What is this with me posting regularly all of a sudden?! Mercury must be in retrograde. Both stolen from Sooz-one just wasn't enough so I searched through old ones like a stalker. And unlike my usual self I will actually answer this time.

Give me a character from any fandom I know at least fairly well, and I will tell you:A) My OTP ( Read more... )

This is the best rebuttal to the 'Avatar characters don't look Asian' nonsense I've read so far..

As much as I've pretty much wrung all the fandom I can get out of Trigun (though I still want to see the movie, eeee), sometimes I'm reminded of how rare and awesome it was that the slash girls and the het betties of 100bullets came together and LOL'd as one instead of tearing each other apart, and I halfway want to go back.

Kind of fascinating, really. Who knew that the ability to watch Soul Eater at one's convenience was a human right.

Dear random IchiHime fanperson who I'm obviously not really writing to,

I'm not gonna argue with you about whose ship is right, because that sort of thing is just dumb and we should all be able to ship who we like and be fine with it. But I have to ask: Rukia "knows that Orihime is even more important to Ichigo than she is"?

Really? How does she ( Read more... )

Anyone who doesn't see why smooshing names together when it comes to fandom ships is stupid needs to look no farther than Avatar fandom and Sukka. Good Lord.

Although I kinda like Kataang simply because it makes me think it's a cool sound effect.

Aaaaand the comments on this ANN article amuse the shit out of me. Instead of people LOLing at some ( Read more... )

Just FYI: don't care what people ship and I don't care if they think my ships are dead wrong. But if you get on your snotty high horse and post something like this
