Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.


Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.


Concerns?

Hey! This is the designated catch-all entry. This is not an invitation to spam to your heart's content. The same rules apply.

Anon, admit it, you saw it coming.

i thought maybe one or two of them would be assholes about it, but not all seven.

it's not my fault i really enjoy 90s buddycop shows, okay?

(Anonymous) 2012-03-19 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
uh how long ago was the show aired? before you were born?

not trying to be insulting, just curious

it aired from 96-99, but my mom was a huge fan and taped all the episodes. i pretty much grew up on it.

LMAO THE SENTINEL

I remember this show, it aired off and on for a couple years in the early '00s

Wasn't it... really bad? I remember it being laughable in both plot, acting and having massively slash-y undertones.

>massively slash-y undertones

anon i think you need to talk to your mom about something

op

i have already considered the thought that my mother was a part of fandom and may have contributed to the really bad gay fanfic porn that is out there

it is not a thought i wish to dwell on any longer

my mom named me after the protagonist of a show that ended in like the 70s

I'm 17

man, getting into that fandom was awkward on like eighteeen different levels

(Anonymous) 2012-03-19 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
i'm sorry, anon

is it at least a normal sounding name?

(Anonymous) 2012-03-19 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Vaguely. The spelling is uncommon and it's not the world's most common name to begin with, but people don't give me blank stares when I tell it to them.

They do use the more common spelling instead of it's actual one, though. Constantly. Even my school gets it wrong.

(Anonymous) 2012-03-19 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
They're probably happy younger people are watching it and like you and find it cheering, and don't mean to be assholes.

That said, I'm 28 and I loved the Sentinel.

(Anonymous) 2012-03-19 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
yeah, i don't think they have it in their hearts to intentionally be assholes, but i still twitch at every "honey" or "sweetie"

and i shouldn't still find it so surprising to discover other people have seen this show! i've attempted to inflict the first season on my friends multiple times (i have the dvds) but other than them and my mother, i've never met anyone who even recognizes it in person.

Really? Sentinel fandom was huge back in the day. I was never into it, but I was in Due South fandom and like half of the older fans there came from Sentinel fandom.
