WORDS!
Also known as the wonderful thing you can do to try out plot bunnies without having to write a whole fanfic and thus keep your brain from exploding from all these ideas! :D
Over the years, I really got addicted to them - after I discovered how beautiful rpgs can be if they actually work out.
The fun thing about RPGs is, that I… never managed to get any RPG working with other folks, even if we liked the same pairings - because you need to, well, get what the other persons wants to say with the entry, which can be quite difficult. So basically, for real good rpg-ing, you have to have synchronized brains. Which means that ALL the rpgs that ever worked out are those I did with karnimolly - and these rpgs are so awesome and fun, it is addicting! <3
Of course, our beginnings were awful, of course, but nowadays they are all great (because when two geniuses get together, there can only be awesome results ;). Even the *---* - ones.
And she is the only person in the universe I could imagine to do real-rpgs with - without it being awkward. :) (Or how do we even manage to rpg via phone? I am quite amazed by our skills!)
I love RPGs for providing me with all the stuff my fangirl brain could think of and that I could never manage to write. It is also very helpful for getting to know certain characters and to experiment how relationships might work.
But most of all, it is fun to play a character that really suits you (Seto. Eternal high-standard bitching. Funny enough, Jet or Crow would be other characters that just come natural to me) - or that is just so much fun to play (Jack! Oh God, Jack). :D
Impersonating YGO-characters is just ----awesome. ;D
2) Yu-Gi-Oh!
What brings us to the next topic - Yu-Gi-Oh!
It is scary how much a really stupid series revolving around a (apparently ancient Egyptian) card game and really freaky character designs can occupy thousands of girls 24/7. And me, oh Lord, I’m one. ;)
Or rather used to be one, at least. Back then when I wrote the name “Yami Yugi/Pharaoh” on chain letters promising me my true love would come one day. *laughs* I just found this letter when I packed my things to move to the city where I’m going to university now. Fitting, isn’t it?
And how much I developed from this fated day I wrote this silly thing down!
I now… still love YGO.
And it’s spin-off 5d’s, although it keeps kicking me in the face for that.
How can I ever resist a bunch of card-game obsessed guys with a hilarious fashion sense who provide endless possibilities for any kind of slash a girl could wish for? XD
Well, to be honest, the only thing that changed is that I now love YGO and 5d’s, almost every character from both shows and consequently also a huge variety of possible pairings. Which makes things (like fanfiction writing) more difficult and results in me barely writing anything. ^^”
And as I’m prone to love ridiculous things, my love for YGO will probably never end. There are too many awesome people who enjoy the gayness of it all as much as I do, which makes being a YGO-fan way too enjoyable! :D
Also, there are too many wonderful pairings in it I never get tired of! <3
3) Age-Gap/Shota
Again, a perfect transition.
Molly did an excellent job in choosing these words. XD
To tell the truth, I don’t have to say much about this, except for:
durrhurrhurr~ |D
Okay, maybe I should elaborate this a bit further. ;)
Basically, I love rival ships and all that jazz, dynamic relationships, some hatesmex and also devoted love and fate and all this.
And then there is age gap, which is probably my ultimate kink. I like to involve it in everything and when I see a hint of it anywhere, I jump on it, obsess over it and will probably even write fanfiction about it (because age gap pairings are often awfully neglected).
I can’t decide what I love most about this!
First, there is Seto - the incarnation of my love for non-con, shota and age difference-stuff.
I blame Seto’s abusive stepfather and his riding crop! Also I blame Pegasus for blatantly hitting on him. And Roland for being his loyal subordinate. And all the business men that Seto had to deal with in his first months as the 16-years-old CEO of the Kaiba Corp.
Most of all, I blame him for being a skinny, pale, blue-eyed boy with issues. And I love issues on characters, I love them so much.
Seto who can’t distinguish between love and sex, Seto who is just educated to function that way with business partners, Seto who is uptight and gets taken care of by an experienced person like Pegasus or Roland…
It’s just beautiful.
Second, I have a weakness for young boys who are intelligent, bitchy and/or smug. I don’t know why, seriously. I have this enormous love not only for Seto, there also is Noah Kaiba (I seriously can’t decide if I love Older!Noah/Seto or Young!Noah/Seto more XD) and Ciel Phantomhive. And generally any slightly scary genius boy with a total lack of social skills I lay my eyes on.
Then, there are guys like Jet, who are just asking for it. *laughs* Now, seriously, when I saw how Mongke looked at that poor little boy… arrh. I can’t resist. Jet is so twisted and this adds so nicely to it!
