![]() Author has written 6 stories for Valkyrie Profile, Sailor Moon, Corpse Party, and Kingdom Hearts. Hello, WeirdRaptor is a strange little man. He, yes he, has a large assortment of tastes ranging from The Lord of the Rings to the Marvel Cinematic Universe; CSI to Power Rangers; Dungeons and Dragons to Munchkin; The Nostalgia Critic to The Slender man Mythos. I've also become a recent Sailor Moon fan. I'm a fan of many, many things, and I would rather see the good in the unusual and odd rather than scorn properties that might seem childish to some. As a child, I could even have been labeled as a brony for watching the old "My Little Pony" series, and I even have a soft spot for the current incarnation, though I haven't been a part of the brony fandom in years. “Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” Just something to remember when people give you crap about liking "childish things". |
