I promise to try to keep this short.

1. I am a Domlijah shipper. Being a Domlijah shipper makes me happy. This does not mean I can't appreciate other pairings (I have a fondness for Dom/Billy, and really anything involving the hobbitsnorli). But, yes, the Dom/Elijah will always make me happiest.

2. I can tell the difference between RPS and RL. I believe in this difference. I support this difference.

3. I do not believe that DataLoungers are crackpots who need tinfoil hats. Well, not all of them, anyway. I like reading the occasional DL post. Because Domlijah will always make me happy. Simple. However, it is in my nature to take absolutely everything with a grain of salt. I am a very suspicious person. I can't help it.

4. I strongly support the "fuck PR" CAUSE, especially in the case of closeted actors. But I'm hesitant to use Domlijah as the poster couple until I've seen hard proof. I don't want to out actors who, um, aren't gay or bi. I may BELIEVE that Dominic Monaghan and Elijah Wood are at the very least bi, and a couple, but I can't prove it, and therefore I don't feel comfortable pointing to them as prime examples of why PR should be fucked.

5. I don't get too many soinlove vibes from orange and yellow shirts. I don't get soinlove vibes from a shaved head or a grey tie. I don't get soinlove vibes from the word 'trees.' But I DO get soinlove vibes from the expressions on Dom's and Lij's faces in the premiere photos. Not proof. Just gut instincts.

6. It's been said before, and I'll say it again. Fandom is fucking funny. You can see what you want, I'll see what I want, and we can read each others' fics and laugh about it. Capeesh? Capeesh.

That's my last word on this kerfluffle. I promise. Now I'm going to go stare at the Domlijah hug clip for a while, mmkay?

That was a wonderful post. *smiles*

And we need to keep reminding the world -- for the 400th time, Fandom is Fucking Funny!!

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Y'know, I really wish I didn't like this pairing. It would be so much easier to stay out of all this nonsense...

And, yes, Fandom is Fucking Funny, and we must all laugh very hard, especially when it goes all nutso like this!

Sigh.

I'm just not freakin' saying anything. I've grumbled enough about the whole issue. I'm happy being swimmingly ignorant about the whole situation (or any kerfuffle situations et all), but lately it's so damn hard. I'm *this* ready to just ignore my friends list for a few days, because I think I may emplode. Not you. Just accumulative... things.

Now, if you start talking about orange and yellow shirts... that's when I'll start to worry. And, erm, maybe run screaming into the hills... ;)

Fandom is fucking hilarious, man. And boy, do we need some good fic...

[alisalohv.livejournal.com]

*reads your post*

Your words are exactly how all of this is making me feel. I understand. Completely.

*hugs you*

We need a support group or something of the sort.

Gather around, ye children, it's time to recite the Rules of the lotr rps Fandom:

1). The Fellowship is one big gay orgy...

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

I second the motion for good fic, now! Dom/Billy and Sean/Elijah, specifically, just to break out of this big, fucking funny rut.

No orange and yellow. God, no. And no blue or grey or rainbow striped and whatever the heck they come up with next. And an end to the tree speculation would be loverly as well...

[tvillingar.livejournal.com]

No orange and yellow

I'm getting to a point where I cringe when I see those words. Problem is, I like both of the colours: my couch is yellow and I just bought an orange handbag that fits perfectly to my orange jeans - if only I would fit into those jeans...

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

We should start an Innocent Color Appreciation group, for lovers of all the many colors that have been usurped and corrupted by the DL "shoutout" posts...

::blink::

I think I'm in love with you.

I am not worthy!

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

...but thanks. ;) As a rule, this fandom needs to cool off a little. And laugh!

[hjartad.livejournal.com]

I am so not</> a domlijah shipper, but you already know that :)

Being a Billinic addict, I certaintly did NOT look at the domlijah hug because it would have probably burned my eyes.

I'm sure that all of the domlijah shippers have it memorized by now. Right down to the second where Dom did the little head tilt thing and closed his eyes and...erm, of course I'm just guessing that he might have closed his eyes and all that. Uhm. *slinks away*

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

It wasn't a particularly eye-burning hug. Even for Billinic devotees. Again, it's all about what you read into it. I have no problem with you seeing the Dom/Billy love. There's plenty of evidence (inasmuch as anything we see can be called "evidence") for them, too, even if they don't have a DataLounge thread devoted to them. Hmmm, that would be interesting. Two DL threads battling to the death...

[hjartad.livejournal.com]

You know I wasn't completely serious about all that, right? :) I didn't have all my marbles. I suppose I was trying to say that I'm NOT a domlijah shipper, but that doesn't mean hearing about them makes me sick.

And nooo, if there was a DL thread about Dom/Billy, I still wouldn't go. Seriously.

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

I didn't think you were serious, but given the way people have been responding to this bloody domlijah thing, I figured I shouldn't take any chances. ;)

And DL is downright awful. Which is why I almost wish there were two threads, so they could battle to the death, and then die and go away and leave the fandom alone.
