the epitaph of twilight

The short version: The finale was very disappointing and only becomes more so the more I think about it to the point that it retroactively sucks out the joy of the earlier episodes due to how it undermined what came before.

Comment to this post asking for a list, and I will give you five things I associate with you. They might make sense or they might be totally random. Then post that list, with your commentary, to your LJ (or just add a reply back at me). Other people (including me~) can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself.

sarajayechan gave me the following five items.

Okay, a couple weeks ago I'm babysitting my niece and nephew, and I brought over the first box set of Avatar the Last Airbender. We watch a few episodes, and then I have to go back home, but I leave the boxset with my brother. A week ago my Dad goes over to babysit by himself, and I have him take the second season box set with him, just in case. When he gets back, he has the first season box set, since my niece and my brother finished it. And this week my whole family was going to go over and babysit, but my brother calls to say that he won't be needing our services. Oh, and he went ahead and got the third season box set, because he could not wait for me to bring my copy over! Yep, he will not let his little girl watch without him, because he does not want to miss a single episode!!

Sometimes, it is good to be a fan.

Someone over on Fandom Secrets (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomsecrets/443507.html?thread=259264883#t259264883) tried to claim that Bumi and Suki of Avatar the Last Airbender were white.

Bumi.

Suki.

Bumi, named after the Hindu word for "Earth" and king of Omashu.

Suki, named after the Japanese word for like/love and leader of the "Kyoshi" Warriors.

I just...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!!!

Donquiote Doflamingo, what do you think of this?

"FUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFU, THIS IS A RIOT!"

I see, and what are your opinions, Marshall D. Teach?

"ZEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, THIS FOOL BE DREAMIN'!"

Very good, and you, Monkey D. Luffy?

"SHISHISHISHISHISHISHI, THAT GUY'S EVEN WEIRDER THAN THE GRAND LINE!"

Well, there you have it; three infamous pirates with very healthy senses of humor all agree, this is hilarious.

And finally, let us remember the words of Mr. T, and give this fool our pity.

Leave a comment on this post and I will pick three of your fandoms. Then you get to answer the following questions:


Avatar:
1. The first character I first fell in love with: Aang, such an honest guy who's really struggling to do the right thing.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Zuko, mostly because of backlash against the more enthused fanboys and fangirls.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't: None, I love them all.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates: Aang, apparently the limit on deus ex machina is two, not three.
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer: None.
6. The character I would shag anytime: I'll go with...Ty Lee.
7. The character I'd want to be like: Aang.
8. The character I'd slap: Zuko, you putz, no text message break ups!
9. A pairing that I love: Kataang
10. A pairing that I despise: Zutara
11. Favorite character: Katara. Aang may have been my first love, but Katara really is on a whole 'nother level.
12. My five favorite characters: Aang, Katara, Toph, Azula, Mai
13. My five least favorite characters: None
14. Which character I am most like: Sokka. I tend to make a lot of wisecracks anyway.
15. My deep, dark fandom secret: I really, honestly don't get why fandom thinks Fire/Water is so significant in the series. It isn't!

.Hack:
1. The first character I first fell in love with: Mimiru, very energetic and eager to help.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Haseo, I never would have expected his development to have been so complex and involved.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't: None, I love everyone in their own way.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates: Mistral. Screw all the haters, energetic pregnant housewife who helps save the world for the win!
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer: None.
6. The character I would shag anytime: Pi. Because Pi is delicious!
7. The character I'd want to be like: Kite, I wouldn't mind becoming a legendary hero.
8. The character I'd slap: Zelkova. Stop being so damn mysterious!
9. A pairing that I love: Tsukasa/Subaru
10. A pairing that I despise: I don't despise it, but I don't like what Haseo/Endrance does to Endrance's character.
11. Favorite character: Ovan. Damn, but did he know how to run a Xanatos Roulette
12. My five favorite characters: Subaru, Crim, Sanjuro, Kuhn, Atoli
13. My five least favorite characters: None.
14. Which character I am most like: In all honesty, Elk/Endrance; I'm a bit of a shut-in, though nowhere near as neurotic thankfully.
15. My deep, dark fandom secret: I like both versions of The World.

Yugioh:
1. The first character I first fell in love with: Anzu. She is just one of the most human characters ever.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Yami, he came across as too much 'standard issue hero', until I got to the manga and saw what he came from. Whoa.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't: Yami Malik, mostly because everyone else seems to have a completely different conception of what Yami Malik is like from the actual canon.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates: Anzu. Oh no, a girl, she'll ruin everything with her friendship speeches, aihhh!
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer: Seto Kaiba. I've mellowed out on him a lot. If it weren't for Mokuba, I'd have forgotten about him entirely.
6. The character I would shag anytime: Mai Kujaku. For fricks sake, look at her!
7. The character I'd want to be like: Yugi. That gentle strength is something to admire.
8. The character I'd slap: Seto Kaiba, please to stop being in denial!
9. A pairing that I love: Anzu/Yuugi. Hits way too many of my buttons for me not to love it.
10. A pairing that I despise: Seto/Jounouchi.
11. Favorite character: Anzu.
12. My five favorite characters: Yugi, Anzu, Jounouchi, Honda, Otogi.
13. My five least favorite characters: The anime filler characters with the exception of Rebecca and Vivian.
14. Which character I am most like: Early Yugi, very quiet and meek in person.
15. My deep, dark fandom secret: I hate that people are so unaware of the manga
