NaruSaku officially more canon than NaruHina!

Anyone read the newest Naruto? Did you do two and two with the one where Hinata confessed to Naruto? Just to recap:

1. Hinata confesses her 'love' to Naruto.

2. Naruto doesn't respond aside from general shock.

3. Naruto avoids her for 2 days. NaruHina fans argue he was too 'focused' to talk to her.

4. Naruto does a typically 'I love my friends' move, and happens to allow Hinata to continue holding his hand when she slaps him, and he removes the hand from his face, but she doesn't let go of his hand. He also gives her the chakra he would have given her anyway first; simply because touch make it easier. NaruHina argues this means they're vi

'The Killer' And 'Slender' Characters Rant.So to make this clear, I'm not only going to talk about "The Killer"s and "Slender"s. I'm going to cover the Creepy Pasta characters in general. I'm talking about also taking look back at our old buddy Jeff and actually see how much we actually have to support him to make him the character that he is and the he isn't today.

So let's cut right to the chase to what the main topic is and the one thing everyone wants me to cover and look at. Okay now we all know what "The Killer" and "Slender" characters are, we've all seen them and we've all (more or less) let out a sigh and groan because we're getting fed up with them. Really it's lazy, to me

The Early Church II-3: Apostolic Succession

We'll now move backwards in time and go along a simultaneous track in history [in regards to II-2]. We'll look at the early Church from a different angle at the Church as she developed, namely the office of bishop. We discussed in Part I that the office of bishop was the highest office in the local Church. While absolute agreement among all bishops is very rare, they did in fact communicate with each other regularly and sought the advice of elder churches. Their concord and meetings with one another on important issues was a tradition kept from the time of the Apostles in the Council of Jerusalem.

Peter, chief among the Apostles, was given a

Wake up call to the brony fandom"Word has been going around that since the trailer for Equestria Girls was released, and us learning that DHX was behind the movie, that attacks have been made on the competency, the commitment, and ability of the staff to pull this off. This wave of negativity, compounded surely by the months of them nervously waiting on our reactions, has apparently gotten more than a few members of DHX disheartened and possibly considering leaving the show (MLP or EqG). While I can understand that change is scary and that it can be easy to let emotions run high and say what comes to mind, the negativity has a real life impact, something I can relate to ver

The Poetic Mind as a MuscleThe Poetic Mind as a Muscle
As a poet at any given skill level, you might ponder different ways to advance your mastery of the craft. You might spend weeks dissecting famous and not so famous poets. You might read countless articles on poetic technique. You might just plow through any and every collection you can get your hands on, track all of the most well-know journals, follow all of the contemporaries. All of these things add up to a knowledgeable poet. However, does this necessarily make you a better poet?
No. The reason is that most of us equivocate poetic skill with divinely gifted talent. We often think of poetry as a latent ability that we merely possess or do not. This leads to certain diseases within the mind, whether it be the idea that our words are beyond reproach because they are "self expression," or we decide that words come out and that's all there is to it. Other times we are stricken by the undeniable flaws of our work, even t

It takes no stretch of the imagination to admit we in the West have had a longstanding and peculiar relationship with the East. Take, for instance, the artistic notion - and later movement - of "Orientalism" that swept Europe like wildfire from the late 18th century to the early days of the 20th. "The Far East" was mythicized, fetishized and idealized, painted with admiration and fascination with Asiatic (or Middle Eastern) cultural sensibilities, albeit in a patronizing fashion. You must understand that as far as Caucasians were concerned, there existed something of a totem pole that - fo

On Feb. 18, I broke the story of LEAP Academy University Charter School forcing a $24,000 raise for executive chef Michele Pastorello when it switched food service management companies. Not only is his $95,000 salary way more than what such a position usually pays but also Pastorello's relationship to school board chair Gloria Bonilla-Santiago raised some eyebrows.

