Basically these two.

mega thread Which famous people have you met?
KatonRyu replied to Reecejackox's topic in Media Discussion
When does someone qualify as famous? The only one I'm pretty sure about is probably M.A. Larson at a con. The others are either well-known in my country, but nowhere else (my stepdad was a news anchor on a large network, so I obviously know him and met many others from that network) or are well-known only within my sport (basically, Olympians who were at the same fencing tournaments as me, who I happened to have in my pool or bracket). -
general media What makes you Ship Characters?
KatonRyu replied to Gaines's topic in Media Discussion
My rules for shipping are basically that I need to like all the characters involved, and I need to see some kind of chemistry between them. Even then, though, I might not ship them for whatever reason. Take Zuko and Katara. I think they've got great chemistry and I like both, but I just don't ship them, even though I completely understand other people do. Oh, and I'm very guilty of pairing the spares, too. Oh, and I might ship characters if I like their fanon personality or even just their name. I ship Harry Potter x Daphne Greengrass just because I like her name. -
Fantasy, absolutely. I wouldn't be able to write a story that doesn't feature anything supernatural in it somewhere, and preferably some swords and armor too. I even self-published a fantasy novel, just because I wanted to be able to say I wrote a real book, even though obviously only my friends and family will ever read it.

What's your oldest memory? How far back can you go?
KatonRyu replied to Cirrus.'s topic in General Discussion
I was either two or three, and I wanted to see if this glass...I don't even know what the word for it is. It was basically a vase without a bottom that you can put over a candlestick to protect it from gusts of wind, or something. I wanted to see if it would bounce, so I threw it. It turns out it didn't bounce, and my parents weren't too happy with my experiment. -
How well do you think you can write or draw?
KatonRyu replied to Gaines's topic in General Discussion
I can write fairly well, but I can't draw at all. I might try to learn how to do it at some point, but for the most part I'll stick to writing. -
technology What are your rules on the internet?
KatonRyu replied to Reecejackox's topic in Media Discussion
- Don't troll - Be mindful of what you share online and with whom. -
Good worldbuilding let down by an incredibly formulaic and simple plot with atrocious romance. Looking at you, Mistborn.

music What song is your guilty pleasure?
KatonRyu replied to Reecejackox's topic in Media Discussion
I don't really have any, because I don't feel even remotely guilty about what I like. Assuming any kind of thing a guy in his thirties wouldn't usually like, though... - The Kid LAROI & Justin Bieber - Stay - Tate McRae - All I Wanna Be So Bad - Taylor Swift - Love Story - Taylor Swift - All Too Well - Taylor Swift - Blank Space - Anything MLP-related -
When I was a kid, sure. Nowadays, not so much anymore. Instead, I ship them with each other.

web Anyone else prefer forums to social media?
KatonRyu replied to zerox's topic in Media Discussion
I very much prefer forums over social media. I just want to post my opinion on a certain topic and maybe discuss that topic a bit with other people who are interested in it. Beyond that, I really don't care to share anything about my life, or read about the things other people are up to. -
I usually do, but it's not like that inner monologue narrates everything I ever do. In quite a few cases, I just 'feel' things and put it into words later when I'm consciously thinking about them. When I'm on my own, I am always talking to myself in some capacity though, either in my head or out loud, if I'm home alone.

I was playing Pokémon Silver ages ago, plugged in to a wall socket so I wouldn't have to worry about my batteries dying. I'd been playing for hours, and it hadn't occurred to me to save the game. I think I cleared Ecruteak City, Olivine, that city across the sea, and then Mahogany Town, Lake of Rage, and the Rocket base, when I accidentally knocked out the plug. Fortunately, my Game Boy still had batteries in it, so it remained on. I breathed a sigh of relief, plugged the cable back in...and the system rebooted, sending me back some five hours. I was...not happy.
-
So do I, I just don't think I'd die even if I did get it. Again, I am following the rules, since I know that some people would actually be at risk and I have no desire of infecting anyone. There are many diseases I fear, but this isn't one of them.

gaming Features you would alter or remove entirely in specific games
KatonRyu replied to Kyoshi Frost Wolf's topic in Media Discussion
The platforming in Doom Eternal. I loved Doom 2016's fast-paced combat and arenas with great mobility, and while Eternal still has those things, I think they've gone a bit too far overboard by adding pretty large platforming sections into the game between combat arenas. It just kills the enjoyment for me because I suck at platforming and the sections don't feel nearly as organic as the combat arenas. I also never liked the Festival Plaza in Pokémon Sun and Moon, and I really hated that you were forced to go there a couple of times throughout the main quest. Just have it as an optional area and leave it at that, please. -
I enjoy both, but I think Gravity Falls takes the cake. The final was a bit of a cop-out IMO, which is a bit of a shame, but I think the rest of the show is easily strong enough to still give it an edge. MLP has had...varying quality through its seasons, but even at its strongest I don't think I'd consider it to be better than Gravity Falls. Having said this, both shows have a very different premise, making a direct comparison a bit harder because I can't really objectively compare them on similar grounds. The reasons I like both shows don't really overlap much, except in the most general of cases.

How do you handle it when someone does you an injustice?
KatonRyu replied to Lexamena's topic in General Discussion
It depends. Certain injustices I can deal with with a bit of swearing, like getting cut off in traffic. If the injustice is really aimed at me specifically, though...I tend not to react to it too well. I'm very bad at expressing frustration IRL, and people being any shade of 'unreasonable' (e.g. Openly doubting me when I'm one hundred percent telling the truth) piss me off immensely, usually leading to me self-destructing in some way. I'm trying to get better at dealing with it, but if something comes out of nowhere I'm probably not going to take it well. -
It's not dead, I just think it's been decentralized a whole lot more. People don't necessarily want to talk to the people who are in their physical proximity, but might very well be having a conversation with someone on the other side of the planet. Even if a lot of their activity isn't aimed at having a conversation, I'm fairly sure they do still talk to people about the stuff they like or come across. It's just no longer to the people they're nearby to in real life.

When was the last time you envied someone?
KatonRyu replied to Cleverclover's topic in General Discussion
Quite often, when people achieve amazing success with their fanfics with dozens of comments and follows and whatever, while I struggle to get even a few. I wouldn't go so far as to claim they don't deserve their success, though. I just wish I had it as well. -
DQ: Is forgiveness really possible without reconciliation?
KatonRyu replied to Tranquil Claw's topic in General Discussion
It is, I think. I don't really need an apology to forgive someone for something. Conversely, reconciling something doesn't always mean I've fully forgiven it. It all depends on the situation and the people involved.- 19 replies

general Have you ever made a Vision Board?
KatonRyu replied to Dreambiscuit's topic in General Discussion
I guess they can work for some people, but I've never used one. I know my dreams well enough that I don't need a vision board to stick to them. -
movies/tv Post your unpopular shipinions here!
KatonRyu replied to ZukoIsBestPony's topic in Media Discussion
A bit old school, and probably not as unpopular as it was fifteen years ago, but ContestShipping (May/Drew) is an absolute abomination and I can't see why anyone would ship it, other than to remove a threat for PokéShipping (Ash/Misty). At least with EgoShipping (Gary/Misty) you could still say that Gary had some character development, but Drew began as a creep and remained a creep.
