Sup y'all. Kind of a lurker/now poster thing and as an introductory post I would just like to start off by saying that I am by no means a decent fanfic writer. At all. I mean really if you want to sample some of the failed kh related fanfics I could like totally list them all off and post bits and pieces (for I dont think I have any finished fanfic

I pretty much agree with everything you've said. I hate it when people overdramatize things like this. Heck, I know my life isn't as dramatic and soap opera-ish as these people make it out to be. It's pretty unrealistic.

However - and I don't know if you were just being sarcastic for your examples, so forgive me if I'm just being stupid and nit-picky - there's two things that kind of irked me. D: I.E. how you described Marluxia and Demyx.

Marluxia could be... Uh. Gay because... Well the flowers already kind of explain it so all of you Marluxia-loves-his-garden enthusiests are in the okay.Marluxia happens to be my absolute most favorite character of the Organization, if not the entire series. Frankly, I'm really sick of people making him out to be a flaming homosexual just because he can control flowers and plants. (Also, it's arguable that his power is Life itself, hence the scythe, which would be the "Death" part of it.) Flowers =/= Gay. Last time I checked, venus fly traps and pitcher plants are incredibly deadly; if you

It was mostly sarcasm, yes. I don't really have that strong of an opinion on Marluxia and Demyx; since they're two of the most popular characters depicted in KH2 fanfic, however, the way they are written and why pretty much brought that generalization around.

If I was being serious about any of those two dudes it'd be Demyx, and really as a dude i wouldn't find his manneurisms "cute" or adorable, he's the kind of jerk that if I saw in the hallway in high school I'd shove in his locker and start wailing on the door and break his eardrums because uugghhh what kind of a haircut is that UUNNNGGGGHGhhhHH

[oblivilynn]

Oh. xD Well, then! Sorry about that. But maybe you should put up a note about that, because the people in this community tend to take stuff like that kind of seriously (if you haven't already noticed).

Erm. D: I really don't think Demyx is a jerk. He certainly doesn't act like one in the game. And I really don't think a haircut is a reason to beat someone up, but maybe that's just my female brain. You know, using justice and making rational decisions. :D

Imagine if the fandom was ruled by boys like me. Forget Mary Sues, half the fanfics would be like Snakes On A Sora.

[rasenth]

Marluxia is automatically gay now? o__o;
*headdesk*
And Demyx isn't retarded. ;___;

[oblivilynn]

Marluxia is automatically gay now? o__o;

If liking/caring for flowers automatically makes someone gay, well, I guess that old lady down the street is a lesbian. D:

*CRINGE*

[maladaptive]

Holy crap, cutest icon EVER.

[oblivilynn]

I know, isn't it? xD I literally "awww'd" out loud when I saw it. (It's up for ganking, if you want it!)

[blizzagun]

Again, I too agree with nearly every point you've made. Except for the Demyx and Marluxia stuff. (again, as well.)

:O If Marluxia is gay in 'canon' as everyone seems to think, then of course Saïx must be Barbie Girl! *shot*

But, seriously. No. He's kick-ass, and I basically agree with everything oblivilynn said about him. Man-eating plants ftw.

[seris]

Flamboyant, then, how about that.

The dude was flamboyant as all hell--you can't deny that.

[oblivilynn]

In the manga, yes. In the game, not so much. It's debatable whether or not to consider the manga is canon, what with some of the depictions (i.e. the swirling bishounen flower petal sparkly entrance the artist gave Marluxia). In some ways, the manga helps by giving more examples of character interaction, but at the same time, it hurts, because it creates stereotypes like the one you're expressing. :D

[seris]

I don't know I played the game and from what I can remember of the guy I do especially remember him being kind of sparkly around the edges if you know what I mean. The man was not a man of subtlety, if he doesn't make it clear what kind of a guy he is I don't really know what would.

[okami_hu]

I was repeatedly told that I'm "not nice". I'm blunt, businesslike and completely sugar-free. But then, how come I'm the only one who thinks seris didn't mean to offend...?

She merely wants the fanbrats to come up with reasons for one or the other character's behavior, which ISN'T childhood rape.If you're dead set to make Marluxia gay, fine, just don't claim he was raped by his perverted uncle. If you absolutely must to depict Demyx as a retard, make sure it's not caused by rape trauma.

Remember children: Demyx IS percieved as a retard by 90% of the fandom.

[seris]

no please im only mean because my dad used to beat me as a kid

he also lit me on fire once and left my burning remains outside of an orphanage

that was run by wolves

that raped me

and i later developed stockholmes so now i am like totally in love with the alpha male

making me totally gay

[okami_hu]

This is not helping me to like you more. Especially not because I was one of those kids you used to stuff into lockers.

[seris]

A kid with a stupid haircut?

The emo's were the best to cram in there because they made little squeeling sounds, much like lobsters when you drop them in a pot of boiling water.

HAHA, and then minutes later you can hear linkin park through their ipods--
