Random rambling about fandom and other things

[yukitsubute]

Hello everyone,

another week has past :) How are you doing out there? 

I want to ramble about a few things today ^^

1.) I am in total Eurovision song contest fever right now :D I am really looking forward to the show tomorrow. Do you have a favourite? Mine are Croatia and Austria (of course....) but I also like Bulgaria pretty much. <3 Tell me your favourites if you have some? 

2.) I started watching Aiba's drama, and I really like it, even though it's a little bit strange. *lol* It has a small piece of humour, and normally I don't like japanese humour much, but this one is okay. ^^ And I started watching Kame and Pi's new drama...yeah .... nothing more to say. I started it, and I think I won't finish watching it.

3.) I normally don't get into discussions with fans anymore, because I really try to stay out of every fan bashing and all these stupid fans, and till today it worked out perfectly .... but one comment and everything else is different. The ones who really know me, know how hard I tried to at least like Sakumoto a little bit, because actually it's totally not my pairing, but today all the small liking I could built up in the last months is gone again....I really don't want to repeat my talk from today, because I don't want to get annoyed again, I am just apologizing to everyone where I am reading regulary and who loves writing Sakumoto, because I won't read this pairing at least during the next weeks.
I am really happy around here, but it's hard to like a pairing you actually do not like, and you try your best, and then it's just them starting a nonsense discussion ...

4.) Aside from that I have the result from the poll I made. Again thank you to everyone who participated in it. ^^
We have these winners: Jun, sea/mountains, Sho, grumpy and romance. ^^
It will take some time till I am done with this, but I will do my best. ^^

Eurovision!! Australia of course. (Even after eyebrow boy missed a note in his semi.) And there is something about Portugal that I am fascinated by.
Why all the solo performers this year? And so very many white see through dresses?

I guess I won't see you for a while then since you know my otp. *sob* But I understand.

Poll result sounds good. Good luck with it.

[yukitsubute]

I really liked Australia :D Oh no, Portugal was totally not my song. >< I loved Bulgaria, Croatia and of course Austria. ^^
Yes, I know, there were so many white dressed singers oO

Yes, I am sorry, but I got really mad on Friday when I saw some posts. Last time I got so mad was back in Kat-tun fandom, which was much harder to handle than Arashi had ever been, but these reminded me about times back then. I can't understand this one pair only fans, and everything else is stupid, bad, horrible and whatever...and especially some statements from (so called) Sakumoto shippers about Aiba annoyed me to death. I regret that I read these things.
I need some time to come down from my anger, and maybe I'll be back reading Sakumoto anytime again. I am really sorry about that.

Thanks, let's see what I make with your votes.

I've heard about Eurovision, but I don't know how to watch it xDDDDDD It sounds cool!

Oh man... :/
I won't ask what happened, but I totally understand you. I had a similar experience with another pairing. Sorry you had to deal with people like that :/

The results sound interesting ^^

*sends millions of hugs your way*

[yukitsubute]

It was really cool, though I don't like the winner song. ><

Oh really? Which pairing was your discussion about? I don't know why this has to be like this. And it's mostly someone from the most popular pairings, means Ohmiya, Sakumoto or Sakuraiba. I really don't understand, because even though I have only one pairing I like, I don't need to bash the others. And I hate this for example: Nino belongs to Ohno and there is no one else who is allowed to be with him....I mean, seriously???????

Thanks, let's see what I can make with the results. ^^

*hugs to you my dear*

[akhikaru]

I've seen many comments like that on Twitter about the winning song xDDDD

Sakuraiba :/
I used to ship both Sakuraiba and Sakumoto, and the people I talked to at first were Sakuraiba shippers. I stopped liking the pairing because they /always/ were hating on Jun/Sakumoto. It was awful, and I still can't recover from it. What hurt me the most is that these people said such things knowing I was there (and that I shipped both pairs).
It's not easy to ship Sakumoto, even if it's a popular pair now because so many shippers of other pairs (including the other two popular pairs) hate the pairing/the shippers (when there are also extreme shippers in their section of ship-dom). On the other hand, I don't like people who go "MY OTP IS THE ONLY VALID ONE", even if they ship the same pairing I ship.
UGH! That ohmiya comment oh my god... I can't tell you how many times I've seen it xD
I'd rather people minded their own business and stopped bashing other pairs. In an ideal world, it'd be nice if we could enjoy all pairs, but that won't happen so... xD At least we could try to maintain peace!

Can't wait to see the result! :D I see you said in other comments that the two people in the results aren't necessarily a pair... and I like that! :D (as long as nobody is a jerk to anybody hahahahaha!)

[yukitsubute]

Oh, I can imagine your problem with Sakuraiba....this pairing has really some strange fans....I don't get this hardcore shipper, and I will never understand it.
Yes, I hope for this ideal world, but I am sure we won't see it ... at least not soon ....

