Proof Positive Thinking Is Bad.

bloodsong1Hung out with Kyther yesterday. Spent a good twelve hours in his company, watching anime and devouring the delicious brownies he was kind enough to bring down. During lunch at a Mongolian BBQ place, the subject of Nazgrrls came up.
Pikey, I blame this on you.
The Nine Nazgrrls of Anime Fandom:
Cat-Chick: This is the animal Nazgrrl. Easily distinguished by the fuzzy ears, paws and tail, known to glomp random people, "mews" every 1-3 sentences. May wear a bell around the neck and carry Pocky.
Fanfiction: The writer of the Nazgrrls. This one frequents various fanfic sites, reads voraciously, and will put any group of characters into her own stories. Will often carry some form of recording device, from primitive paper to the latest PDA, in case a brilliant story idea comes in mind. May invoke Mary Sue.
Bishonen Hentai: One of two perverted Nazgrrls. This one prefers m/f pairings, regardless of canon and defends said pairings to the death, will fixate on the pretty boys to the point of dangerous obsession and have recordings of her favorite voice actors. May have a lair decorated with pictures, posters, plushies and candles. Do NOT approach if you are male and pretty. Whatever you do, do not give her Pocky.
Yaoi Hentai: The second of perverted Nazgrrls. She is the scary pervert, prefers same sex pairings, regardless of canon and defends said pairings to the death, will fixate on pretty boys AND girls to the point of dangerous obsession and have recordings of favorite voice actors. May also have a decorated lair. Do NOT approach if you are pretty, period. Whatever you do, do not give her Pocky.
Geek: One of the less scary Nazgrrls. This female is a walking encyclopedia, can quote chapter and verse, answer any trivia question, may cosplay as obscure characters and mock anyone who does not recognize her. Owns a library of manga and anime and feeds her obsession with regular trips to anime stores, book stores and online resources.
Happy Cutie: The scariest Nazgrrl. Easily spotted by the candy-colored hair, high, chirping voice and tendency to squeal. Most likely under the age of 16. Will glomp random people, wear lots of pink and bounces. A lot. With Pocky. Avoid at all costs.
Music: On par with the Geek in freak factor. This Nazgrrl is wired for sound, constantly. May have a good singing voice, may not. Has memorized dozens of Japanese pop, rock and ballads. Worships Yoko Kanno. Haunts karaoke bars.
Magical Girl: Beware this Nazgrrl. Wears various talismans, will be dressed either as a school-girl or in a brightly colored uniform, flashes peace signs, and will subject anyone considered "evil" to lengthy speeches on the virtue of truth, justice and love while posing. Shortest skirts of all the Nazgrrls.
War: Rarest of the Nazgrrls. Gun nut is the tip of the iceberg. This Nazgrrl will sit down and expound on the merits of any and all mechs, tanks and weapons of any militaristic series, run point and know how to take down someone in five moves or less. Worships the Giant Robot. May be armed, is always dangerous. If seen, walk the other way. VERY FAST.
The big question is...
Which One Am I?
