User blog:AustinDR/Well, This is Surprising

So far, I was looking over some of the pages, and three of my most recent blogs were apparently some of the recent popular blogs listed. It's kind of interesting to me. Basically, one is my ranking of the sisters, another on how seriously the show should be taken, and my review of that-one-fanfic-that's-name-is-hard-to-pronounce. It's kind of fascinating to me, really. I'm not really one to say some controversial/divisive things, but one thing that I try to be whenever I'm discussing something is honesty. When I do reviews or anything of that sort, I tend to be rather blunt in what I think about the topic, but I don't intend to come off as being a jerk. For instance, one thing I like to do is riff stories; case in point, Requiem. While it's not a bad story, I do like poking fun at it a bit because of how cheesy it is, and how it comes off as pretty soap opera-ry. I guess part of that goes with how I honestly don't find the story that sad, so I kind of make some riffs about it as a result. No, that's not so I would be a heartless monster;  I just sometimes unintentionally find myself kind of laughing at some scenes. Or in the other fanfic I reviewed; I liked it, but I also had no qualms with pointing out some flaws in teh story, and kind of making a few humorous quips about it. I know both authors worked hard with their stories, but  I also just laughed at how outrageous both concepts were.

And then with how I view shipping and characters. I honestly flip flopped on some pairings. For example, I don't really care if Ronnie Anne and Lincoln become a couple; I couldn't really care less about it because you don't really get to know much about Ronnie Anne anyway, and they work better as friends. I know that might be a polarizing opinion, but that's how I feel on the subject. I mean, the two characters obviously have more chemistry than Lincoln with Paige. But in general, I just find shipping dumb. I'm sorry if sometimes I come off as being a jerk; sometimes, that's just how I feel whenever I watch the show.
