... what's it called?

Ehhhh... I don't really look at it that way with Sinon, though.  Perhaps I'm just that one weirdo, but I found her to be a far more compelling character than Kirito, and I don't interpret their interactions as being in any way indicative of her falling for him (well, maybe a little, but more of a low-level crush than the ridiculous "one-episode head-over-heels" thing that happened in early SAO).

Never touch the games, friend quadcovering. It's probably best you don't even read/watch any of the LPs.

Not just you, neo. Not even remotely. I've had a couple times where being around people with perfumes on made me literally physically sick -- stuck in bed for like two days straight after being in a classroom with someone that had some kind of godawful strong something on them.

And most perfumes, colognes, etc., do indeed just smell goddamn terrible. Occasionally run in to something subtle enough and pleasing enough it's nice to be around, but most of that stuff is like a nasal shit-sledgehammer applied directly to the brain. Junk's almost as bad as cigarette smoke, a lot of the time. Terrible, terrible stuff.

Signal to noise ratio hasn't really seemed to vary much, to me, since... hell, late nineties? We've got pantsu now, but back then we just straight up had tits free to go with the generally mediocre writing and most derivative character contests. Time's let us filter out a lot of the junk, but the junk's still there, et al.

Most TV/movie media is roughly as stagnant/quality deprived as anime is, possibly even moreso, insofar as I've noticed, though. Sturgeon's not really any more applicable to anime than it is to anything else.

Have no interest in joining, but I do want to say it's an interesting idea, and it might be neat to see how things play out. DF basically generates deathworlds at their kindest, so seeing what sort of campaign is playing in one peaks the interest.

Swaths of the countryside regularly blanketed in death dealing (if you're lucky -- the unlucky ones survive) rains and fogs, miles upon miles of wasteland that spontaneously reanimate the dead, living and murderous god-things roaming the land, regular demon incursions and entire nations subverted by inhuman and incredibly deadly infiltrators, entire wide-ranging and powerful species of cannibals, multiple other ones with a penchant for stealing children, widespread slavery, all sorts of incredible nastiness and then there's everything that lurks in the depths. DF worlds are places adventurers go to die

Place is arguably worse than even normal DnD, which is itself a hellworld par excellent. Which is what makes it attractive :V

There's been a fair amount of fairly interesting (and a great deal of thoroughly uninteresting) fanfiction based off just that premise, yes. Can't recall any at the moment, but I'm pretty sure I've had the same thing happen to me, too. Occasionally some bit or passing character just kinda' catches your fancy more than... well, the rest of the cast. Seems particularly likely in those cases where there's a very interesting premise/wold construction but less than stellar main plot/characterization.

You've got a shitty health textbook, that's what.
