Kingdom Hearts Meta-Tree

[mystiri_1]

The idea of this post if to create an easy way to share meta and other fannish things without the pressure to create a separate post. You can write your thoughts on a specific character or pairing - detail why X is more awesome than Y or just what makes you think so-and-so are best friends/enemies/lovers. You can share the music you listen to while writing/drawing KH fic and art. You can share what you think about a specific game, from 'not as good as XYZ', to critiques of art and costuming. The key part, though, is to just go ahead and comment.

If there is a topic you think needs to be added to the comment tree, then simply comment in the appropriate place, and let other people tell you what they think.

How it works:

(Top Level Comment:) Characters
Meta or discussion about characters goes here.
|---------------(Reply:) Riku
                       All musings about Riku start as a reply to this comment. Anything goes,
                       from motivations and changes in his character over the course of the games
                       to a critique of his hairstyle. Have fun.
                       |---------------(Reply:) Hero vs. Anti-hero
                                              Part of Riku's appeal is the contrast he provides to Sora. Sora is cheerful, open, unselfish and
                                              he makes friends with everyone he meets. In contrast, Riku is moody, more inclined to hide his
                                              real feelings, possessive about his friends and suspicious of the motivations of strangers. While
                                              Sora is a genuinely nice person, it's easier to relate to Riku because of these 'flaws'.
                      |---------------(Reply:) The blindfold is cool.
                                             Very existentialist, but mostly just cool. Goes well with all the black.

Current categories for discussion are:

Characters:

Pairings, friendships and other ships:

Fan Soundtrack:

Games:

Links, recs, and other fannish things:

If you can think of another category you think needs to be added as a top-level comment, then please suggest it by commenting below.

Rules are simple:

1. Use the subject header in your comment, please. This lets people know what they are looking at, and, for the games section, provides spolier warnings.

2. Be civil. You may not agree with somebody's statement about a character or pairing, but no bashing. Just reply to the comment and tell us why. Discussion is the whole point of this post.

....it is obvious that none of them are gamers, is all I can say without going into a vitriolic rant of rage.

Not bad, so far! Just analysing end-particles in the Japanese version so far, which in some ways is easy and in others makes me need to ask my supervisor SO MANY QUESTIONS OMG, so. XD;; Have been taking the past week and a bit easy; got through my must-do for my next check in pretty early - discovered I think... 19 questions I need to ask, many of them systematic, but still. So mainly been doing things for my other classes and gaming. |D;;;
But I think it's going well. I really want to do a whole verbal ravaging to the entire field, in it somewhere. ¬¬;; I'm not sure that'd be wise, though. Telling an entire field they're STUPID MORONS WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE ANALYSING is um. PROBABLY THE WRONG WAY TO PUT IT, no matter how much irrational rage I'm filled with. ^^;;;

Sounds like progress! What is that kind of systematic stuff?

I dunno, I got the impression that some people in academics do kind of start that and have intense rivalries. But probably not the best idea, no. ^^;;;

[tyger]

PRETTY MUCH. :|-face FOREVER.

Oh, like does it count either way if someone is interrupted, or does a sentence without a proper literary ending-verb mean masculine in this day and age, that kind of thing. Things you don't think of until you're staring at your transcription and go 'uhhhhh'. ¬¬;;;;;; A few more individual things, but still.

Well yeah, academic vs academic FAITO over YEARS AND YEARS isn't exactly unheard of but me vs an ENTIRE FIELD? Yeah uh that would be BAD. Bad bad baaaad.

[kunenk]

Ooohh.

It would be! I mean. They sort of would have a presence already, yeah? :X

[tyger]

^^;;

Yeah! And anyway pissing any entire group off is always kind of stupid. ^^;; Particularly if you're doing work in their sandbox, so to speak.
