"Hatsune Miku is good actually."


[down] Alright, it's high time I actually addressed the elephant in the room: Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

You say that in jest, more to highlight the improbability that statement is to leave my mouth, but I actually 100% wholeheartedly agree with that statement. Obviously, the fact that this very website owes its entire existence to this show is testament to that fact. It isn't just any series, after all, that inspires the creation of the very website, whose forums we frequent to this very day. And some of that credit, like it or not, does have to go to Joss Whedon, it was, after all, his creative vision that made the show what it was... but, it wasn't ever just him, because which actress do we owe this website's entire fucking existence to, except Sarah Michelle Gellar? You know, that quippy, snappy, sarcastic, yet heartfelt-at-times cheerleader to make her debut on the silver screen for us all to follow along ever since?

There really isn't ever going to be another television show quite like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, nobody in their right mind is going to think that's possible, and there's a fair chance that even the impending sequel series reboot isn't gonna quite feel the same... which, you know, fans are hoping is in a good way, where it's strange new territory that the series was no stranger to tackling in it's hey day.

This show has left an impact. Not even I'm stubborn enough to deny that.

"No hablo inglés."

Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.

I saw the list of languages you speak, and I just want to say that that's really impressive.

Red/Blue being a item makes absolutely no sense as they're rivals and would never be that attached to each other.

They don't give Pinkie Pie enough credit. Best character in MLP hands down.

"I'll be mildly upset if you choose not to do avvie games."

[down] And the reason for that is because if I'm giving a 5/10 score, that means I'm conflicted on the trope… and thus have a lot more to say about it than usual. I'm dealing with a trope where sometimes I hate the way it's used, while other times the use of said trope fits what the story is going for perfectly. I don't know where this "no strong feelings" mentality came from, regarding 5/10's.

"I like Team Rocket the most."

[down] Okay, but you have to figure that some folks apparently never outgrew their edgy phases, thinking that stuff that are "dark", "edgy" and "dramatic" automatically equate to material that's actually good without trying, likewise with the notion that sincerity is only to be mocked in this day and age. It's fine if someone wants to mock the dark, disturbing dark lord springing up behind them, just to use the example you provided… but one needs to follow that up with… SOMETHING.

Maybe this is a dark lord who hears that sass, and decides, "…You know what? Just for that? I'm going to make this sting." Give the heroes and villains worthwhile material to work with.

"The world sucks, and it's not going to get better because Humans Are Bastards."

For the record, I also strongly disagree with that.

"Armadillos, I'm over them."

OOC Notice: Could we try to touch up on a topic, other than Joss Whedon's line of work for the next thing to talk about with me? It feels like that's all people have been hyperfixating on when making posts about things I'd never say, and while I'm down for lampooning him, you can only talk about him so much before you end up beating that dead horse dry.
