basildestinyThe bug has bitten. And I am smitten.
Currently I am listening to FF radio. ._.
I joined a Crisis Core community last night. I joined a fan fic community and then just as quickly left. I know a lot of folks dig the slash stuff, but it has just never been my cup of tea. It feels like it cheapens or perverts the relationships. Someone can't sacrifice for another without it turning sexual somehow. It can't be that Hero Sacrificial Love which has always been something I admire. It has to be love. Nothing wrong with love. There is just something about the Selfless Sacrificial kind.
I almost made the mistake of saying I'd never felt it--that I'd never done something out of that kind of love. Growing up, I stayed in a really bad situation because I convinced myself that was the only way to keep things from falling apart. I did it because I loved my siblings. Knowing that kind of love, I can't stand to see it slashed up.
And I think that's the most in-depth analysis I've ever given to it. That must be why slash has just never been my cup of tea. It doesn't make sense for me. And while I can understand not wanting to share the male leads, it just seems OOC. For me, it would be like a mother sacrificing herself so her male baby could live because she really wanted to make out with her son. Not to say that doesn't happen, but it most definitely isn't anything I admire. If you substitute that scenario in the place of this heroic act, it suddenly becomes something else. An interesting plot point indeed, but nothing heroic. I realize that's not how slash is meant to be, it's just how it comes across to me.
I may finally app to an RP because I have a character I want to play. Actually I know I will app, but right now I am enjoying the procrastination. And that's a joke since I've already spoken with the two other muns who have pups in the fandom. There's also an Aerith or will soon be an Aerith, but I have no idea who is playing her.
I have also already made a journal for my character. And I have written out most of the application apart from the entrance post.
Oh did I mention that I amprobably going to sell the Nintendo DSes and all of my Pokemon games so I can get a PSP?
Make the insanity stop!
ETA: Had to change my layout. The fox was a little too happy-go-lucky for Mr Zack.
ETA2: There's this Collie in rescue down in Houston. If he's still there when we get out of debt (he's been there for several months already), I was going to adopt him. He's a mix with something so he looks like a Collie, but black instead of mahogany. And apparently he was hit by a car and has this scar that looks like a Nike swoosh. I was thinking I might call him Sephiroth, if I adopted him. Trouble is that he's got a really happy spirit. So... if I get him, I may name him "Zack."
