"There is nothing perfect. There is only life."
Kaiba’s Origins
Jun 7, 2009 @ 2:16 AM | filed under: Fandom, | 0 comments

I read in my manga that Kaiba’s character is based on this asshole who claimed to be a trading card fanatic and told Takahashi’s friend that he would only teach him how to play his games if he (the friend) collected 10,000 cards. Takahashi thought this guy was a total bastard but realized that he would make a great character. Voila, Kaiba!

Moral of the story? Be an asshole, and you might get a really sexy anime character modeled after you.

Series 1 YGO!
Jun 6, 2009 @ 8:50 PM | filed under: Fandom, | 0 comments

I realized something interesting today. I’m currently finishing the Series 1 Yu-Gi-Oh!, and I feel like every YGO fan should watch it, because it (and the manga would work even better, of course) really shows WHY friendship is such a main theme in the show. You never really understand that in the Duel Monsters series, you just think that they’re friendship-crazed nuts. Like, I just watched episode 23, in which Yuugi confesses to his friends that there is another bieng inside of him and that he kept it a secret because he was afraid his new friends would leave him if they found out. But they affirm that the fact that they’re there means that they’ll remain friends with him, no matter what. I dunno, it’s not much, but I found it a very touching scene, especially how mad Jounouchi got at the implication that he would leave a friend like that.

Also, it’s really neat that Yuugi’s hair and eyes changes throughout even the first series as he becomes more and more confident.

Also also, I can’t get over how sizzlingly seductive Yami’s series 1 voice is. It’s defintiely much less authoritative than his Duel Monsters one, but it’s just very sexy somehow. It kinda reminds me of Dark Bakura’s in the Duel Monsters series, actually.

P.S. Today, I spent HOURS on this ingenious website that lists all the Internet memes ever. What a gem.

RPG Anticipation

mood: :( anxious
music: Must Get Out – Maroon 5

What would you do if the person you loved most in the world woke up from a coma with post-traumatic amnesia that put his mindset a decade back, back to a time when you weren’t together — or even friends?

The ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL drama of the boywholives/dracolicious RPG this weekend is killing me! I can’t wait to read tomorrow’s update. :)

Canon Confusion
Feb 17, 2009 @ 6:47 PM | filed under: Fandom, | 2 comments

You know you’re a fangirl when you get fandom, fanon, and canon totally mixed up. I argued for like ten minutes with Mark about the fact that Hagrid died in the Harry Potter books before realizing I must have just been channeling some really epic fic that I’d read (and believed was better than JKR’s last three adventures). I looked it up and found that a TON of epic fics have Hagrid die, LOL.

And then today I was reading commentary on this HP RPG I really adore, and they said that Rowling had killed Lupin off. I was like… WUT?!?!?! It’s like reading spoilers except for the fact that the series is over and I already read the whole thing, LOL. So I looked it up, and… WUT?! And then I was like… Wait a second… (Snape/Lupin is one of my OTP’s) OMG, must look up stories where Snape qq’s about Remus’s death! And then I realized that Snape had died.

SO LIKE WHAT THE FUCK JKR

KILLING OFF MY OTPS?

Wow. I must have disliked those last three books a lot more than I’d thought, if I had actually completely forgotten about canon, LOL. And not just any canon, either — canon DEATHS! Jeez. XD
