The rants

[rynne]

For jurhael: Final Fantasy X-2
...You know, I liked it well enough, but really. Rikku, for fuck's sake, put on some goddamn clothes! That goes for practically every other female in the game too (except bloody Shelinda *rolls eyes). Leblanc, WTF are you wearing? Square, what is up with you making people's clothes almost defeat the purpose of clothing in the first place? *facepalm* And in the gameplay department...too fucking easy. I hate it when a game's too easy, and the FF series is just getting easier and easier. Regular bosses and regular enemies just aren't challenging, and the secret bosses sometimes are only until you power up enough. Lately Square seems to equate "challenging" to "tons of HP", which just isn't true--Angra Mainry, or however it is your name is spelled, you are OWNED. What's-his-name down beneath Bevelle probably would be too, if I wasn't too lazy to go down there and find out. Storyline was all right, though I really hate it when things are brought up in sequels that haven't even been mentioned in the first game/book/movie/whatever--the fuck is Vegnagun? Why couldn't there have been some bloody foreshadowing in FFX? This is why there shouldn't be sequels to FF games. (Unless it's Advent Children, because I WANT I WANT!)

For angelevangeline: People who refer to anime as Japanimation
Only people who know nothing about anime call it Japanimation. Dude, it's anime. Anime is, at least, a Japanese word--as evidenced by it being on the list of hobbies my Japanese teacher gave my class, as anime. Japanimation is a stupid mashed up word for Japanese animation, and is obviously Japanese, so people could at least use the damn Japanese word for it. *stabbity* Besides that, everyone who knows anything about anime calls it anime. IT'S ANIME.

For sullacat: Public bathrooms
Erk. I hate those, even in the good casinoes where the bathrooms are all fancy and have couches and stuff. They're icky and they make me feel unclean. Especially the ones at our school. I'm the secretary of our literary magazine, The Mirror, and whenever I had a Mirror meeting at lunch and work right after, I had to go get changed in one of the school bathrooms because my boss said no wearing jeans to work. I'd have to change in that cramped little stall and try not to accidentally touch the floor with my bare feet, cuz urgh, no idea what's been on that floor. Icky icky icky. I hate having to use public bathrooms.

For sandy_phoenix: Hate threads and general intolerance within the fandom
Why the fuck can't people live and let live? Especially in VENOM, with the Can't Stand threads. *STABS THEM* Stupid things. THERE'S TOO MANY OF THEM. If I don't like a character or a ship, I just avoid discussion of that character or ship. I rather wish Remus/Snape didn't exist, but I'm too busy being in my little bubble of Remus/Sirius happiness to think about Remus/Snape unless directly confronted with it, and then I just ignore it. Things are not only easier and happier for me, but other people, as I don't inadvertently hurt someone by outspokenly hating on something they like. Honestly. Energy spent on hating something is better spent on loving something else.

You can still request rants. And raves, too. Those are always good. :D

Very, very well put indeed.

Energy spent on hating something is better spent on loving something else.

That is exactly right and beautifully put.

*KISS*

Hurrah! Bravah! :D *squishes*

Ahahaha. I actually thought "Japanimation" was rather clever until I learned there was a real word for it.

Rant about the general unfairness of life and how it likes to collapse all at once on you?

Just a short, illogical spiel is good. >_

Hear! Hear!

I do hope that when you're referring to FFX-2 women wearing more clothing, you were willing to leave Paine out of that. Because my world would be a better place if Paine were BUTT NAKED.

Other than that, I love you. *smooch*

PS: DON'T GO TO BEVELLE AND FIGHT TREMA, I BEG YOU. I don't care if you want 100% completion, don't fucking do it, you'll want to kill yourself. It took me three solid weeks of nothing but gameplay to get through that part.

[rynne.livejournal.com]

Hee. *generously sends you Paine in her thief's outfit* *g* But Rikku has no excuse--she needs to wear more clothes.

Erk. I do want 100% completion, just so I can see that final conversation with Tidus myself, but three weeks? Damn. I'm on like level 60 of it now...

[cenori.livejournal.com]

YAY!! *glomps teh slutty Paine*

But, yes, Rikku definitely needs to start covering up. She's what, like, 16? O.O Plus, OMG GET A DIFFERENT HAIR-DO.

Hmmm... well, level 60 shouldn't be too bad. It just gets really hard and really annoying the deeper you go. I spent so much time fighting random bosses that I pretty much got up to level 99 just by wandering around down there.

Do you have a gunner in your group that has the highest level of Happy Trigger? If you do, put the Catnip accessory on her and keep her HP in the yellow. This way, every hit does 9999 damage, so if you can get ten shots in one Happy Trigger, that's a million points of damage right there! ^__^

Haha!! Those are great. How about a rant about dogshit on the sidewalks. You can never hate dogshit on the sidewalks enough. :)