And third, there is Jack Atlas. I saw him and I wanted an older man to pair him with! So I placed all my hopes in the (apparently) random appearing Rex Godwin - and, well, I wasn’t disappointed as they shared a quite interesting relationship. ;)
So I finally have a character who is just made for Age Gap, as Jack seems to be very easily manipulated by men like Rex - and the best thing about Jack is that he’d love it, as long as the sex is good. :D Also, he is very desperately in need for someone to teach him some manners…
As a real couple, this constellation is probably my favourite: Older Man/Teen - or, in Jack’s case more like Sugar Daddy/Sugar Baby. ;)
To make a long story short: Write some smut including a nice Age Difference and I’ll love you forever. Or something along those lines.
I even read various books partly because of that! Namely, Artemis Fowl (boy genius with strange relationship to his butler), Peter Pan (Peter/Hook. Love.) or The Picture of Dorian Gray (it screams Rex/Jack, really).
4) Books
Isn’t this just going perfectly? XD
So, books. Can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em, I guess.
The one thing I hate about books is that there are so many of them. Sometimes, I just simply can’t decide where to start! And then I read nothing. ^^”
Well, to tell the truth, I never really read nothing. I’ll probably always read one of those books I read already ten thousand times AGAIN.
As soon as I was able to read, I was kind of addicted and I also obsessed about the books I loved (I am a very obsessive person, yes). I read them again and again, listened to audio books, and drew pictures and all that stuff. ^^”
So I still have this love for books for young people - they are the most imaginative, the ones that allow you to be part of another world and also the ones you can’t read too often, because it will always be a pleasure to meet the characters again and to relive the adventure they got themselves involved in! :D These are the books that I really hold dear, that I (mostly) own and that I need to have on my shelf. <3
Then there are those books that are extraordinarily well-written and show a wonderful use of language and therefore are a delight to read, books that inspire me and make me think in ways I could have never experienced by myself, books that are… well, there is a reason I’m (mainly) studying German and English literature. ^^”
And I’m very thrilled about some of the books we are going to discuss! If done in a good discussion, I enjoy analysing language and stories. :3
Also, now that I have to read certain books, I read lots and lots of book I shouldn’t read instead, which is --stupid, but well, at least I’m reading more again. ;)
I decided to read more Kafka (Die Verwandlung and other shorter stories of his), I finally got to read The Importance of Being Earnest and now I couldn’t resist The Picture of Dorian Gray, I’m reading Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead for class and therefore bought a copy of Hamlet to reread it, too. And, as always, I’m reading The Lord of the Rings again - I tend to start reading this again and again, because this is not only a book that provides me with a world so familiar and characters that are really close to me, it is also the book that made me love the English language, so it’s always a very special joy for me to read. <3
I can only hope I’ll stay this motivated and eager for knowledge. XD”
5) Roller coaster
Now I couldn’t think of something that would lead to this topic. ^^” It is more or less the exact opposite of the last one - I always loved books, and I always despised roller coasters. I never dared to really try, to tell the truth, because those little ones that simply drive in circles made me dizzy and also it hurt, because you’d always hit yourself while being thrown from the left side to the right of these awful seats.
So, I didn’t see any point in spending money for this. It wasn’t thrilling, it simply hurt and made me feel sick.
But then, karnimolly tried to persuade me and finally talked me into trying some real roller coaster rides with her.
And because I can’t say no to her, at least not for too long, I took her to Europa Park on her birthday. How I regretted this at first! I knew I had to get through this if I didn’t want to spoil her day, but it was hard because I couldn’t hold me up and was tossed from one side to the other - and I was scared as hell. ^^” So, I almost managed to spoil all by complaining… until she decided, we should finally try a decent roller coaster, instead of these lame things I prefered, because they didn’t look too scary.
So we rode the Silver Star. And for the first time, I wasn’t scared senseless. It was comfortable, I felt secure and wasn’t tossed around… it was great. :D
It was then I realized that the real roller coasters with the nice, comfortable seats were less frightening than the small ones - and they didn’t make me feel sick.
So we had an awesome day, we even rode this fast crazy thing with the looping and all this upside-down-stuff - and I had fun. XD
Even these insanely long queues (2 hours, sometimes!) weren’t too bad, because how can things be boring when my Plüsch is around! :)
This was the day she cured me from my fear and showed me that roller coasters can be awesome. :D (She can do that kind of thing - she also cured me from my fear of wasps!)
And that is probably why she made me talk about this. ;3
I encourage everyone who loves rambling about random things to do this meme, too. ;)
