This entry has absolutely nothing of content

1) Thanks for the congrats yesterday ♥ (and this is the cue for the rest to say it belated, if you want! I don't mind!) As birthdays go, it was good at day and and lousy at night. Oh well, I wasn't expecting anything special so it was cool in a general sense.

2) I still need opinions about my blog plan. Even "don't care"s help, actually.

3) This World Cup? SO WEIRD. Just saying.

4) Morty's gym was easier than I expected, huh. Then again, I brought my Drowzee and my Togetic and went psychic on ghosties.

4.1) Again, ignore this.


5) Finished reading Blue Beetle, and while I really liked it and every single character in it? Man, I so don't have the patience to follow a DC character to other series. Welp, back to download more 80's!Wonder Woman.

You too, heh? Damn what happened. People used to LOVE answering silly polls.

Inorite? Maybe it was the lack of the "ticky" option? You can't put a silly option for a radio question in a poll, since it's only one answer, and then no one would go for the real questions.

I'd rather honesty like the in-between reply like yours, which I actually appreciate, than everyone just skipping the poll. Both of our polls were really similar in the fact that the decision will affect the whole structure of our journals, and that's amusing.

right ticky option. People are still not tired of that one >_>;

on further consideration, I think I might actually succeed more at really your entries on the Illiade if it was a blog. Or perhaps not. There's a bunch of blog I'm subscribed which I end up never reading because my attention span goes wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I'm the opposite: I concentrate better reading text in LJ, while the blogs I do follow are more on the audiovisual side. Probably the ?style=mine thing helps since I like uniformity.

And that might be it, I think. Yes, I know I answered your poll, but... it was pretty much the "do whatever you want" option. :P It feels really, really weird to tell other people what to do with their own journals, and I'm probably not the only one out there who feels that way.

I understand that, but.. the thing is, even if I go and do whatever I want -it's my journal I talk about what I feel like it blah blah-, I'm aware that when someone avalanches many posts about the same subject they alienate those who aren't interested. And then, they can't tell you this because it is my journal, and it's just easier to filter me out or defriend without getting to know me well. I'm in a moment with very low self confidence, so the last thing I want is to feel like a burden to others. Were this a fandom, I'd just act according to how many fellow fans are in my flist (FMA posts = not guilty = continue; Okami posts = very guilty = made another journal). But this is mythology, which is a weird topic full of WTF and the occasional squick, so IDK.

Happy Belated Birthday! /throws confetti, fixes crops on FMA icons

Also, please post the reviews of mythology-butchering series. I get the feeling they'll be as great to read as [livejournal.com profile] oryssein's old posts on TRC and its discontents.

Thanks!

To be fair, the butchery is a trope I'm strangely fond of, to the point it has to be extremely bad written or have a pet peeve of mine to derail me from enjoying the whole plot. (Which explains why I love things like Okami despite of the WTF premise.) So those reviews are going to be more subjective opinion and less funny nitpick MST-y, in most cases.

Graciaaas!

No es que sea falta de ganas ganas, es más bien un "de verdad quiero tener que aprenderme un cast como los Teen Titans?". Porque encuentro que me gusta leer series con un protagonista titular, pero cuando son grupos masivos y mutables cuyos miembros se originaron a su vez en otras series (o son legado de héroes de otras series) y tienen muchos años de tirada, no me inspira mucho :( Peor aún si son de estos eventos crossover épicos destrozacanon.

Happy belated birthday! I'm glad you had a good day.

I'm all for crossposting from that blog of yours, I love reading those kinds of things (I voted for 'post the whole thing', but linking to your review would be fine too).

ETA: Huh, did I post twice? I see only one reply, but your comment count increased with two. :S

Thanks!

I saw two replies, but deleted the extra. LJ is weird *pokes*
