Tales of Symphonia Spam Wank
It's a small wank, but it's a break from Harry Potter.

Apparently, a member has taken to spamming a community devoted to slashing the characters of Tales of Symphonia. Another member took offence, and posted as much.

"If your post had been telling people to wear a crash helmet while engaging in mid-air sex with a gay angel, then it would have been on topic, and you would not currently be getting flamed for spamming. However, it wasn't about that, now was it? No.


There are cries that what was posted (a sad little anecdote about how a bike accident led to rollercoaster deprivation, and thus helmets are good, people!) is a Public Service Announcement, and "If you really had a problem with stuff clogging up your f-list, you would have ignored this post instead of coming here to offend people who aren't talking about gay sex. I guess the lesson to be learned here is that there is more to life than that, because there is."

(There is?)

This doesn't really garner a warm reception, either.

"Um, are you on crack? You don't come here to offend people not talking about gay sex. You come here to talk about gay sex, and you're offended when people aren't."

And so it goes on...

"I get that feeling that you are just a lurker who doesn't have the skills to write or draw anything at all, but still thinks that you are apart of the family this community has turned into. You truly digust me, I want you to leave this community and never post again, go find another community to flame in. We don't want your kind here."

And on.

"You can like the fact, lump it, or shove it up your ass- if your head isn't taking up all the available room."

I know I shouldn't still be amazed by people's ability to fight online about ANYTHING. But I so am.

T... Wha? I didn't get past that part, I think just trying to visualize that was more than enough for me.

I was sent the link by a friend in the fandom. I'mm planning to ask her how exactly that would be on topic, anywhere, ever, just as soon as she gets online. ^_^

...Well, its... well, how to explain...
It would somehow fall ontopic, its just trying to imagine said characters doing that makes me laugh too much. XD One possibility being angels+midair+gayfest!+incest though.

I for one love how passionately the OP talks about coasters. Not enough people appreciate them. If we could all just UNDERSTAND their usefulness, think of how many tables would be saved?

I think some people are just upset that the comm hasn't been putting out the gay porn lately.

I love that comm. After any flame war, there's always a bunch of follow-up posts that try to attempt some sexual healing.

In the meantime, I agree with that it's spam and kind of stupid at that, but talk about excessive reactions blowing their wad everywhere.

Well, not all the time; although the last flame spat--I think about Kratos/Lloyd--spawned a lot of Kratos/Lloyd posts afterwards in that 'let's forget about the flame and enjoy our love for the most controversial pairing in the fandom! :)' sort of way.

So far I've only seen one 'here's some happy-joy! let's forget about the flames can't we all get along :*(' post, and there wasn't any porn. bastarges

The comm used to be pretty active in putting out--at least, when I joined four months ago; however, it got pretty quiet lately, mainly filled with thinly veiled OT posts and, of course, spam like the OP. Which is why I think this whole spat started; sometimes you gotta release that frustration with wanking. /obligatory sexual innuendo

Personally, I want to locate a mod and ask if it's okay to advertise my Kratos/Zelos fanlisting there.

It should be in the userinfo, shouldn't it? The comm doesn't strike me as being THAT wanky, anyway, insofar as to yell at you for advertising an OT comm. ^_____^

Heh, I think I remember that wank. It wasn't very long ago, was it? Wow.

If it is, I'm just really that stupid cause I can't find it. LJ have a flag for comm creators or something? But it's not OT at least--it's ToS and it's slash... y! But I know some comms don't like advertising for things like webpages or FLs or other comms. But then, I have no idea who the mods are, so that shows you what 'moderating' entails around there. Ah well.

No, it wasn't; in fact, I think it was a wank that happened a little after I joined. So maybe a couple of months ago.

But then, the greatest way to generate wank amongst any ToS fen comm--slash, het, or gen--is to mention Kratos/Lloyd. Hee. People are so funny about imaginary characters.

I confess now that, despite my best efforts, I have yet to procure a Gamecube and Tales. ^^;; But I want to get into the game, just for all the wank. Therefore, I don't really have too much of a clue what you're talking about when you mention Kratos/Lloyd. But I'll guess it's a rather...controversial pairing. Heh.

They usually have rules in the community userinfo for things like that. It'll say in the rules whether or not you can advertise/pimp things, whether OT or no, on their comm. ^___^

BWA HA! I had a feeling you hadn't played ToS when you thought Kratos/Zelos was OT. I mean, yeah, it's a WTF coupling, but OT? I started crying.

