Life as a Seto Fangirl
For a long time, I was like many fangirls of anime guys--very rabid in that I half-playfully insisted on Seto belonging to me, and made up songs expressing that sentiment. However, as I have gotten a few years older, that has mostly fallen away, revealing a calmer but still thriving appreciation for Seto Kaiba as a character. (He's still a hot love bunny, but only in my dreams, XD.)
My obsession with Kaiba was kind of odd at its apex; I didn't think of him as wonderful just because he was very good-looking and a bishie, but because I had a love in my life at that moment that matched Kaiba in personality and looks almost exactly. Unfortunately for me at the time, that love fell away, and I wondered at times if my fangirl-ism for Kaiba would die along with it. I certainly didn't want to stop liking Yu-Gi-Oh! just because of something that had happened in my own life.
In fact, part of my fangirl-ism did die--the "OMG Crush" fangirl-ism of mine. Thankfully, the "Wow, he's such a great character" fangirl-ism survived, and that is why the Seto shrine has been updated. I still think he's one of the best-looking characters on the show (and I curse myself for being unable to adequately draw his sexiness), but I'm not such a rabid fangirl as I used to be. Perhaps that's a good thing, and perhaps that marks the stage of me growing up and becoming a more mature fan.
