~~wherein reena despairs for everyone is a plebe.

now, i know people are insensitive morons, in general. but it still hurts, in particular.

in the very particular, i always hope that something deeper, more meaningful, more transcendent could possibly be received on the level it's intended, without being made fun of and mocked and ridiculed. why can't groups of people in the 18-24 year-old age group act -possibly- around a semi-mature 16, maybe, at least? sometimes? maybe?

so many times i'm in a group of my supposed peers, people who are supposedly "fans" (in this case, of anime), and they -cannot-, cannot. shut. up.
    i don't know how many of you have watched any X (the anime series). suffice it to say, it's not a funny-haha kind of show. it's a meditation on destiny, choice, free-will, good, evil, love, and so on. it's gorgeously animated (there -is- no actually better drawn anime that i've ever seen), the dialogue is wonderful, the voice actors are very well-cast, and the storyline is intense and gripping.
    and like, a quarter of the 30-or-so people in the room just could not seem to stop making lewd comments and stupid dorky jokes and basically mst3k-ing the whole time i was there. i mean, giggling and laughing softly is one thing. making loud, obnoxious "funny" homophobic comments is another.

there was a loud groan and/or laughter at every possible & impossible semi-subtexty moment. i mean, i love subtext, and there is a lot of it in X. but, this is just making it into a huge big joke. and if there is one series that is not intented to be taken lightly, it's X. it's intense, and heavy on the melodrama and symbolism and angst. there is no. fucking. point. in watching it if you're just going to use it for cheap laughs.

it's just....
( it's just, i'm overly sensitive, i'm sure. the end. )

mmmmm, yummy fanart. i could've -sworn- i've recced foxfur's fanart before, but i'm not sure. hmmm. but, this is seriously the yummiest tom i've seen in awhile. not to mention snape & harry 1 + harry 2 & oooooh, harry/draco. *purrrrrrs* ok, happy now ^-^

~~umm...

ok, well... er....
i don't quite know how to say this...
but.
i'm sure in the future, one or more of you will defriend me. and that's ok. no, really. i may feel slightly hurt, but i'll be fine. there are lots of good reasons to take someone off your friends list.
    it's just, it's a paranoia-inducing thing, anyway. it makes people not friend people in the first place, because they haven't had any assurance they'll be friended back, and stuff....

and i'm not really the sort of person who gives in to the little voice that says, "reeeena, oh, reeeeena. they'll de-friiiiiend youuuuuu," and try to say whatever comes to mind even if i think it's boring and possibly stupid. ahem. but. please. please?
    just as a future reference. um. it would be nice if you let me know why you did it, whenever you do. just. less paranoia = a good thing, no? i think so, anyway.