Nope, it's never meant that they end up as pair, but it was nice to see that everyone believed this, so everyone voted for their OTP and it won't be the pair :D *evillaugh*

[akhikaru]

Hardcore shippers are scary, yes *nod nod*

Hahaha I don't know about the others, but I picked the two Arashi members I like to read about the most xD I supposed that they'd both be important to the story somehow xP
Will be looking forward to whatever the result is ;)

[piggywhale]

* squeeze you real tight for whatever some Sakumoto fans made you feel * ❤️ I hope you feel better soon.

But now that you are less interested in Sakumoto, will you still write the voted story as Sakumoto? * evil grins*

[yukitsubute]

Thank you dear, I am really mad right now, but give me some time, I will relax again *lol*

Oh, everyone thought that person A and person B in the poll would be the main pairing, but that was never meant to be like this ;)

[piggywhale]

"Oh, everyone thought that person A and person B in the poll would be the main pairing, but that was never meant to be like this ;)"

Yessss!!!!!

You have just made my day 👏👏

[yukitsubute]

:D :D :D I am glad I could make your day <3 <3

[kittykaty]

Um, I cannot say much about the Eurovision Contest because this just passes me without me even taking notice of it... ^^;;;

AIBA'S DRAMA!!!! Well, I am overly happy to watch my ichiban on TV again... though I still don't know if I like his role or not... he's hot, no question, but I don't get Kizoku LOL His servants are cute and Hana is as well. I am totally shipping Hana and the maid LOL I love the ending credits... they are so pretty and well, I love the song ;)
I really really want to know what's going on with Kizoku and why he is behaving the way he is and what's this thing with Aika's master... Sky and me have our theories tough^^ (and this reminds me that I should write the Episode review for ep 4 before the new ep airs on Monday^^;;)

I really don't kow what you're all doing LOL I usually manage to stay out of this hate and bashing and whatever...
But I also cannot understand people who are thinking their OTP is the one and only... no idea WHY they even think like that. SakuMoto shippers are especially crazy maybe because there is not much skinship between those two so whenever they hug, everybody goes crazy *shrugs*
And I totally understand you. SakuMoto is one of the pairings I cannot read either. I just don't feel any romance between them and although it's a fanFICTION, my imagination doesn't provide me with any sweet scenarios while reading... I could write SakuMoto in the past, but I cannot anymore. And one of my fav authors is a SakuMoto shipper, but even though I only read her stories with other pairings... I think nobody should be forced to read or write stories with a pair that they don't like. Where is the fun then??? O.o

So, I am basically pretty interested in what you're going to do with your poll result. Just don't force yourself into someting, please because writing (or whatever you're planning) should be fun!!!

I shall use the next hours for writing as well. Stories that turn from small indeas into monsters can really put you under pressure when there is a deadline^^;;;

(P.S. my threesome story is finished but not betaed... so it'll take a while until I can post it cause my poor beta is busy with her Nino exchange too~)

[yukitsubute]

Yes, I know what you mean. Aiba's role is .... interesting? *lol*
But I like it so far, so I am looking forward to further explanations about his character and his background :D

I really stay out of this whole bashing. I don't read comments and I don't follow the usuual bashing pages. I was just searching for pairing pictures to make icons, and I saw that some people posted pictures in the comments, that's why I started reading them.
I really don't understand it, and it really got me mad this time. For me it doesn't matter which otp someone has, everyone likes different things, but this one pair only....and some hardcore fans of the others seem to have a special opinion about Aiba.
No, I was never a Sakumoto fan either, I read it because of lilly, but I really can live without this pairing. Though as I said, everyone shall have his otp, I don't bash them or hate them or whatever, I just don't want to read it, because I personally don't them together.

Oh, the poll. I am happy with the result, because everyone thought that person A and person B means that this would be the pairing, but it was never meant that this would be the pairing ;) ;)

Yeahhhhhhhh <3 <3 <3 I am looking forward to the ot3 story <3

*hugs* to you my friend.

[kittykaty]

Yes, that's what's keeping me on the edge of my seat too! Who is he and why is he behaving the way he does!!! I am really looking forward to the explanation they have in store for us (hopefully!)

Yeah, that's the best thing you can do. Just don't read such comments. I also carefully selected my "arashi friends" because I don't want to to hear all the things they could have done better. I simply want to flail about them. They have their flaws but that makes them more natural to me, so I don't want to discuss this.

Yeah, I also think everybody should have his OTP, flail for it, read it, write it and that's it. You're so right saying that everybody can like whoever he wants!

Well, I guess that's what ff writers think about at the first moment. But because Arashi has such a good chemistry, no matter how you put them together, it always ends in a great story! <3

Thanks! Sky will edit it as soon as the nino exchange story is handed in and then I can finally post it. I just hope it counts as a Kaze fic for you^^;

*hugs back* <3

[southview]

I feel the same way about Sakumoto, tbh. I mean I was into Sakumoto because of astrangerenter's fanfics. I'm sick of delusional fans and a lot of bashing around these pairings. Probably that's why I'm changing OTP to Sakumiya. I just want to ship pairings peacefully :")

[yukitsubute]

Yes, me too. Everyone shall write and read what he/she wants, and I don't get this bashing either, it's so sad, and really annoying. ><
