AWESOME BARBIE STORY.

I read this to my mom, and she was all "I feel like such a good mother."

I loved Yen!! It must be SKU thing. We like sex, we drink, and we love cooking shows!

Oh, heavens forfend. A hedonist. Whatever shall I do.

To contribute... I don't have a personality for sappy things. See my idea of love in IFD, the Fantasy thread.

My sappy fantasy... well, I've never had a romantic-centric perspective so my sappy fantasy would probably have to do with writing and manipulating people with said writing... to the point where I can make a large amount of the populace not total idiots.  Sadly, the total idiots don't actually read which is why this is a fantasy. 

When it comes to romantic fantasy, I'd say Bowie at an awesome masquerade ball akin to The Labyrinth would be lovely.   Screw the baby, choose Bowie.  I want a creepy and gorgeous man with tightass pants lusting after me while also trying to possibly kill me, oh yes that is sexy.

Awwwwww so cute and i love your comparing JAMES BROWN and AKIO

I live out my sappy fantasies through my Lego universe. Throw the original storyline out the window and just imagine those minifigures having real dreams, real personalities. Add a collection of wild beasts both mechanical and magical, and you have the makings of a real series. A world where robots live in peace with humans? A world where Magitek is the tech base of the day? A world where pagan Aliens worship an ancient goddess that is still there for them, both in mind and body? Pass me the acid, please.

And mind you, these aren't piddling little one-dimensional personalities I'm talking about here. I'm talking personalities and relationships before The Sims was even dreamed of! Characters falling in love and lust, characters with grudges, characters who freelance their talents (and those are just MY minifigures!) A master geneticist and robot designer falls in love with a 236 year old chick who happens to be the nigh-immortal avatar of a neutral evil/chaotic good demon god? And the girl looks only 32 or something? Master wizards who play the good side of the coin and party hearty 24/7? Again, pass me the acid, please!

Good Dios, my Lego universe is my ultimate fantasy. I can live virtually anything through my characters. And this was before computers and me met and fell in love...Gaahhh...I love my little Legos.

I love them good.

I'm not diverse. I always, always wanted to be the princess. Never the prince. Ever.

In fact, I still do.

No need to put on the "embarassed" face. There are princesses who are known to kick-ass. Leia, Ashe, Utena (Used to be one)
And in reality, let's not forget Princess Di. <- I'm her fan.

For my fantasy... Hm, I always picture myself to be my own original character in my favorite anime, book, movie, video game, etc. I live them out by picture myself interacting with the characters. My mom is afraid that I might be crazy whenever she sees me walking in public, looking at my feet, mumbling stuff...
So, I choose to live out fantasies in a slightly heathier way, FanFiction.net

Let's see, I've been a prince, a high school kid who has a power to turn into an annoying clucking chicken (<-don't know why), Hiraku in CCS, a dreamseer named Kou in X-men, Mo e in Magic Knight Rayearth, Sailor Star Royale in Sailor Moon, Kou (again) in Digimon Savers, Eden in Final Fantasy IX, and XII, Uther II in Fire Emblem 7, a sadistic ex-member of the Ohtori Student Council (never thought up a name for this one), a butterfly who works for the ruler of Hell, a shinigami named Yasha in Death Note, a wizard named Chou (meaning Butterfly) in Tsubasa, the Snake deity Mahoraga in XXXHOLiC, a semi-liquid prism life form in LOTR. I can go on...

At one point, I was thinking of incorporating Utena-theme into Harry Potter because I was sort of fed up with the stereotypical good/evil thing going on with Harry and Voldemort. So I make Voldemort originally a more Dios-like person, and my original character (me) is the first established Death Eater who gave up his soul and suffers eteranlly to keep Tom alive. And then becomes a Slytherin at Harry's year, and later on befriend him, and then... Let the Utena-fest BEGIN! <- I really had fun with this fantasy where Harry in my opinion, does become mature and a better person than the book portrays.

But I don't want to be a princess who kicks ass. I want to be a princess who gets peoples asses kicked for her. In a sense, I'd like to be like Anthy; not a witch, or an empty doll, or abused, but just taken care of. I've been taught by my mother all my life that if I didn't look out for myself, no one would, that I was the only one I could ever rely on. It seems...foreign I guess to have someone defend me. I don't know. That makes me sound awfully submissive and weak and girly, and I'm not really those things. What would be a better example...Kanae maybe? She's getting pretty screwd over too though...lets say Kanae with someone who isn't Akio.

I always wanted to be the strong warrior woman.   Like Red Sonja or something.

Someone here better know who Red Sonja is.

I wouldn't call this old fantasy I used to entertain when I was a kid sappy exactly, but I remember back when I was a girl (and ironically more macho than I am now) when I entertained the idea of becoming the world's first human nuclear bomb in which I wearing a special atomic powered exo-suit and I somehow was able to break into the UN and force the media to record how I threaten to blow up the UN with all the major leaders and ambassadors unless they all agree to sign a special peace accord (I was more into the idea of becoming a superhero back then) and the suit was not only a walking bomb, it also gave me full on protection and enhanced strength.

Robert E. Howard's Red Sonja or the Red Sonja of Conan-comics? Two different characters from two different eras...

I've been looking back on my childhood lately, and I realized that not only did I completely miss the Prince on a White Horse requirement of childhood, I despised the thought of it. When I was growing up, I never wanted to be weak or protected. I always hated the idea of belonging to some guy, and I wanted to be able to defend myself.

Needless to say, if my sappy fantasies involved horses, I was the one riding it.

Well, I guess 'Queen' seemed like the role for someone older. A Queen has to look out for her people, and run a kingdom. Princesses don't really have to do that. For me, it was because no one was jousting or slaying dragons to win the hand of the Queen, it was for the hand of the Princess.

I don't see why so few people are interested in the Princess role. I guess that's to be expected of Utena fans, but still. Utena wouldn't be Utena without Anthy! Who would she protect?

My sappy little fantasy...

I'd kind of like to have the same thing that happened to Anthy happen to me...you know, where you meet somebody who just becomes so special to you and kind of creeps into your very being without you realizing it. Then you finally, one day, in the midst of trouble realize that they're the one you've been waiting for and that your past doesn't matter any more...that it DOESN'T have the power to tear you into microscopic pieces anymore, and that's all because of them...

Or I could settle for going on an adventure where using weapons like swords and lightsabers and what not are actually feasible. That would be so cool!

Oh yeah, by the way, I never dreamed of being a prince or princess either. Just Sailormoon. Or Sailor Tin Nyanko. That's it .
