AAAAAAAAH
I LOVE
POKEMON
I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED POKEMON. It was the first video game I ever played. And I have been in love with it ever since. I have filled two pokedexes, three if you count the Kanto dex in Pokemon Go. YEAH THAT'S RIGHT, POKEMON GO FOR FUCK'S SAKE.
Right now I'm wearing a t-shirt with all the Eeveelutions on it. God I love Pokemon so much.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I LOVE??
THE BEATLES!!!
I love the Beatles so much. The Beatles take up almost half of my vinyl collection. Probably more than half if we're also counting post-breakup albums from the individual members of the band. I need their musics to live in happy. There's a Beatles poster in my room right now, next to the framed cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. I also have a Beatles lunchbox. I use it to hold my Pokemon cards. I have two of their movies on VHS. I have quite a few books about the Beatles -- more than I've had time to read. I also have a Beatles pen that I got last Christmas and never took out of the packaging -- mainly because I'd rather just look at it and appreciate it than use it. Paul McCartney is my DILF. I love them all so much.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I LOVE???
DOCTOR WHO
I feel like there are stages to falling completely in love with a TV show. At stage 1, you love it so much that you're blind to its flaws and reject all criticism that is brought up against it. At stage 2, you can acknowledge that the show has flaws, but you still love the show despite its flaws. At stage 3, you love its flaws. With Doctor Who, I am at stage 3. Yes, the continuity is a goddamn mess. Yes, a lot of the time travel plots don't make any sense. I love all of these things. They are just part of the show's charm for me. I've also watched (and love) the Classic series. Yes, the special effects are bad. I love the bad special effects. Also, the continuity is even worse in Classic Who (to say nothing of trying to keep the continuity straight between the two series), and I still love it. I love it when episodes in New Who make jokes about how bad Classic Who's continuity was, like that one episode that mentioned "three different versions of Atlantis", because Classic Who had three separate Atlantis episodes that had nothing to do with each other. Each writer just either didn't know or didn't care that there was already an Atlantis episode, and made up their own Atlantis story. I love it. Doctor Who is just one big, confusing, timey-whimey universe. And I love it. Peter Capaldi is my other DILF. I own a Doctor Who version of Clue, and of Trivial Pursuit. I also own a book that's called "Doctor Who: The Shakespeare Notebooks". And I bought it because I didn't understand what it was. But I did not regret that purchase. It's like... imagine Doctor Who, but re-written into Shakespearian language. Now imagine Shakespeare's plays, but with Doctor Who characters inserted into them. Now imagine the Doctor reading one of Shakespeare's plays, and marking up the page with constructive criticism and suggested revisions. These are all things I didn't know I needed in my life until I had it. Also I have a book that can tell you exactly how many times the Daleks have said "exterminate". But unfortunately, a lot of the information in that book became outdated soon after it was published, because the show is still running. But, as of the 2012 Christmas special, the Daleks said "exterminate" 469 times. They also caused 210 on-screen deaths, and they offered someone a beverage 7 times. Now you know.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I FUCKING LOVE??!!
TRIGUN
Trigun is my favorite anime of all time. Trigun means so much to me. Every time I re-watch this series, I get something new out of it. It feels like every time I re-visit this series, it's helped me reach some sort of emotional epiphany. This series helped me through some of my darkest times. This series helped me recover from being abused. Vash the Stampede is quite possibly one of my favorite fictional characters of all time. He's also a precious fucking cinnamon roll, and I love him. I have a chibi plush of Vash. I also have a wall scroll with him on it. I own the entire series (including the 2010 movie) on DVD. I do not own the entire manga series (yet) because some volumes are surprisingly hard to find. But I would like to point out that I own quite a few volumes IN JAPANESE. I can't even read Japanese, but it's still cool to have them. Volumes 1, and 3-6 of Trigun: Maximum, I own in both Japanese and English. I also own the special edition Trigun: Multiple Bullets manga. And I own volume 2 of the Trigun anime soundtrack on CD, which, I'll be honest, I mainly have for the title: "Trigun: The 2nd Donut Happy Pack". Because that's possibly the best title out of anything I own. Period. This CD also contains bonus audio drama tracks. But they're in Japanese. But that's ok, because you can easily find translations online and read along with them, so... that's cool. Did I mention I fucking love Trigun?
There are more things that I'm obsessed with. To be honest, I'm the type of person who kind of fixates on things for a while when it comes to the fandoms I like. I get deep into my enjoyment of a lot of things. And there are a lot more things I could list. But, these rants just keep getting longer and longer, and I'm kind of running out of steam, so, I think I'm going to cut it off here.
