Oh, wait.  You're one of those strange lifeforms known as "boys," so you'll never understand the emotional ways of fangirls. ;D
Haha! ;D

Of course, if you had been my sisters I would have rent you asunder. ;D
Dreams, dreams are untapped and writhing. How much more real are dreams than that paltry existence which we now call reality? How shall we ascend to that which humanity is destined? By mastering the dreamworld of course. That is how, my pupils, that is how.

But it's Maglor being sweet and awesome to the twins while his poor brother Maedhros stands alone in the distance because he probably feels guilty about everything.  How can that not be awesome?

Guys invented fangirling with things like Star Wars, Star Trek and Indiana Jones.

Personally I'm a massive fanboy of Skulduggery Pleasant, Bartimaeus, Percy Jackson and The Shadowhunter Chronicles.

Lol. ;D

@Jet:  Okay, maybe, but generally speaking it's girls who get really emotionally invested in fictional things. ;D

I would beg to differ. "Gamer" kids raging at losses is a subject which is all over YouTube.

Oh yeah right. I cried when I thought that Frodo and Sam were going to die,
Don't read if you are reading Beyond the Summerland.
and in the first book of a series when the main character died I felt very very nauseous!

Now tell me that guys don't get emotionally invested in fictional things! ;D

@Ash:  I was thinking more along the lines of emotionally investing in the characters of a book or movie.

@Del:  Wait, you cried?!  Softy. ;D  (That was when you were like eleven and you were reading the books, right?)

What book series was that?

And anyway, I said generally speaking. One or two exceptions don't nullify the generalization. ;D

It was The Binding Blade Chronicles, the book was Beyond the Summerland. And yes that was when I was eleven...I vowed to never read anymore of the Binding Blade Chronicles. And have kept that even today! So I have no idea what happens afterwards.

Lol.

I was asking if you were eleven when you cried while reading LotR. :P

Why did you do that? It seems to be a fantastic series, based on the fact that it made you show emotion. (Unless the bad writing made you cry)

@Jukka: It's still fictional and they're still emotionally invested. There are many other examples of fanboys out there, but it's early in the morning and my brain isn't functioning as well as I'd like it to.

It upset me enough, and I liked that character enough to hold a grudge against the author! ;D
