[OOC] All The Memes

[littlestdeath]

I am almost at 2k and I am ridiculously bored since LJ is eating all my comments, so:

First Impressions/Question Meme!

LET'S JUST DO LOTS OF STUFF, OKAY.

If I had as many characters as you I would not bother with plans, either. I just get to OCD over Machika because she is the only one I have to worry about. :)

THE JOYS OF A SINGLE CHARACTER.

Anyone you want in camp who's not in your canon?

[littlestdeath]

THAT'S CHEATING I want everyone from my canon. ;A;

UHHHH seeing everyone from di[e]ce in camp would be cool but that will never happen because they do not all have enough canon. I think the cast of Akagami no Shirayukihime is absolutely adorable and it would be cool if they were all here too. I super miss stalking Teito but I almost do not want another one to come into camp because the last one was so perfect. :( UHMMMM There are a million book characters I would love to see in camp but it will probably never happen so I let that dream die ages ago. Also I want all my canonmates here SO THERE.

REVERSE or conversely tell me what got you into Tales of Vesparia because I am interested in it. :|a

[indepondent.livejournal.com]

Characters from cartoon shows! My Little Pony, Carebears, Space Ghost, WHATEVER I WATCHED IN MY CHILDHOOD because I don't want to be the only person apping into these things. Also, it would be great to see characters from Raymond E. Feist's Magician or characters from the Bordertownverse. Also, people from Psych so I feel less guilty about dropping Shawn.

Tales of Vesperia is one of the best RPGs out there because it is deliberately set out to thwart the RPG trope. And it does it spectacularly. Yuri is a hero with dubious morals, and it is continually addressed in the game and never brushed aside. Flynn is a guy with strong and consistent morality who has to deal with upcoming problems that threaten the world. It's fascinating to see them all develop! Even Estelle (for all her SHELTERED FROM THE WORLD PRINCESS TROPE) is intelligent and makes no excuses for her naivety. The whole game is a great focus on RIGHT AND WRONG, THE JOYS OF HAVING A FAMILY AND A TEAM TO SUPPORT YOU, CONSEQUENCES and so on. Also, despite the fact that characters could be at odds with one another and still cultivate a strong friendship is great to see.

also, it's one huge polygamy and I love polygamies.

So every single one of my Lit teachers ever has drilled into me that sword=penis. I could not stop giggling during the Yuri Vs. Flynn fight. "orz

RELEVANT QUESTION what console does one need to play this game? Or is there at least an anime for it that I can watch?

[dotdotdotmunch.livejournal.com]

Noooo, even without that drilling, it's still... the same. :x way to go boys.

It's out on the PS3 and Xbox360! And there's a manga, but it's slow. ALSO the entire thing is up on youtube and it's an easy watch.

[littlestdeath]

EXCELLENT those game consoles and youtube are both at my disposal. \o\ \o/ /o/

...You keep commenting with different journals and I am really just waiting until I get through all of your characters or something hahaha.

[dotdotdotmunch.livejournal.com]

SADLY THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED.

[littlestdeath]

I think you ruined my combo on purpose.

I get lazy with my logins.

[littlestdeath]

I--I can't hate that face.

OH I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION if you care. :|a What is the appeal of Vampire Diaries, I am curious why people like it. I am assuming it has strong points since it has such a large fanbase.

[jerkchester]

Crazy fanbase, really.

Okay, so The Vampire Diaries starts off with a Twilight-ish premise and the first four episodes are pretty terrible. But as you go on, you find out that the brooding vampire is actually snarky and interesting and deeply empathic! And his crazy psychotic brother is actually crazy and psychotic and not horribly misunderstood. The heroine is not some damsel in distress and stands up for herself without any help! And her friends are not just there to show she has a social life, but have their own diverse and enjoyable storylines! The plot moves so fast it really grabs you by surprise, and the characters have lots of room to be fleshed out. Also, there's a lot of town and vampire history/lore that comes into play with mixing old with the new and I supremely enjoy that sort of storytelling. And it is one of the very rare TV canons that actively ships an OT3 instead of focusing on stupid things like ~love triangles~, ~sibling rivalry~ and so on.

Basically, if you missed Buffy, TVD is good for you.

And a Fandom Primer

I thought this only sounded appealing because it was 2am but I re-watched the clips and no, it actually sounds interesting. Which is kind of terrible because I hate vampires and somehow get into vampire things anyways. I can only blame myself. B-but I enjoy OT3's too much to not check it out now.

I KNOW IT'S STILL SHOCKING TO ME TOO.
