, the dark-skinned girl in Inuit clothing performing Chinese-inspired martial arts, that's real AMBIGUOUS.
I also think it's best if I wait like five years to see it cause i feel like if I see it now, I will be too angry to actually enjoy anything.
I'm not interested at all, TBH. I saw the trailers and they look so grim and devoid of the humor that made Avatar great, even in more serious moments. It was an Epic Movie, not Aang's Movie.

THIS. I must be getting old because irresponsibility is starting to become a major annoyance of mine. POUT ON YOUR OWN CLOCK, DON'T RUIN OTHER PEOPLE'S. I just think about the shoot -- all the photographers, assistants, designers, techs, managers, staff -- all of it GRINDING TO A HALT because Xu Mei is too sad to come into work or pick up a phone. Gah!
