Hey all. In case any of you were wondering, I vanished for five days to go down to Kumori Con and visit pzb. (Con report to follow, when I... want to actually write coherently, instead of just meme-ing.) I had a fabulous time, except for the train ride back (it took fourteen hours from the Amtrack station in Eugene to my house - to give you perspective, I can go from Eugene to Bellingham -which is  further away than my hometown- in eight hours HITTING TRAFFIC IN PORTLAND, TACOMA AND SEATTLE.)

So, now, last friday's fannish5[livejournal.com profile] fannish5:

 Name 5 characters you think are often misunderstood by fans.


1.) Katara. The people who think she's a vicious, irrational bitch are the worst, but I'm not pleased with the people who treat her like a perfect sweet healer girl who can do no wrong.

2.) Uchiha Itachi. (To be fair, I think 3/4 of the problem is caused by Kishimoto). Look, fans, I don't care how pretty he is. He killed. his. entire. family. and then emotionally tortured his little brother and oh let's not forget about when he TORTURED KAKASHI FOR FORTY-EIGHT HOURS IN KAKASHI'S HEAD.

(I'd add in Sakura, except that if I don't read fics who don't treat her better than Kishimoto does.)

3.) Inara. I think most of the people who call her boring aren't paying attention.

4.) Toph. You love her? Fine. But don't act like she's perfect and made of pure awesome. (Again, I think the creators are to blame for a lot of this.)

5.) Jareth. Is not a fluffy little elf boyfriend. He is hot like burning, though.

I love Itachi because dammit, he's a guy who can drown his best friend and murder his entire family and torture a guy in his own head for three days and yet abhor violence and frequent dorky tea shops and make funneh faces and weep tears of blood before dying for the sake of his little brtoher, whom he couldn't kill but breaking his arm and effing with his mind is A-OK. (THAT SENTENCE IS A TRAIN WRECK, LOL)

WTF MAJOR SUCKAGE, AVATAR FANDOM. D8

Yes! And if the majority of his fans would stop FORGETTING about the murder and the torture it would make me head so much happier!
