[isi]

Because I feel like I need one.

So, I'm Isi, and apparently the only one not using a sockpuppet name, for a couple reasons. For one, I guess I didn't get the memo that it's almost expected here (at least, it's kind of the norm?), and I'm terrible at coming up with new names for myself anyway. Also, I'm always pleasantly surprised when a website allows me to just be Isi, so I couldn't pass that up. Usually the name's already taken, or the website doesn't allow for names that short. Plus I'd feel like I'd need to obscure who I am elsewhere to protect my fakey-fake identity here, and I guess I don't feel any need to do that (but I get why other people might want to), and I don't want to have to censor myself by not saying anything that might connect me to my reddit name. So I am who I am. *shrug*

Anyway, this is a community I was told I might like, so I'll give it a try. This place seems pretty friendly and casual, which I like. The reddit's great and all, but there's always that underlying pressure to only say something if it's clever or insightful, lest you attract the dreaded downvoters. There's not always freedom to just chat about whatever, so this could be a nice change of pace.

Confession time: I've never been into fanfic, like, at all. I don't know why. If I try to read some, even if the source material is something I really enjoy, my eyes immediately glaze over and I never get more than a few lines in before I start skimming. What's funny is that fan art does a lot of the same things, just in visual form, and I love fan art. I never felt the need to ever write fanfic either... Well. There's a few caveats there. What happens is sometimes something will inspire me, and where normal people will just write their fanfic in that situation, I'll go to great lengths to convince myself it's not really fanfiction. I'll integrate it with my own personal spin on the characters and events until I've turned it into an original idea. In fact a lot of what I'm writing now was originally inspired by Mindcrack in some way.

I think that's enough blabbing for now. Maybe tell me a bit about yourselves or the kind of stuff you like? Also, I'm making up a new tag for this. I couldn't figure out what else to put. I hope it's okay.

What's your favorite Pause and Zisteau moment or series? I might put it in the pipeline for Group Rewatch.

And ahahaha, oh speech patterns. I come from New York City so I'm sure my speech is considered faster than anyone, and slow speech (like say, Baj) kind of weirds me out. :P

Just any time Zisteau shows up after a prank, mainly the OCD one, Pause is like " If I kill Beef, would that make up for it?" Almost nothing Pause can do will please Zisteau and I love itttt. Also when Pause accidentally killed Zisteau's first cat, and he had a little cameo in a video? Their interaction is limited, but when it happens it's super great. If you're looking for just some of Zisteau and Pause ( along with Cloe, Joe Hills, and Vechs), then I guess the Vechs Enters, Chaos Ensues is really their only interaction besides Diablo 3, which I'll admit I haven't watched (lack on interest in the game.)

Yeah see Baj's speech is really slow, though. LIke, slower than most? I'm here on the West coast, so I hear more paced speech, maybe, but Baj is snail's pace sort of slow. Also Baj always sounds like he needs to clear his throat, to me. Sticking to nice, articulate speech for me (like Z and Kurt, and Generik).

As a person who loves (seriously, LOVES) Vechs, I am soooooo tempted to have Vechs Enters, Chaos Ensues as a Group Rewatch, but it's not purely Mindcrack. I'll leave that up to the community after next season.