TrueSoprano's guide to obnoxious metalheads

by =TrueSoprano, Apr 12, 2012, 7:30:35 PM
Literature / Prose / Non-Fiction / Articles & Interviews

The Fake Metalhead:
Age: Very young. These creatures rarely exist past the age of 18.
Location: YouTube, devianArt's music forum, Hot Topic.
Favorite bands: Slipknot, Disturbed, Trivium, Godsmack
Sample quote: "OMG guys I'm so brootal! You listen to Lady Gaga? You're such a poser! Slipknot forever!!!"
This is an obvious one. It's the teenager that thinks listening to bands like Slipknot makes them metalheads. Luckily, I think most of the world hates this guy/girl, so it isn't much of a threat.

The Pretentious Metalhead:
Age: Usually college age or in their 20s.
Location: running their own music blogs, on random websites attacking fans of Iron Maiden for liking Iron Maiden, used to be found in the deviantArt music forum but they've all been replaced by the creature listed above.
Favorite bands: I'm not allowed to list any of its favorite bands, because once I do, they're too mainstream and it has to find new bands.
Sample quote: "Slayer is horrible, along with the other Big 4 bands, and the almost-Big 4 bands, and the almost-almost-Big 4 bands. It's all terrible commercialized thrash metal."
Automatically hates any metal band that everyone's heard of. Only listens to extremely obscure metal bands. Often, they only listen to obscure bizarre fusion genres like progressive blackened death djent metal.

The "Satanist":
Age: Like the Fake Metalhead, these creatures very rarely exist past 18.
Location: on Facebook, calling everyone "posers".
Favorite bands: Slayer, Mayhem, Sodom, Kreator, Destruction
Sample quote: "GOD HATES US ALL LOLOLOLOL SLAYER 666!"
This creature was born from Satan's anus, or so it would like to think. It will never be found listening to anything lighter than Slayer. Any metalhead that listens to clean vocals or doesn't worship Satan is a poser in its eyes.

The Metalhead Who Has No Life Outside Of Metal:
Age: Any age, but an abundance of these creatures are 40 or older.
Location: watching music awards shows complaining that their favorite metal band isn't nominated for anything, voting on polls meant for teenage girls and once again complaining that their favorite metal band isn't in the poll, the Megadeth fanclub forums
Favorite bands: Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motörhead, sometimes Slayer (but usually only Angel of Death and Raining Blood), and rarely anything else.
Sample quote: "Led Zeppelin? They aren't real music! Let's listen to some METALLICA!!! \__/--(>_<)--\__/" (note: the bigger and more obnoxious the headbanging smiley is, the better)
This extremely narrow minded creature threw out all its Beatles and Led Zeppelin records the day it discovered Iron Maiden. It then realized the one important truth: all music is inferior to heavy fucking metal! Classic rock? It's not heavy enough, forget it. Country? Eww, it wouldn't touch that with a 99 foot pole! Rap? HAHA MORE LIKE CRAP!!!!! Similar to the bible humper (but that's another complaint), this creature feels the need to spread the word of the Metal Gods EVERYWHERE and try to convert everyone to its music taste. Oddly enough, it's extremely rare for this species to listen to any bands that aren't Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath (unless they're convinced it's not heavy enough) or the Big 4, and despite how many shows it goes to, it's never spent less than $100 on a ticket.

The Metal Chick
Age: Usually between 13-25, but some can be older.
Location: Tumblr, Metallichicks forums
Favorite bands: Metallica (but only when they were young), Children of Bodom (because OMG ALEXI IS SO HAWT!!!), and most bands with lots of sexy long haired men
Sample quote: "OMG KIRK HAMMETT I'M SO IN LOVE WITH YOU!!!"
The metal equivalent of the "girl gamer", this always-female creature is proud to be a girl in a male-dominated subculture, and she won't hesitate to remind you that she has a vagina. She is proud of many things, from her large collection of band t-shirts that she cut up herself to expose as much boob as possible, to the time she spent 5 whole seconds in a mosh pit. The thing that separates her from other metalheads is the fact that she really couldn't care less about the music. Instead, she is a modern version of a groupie, judging bands based on how hot she finds their members to be. For every second she spends actually listening to metal, she spends an hour building up her folder of pictures of her favorite musicians. However, she is completely unaware that she makes real female metalheads ashamed to be both metalheads and female.

