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 ~~make~~ let 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.")

H-hello, nice to meet you... by glassed on 2014-06-05 13:35:00 UTC Reply

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. ^^

Hey! Hi! Hello! by Iximaz on 2014-06-07 23:53:00 UTC Reply

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

It's okay! by glassed on 2014-06-24 12:52:00 UTC Reply

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

Hello, newbie! As for your newbie gift...
*rummages in bag of holding*
Here, have a snowglobe with a replica of your favorite fictional locale inside!

Thanks! by glassed on 2014-06-07 07:37:00 UTC Reply

And hello to you too senior! Now I can finally see a mini-replica of the Holy Grounds island from KHR!

Hello, hello! by eatpraylove on 2014-06-06 19:51:00 UTC Reply

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.)

About that... by glassed on 2014-06-07 00:39:00 UTC Reply

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...

And thanks for the fudge!

Hello there! by Desdendelle on 2014-06-06 09:35:00 UTC Reply

Since other people pointed you toward stuff, I'll just give you this cup of mao feng jasmine tea.
Just don't let the leaves eat you.

Thanks! And hi to you too! ^^ by glassed on 2014-06-06 10:04:00 UTC Reply

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! ^^

Well... by Desdendelle on 2014-06-06 10:43:00 UTC Reply

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 glassed on 2014-06-06 11:01:00 UTC Reply

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?

Re: Eh? by Desdendelle on 2014-06-06 13:08:00 UTC Reply

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 glassed on 2014-06-06 13:35:00 UTC Reply

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. ^^

Hello! Love FMA by zdimensia on 2014-06-06 20:46:00 UTC Reply

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 glassed on 2014-06-07 15:31:00 UTC Reply

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...

Snake-lady Chimera. (nm) by zdimensia on 2014-06-07 23:17:00 UTC Reply

Martel was a snake!Chimera and one of Greed's henchmen.

Clams... by glassed on 2014-06-24 12:57:00 UTC Reply

I almost forgot about her...

Thanks for telling me. :)

Hrm. by Desdendelle on 2014-06-06 16:02:00 UTC Reply

I'm usually not a favourite character type of guy, but in this case it's pretty simple: colonel Mustang.

Huh... he's a pretty cool guy. by glassed on 2014-06-06 16:18:00 UTC Reply

By the way, what're your other fandoms?

Short answer: lots. by Desdendelle on 2014-06-06 18:03:00 UTC Reply

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 see... by glassed on 2014-06-07 00:03:00 UTC Reply

Unfortunately, I only know several of them...

Are you saying you watched Gerry Anderson's Thunderbrids?

Gimme an internet high-five right now! It's really cool to see such an old show have fans today.

Of course it does! by Huinesoron on 2014-06-06 19:30:00 UTC Reply

That's a pretty good reason! by SeaTurtle on 2014-06-06 20:59:00 UTC Reply

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 Huinesoron on 2014-06-07 09:03:00 UTC Reply

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)

May I then assume... by the Irish Samurai on 2014-06-07 08:58:00 UTC Reply

Unfortunately not... by SeaTurtle on 2014-06-09 08:42:00 UTC Reply

...but I know my parents have. My mother even remembers Joe 90!

Now that you mention it... by the Irish Samurai on 2014-06-09 11:36:00 UTC Reply

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

Internet High-Five is Go! by Desdendelle on 2014-06-07 02:16:00 UTC Reply

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.
Though, yeah - Thunderbirds are the awesomest awesome thing around.

What is KHR, by the way? I haven't been into anime lately.

Terima kasih atas penyambutannya! ^^ by glassed on 2014-06-06 10:00:00 UTC Reply

Trims! Dan mau bertanya, kamu dari Malaysia ya? Keren. ^^

[Thanks! And just asking, are you from Malaysia? Cool. ^^]

Ah, KHR is an acronym for "Katekyo Hitman Reborn!" or usually just "Reborn!" by the Viz translations; and it's kind of an old manga-anime series that ended sometime around 2012. ^^

Yes. Yes I am. by darklordaakmal on 2014-06-06 17:10:00 UTC Reply

Haven't been reading Reborn! for some time. Good times, good times.

Here, have a virtual kecapi Bugis. This musical instrument will surely help you lull Sues to sleep, if you have found the virtual manual I have misplaced.

Thanks! But... by glassed on 2014-06-07 00:21:00 UTC Reply

I think I'm going to keep it somewhere else before using it--for safety precautions. Haha...

Yeah, but the fandom (usually ffn.net) nowadays contains reincarnated-self-insert-OCs--although some are good, it's still kind of sad. For me at least. And made-up flames...and Sues too. Definitely Sues too.

That's what many fanfics are, unfortunately. by darklordaakmal on 2014-06-08 00:13:00 UTC Reply

I try to find worldbuilding fics, as they are more immersive, although I usually burned out from reading it. But it's worth it.

It's kind of rare... by glassed on 2014-06-08 00:35:00 UTC Reply

In the KHR fandom, I think; I usually go there to relieve stress or something, but word-building fic is good too since my English is...odd.

Let's just say they bite. Hard. Also, very well! Now to business. What do you fancy? Pick a melee weapon and a ranged weapon, and I can be back to you as soon as I think of some way to make a functional weapon out of them.

Also, UGH. I hate exams. I like crack-fic, though!
