Yuusuke is dreaming of an AID Christmas....

[rkold]

sumeragiskank is visiting me, so I have not been on-line much. I tried to make some time to work on the new penal-tea update which should go up sometime tomorrow and we're still arguing about the fanart contest. ^o^

I also got to see kosquarepelli and I would highly recommend checking out her amazing piccies of WK/PoT. I'm sure no one is surprised to know I adore the way Omi/Yuuta looks.

My mother made me a new hat. It's pink and pretty, and so girly. I hope to share pictures of it soon.

Anyway, I'm now friended to delfeus, fujis, reynardine, and ryoma_sama. *waves* I added delfeus cause I was so amused by her response to a recent post to tenipuri_yaoi.

Anyway, said post and the fact that I'm just a pain in the butt sometimes, has prompted this rant....



I started watching PoT in June 2002, at that time, I did not know really anything about the series or knew anyone else who was watching it. From relatively early one, I became a MomoRyo fangirl *shock, yes I know, everyone just thinks of me as Fujicest, but I started with MomoRyo* but I had no other pairing I shipped. From the start, I did not *SEE ANY TEZUFUJI* cause you know what, it's not there! It's so *SUBTLE* you need to be on crack to see evidence for it. It was completely created by fangirls who wanted to see pretty tennis boys fuck. Now, I have nothing against this, I feel that way about SengokuxMizuki and my new favorite Tezuka pairing, which I ship rather hard. (And *SHOCK* he is seme!) But there is *NO EVIDENCE* for TezuFuji, Tezuka and Fuji don't even GET ALONG WELL! And please, no whining from TezuFuji fans about how they're being oppressed. That is just so sad and pathetic, cause your fricking pairing is among the most popular pairings in the English fandom, so please get a life. I've mostly held my tongue, but I decided after a recent post to tenipuri_yaoi and the fact I was feeling bitchy, that I was not going to be completely silent anymore.

Not only is TezuFuji a crack pairing that has no evidence, makes no sense in the context of the series, and just completely sucks... But I wish TezuFuji fans could spend a few seconds to think about what they're saying and engage their brains. (Which I know is a challenge for some of them.) I mean, I hate TezuFuji, and so, *shock* I do not write it. I do not try drawing it. If you do not like a pairing, don't draw it and then denigrate the pairing. I mean really, didn't your families teach you any manners or at the very least some common sense or courtesy. Also, while I'm on this, Tezufuji fans seem to think they're some sort of born-again Christian sect, and need to constantly share their devotion to the pairing. Leaving a comment on a fic, that has nothing to do with Tezuka or Fuji, on how much you love TezuFuji makes you look brain dead. Think about this in the future.



And cause I'm still feeeling bitchy...



Yes, there is evidence for MizukiYuuta, I'm not going to pretend there isn't. But if you're going to claim it's true love, and Mizuki really cares about Yuuta, I have to ask you, did you watch episode 36??????? I mean, I'm not even going to go into the manga, where Mizuki SAYS "It was really easy to manipulate the stupid younger brother who only thought about his older brother." since most English speaking fangirls seem to ignore the manga. Mizuki does not try to get Yuuta to join St. Rudy's for Yuuta' "best" interest. Mizuki *MANIPULATES* a naive 12 year old boy because he can. Mizuki *TEACHES* Yuuta a tennis move that could *SERIOUSLY* INJURE him and does not *CARE* so long as the team wins! He does not WARN Yuuta of the dangers and let Yuuta decide, noooooooooo, he just takes advantage of a 12 year old boy. It's an abuse of power and trust. Mizuki *IS* the most evil character we see in PoT. While Keigo might try to ruin Tezuka's arm, Tezuka is not on Keigo's *TEAM.* Keigo does NOT have a responsibility to look after Tezuka's best interests. Keigo is also not practically 2 years older than Tezuka. (And yes, the age difference between Mizuki and Yuuta is almost that large.) Yuuta does not show any sort of interest, romantic or otherwise, in Mizuki, after he loses to Ryoma. Yuuta seems horrified, in the anime-only part of 40, where Mizuki promises to help Yuuta train, and in 71, Yuuta leaves Mizuki and Yanagisawa's company to seek out Ryoma *AS SOON AS THEY SEE THE OTHER BOYS*

As for Yuuta being seme to Mizuki....

All I have to say is, you enjoy your nice little crack, I have no idea where you found it, but you're on crack.



And these rants were brought to you by the letters X, Q and Y

The difference me and rafterpeace is this is my personal livejournal, and I should be allowed to give my opinions in my personal livejournal. I did not go to a TezuFuji fan's livejournal and rant at them about their pairing.

I'm not upset I don't have Fujicest stuff because I have a lot. I have more than I probably should. ^^;;; The post that set me off was a bit like the straw that broke the camel's back. If you are curious, it can be found on tenipuri_yaoi. Generally, if a picture or fanfic is labeled TezuFuji, I just ignore it and do not read or look at it. I only looked at said picture as the LJ cut said cute Fujicest picture. Had I known they were going to insult it, I would not have looked. I chose to rant on my LJ and not on the community as it seemed inappropriate and I assumed my personal LJ was my personal LJ.

If someone wants to rant in their LJ or blog about how much they hate Fujicest, good for them. I won't read it or respond, and we're both happy.

Yes, I was bitchy, but I can be in my LJ. No one is holding a gun to anyone's head and forcing them to read what I write.

Er, I'm sorry if I have made you angry.

Why are you apologizing? You've made these persons' day by giving them something else to expel venom over.

I had thought since this was my livejournal that I could say whatever I wanted in it. I put my rants under LJ cuts and sort of assumed people who are not on my friends list who I do not know at all would not read them.

An interesting assumption, unless you make your journal friends-only. You might consider it. Yes, this is your journal and you're free to say whatever you want, but if people can find your rants (as I and others obviously have) and are able to make comments on them, you should accept that as we should accept your rants. You can remove this possibility if you want, and ensure that the only comments you see are supportive and/or obsequious.

Those aren't personal attacks. The operative word is "personal", which means "directed at one particular person"

Actually, a personal attack is one that is aimed at character ("...engage their brains. (Which I know is a challenge for some of them.)") rather than an objective subject ("...TezuFuji a crack pairing that has no evidence, makes no sense in the context of the series, and just completely sucks"). I can aim a personal attack at an entire fandom, without knowing or caring about anyone's names. Also note that my use of the word "objective" rather tongue-in-cheek. I find that particular statement of Rachel's incredibly amusing.

In case you're wondering why I'm responding to this, when I'm very clearly not on Rachel's friend list, it's because I'm a big fan of TeniPuri, and I think it's sad that some of the most public fans of the series are so negative and cliquish. But once again, people who make inflammatory comments like "just completely sucks" in public (yes dear, even behind the Impenetrable Wall of Cut it's still public) desire the "flames" they get in return.
