Meme time!

[dagronrat]

Since my room is now tidy enough to really see the floor (ignore the desk, that's tomorrow's job) I'm going to indulge in Meme Time!

Snagged from thepinkangel ♥
Give me any fandom* we have in common and I'll tell you:
1. The first character I first fell in love with.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates.
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer.
6. The character I would shag anytime find hot.
7. The character I'd want to be like.
8. The character I'd slap.
9. A pairing that I love.
10. A pairing that I despise.

*Make that any series you think I know. 2 fandoms ain't much to play on.

In other news? My painting wasn't accepted to the Aberdeen Artists' exhibition thing. XD;
Not really a surprise there. 4 of my classmates' have been though. ♥♥♥

Don't worry, your english is certainly far more better than mine.^_^;
It would be more simple for both of us if we uses french but since some people here don't speak this language and could be interessed by my answer, I will continue to butcher Shakespeare's language with you.XD

"Kazuha is a stereotype of japanese KANSAI teenager. She acts like japanese Osaka girls. This is the most important thing. It's seems that japanese like to compare KANTO (Tokyo aera) and KANSAI (Osaka aera). That's why Ran and Kazuha needed to be so similar. But she have some differences. When you live in Japan, you can feel the difference of character (temper? not sure of my english). Maybe this is just what you don't understand."

Nope, I don't understand. A cliché is, by definition, overused and boring.
You could take create a character with a basic cliché and made him/her lovable/interessing/fascinating besides that if you fleshed it in showing that she/he's more that a cliché, in showing that she/he had particularities which allow her/him to don't exist only in the form of a living cliché, in making him/her evolve.

In few words, I want to read about human and three-dimensionnal characters not cliché. I could empathize with character, not with archetypal figure.
But Gosho don't have fleshed Kazuha at all in my opinion, she's just here to play her role as comic's device and Heiji's love interest, period.

And romance for the sake of romance bores me to death, when I read a romance I want to read about two human beeing falling in love, not two cliché/idealistic teenagers falling in love...Idealistic feelings are empty, it didn't interessed me at all.
I want to see why those two people feels attraction for each other, how each of them is affecting the other, which consequences their relationship had on their lives and their respective view of the world, and besides all, I want to see WHY their relationship is unique and not a carbon copy of another one.

If Gosho wanted to create a girlfriend for Heiji, fine. But it would have been better if he had put some effort in this character instead of creating it with basic cliché which match with the average readers's expectation.

And like have said Nightyngale, when Aoyama had created Heiji, he had fleshed the character, he's something far more interessing that a mascot for Kansai's people. Was it so difficult for him to made the same thing with Kazuha?

"In Kansai and especially in Osaka, people like fighting when they like each other. This is not a probleme of maturity but of culture. People in Kanto are differents. They don't argue like that."
I think that I will trying to avoid that..No, I will not. I don't like to see human beeing trapped in stereotype. Beeing possesive, jealous and don't trying to respect the desires of your beloved is immature in every countries in the world in my opinion. And a behaviour is not more acceptable because it match with cultural steotype.

"But you know, if you don't like Kazuha, this is not a problem. I don't like Haibara Ai and most of people don't really understand why I don't like her."
Each one have the right to like or dislike the character of his/her choice, but I think it's interessing to trying to understood views different of mine. If people are not agree with my point of view about Kazuha, they've the right to said it and explain to me why, it's a very good things and I loved that you've done it.^__^

And like have said Nightyngale

Hey, I know that the 'y' is way cooler than the 'i', but still, I can be pretty old-fashioned when it comes to names and their spelling!=P
