What the fuck? "sissy-uke" (and yes, I had to fucking look it up!) Really? Dude, he just woke up to find out he couldn't hear- it's not a fucking hangnail! I think he has the right to be freaked out and not be the strong one!!! Seriously, wtf!?!?! And if you're going to insult my characterization gimme something more than that or why the fuck bother- esp when you're insulting such a sensitive matter? Tell you what asshat, you come back and e-mail me once you've been there or know someone who has; then maybe I'll listen to your blathering. Until then, be glad 'm too angry to reply to you...

Seriously?! Someone did that! Insensitive much.

I KNOW!!! I keep trying to calm down about it and it just makes me angrier. I'll calm down, I will, no really. ARGH...

Wait, what? Someone wrote that to you about a story of yours? WTF? Makes total sense to wake up and notice you're deaf and still be totally relaxed. Not. *shakes head and hugs you*

*nodnod* I still can't believe, I keep going over it to see if maybe somehow I misread it... I mean, how can you think that? I thought he was fairly calm considering, but, hey... how can you say someone's being whiny over something that major? I don't get it. *shakes head*

WTF? If someone is attacking your characterization of Merlin I have some Psychology of Deafness textbooks that I will loan them. Having both studied Psychology of Deafness and known several people that have gone deaf suddenly I thought you did a wonderful job of expanding Merlin's character into that situation and portraying a fairly accurate picture of how he would have acted, if not even more hysterical or withdrawn. As far as Arthur goes, he felt guilty for what happened to Merlin and since he cares for him he is also scared and thrown off balance. Your Arthur came across as just that I thought. Give em hell, Mys.

*hugs* I know it wasn't perfect or anything, but sissy? I just... cannot believe it, I would've been offended even if they'd said they have a friend who was deaf, but to just say that? Then they were all "maybe I could see it" I want to smack them, repeatedly, preferably with the book of yours. I keep thinking 'm gonna calm down... it's not working... and really I want to be calm before I answer them. Either that or I'm gonna tell Arthur and let her do her thing, she's much more knee-jerk and brash than I am.

I have no idea how to say it but I read the review and I think it's not as bad as it sounds. From what I saw, she's mostly from the Japanese animation fandom where characters are defined as seme/uke (top/bottom) but it really affects all their personality, like if you're a top, you're not supposed to show any feelings and be cool whatever happens to you. I'm just saying she may be biased towards Merlin's characterization and she probably has no idea how offensive the word sissy can be.

Anyway, what I wanna say is to stay cool. The pit is full of flamers and idiots ^^ *hugs*

By the way I thought your characterization was great, sorry not to have left any review, I was kind of down lately and stayed away from LJ.

*hugs* Calm, sane, and less biased remarks are always welcome, promise. ;) I'm finally calming down, it just, I was upset before I looked up what it meant and it just kinda threw me over the edge. For what it's worth I'm probably going to just ignore it, as upset as it made me I have to remember my own cardinal rule- fandom's supposed to be a happy place and there's no room for pettiness or flame wars- and as upset as she made me I'm not gonna risk starting one. *sigh* They're still an asshat. :p~

No worries, hun. And thank you for that. (I'm kinda surprised you found the review, not many of the ppl I actually know travel both paths, lol.)

Somethin' happen? *nosey Mys is nosey* You feeling any better? *sends extra hugs*

I won't argue with the asshat thing :D

I spent a long time in the pit before migrating to LJ. I still try to find fics there with very small fandoms but I'm usually disappointed.

Nothing really happened, I get a little depressed from time to time, but it was worse last time, so I left

merlin_land and

tvrealm and just went into lurking mode. I'm glad to say it's over and I'm feeling better now ^_^ *hugs*

Lol, I keep leaving it and going back, last time the got me drawn back in was because so many SPN ppl where over there. I'm probably gonna go back to just putting my SPN fic there and using Make Believe for the rest, I know Make believe isn't cool anymore, but it still makes me happier. Haha, I almost never read fic over there, only when someone recs something pretty much (and then I usually go see if they're on LJ and read it here). *shrugs*

Oh, hun, I know of the Black Dog and it is evil. *hugs tight* 'm glad you're feeling better.
Now, pls, allow me a moment to freak out over you leaving

merlin_land. AGGGGHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who's gonna keep me sane with all those weirdos!?!?! *is all alone now*
Okay, freak out over. I noticed you'd been quiet (and a bit worried when you weren't in the RP), but it never crossed my mind that you actually left... I'm sorry it was that bad. I would have been tormenting you with cookies and hugs if I had known.

I had totally forgotten Make Believe!!

I'll probably come back to

merlin_land at some point ~~unless S4 makes me lose all hope for the show~~. There's still Cheeky over there ^_^
Thanks. I just tend to keep everything to myself when I'm bad and come back when everything's better ~~which is supposedly not really healthy. I may have to work on that.~~

Yeah, these days Make Believe slips under the radar esp with the newer fandoms, like Merlin is truly atrocious, last I checked there were less than 50 fics in the fandom at all and over 20 of those are mine. *head desk* But I like to pretend they still make up for quantity with quality. :P

Erm... can't you come back even if S4 makes you lose all hope?
Okay, yes, there's still Cheeky, she could probably be on her deathbed and there'd still be Cheeky, but.. but... Cheeky can't keep up with my random SPN tangents, besides it feels odd not giving all those discussion points to Team Arthur (not that we're doing that many discussions these days, but still), lol.

:) I understand, really, I do... ~~and no, it's not the healthiest thing, but if I said that it'd be kinda "pot" "kettle" "nice to meet you".~~ I know I'm not the sanest person around, understatement, but if it ever gets bad and you need someone to talk to or to just listen you can always poke me, or club me over the head with a small woodland creature or a large one for that matter, though it might be kinda hard to get the right leverage and there's always the risk of permanent brain damage.

I'm not sure I'll still want to play if TPTB destroy everything with A/G and Arthur's characterization, and almost everything else *sigh*
I can safely say you gave more points to

teamarthur than some Arthurians ;)

Thanks ♥ I wouldn't want to cause you brain damage, it doesn't seem to help Arthur~~, he's not getting any brighter~~.