And you should play the game! I got a friend to purchase a GC just for it, and she hasn't regretted her decision. It's much better than any of the other Tales games out there, and if you like ATB systems, this is for you (ie: active battle systems like Star Ocean or other Tales games, rather than the turn-based systems popular in things like Final Fatnasy and Suikoden). The story is rather grandiose but cliche--you'll see 'plot twists' coming from a mile away--but the characters are just all a big pile of dorks, so you can't help but love 'em. The score was guest-composed in part by Motoi Sakuraba, so if you love his music, there's another reason as well.

Lots of great replay value too.

/pimping

Why no, it's not my current favorite game; why do you ask?

... you ... have looked at the lack of comm rules... right? I think that's where a lot of their problems lie.

Or if it's a het-only board, just go with the tried, tested and true Kratos/Raine.

It never fails to bring the wank at Namco's official boards.

In the meantime, really?

I'm wondering why? I mean, I've seen some really pretty Kratos/Raine Japanese fansites that make the coupling look interesting, and at least they interact more than my own OTP does in the game. It doesn't seem without complete implausibility, if you want to ring the canon-support bell.

I think, at this point, anything with Kratos brings the wank in ToS.

I love it when people fight over imaginary beings. It makes me feel so very, very sane.

Really. So much so that the ones against it call themselves the "Kratos purists." Their two most common reasons? Once you've been married to someone, you can never, ever again fall in love with anyone else, even if the person you married is long gone from your life, or dead. Also, because Genis would become Lloyd's uncle, and that's just WAY TOO FUCKING WEIRD AND CRAZY LOL.

Actually, anything that's not Kratos/Anna gets those people up in arms, it's really kind of scary.

Personally, I really, really don't get the Kratos/Raine love that a lot of the fandom has, but it seems to make some people happy, so I try not to make too much fun.

Thanks for the icon love! Here is another sexy icon, just for you.

ToS purists in general crack me the fuck up. Especially since they make all sorts of arbitrary decisions about what is and isn't canon, then run around flaming everybody else for writing stuff that isn't canon.

I've always been tempted to ask them if it's still considered canon if *spoiler* or *spoiler* digs up Anna or Alicia's body and has sex with it. Or maybe Yuan should just go stick his willie in that giant tree. NECRO AND DENDRO, BABY, BUT AT LEAST IT'S NOT SLASH!

Heh heh heh. Purists are so much fun.

... BWA HA, 'Kratos purists'! I love you fandom. I adore Kratos/Anna as much as the next fangirl, but wow--I always love the people that believe One Troo Lurve requires never ever falling for someone else ever, ever again (these people have obviously never dated/been married). I LOVE YOU FANDOM BECAUSE KRATOS IS GOING TO GET REALLY OFFENDED BY WHO YOU PAIR HIM UP WITH BEING REAL AND ALL

Hmm, I'm not for Kratos/Raine either--I think there's too much logic in that type of relationship to be interesting--but I don't see why I have to rain on someone else's parade because it doesn't work with my ideas. That is why I'll never, ever understand shipping wars. It hurts my brain just thinking about it.

>D @ icon. I've seen that one around. Hee. Zelos isn't the only one here that wants to mack on her cleavage.

Why don't people write more fics about wearing a crash helmet while engaged in mid-air sex with a gay angel? I'd read it.

Dominic knew he was going to die. After all, that's what happens when you jump out of an airplane without checking to see if your pack actually contains a parachute. Fortunately he was wearing his crash helmet, not that was going to save him.

"Dear God, save me! I'll do anything, absolutely anything!" he whimpered as he plummeted toward the Earth.

:Anything?: asked a melodious voice. Suddenly the air was filled with the beating of giant wings and Dom found himself caught up in the embrace of the most gorgeous being he had ever seen. The angel (for surely that was what his savior was) had the most beautiful blue grey eyes he had ever seen, as deep and crystal blue as Crater Lake. His wings were as creamy whit as the best Tillamook vanilla ice-cream, and just as rich and fluffy. The angel's skin was equally creamy and smooth.

"What's your name?" he whispered as the clouds flashed past them.

:You may call me Elijah: the magnificent being whispered into his mind. Something stirred inside Dom. Suddenly there was nothing he wanted more then to please his wonderful Elijah. For the first time he noticed that the only thing the angel wore was feathers, and that the angel's pillar of angelness was fully erect and a wonderful blushing purple. Dom gasped at the size of it, and then gasped again as the divine being stripped his flightsuit off and grasped his own trobbing manhood.

"What do you want me to do?"

:I think you know:



Do you want me to continue? Or is it against Da Rulez to post porn? Especially bad porn since I'm not actually into da gay sex (meaning that I don't read it unless it's really bad and I need a laugh) and I've never written a lemon before.

Oh well, I'm sure there's gonna be plenty of wank on the home front to keep me all nice and warm for many months to come, but ToS wank still has a special place in my heart. That fandom has its own unique flavor of batshit you just can't get anywhere else.
