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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] _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'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
