gnutmeg | Hyde says XP to all the sucky people

Yo. When did the L'Arc~en~Ciel and Hyde fandoms explode and why did they only attract idiots? They're starting to look scarily like the Gackt fandom... (not that all Gackt fans are idiots, I know quite a few great ones, but there are a lot you must admit) ...I'm not even going to start on the gakuhai fandom.

You know, it's probably my fault. Two Hyde fans starting the gakuhai community... yeah... far too influential for our own good, I fear.

I have to say, I'm glad to hear that

larcenciel has instituted new rules similar to those we've had at gxh for a while. Almost makes a girl want to go back to the community. Now if only

_hydeist were to install such rules. But, alas, the mods there are still fairly new to the fandom. ~~And started as Gackt fans. Suddenly everything is crystal clear.~~

What I really want to know is why the "Hyde" community is dedicated to primarily Laruku and gakuhai? I mean... shouldn't it be about Hyde's solo career? There's already much better and older communities for the other two.

Just a thought. If I've offended anyone. Well. Tough. Get a thicker skin.

I agree that if it's meant to be for Hyde, it should be for Hyde and Hyde alone. There is already a wonderful Gakuhai community. There are several Laruku communities. There's a Haitsu community. FOR GOD'S SAKES, IF THERE'S GOING TO BE A HYDE COMMUNITY, PLEASE LET IT BE ABOUT HYDE!

*Breathes* Okay. I'm calm now. I think.

I was a Gackt fan before I was a Hyde fan, personally (although now I'm more of a Hyde fan. I think it's your fault. XD). And it scares me how many insane people out there are just into Gackt or into Hyde or L'Arc~en~Ciel just because they guys look good. I loved their music first. That's what I'm in the fandom for. The music. It's just a plus that they happen to be nice-looking. ^_^

But, yeah. Scary fangirls get on my nerves. I can go all fangirly as much as any sane (or insane) girl, but the key point is: the music comes first.

And that's my two cents worth. Or one cent worth. Or maybe it's not worth anything, but it's my opinion.

*nods* At times, I'm tempted to make a Hyde solo community... but... it would have little to no membership and I know it. Though, if I end up making a BBS for TnK it would very much would be focused on Hyde's solo works and I would bite people who argued.

*pets*

I'd heard Gackt first (via Malice Mizer and, I think, Vanilla) but I was far from a fan. Then a friend sent me Laruku's C'Est la Vie. ALthough I liked the song, I wasn't really interested in the band so much as Hyde's voice, so then she fed me Evergreen and I was totally hooked. The ironic thing? That friend hates Laruku and only sort of likes Hyde solo. But for me, I was totally about Hyde's solo. I only liked a little Laruku at first. They grew on me.

*nods* That's why I don't join those communities... and why I make things like

coffeetabletalk, to try and prove you can be a fan without obsessing with their looks.

To tell you a little known fact: the first time I saw a picture of Hyde, I shrugged and went back to what I was doing. Totally not impressed. But at least I didn't think he was ugly, like Kia did. XD

Oooh. BBS would be nice. ^_^

I see it like this:

GacktxHyde community: Focuses primarily on Gackt and Hyde as a couple, but it is okay to post things about just Hyde or just Gackt, because... it's about them, ne?

The Laruku communities: Focuses primarily on Laruku as a whole, but it's also okay to discuss the individual members, because they ARE Laruku.

Dears: It's supposed to be about Gackt, right? JUST Gackt. If someone wants to blab about Cha or You or whoever else, that's what the GacktJOB community is for (*blink* There IS a GacktJOB community, right? If not, I just made an ass out of myself...)

Same goes for this new Hyde community. It's supposed to be about Hyde, ne? God. If someone wants to say, "OMFG, HE LOOKS SO GREAT WITH GACKT!" Or, "OMFG, HE LOOKS SO GREAT WITH TETSU!", that's what the GacktxHyde and the HydexTetsu communities are for.

I just ramble on and on, don't I? ^_^ I'm sorry. I feel rather blah today and the fact that silly fangirls get on my nerves isn't helping.

I'm probably not making you any happier, either, considering I'm cluttering your journal with my thoughts. XD

Hyde's voice is beautiful. I love how he's so... versatile. I believe that's the word I'm looking for. One moment, he can be singing something soft, the next moment, he's shaking things up. That's why I love Roentgen and 666 so much. Completely different albums, completely different sides of Hyde. I love them both.

I didn't think much of Hyde either when I first saw him. I first saw him in an advertisement for Moon Child (well, a pic for Moon Child online, anyway), and I just didn't... I don't know. I didn't think much of his looks, at first.

Now, he's so pretty to me. ^_^ I wish my hair could be that silky and beautiful.

Kia thought he was ugly?! Wow, that's... wow. ^^

Okay, I've wasted enough of your time and comment space. *Huggles*

I'm still thinking about it. I'm still not sure if it'll be worth my effort or not.

But, yes, I agree with you completely. I once got yelled at in dears_icons because I was asked why I didn't want to make ChaCha icons and I said that because it was a Gackt community, not a Gackt-and-people-who-work-with-him one.

Oh, don't worry. I'm a secret whore for comment spam. :P

Know what's funny? The first time I saw him, it was because a friend of mine was looking for a PB (played by - basically an icon person) for an RP character of hers and we were looking for blonde Japanese people. I told her to use Shinya (of DeG) instead as he was prettier. XD (I was shown a Roentgen era white-blonde pic. Who would ever know this would come to be my second favourite Hyde look?)

Seriously, though, I think a large part of what makes him attractive to people like us is that we can see him through his music, not just what he wears and does. (In my case, I also think Bowie and Mozart are sexy as well ^^;;)

*Pets* It's your decision. ^_^ I'm just saying it would be nice to go somewhere and actually talk about just HYDE. And you're right: his solo works are underappreciated. I don't see why, considering how wonderful his work is.

Oooh. Shinya is such a hottie. *Nods*

So, Roentgen era is your second-favorite Hyde look? What's your first? ^_^ Hello, perhaps?

Yes. I agree with your last statement. Very much so. And I must say at this moment that I STILL love Bowie. Do you remember the Labyrinth? XD

I want to, but I don't want to waste my time and webspace if it won't get used, you know? Maybe I'll start on a trial basis or something.

Yeah, Hello. Though I also really love his spiky hair (a la solo tour, not Honey, though Honey's was also cute), too.

Considering if I shift my eyes to the left of my computer screen and have a Labyrinth poster? Another little bit left is my Aladdin Sane poster. As I type this, I am listening to his "I Demand A Better Future (Moby Mix)". I own 29 Bowie albums. That's... just over half, I think? Still working on that.

Exactly. I know where you're coming from. If no one says anything in the BBS, what's the point? ^^

His spiky look is adorable. Yes, all of us must admit that. ^_^

Ooooh. Bowie fan, much? Congratulations on so many albums! *Bows before you*

Pretty much. I actually had one on TnK for a while... but it wasn't touched in the month it was up. So. But... Helayne said she would advertise me on a bunch of the BBSes she's on across the L'Arc community once I finished my next update, so I guess we'll see how that goes.

*nods*

>.> I didn't even get to the clothing or movies or the fact I've been to two concerts, yet. XD Yeah. I'm a huge Bowie fan. The reason I first got into Hyde was that he reminded me of Bowie in a lot of ways. :X

Kia thought he was ugly?! Wow, that's... wow. ^^

Because the first picture I ever saw of hyde was NOT a good one. Like... indies and I didn't like it. I still don't like indies/long-long haired hyde. >____________

Awww, but didn't you think he was teh pretty in the Blurry Eyes PV? ^_^
