User:Ethelion

Me, Me, Me
Wanna know how I got my user name? Well, I got it from an incorrectly-subtitled ability of a character in another anime called Rave. The character's ability was initially subtitled as "Ethelion", but I later found out that the spelling was wrong when I stumbled across Wikipedia, discovering that it's really "Etherion". At first, I didn't believe it since Wikipedia isn't a fully-reliable source (sorry to the Pro-Wikipedia users, but I'm entitled to my own opinion, right?); Then, I realized that Etherion came from the word | ethereal, meaning "light". Therefore, it was safe for me to conclude that the ability was called as it was supposed to be. Nevertheless, I still acknowledged it as "Ethelion" since it had a better ring to it. Then one day, I decided to give myself an official alias to use in web-surfing (after having numerous, inappropriate monikers) and I thought, "Hey, why not use 'Ethelion'?" And there you go. That's the origin of my user name.

I discovered Bleach through yet another anime called Naruto: Shippuuden, the sequel to Naruto, after seeing them being commonly linked with each other. I wondered, "What's the big deal with this "Bleach" thing? Oh well. I suppose it couldn't hurt to watch." And it didn't. In fact, I got hooked into it and quickly became a fan of the franchise.

I chanced upon this wiki the same way I chanced upon the anime, and that's through Shippuuden. When I began being active in this community, I edited some of the articles of my favorite characters that needed grammar corrections and format repairs to make them look more presentable. Next, I started participating in discussions to further improve the articles. Then, I followed it up by uploading images of my own to add in articles that needed visual evidences. After a while, I became accustomed here and participated in more page editing, discussion threads, polls, etc.

Not only have I been accustomed here, but I have also been welcomed by 4 out of 5 administrators in this wiki, including the two additional staff members who recently joined the original three, thus completing the fray. As a result, it made be believe that these four remarkable people have made this site 80% efficient when it comes to everything "Bleachy", which is why I would like to commend them for their hard work, and these guys are: WhiteStrike, Arrancar109, Yyp, and Twocents. Congratulations and more power to the four of them.:)

Sadly, this wiki isn't completely functioning right in my opinion, for the one administrator whom I didn't mention isn't doing a good job (and he's even one of the original three!).:( First, he's TOO "RULE-HAPPY", strictly and stubbornly adhering to the regulations, NOT EVEN CONSIDERING FOR COMPROMISES. Second, he doesn't admit his mistakes because he either THINKS THAT HE'S NOT AT FAULT or that he JUST DOESN'T WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE HIS WRONGDOINGS. Third, he FEELS BIASED TOWARDS OTHER USERS, i.e. apologizing only to selected users when at fault, SHUTTING OTHERS OUT. And fourth and most important, he says he feels disrespected when others erase his contributions, but it seems to me that he himself overrules theirs as well, MAKING HIM A HYPOCRITE. It simply disgusts me when people act like this; That's why I have never mentioned his name in my homepage AND have deleted all of his messages in my talk page (merely seeing his name just makes me want to detest him more; if you wish to know who this person is, please refer to my talk page's history...).:(

I currently feel that Bleach only stands out as my third favorite anime (with Shippuuden being my top pick, and Gundam Seed being my second). Why? Because for me, the show is too overrated for it exaggerates the characters' abilities (boo) and is too lenient when it comes to casualties coming from the babyfaces (hehe). Nonetheless, it's a great show to watch.

I REALLY DESPISE Tite Kubo for setting up a love triangle between Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, and "what's-her-face", and the only thing that makes me despise him more than this is that he "doesn't want to make Bleach into a love story because there are much more exciting things about [Ichigo's, Rukia's, and what's-her-face's] their personalities and things that they can do instead of getting into the romance aspect of their relationships." He EVEN mentions that he "gets asked about that a lot"! Listen "genius", if you DON'T want to make the series into a love story, then WHY THE HELL would you put up an ambiguous love triangle like that in the first place? NO WONDER crap like that gets shoved under your a** all the time (sorry for the foul language, folks). You SHOULD have stuck with the "Ichiruki" pairing (yes, I'm a HUGE FAN) when it was still alive and well and NOT drag the whole thing down by adding what's-her-face into the mix, thus making it clearer for you to focus into your so-called "much more exiting things" 'much more' (pun intended). Man, talk about major ranting.

I only like a handful of anime besides Bleach, the Naruto Franchise, and Gundam Seed, and these are: Yu Yu Hakusho, and Gundam Seed Destiny (the sequel to Gundam Seed).
