Gaia Online/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 9:

** The trolling of [[G Online]], which was meant to be a Chinese "sister site" to Gaia.

** "KANOKO [[Halloween Cosplay|DRESSED AS HATSYA]]?! THAT IS SICK AND WRONG AND [[Disproportionate Retribution|I HOPE SHE DIES A HORRIBLE DEATH]]." No, seriously, ''someone did this''.

** Because Louie Von Helson appeared when the ''[[Twilight (~~Literature~~)|Twilight]]'' series was approaching the peak of its popularity, certain fans assumed he ''must'' have been inspired by Edward Cullen. Aside from having ''nothing'' in common with Edward (aside from being a vampire, and that's debatable), he's clearly inspired by [http://vampirechronicles.wikia.com/wiki/Louis Louis] from the [[Interview ~~With~~ the Vampire]] film.

*** This is parodied when Louie becomes an assistant at Edmund's store. If you talk to him, among other things, he gets annoyed at you asking if he sparkles and [[Crowning Moment of Funny|says that the question is racist]].

* [[Fan Hater|Fan Haters]] - 4chan and SA. To be fair, there were a lot of Gaian trolls on 4chan during its cancer month...

Line 24:

* [[Moe]]: Kanoko, Rina, Peyo, Rufus, Diedrich {{spoiler|([[media:diedrich_111.png|not anymore]])}}, Timmy (as a child).

** The Orion siblings (Saiph, Hatsya, Rigel and Mintaka) have been taking a lot of heat recently for marking the introduction of the inventory sparkles and animated items, which have been pretty harshly opposed, as well as putting Flynn [[Put On a Bus|on a bus to space]] -- which is ironic, considering how people were annoyed by her before...

*** The sparkles thing is even harsher when you consider that Gaians get the option to turn the damned thing ''off'' if they want to.

** Wild Things is a Scrappy in Monthly Collectible form.

Line 51:

* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: When the item Ace Meow was released to anyone who bought Gaia Cash, people were ecstatic. There were (and still are) very, very few nice-looking pet cat items that aren't in the millions in terms of price.

* [[Les Yay]]: Rapid EI Sainte Ciel, tells the story of a nun and a princess. Dr. Singh's reaction to the debut of Sainte Ciel was... interesting.

** Rina asked Nicolae if he was selling Alruna's Rose during the zOMG intro comic, specifically mentioning wanting "a [[Horny Devils|sexy succubus]]", and then supported [[Hot As Hell|Sentinel]]'s Infernal Nation during Halloween 2009. [[Continuity Nod|Think about it.]]

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: The King Cheep poses of the Cheepz items. ''Gahhhhh''...

** Now there's an item ''actually called'' [http://www.gaiaonline.com/marketplace/itemdetail/54887 Nightmare Fuel]...

Line 68:

** Gino Gambino. He went from being a masked hero (The Masque) to a [[Butt Monkey]] after he was free from his father's genetic influence. He's slowly getting better, though.

* [[Badass Normal]]: In some events, Moira. [[Badass Decay|In others]]...

** Edmund, who used to belong to a superhero team. The other members? [[Expy|Old Man]] [[X Men|Logan]] and [[A God Am I|Johnny freakin' Gambino]].

** Edmund, who used to belong to a superhero team. The other members? [[Expy|Old Man]] [[X-Men|Logan]] and [[A God Am I|Johnny freakin' Gambino]].

** Leon has joined the G-Team in more recent updates. His power? "Um... [[Made of Iron|being really tough]], I guess."

** Josie then terrifies Leon by demonstrating her [[Improbable Weapon User|earring-fu]]. "Watch out! She has another earring!" She also used to be an amateur boxer, and until her makeover for Global Imports, she [[Sleeves Are for Wimps|had the buff arms to prove it]].

Line 108:

** The Flying Pink Gift Boxes. A flock of giant, winged, slobbering gift boxes with huge teeth flying after you screaming "FILL THE BOX!"

* [[That One Boss]]: There have been dozens of threads made to complain about Kat's Kokeshi Doll. Even after it was nerfed.

* [[Tier Induced Scrappy]]: Iron Will was considered weak until the Willpower mechanic was properly implemented. Adrenaline and Knife Sharpen were disregarded as weak after they became debuffs. And the [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys|number-crunchers]] on the forums all despise Diagnose as a heal for its low efficiency and [[Shoot the Medic First|high aggro]], though other players like it for its ease of use.

** [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap]]: Debuffs turn out to be ''really handy'' against vampires and werewolves in Deadman's Shadow, so Knife and Adrenaline are now important for every DMS crew. Diagnose's aggro-drawing properties are likewise utilized by tanking builds to distract supernatural nasties for other players to defeat.
