How TutixNagayan-fandom unites the world

Ah there I go with such a sappy title but it´s just the way I feel, honestly. But let me begin with my personal little story of how I came to be a TxN-fangirl first. It was about 2 or 3 months ago when I stumbled over some scenes of Tenimyu on youtube for the first time. I fell in love with the first ( Read more... )

love, fandom, essay

^______^ Thanks so much for posting this. ♥ I definitely feel the same way - I've met a lot of different people from all over the world through this fandom, and I think it's a really wonderful and unique place to be. ♥

I think your last line here sums it up perfectly too. I really think that we're able to be so connected to one another in large part because of the connection and bond that the actors themselves share - both with each other, and with their fans. Somehow seeing that is just a really inspiring thing, I guess? :D Anyway, thank you again for posting this, and I really hope that we all continue to enjoy this fandom for a long time to come. XD

You´re welcome :-) I´m happy that you liked it and I am really looking forward to being part of this fandom for a long time to come. Everyone here is so nice and the chemistry between the girls is as adorable as the chemistry between the guys from 1st cast Teniymu. Watching those guys interact really is inspiring, they should become ambassadors of friendship ^_^

Awwwwww that was so sweet! ;______; This was really nice to read, I love hearing the honest and sentimental thoughts of community members letting us know that we're doing things right and finding out that the fandom and the boys mean as much to them as they do to the rest of us ( ... )

*secretly wipes away a tear* I´m sure the girls you´ve just mentioned in your post will be very happy to hear that they are so precious to you. I´m glad that I was able to inspire you to such wonderful heartwarming words. I hope I will also be able to make such close friends here and spend a long and happy time in this community :-)

*wibbles* You know I feel the same way. ♥

And I hope you won't ever get tired of it either, and I certainly, certainly hope you're not forcibly dragged away. ^_~

(And OMG I just noticed your Lizzie icon~~~ ^__________^)

Considering how often I post up pictures of her and how effectively she's captured the hearts of those she's met, I figured making her the mascot is the next logical step :D

And I love the icon so much, Nacchi is a photoshop goddess ♥

You are completely right. It's quite amazing what two people, who have absolutely no idea how far widespread they are, can do.
All of us are from different locations, some with very different cultures and many, many different backgrounds...but we all do the same thing in this community when we hear those two special names: squeal in fangirlish delight.

This community is amazing. Although, I do feel quite separated at times because I have nothing to share and my work hours prevent me from joining in Lube Chat, I still love this community. It has led me to meet wonderful people, both IRL and online.

Thank you for posting this...it's absolutely the truth.

You name it! It lets you forget your background and your age if you are just able to squeal with the others ^_^ I´m glad you liked my sloppy words and I absolutely understand you, too, because I am also not able to join Lube Chat very often (or not at all T_T)

*hugs* Thanks, glad I'm not the only one.

That's another thing with this community. It makes me realize: "Hey, I'm not alone". Yay!

I agree with you completely. It's hard for me to lurk in this community (because I am the consummate lurker :P), because everyone is so wonderful and helpful and just tries to bring out the best in all of the members.

Thank you for writing out my thoughts and feelings better than I ever could. ^..^

You´re welcome ^_^ I liked how you said that everyone tries to bring out the best in all of the members. That´s completely the truth, otherwise I wouldn´t have been able to voice out my thoughts like this :-) I will stay here forever if possible and I am already looking forward to many more great experiences in our fandom.

Thank you so much for sharing this! ^___^

TxN is definitely a special fandom. There's always something new to look forward to, someone always to squee with, something that can make you forget about your crappy day in RL. I find it quite...amazing really how this 2 japanese guys could have a really big impact on our lives :) I've been in and out of many fandoms for so many years, and this feels like something that you won't get tired off, something that won't get stagnant even after we don't hear from either or both of them anymore. I love this fandom so much ♥

And yes, YAY FOR THE TXN INTERNATIONAL LOVE!♥♥♥

And you can never be sorry for showing the sentimentality I'm sure every one of us feel :D

Yay, let´s make a colorbar with this sentence ^_^ I´m happy that really everyone here seems to think the same way *sighs happily and hugs all the fangirls*

*huggles back*

We do need a colorbar, don't we? ^^