A guide to the various obnoxious metalheads I've encountered over the years. This is a work in progress, and I will edit this whenever I goddamn want to. Suggestions for metalheads are always welcome.

IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY THIS, YOU HAVE PROBLEMS! Stop taking metal so seriously.

LOL this is amazing... You should do one for emo/scene, if there isn't already one...
I had a friend (I use the term VERY lightly, we actually hated each other but at school our schedules were nearly identical so we just had to deal with each other) and she had terribly done "scene hair" or whatever its called, and she was CONSTANTLY saying things like "OMG KELLIN QUIN IS SO HAWT!!!!" She got on my nerves SOOOOO bad... The Metal Chick reminds me of her A TON, except all she listened to was Sleeping with Sirens and Asking Alexandria.

But what also sucks is that I'm a female metalhead, so I get stereotyped a lot by other metalheads and such as how you describe The Metal Chick, when I don't really think I am. Sure, there are one or two people in bands and such that I think may be a little attractive, but that is a rarity. And I'm not like one of those metalhead girls that are super extremely proud to be a female in a mostly male subculture, and ironically enough, I actually get mistaken as a guy a ton, which I just find amusing.

I don't know a lot about emo/scene culture to make one.

~Saint-Niccy Oct 13, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

Just a question, what's wrong with Godsmack?

=TrueSoprano Oct 13, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

They're pop music marketed as heavy hard rock that teenagers listen to to be "edgy". They aren't a metal band, but idiots think they are.

~Saint-Niccy Oct 14, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

I suppose it depends on what definition of pop music you're using. Pop music used to just mean "music that was popular", but now, when people think of pop music, they think of One Direction or whatever. I don't think it's possible to compare Godsmack to One Direction, so I'd assume you'd be going with the "pop music means popular music" definition. In that case, Metallica and Iron Maiden would be considered pop music too, along with other popular metal acts. Godsmack clearly isn't metal though, I will agree with you on that note. I just wouldn't call them pop, unless you're referring to pop as being popular. I think they'd be post-grunge, if anything.

=TrueSoprano Oct 14, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I'm talking about music that's only resemblance to metal is distorted guitars. Metallica and Iron Maiden have various elements that qualify them as heavy metal, such as lyrics and song structure.

~myrmidon-mage Jun 14, 2012

I have more than a dash of the Pretentious Metalhead in me, haha. Pretty much an unavoidable consequence of being 1/ into black metal (THE KVLTEST OF THE KVLT) and 2/ incredibly invested in music in general.
I think you've covered the most common occurrences perfectly, save maybe those who feel the need to loudly separate themselves from the metalhead label at every possible opportunity because they stereotype horribly and feel it's 'beneath them'. I've no problem with you* not calling yourself a metalhead, but stop thinking that it makes you any better than the rest of us.

Also, YAY GIOVANNI.

*Not you. You know what I mean. UGH

~rockinroller25 May 29, 2012

this is hilarious but it just saddens me that being a metal head myself (I love all music but I just have a place for rock n roll, punk, metal and blues) you're kind of just making an assumption from what you've noticed and granted I can agree you're not wrong but you're not right cause there are alot of calm cool metal heads such as myself who like to just speak music in general. You like Lady Gaga? I don't like her I give a valid reason why and just not go nuts over it against that person.

My favorite metal bands: Metallica, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin (historically they changed and formed metal), Motorhead, Slayer, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Van Halen, Lamb of God, Meshuggah, MC5, Cannibal Corpse, Dethklok, Megadeth, Anthrax, Children of Bodom, Mastodon, Pantera, Danzig, Gojira. Among MANY more.

But I like to just hold chats just about MUSIC in general, because music is meant to be a language everyone can understand so if we insult one another for liking a different form of music it just seems wrong to me.
