WHAT, another Escaflowne fan! No way, get outta town, I didn't think there were any left!
Here, have a remote controlled mini Guymelef! (powered by hamster hearts) Careful, the auto pilot is a bit sticky.
Hi there! My brother, NewKryptonite, introduced me to your institution last week, and I must say that I'm both entertained and intrigued. He knows I love Fanfiction and has asked to partner with me in joining your site. I am a she.
Now, he jokingly told me to create a comprehensive list of my fandoms. Yeah, no. That would take far too much time and you wouldn't actually want to read the whole thing. Thus, here is the short list which I regularly go back to and/or for which I often peruse ff.net.
Books:
Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit, Deltora, Harry Potter, The Last Apprentice, and the like.
Movies:
Avengers, Rise of the Guardians, How to Train Your Dragon, Big Hero 6, Sherlock Holmes, and a whole host beyond.
Anime: GetBackers, Pretear, Escaflowne, One Piece, and a plethora of others.
Manga: NG Life, Kuroko no Basuke, W Juliet, and a ridiculous amount besides.
Cartoons: Gravity Falls, Over the Garden Wall, Teen Titans, Xiaolin Showdown. That's it for these, though I do dabble in MLP thanks to my brother.
Games:
Final Fantasy (7, 8, 9, 10, 13), Legend of Zelda, Jak and Daxter, Kingdom Hearts, Smash Bros...No, I think that actually is it for the games.
So there you go. That's the short list. Anyway, I'm off to read the required literature and to seek out those poor characters and plot lines in need of rescue. Goodness knows, so many out there need it.
Pleasure to meet all of you! See you around!
Welcome to the board! Here, have a Berserker crossbow.
Welcome aBoard! I'm out of Suegar because someone ate all of it, but you can have this Donut Steel! It's literally a metallic torus. Pretty "original" indeed...
Welcome. Have a lucky black cat door ornament. It's totally lucky (if you hear scratching at your doorpost in the middle of the night, it's just your imagination).
I've heard of the GetBackers from a friend of mine. Didn't know if I'd want to watch it though, being only a seasonal anime fan. Would you recommend?
Welcome to the insanity of the PPC! If you have any sanity left, please leave by the door and the janitorial staff will dispose of it shortly.
Now as your welcome gift, you can have this replica of the One Ring that hums like the TARDIS and can be used as the Hookshot (don't ask how that works, it might stop working).
Welcome to the board and here is an Ultra Concentrated Light Lacrima (this item is known to cause death, don't activate it if you want to live).
Have a +1 flaming shovel!
WHAT, another Escaflowne fan! No way, get outta town, I didn't think there were any left!
Here, have a remote controlled mini Guymelef! (powered by hamster hearts) Careful, the auto pilot is a bit sticky.
Then if you do, I have "INSANITY" candy, specially coated with Bleeprin. It has almost immediate effects...
*Rifles through pockets* Please accept this lint stained replica of The One Ring! It's probably safe to wear, but who knows...
Here, have one of my shed feathers, a Golden Snitch with a Poke Ball engraving, a replica of Jack Frost's staff, a bleen Terrible Terror, and a triforce pendant!
Whew, that's a lot of gifts from me. But it's nice to see that we share quite a few fandoms! Yay! :D
That is a lot of gifts! Ooh, I love the feather and the staff! I'll wear the pendant with my new scarf to the social. Hm...I wasn't sure about the Terror and my alligator but apparently since neither of them have teeth, all they can really do is tickle each other. Many thanks!
We're happy you and your brother are joining us. Have a fuzzy gray scarf and a Captain America plushie!
Thanks for the scarf! I'll be sure to wear it to the social. And thanks for the plushie! He'll get along well with my Iron Man plushie. Well, sort of.
To our land of weirdness! Have a hobnob juicebox. There's a random side effect, excluding death because that'll just kill the mood.
Thanks! That was delicious, but I'm freaking out a little now. Everything is appearing in anime style so my brother has random streaks through his hair and I face planted when I saw him. Hurt just a bit. But thanks! I always like to gain a new perspective.
One time, I dumped a couple boxes in the punch at a party and now I can't talk about what happened afterwards. 0u0
Sadly, I only ever played The Precursor Legacy and Jak II.
Here, have this cup of tea. The leaves aren't predatory and most certainly won't try to eat you, honest.
Many thanks! I actually can't drink oolong tea, whether homicidal or otherwise, but my alligator and pangolin both enjoyed it immensely. Though I think the alligator more enjoyed wrestling with it.
Oh, you simply must play Jak III and if you can, Jak X. They are awesome and round out the story nicely. (Word to the wise- don't go near Lost Frontier. Just don't. You'll be scarred for life.)
Since your brother got a shrieking armadillo, I shall give you a screeching pangolin! If the urple bow around its tail becomes too much, feel free to remove it.
Another Last Apprentice fan? Awesome! foofooman3 (my own brother) and I've read the entire series up until the last book, which we haven't been able to get our hands on yet. And then, of course, Harry Potter is my number one fandom. ;) What about Doctor Who? You watch that?
Anyway, welcome aBoard, and I hope you guys like it here!
I had to look up what that was, but thank you! It's so cute!
And thanks for reminding me! I completely left out my TV fandom list!
Merlin, White Collar, Psych, Doctor Who, Supernatural (to an extent), MASH, Hawaii 5-0, and Bones are just a few of the TV fandoms within which my psyche likes to take residence.
Also, a few forgotten ones that insist upon being mentioned: Shadow of the Colossus, and the Tales of series (games); Ao no Exorcist, Natsume Yuujincho, and Free! (anime).
As stated, they insisted, and I don't know about you, but I don't care to be on the wrong side of most of those characters.
...how much Iximaz here loves Harry Potter. Here, let me show you.
Say, Iximaz. Which house was Umbridge in? What were the names of James Potter's parents? What does the spell 'Waddiwasi' do?
Remember, no looking on the internet or in the books. Not that you'll need to.
Umbridge was a Slytherin (duh), James' parents weren't ever named but according to the Black Family Tree Rowling produced they were likely Charlus Potter and Dorea Black, and Waddiwasi, in the one time it was shown, shot chewing gun up Peeves' nose.
*bows and exits*
Although, now I'm trying to think of obscure questions to ask. But, since I don't know the obscure stuff, I can't ask about it! The only reason I asked what I did was because of an internet search. And they told me Umbridge's house was Ravenclaw! Sheesh.
Say, why don't you shock us all with one fact nobody with any form of life outside of HP would know. We need to have our minds blown by the obscurity.
Who won the 427th Quidditch World Cup, and where was it held? And who lost in the final match?
Let me do it by date instead. 2014 World Cup. Not the 1994 one from GoF. Same questions.
Here is your pet alligator. Careful he can be a bit bitey.
The alligator you gave me seems to be a cousin of Gummy so he can be as bitey as he wants. Looks like he and my new pangolin are going to get along just fine! Many thanks!
