The Politesian Log:

It's been a while. I usually switch between (betwixt) RPing and writing fanfic, and now it's fanfic season again. They have their parallels but are mostly different, and for spring writing fanfics is more suitable. For one, there are no deadlines for fanfiction writing. Unlike in RPing, where there's an unspoken obligation to crank out a post when your turn comes up, fanfiction is done at your leisure. Since it's spring and it's the time when I spend a lot more time outdoors, this is more fitting.
Secondly, I am in 100 control of the situation of fanfiction. When RPing, people do the most Mary Sue things. Everyone else has a relatively normal character, who respond to the problems and antagonism within the story... and then one or two Mary Sues come along, who are godly, flawless characters who solve the problems with one or two sentences. Or even worse, I've had enough of dealing with narrow minded RPers who can't think outside the box. Despite the fact that we are RPing in a fictional world, they remain incapacitated by stupid minor details and can't think around them. They have volumes of OOC complaining, acting like victims when they really don't RP at all. How about that? Like people who complain every day about a restaurant but have never been to that one before. So I had it, I had enough of it, and I'm going to be here until I get irritated with this place and then return to RPing. It's an awesome, vicious cycle.

People who Rock
Inulover4eva - The imouto-chan I never had. She's very strong and outspoken, just like a certain persona on Gundam Seed. What more can I say? Our affections extend to her in that sibling way because she rocks.
Intro:
Hey there, I'm Polites.
Ex-forum RPer, now exploring the process of writing fanfics. My style is a slightly sarcastic but neutral narration, 3rd person, and with as many vocab/conversational phrases stuffed into my writing as possible.
Content wise, I just love taboo relationships...
My real name is Rudy. I'm 19, now a sophomore in college. Which is relatively old here, everyone else is like... 14! I'm Asian.
"ladies, try Asian tonight..."
I like literature, and my vocabulary (conversational cliches + 19th century words no longer in use) is a byproduct of all the things I've read. Usually stuff now considered classic and timeless, in other words, boring high school required reading texts ... (I love them though, especially Shakespeare). I also like modern liberal arts, like anime, manga, manwhas, and even other people's fan fics. However career wise, I'm trying to switch into Food Science, because that's my other passion, cooking.
Hit me up on AIM if you want to talk about anime, fan fics, and so on, @ Polites898.

Analysis of Characters:
-Athrun of Gundam Seed. I do not know if it's his uniform or his demeanor, but while watching the Gundam Seed series I've prayed so many times that he dies from his arrogance. He is way too good, way too flaw-lacking to be a character. And he has stupid long purple hair. Strike One. And when it is revealed that Lacus is his fiancee, I was like WTF?! His wife to be is a beautiful idol to an entire nation of people, as well as the wealthy daughter to a major political power? Strike Two. And the most abominable crime he ever performs as a character... is that fated scene in which his actions gets Cagalli to fall in love with him. No! Strike Three! No! Just no! Cagalli, that feisty and awesome adventurer, falls for stupid Athrun? The character I find most lively and interesting is now paired with the the character whose guts I hate.
Since Athrun is essentially a Gary Stu, I will one day write my own fanfic where he gets killed off. Perhaps Rau La Crueset. Or better yet, a more inept character from the series makes him kick the dirt bucket. Yeah, a janitor accidentally screws up his Gundam while cleaning it, and Athrun dies once he flies out.
One of these days...
-Haruhi of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. At first glance, I was like "what magic did the anime artists use to draw a character so F-ing cute..." A few anachronistic episodes later, I changed my mind and thought "holy crap, this would be the most annoying person in the world if real." Her voice pierces my ears and psychologically stabs my mind every time she exclaims something, and if I was a girl, I'd feel like slapping her. Though later on, I found it cute again the subtle way she has an infatuation with Kyon. Kyon seems to like that other girl more, Mikuru or Miruku. In real life, he's probably just following his biological instincts. Mikuru (or is it Miruku) has bigger breasts and longer hair. Isn't there some biology rule that those things mean better fertility or something? And males are interested in more fertile women? That's why people like big racks?
-Mikuru of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. A time traveler from the future? She looks more like Kyon's little sister from the future, just with lighter hair, and more timidness. That'd be interesting... if Mikuru was actually Kyon's younger sister. It would explain why he's so drawn to her, and maybe why the higher ups in her organization told her to not be infatuated with him. Nah, it's not that, I'm sticking with that above theory in that above paragraph. She has long hair + thin waist + big bosoms = better fertility, attracts Kyon's eyes. Haruhi is average physique with short hair, and on top of that, an irritating screechy voice (which I hate as well!) so she's no match for Mikuru.
-Rock Lee of Naruto- this is my homes, seriously, the favorite underdog of any series. Clearly, he's the reincarnation of Bruce Lee, and yet in terms of relative strength, he's only average. The prospect of him getting girls seem dismally low too, as I can't picture him with any girl. Bruce Lee had a Caucasian wife, so Rock Lee should bring home a white girl. The problem is that it's just that 1st of all, everyone in Naruto, including people who look white, are Japanese. 2ndly, I still can't imagine him with any white looking girl. With Sakura? Nah, she has issues. (you see, when I was 13, girls didn't really give a damn if the boy they liked went off to join evil or something... let alone break down, cry, and offer their bodies to him in hopes of persuading him to stay in the village. They'll just move onto another boy.) Ino? Nah, she's too materialistic for his polite, mild ass. I don't think she'll find his Beatles hair cut sexy, or his weird green suit trendy. With Temari? She's too fierce, which doesn't have any chemistry with Rock Lee's courteous, zen like mode. There would be a very disturbing age difference with Rock + Tsunade. And this is just rich... on deviantart, I found people who actually like Rock and Gaara as a couple. I'm not anti-gay at all, but those two individuals together is just gross. Friggin gross as hell. I felt like cringing when I saw those drawings. So my 3 step program for Rock Lee...
1.) Stop being polite. Time for an attitude adjustment. Get out there, and kick ass, and insult people in between. Stop whimpering and start snarling, or, smirking as if you're hiding some inner technique that makes you kick ass.
2.) Get a haircut. Forget the bowl thing. Just bring in a picture of Jet Li to the local barber or whatever. Anything Bowl cut. Then, with your new look and your new attitude, go hit on those girls I've mentioned (except for Gaara, who nonetheless is actually a little girl).
3.) Now, this isn't something Rock can change. But let the universe of Naruto get some actual laws of physics. Rock Lee is a mixed martial artist, a UFC competitor in the real world. He should be kicking everyone's ass, since everyone else has stupid things like
-An eyeball that can hypnotize people. Whoop de doo, but let me tell you, in my world, a UFC fighter can kick a birthday party's magician any day of the week.
-Controlling sand. What the hell? Pour water on him so it becomes cement or something.
-Hands that can do thunder laced strikes. How do you defeat Pikachu? Hmmm... use a rock pokemon
-A guy who, if he tastes your blood while standing in a circle he drew in the ground with chalk, can stab himself and inflict those wounds onto you yourself. No comment...
