Um, hello...My name is glassed, but you can call me G or T. Well, I kind of get the general view of the whole thing (since I don't have much time to read all of it. *sobs*), so I hope I won't end up doing something stupid in here...or something. Uh, my fandoms are KHR, FMA, Detective Conan, Hetalia, and (somewhat) Letter Bee. Though the main fandom nowadays is KHR for some reasons I don't know--probably because of the many plotholes in the series and stuffs. Also be warned, I'm kind of a socially-awkward and take-things-too-seriously kind of girl and kind of busy with school--so espect weird and slow replies from me.
Trivial detail(s): not a horror-movie fan and a full-blooded(?) Indonesian that speaks both Bahasa and American-English a bit odd-sounding ones.
Well, I hope we all can get along. ^^ -

Sorry I wasn't here to welcome you earlier; I was busy with SAT stuff. Anyway, nice to meet you! I'm probably going to call you GT- is that okay? Here's your present: a squawking miniature urple elephant! Make sure to feed it lots of peanuts. ;D

And sorry for not answering yours too--busy with exams that time--and sure, I don't mind. Also thanks for the elephant--I'm going to call him (her?) Joe~ xD

Nice to meet you! Don't worry about the social awkwardness; I'm the same way. (I just googled Letter Bee, it looks...odd.) Why'd you put a question mark after full-blooded? Is there some dispute about your ancestry that's probably none of my business?
Anyway, your newbie gifts are movie-theater popcorn, a big white scarf, and a classy gray fedora. (Suit sold separately.) -

I put a question mark after it because I'm not so sure if "full-blood" is even a word. And it's okay, I think I just wrote randomly like that since it was almost midnight here, and I got a test the next day. Then again, I'm mostly random and weird in the first place. Ahaha...
And yeah, it still looks...weird up 'till now for me, but the anime mostly have tear-jerkers at the end. *sobs* And thanks! Though where should I buy the suit? Because suits are mafia-icons--and as a KHR fan, I must have on--COUGH! P-please excuse my fan-girl tendercies, they sometimes gets wild... Ahaha... -

Thanks for the greeting, and the tea. ^^ Though, I wonder why people say to me to not trust the tea leaves...
But anyway, thanks again! ^^ -

People told you not to trust the leaves because they're predatory.
Also, nice to see another FMA fan. Though, if I may inquire, which one? The manga, the 2003 animé or the 2009 animé? -
Eh? by

Are they like Venus fly-trap or something? Because somehow, I don't follow what you're saying... Or was it just a metaphor or something related to PPC?
Oh, you're also an FMA fan? Cool. I'm the manga and the 2009 anime (or FMAB)--haven't got the time to watch the 2003 anime unfortunately... What's yours? -

Same as you - Brotherhood and the manga.
As to the leaves... well... it's pretty simple. If you're not careful, they'll eat you. Why, no-one knows. It's semi-related to the PPC - predatory tea makes an appearance in some of my missions. -
Okay... by

Somehow get the gist of it--I think I'm going to lay off tea for a few days... And oh, it's been a while since I see an FMAB fan--usually they're the 2003-verse ones, and the fact I also haven't been to the fandom in a while...
Anyway, what's your favorite characters from the series? Mine's Al. ^^ -

Have a glittery bit of chalk in your welcome bundle.
I'm a fan of both anime versions of Full Metal Alchemist, is that something weird?
I like Martel, more in the first anime than the second, and I lightly ship Alphonse and Martel.
I like Olivier Mira Armstrong, Lin Yao, May Chang, and the Tringham brothers. -
Thanks! by

And hello to you too! Actually, not really. Some people just like to watch the first version and just stick to it (eventhough some of the plot isn't there in the manga). I only watch the second version (and read the manga) because that's the only version my country was airing. (CoughAndI'mtoolazytodownloadthefirstversioncough.)
By the way, who's Martel? Either I'm a not-so-loyal FMA fan, or I forgot him/her somewhere along the manga/anime... -

Long answer, in no particular order (and I'm probably forgetting stuff): Star Trek: Voyager, Yu-Gi-Oh! (the card game, not the meh animés), Pokémon (games up to gen. III), The Culture, Lord of the Rings, various Forgotten Realms stuff, the Bartimaeus trilogy, various Roger Zelazny stuff, Torchlight II, Star Wars, Doctor Who (up until fifth season because screw you Moffat), Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Thunderbirds, Girls Und Panzer...
There're more, but you get the general idea. I tend to drift to and from various fandoms as time passes. -

I have (I'm going to sound sad, aren't I?) the complete Thunderbirds collection in the DVD box set. My excuse is that I'm going to
makelet my children watch it.
(T-birds becomes immensely funnier when you imagine that the rest of the family think Scott is completely useless. "Sure, Scott, you go ahead in Thunderbird One and, uh, set up an operational control station. Right, he's gone - Virgil, let's see what you'll need.")

Respect for the classics and all that. Speaking of which, I should go and unearth the few Thunderbirds DVDs I know I have lying around and watch them again. I really admire the imagination they had back in the day when it came to designing aircraft-- I remember being fascinated by Thunderbird 2's design the first time I saw it.
May I assume that you've watched Captain Scarlet as well? -
T2 is the best. by
on 2014-06-07 09:03:00 UTC

My sister always preferred T4, but I honestly can't conceive of why.
Strangely, the only other Anderson I've watched - other than a couple of episodes of Stingray while it was rerunning when I was a kid - is Fireball XL5. I'm not really sure why - I can hardly claim T-birds and Fireball are the only sci-fi ones! - but that's the way it is.
(Fireball has the best theme song)

I can remember watching Joe 90 (reruns, obviously). Don't think it watched it as much as Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet or Stingray though.

I think I have a few VCR cassettes of Thunderbirds reruns my dad recorded when I was in first grade. Unfortunately, I haven't watched Captain Scarlet.
