Moonlight Rhapsodia

[gogmagog]

Let's Positive Linking!
- A scan from a Michael Jackson shota doujinshi. Because even if he's been acquitted, nothing will stop the doujinshika! (Not worksafe.)
- Paris Hilton to "retire," presumably from her full career of slasher flicks and bimbo-out-of-water comedy series, in 2 years. I love how she talks about how "she doesn't enjoy going out anymore, it's such a pain." Uh, yeah, then you DON'T DO IT, you vapid twit.
- Adult Christianity, for your daily dose of sacre-licious goodness. (Possibly not worksafe, due to discussion of Christian BDSM and the like, and definitely not for the easily offended.) This is probably most well-known for the OC/Jesus "O come holy spurt" gay pr0n story (definitely not worksafe).
- I <3th Darth. Because we all know Darth Vader has iTunes installed inside his helmet so that he can listen to ABBA.

Also, the Suikosource forums have started discussing Rhapsodia: Suikoden Tactics. From my viewing of this, I've come to three conclusions:

1) Yuber fanboys are muy annoying.
2) A lot of people hate Suikoden IV, not for the inane ship movement system and less-than-stellar music, but because OMG THE CHARACTERS WERE LESS DEVELOPED THAN IN OTHER SUIKODENS!!1! ...Um, have these people played the original Suikoden? I mean, I love it, but characterization? Not its strong suit. Also, they hate it because OMG WHERES YUBER?, and are prepared to hate Rhapsodia for the same reason. (Did I mention Yuber fanboys are annoying?)
3) A lot of people also hate Snowe. Which is kind of understandable in a way, given that he is kind of an ass, but in the end I don't get it. Because really, even though he's such a whiny CYA failure, I don't understand why people hate him and love Jowy, given that his actions totally made more sense than Jowy's batshit insane actions during Suikoden II. x_x

I just said the same thing not that long ago in another discussion. >D I wish they'd bring it back!

And I don't really get the Jowy > Snowe thing either, yosi. Maybe it's because Snowe is so obviously a sniveling coward (though that's part of what endeared him to me, go fig)? People seem to be more forgiving of lunacy than chickenwussery. Then again, everybody and his beta-reader seems to love Draco Malfoy, and he's a sniveling coward with no redeeming features whatsoever (as far as I could tell. I gave up on the HP books around #3).

I agree that people favor the crazies. *cough*Sephiroth*cough* But really, it's realistic to have the chickenwusses - I mean, not everyone can be swaggering, plucky young adventurers who would rather die than desert a friend! Life isn't complete without the people who value their own skin more highly than others'!

And they like Draco because he's blond and rich. And also because people seem to have an obsession with rivalslash that is completely beyond me (personally, I've never gotten the whole "he acts like he hates me, that means he actually wants to *unf* me he's actually in love with me" thing either)*, and so they need to noblify up Draco so that Harry doesn't come off completely pathetic.

* Except in a case like GetBackers' Ban and Fudou, where there's all kinds of talk about throbbing and desire mixed in with all the talk about killing. XD

I've actually managed to not let the fandom turn me off Haripo - I'm still holding on and enjoying the books, even if it is kind of ridiculous that I feel the need whenever a new one comes out to read it in one night. x_x
