Amanda is Random: Can someone tell me why people still give this much of a shit about the FFVII love triangle?

amandaisrandom:

I actually forgot it existed until someone started stirring it up again.

Also, lol no TLS is not brainwashing. Learn to think for yourselves, then write your own well-thought-out-with-legitimate-proof article and they will publish it. It’s not their fault no one ever does.

You can leave…

We don’t care about TLS publishing a Clerith article. We care that something inaccurate was stated by TLS and that people use it as “proof” against our pairing. We don’t care if you like Clerith. We don’t care what you think about Clerith.

We just do not want to be told repeatedly that “Cloti is canon” when in reality SE has said no such thing.

* The idea that “Cloti is canon” is nothing but the opinion of the person who wrote the “LTD is over” article.
* SE has never stated that Cloti is canon.
* SE has never said that the High Affection Highwind scene is canon.
* There has never been a scene in the FFVII Compilation after the Highwind scene which confirms that Cloud and Tifa have a romantic relationship.

That is not bashing Cloti or the fans of Cloti. That is merely saying that SE has NOT confirmed that Cloti is canon, so it shouldn’t be thrown around as fact.

Period.

You obviously do care that someone simply doesn’t agree with your OTP. The writer of that article cited their sources and gave a very in-depth analysis. Did you ever bother to put in research or are you simply just looking through rose-colored glasses? I’m going to guess the latter rather than the former.

I mean, the dude who wrote that was a communications major. He studied how to do thorough investigations and write proper articles with cited sources in college. He’s not just making this up because Cloti gives him all the feels or some such. He did his research, came to a conclusion based on said research, and presented his case. Sorry that it doesn’t match up with your own interpretations.

How about instead of getting angry that people don’t ship your OTP, you put as much thought and research into your own piece as he did and stop giving a fuck what other people ship? It’s still true that if you did, it could get posted on TLS, as you so conveniently seemed to have missed me say in my first post. It’s kind of what the site is going for. Different articles from different points of view would be more the welcome. However, TLS is picky in that they want something that is well-written.

If you can present your case well, the same way that the writer of the pro-Clerith article that was once published did, you can be posted, too. But it won’t stop people who agree with the Cloti article to still agree with the Cloti article.

Besides, that article is a couple years old. Why all this anger now?

bei fong wut?

I actually forgot it existed until someone started stirring it up again.

Also, lol no TLS is not brainwashing. Learn to think for yourselves, then write your own well-thought-out-with-legitimate-proof article and they will publish it. It’s not their fault no one ever does.

You can leave comments on the front page if you want, or you can join the forums and debate it in the now dead-as-nails LTD thread. You won’t be banned from TLS for your opinion on a pairing. It’s not their fault people rage quit because they can’t convert the masses (90% of whom no longer even give a rip about the LTD) to their OTP.

There also actually has been a Clerith article published on TLS before a while back. Go find it.

Now Cleriths kindly get the flip out of the Cloti tag. kthxbai

Top Text: “DREAMING ABOUT”

Bottom Text: “YOUR JOB”]

I was talking about this tonight. We have a very specific order in which to ask what a customer wants on their sub, and a woman who had five of them for me to make was laughing about that when we got to the last one. “Can you say that in your sleep at this point?” “Most likely! You know you’re here too much, though, when you actually dream about being at work.” And that got my coworker and I talking about dreams we’ve had about work.

I think I realized that I had a problem when, on Christmas morning, I dreamed about being at work. Nothing special was happening, it was just a dream about an ordinary night at work. It hurt my soul a little.

Yeah, I know. This photo is stupid. Ironic B-boy posturing is rarely amusing to me, but I came back from color correction to find the studio empty, closed early for Memorial Day weekend. I put this hat on Kevin Coppa’s puppet, and one thing led to another…

RANDOM END-OF-THE-WEEK MUSINGS

–Sorry, it is true that there is no new episode airing this weekend. But a new Korra will be on next Saturday, June 2nd. And it’s a doozy. A REAL DOOZY. In the meantime, Nick.com wanted me to let you all know they made a playlist where you can watch the first seven episodes online, in case you need to catch up, or convert friends, family, babysitters, family pets, etc. Here’s the link: http://at.nick.com/Lv4P9O

–As some of you may know, Korra has been the number one show with teen audiences in the U.S. for some of these first seven episodes. As previously mentioned, I don’t put too much stock in ratings, but this is mind-blowing to me. How is a Saturday morning “cartoon” beating out prime time network shows like American Idol, Glee, The Voice, and Family Guy with teen audiences? We’re all surprised, honored, and baffled. My guess is that the 12-year-olds who were growing up on Avatar are now 16-year-olds, and Korra has sort of aged up right along with them. Whatever the reason, thanks!

–Mike and I love you guys, but we don’t take requests. We make the best show we can, telling the stories we want to tell, and then we put it out there in the world. By the time you guys see it and have “all the feels” and/or get all mad at stuff, we are working on something far, far ahead of that. It may not always go the way you want it to, but at least it is honest art, straight from our hearts. And a lot of these reactions may turn out to be knee-jerk ones in the long run, once you see where the stories and characters go. I’d rather do that than make some watered down “design by committee” thing that attempted to please everyone. If it were up to the majority of the audience, we’d probably have a show where Tahno and the Cabbage Merchant play beach games on Ember Island for 500 episodes… In short, as you guys say, I REGRET NOTHING.

–This is funny, but it never happened. I’m vegan.

–And lastly, my favorite quote from Mike this week, commenting on a cool, momentous shot from the Book 1 finale, addressing the whole fandom: “GIF that and put it on yer Tumblr.” HA!

Have a great, long weekend!

Love,

Far-from-perfect-Bryan

Okay, Bryan, I have a couple things to say after almost choking while reading this.

First off, WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’RE “FAR-FROM-PERFECT”?? YOU ARE PERFECT AND ADORABLE, JUST LIKE SIFU KISU AND BILL, AND YOU GOTTA DEAL-WITH-IT.

2. I love that photo.

3. Korra beats all those shows because Korra is authentic and it’s art at its finest, and I think what we love the most is precisely the fact that you guys follow your own ideas and designs and you do not let any network or any crazy fans to tell you what to do with Korra. The flaw of many shows is that they stay on air for the mere numbers and the plot tends to get repetitive and plain boring. (I myself loved Glee two years ago, now I can’t stand to watch it) What you guys did with ATLA was perfect. It was a well told story, rounded up. As much as we loved the characters and EVERYTHING ABOUT IT, it would have lost its magic if you continued it forever. A story must have a beginning and an end.

So no matter what we say, do not pay attention to our crazy requests and follow your hearts, because that’s what’s made this show the PERFECT FLAWLESS art it is.

4. I can’t WAIT for more Korra. If you say next episode is a bomb, I believe you. You’re probably right about us regretting all our complaints and reviewing our character analysis. And my shipper heart begs me to believe (even though I DO KNOW you’re not hinting anything) you’re saying the love quadrangle or weirdest geometrical form ever invented that the relationships at Korra are are going to change and we might get more *word vomit* MAKORRA!!

5. AGFSDGADSGDAGDSGADSGGADSGDGASDGFGFASD FEELS FEELS EVERYWHERE. I WANT THAT GIF LIKE BURNING…!

Yeah, a long loving reply got ruined by a shipper heart. I REGRET NOTHING.
