You Know You're Addicted to Tenipuri When

[shizuka]

Figured I might as well actually contribute something here. And since, y'know, you can only have so many music download threads before it gets repetitive... I bring this thing that popped into my head at work today.

You know you're addicted to tenipuri when...

When you write fanfic.
When you draw fanart.
When you come up with more fic and art ideas than you have time to write or draw.
When you doodle tenipuri characters in your math notes.
When you take math notes in your sketchbook while you draw tenipuri characters.
When your friends who don't even know what tenipuri *is* know who your favorite characters are.
When you have "Koori no Emperor" memorized.
When you have "Koori no Emperor" or other such songs stuck in your head at work, and hum them when no one else is around.
When you can recite the basic plot of every one of the Golden Pair's matches by heart.
When you try to get your other friends addicted to tenipuri.
When you actually DO get your other friends addicted to tenipuri.
When a good half of the fics you can recommend to your friends are tenipuri-related.
When you make your own tenipuri wallpaper for your desktop because you can't find one that suits your tastes.
When you have over 300 tenipuri songs.

Add to the list! I'm guilty of all of these, by the way :P

You know you're addicted to TeniPuri...
When you create a thread like this one.
And when you replies it.

Lovux is guilty of:

* When you write fanfic. (I tried... but I scrapped it. I can't make someone else's characters stay IC in my stories, I can't!)

* When you draw fanart. (I have my own art thread in the Doujinshi Board)

* When you doodle tenipuri characters in your math notes. (oh yes. But I fail in math anyway)

* When you have "Koori no Emperor" or other such songs stuck in your head at work, and hum them when no one else is around. (I hum at TeniPuri songs at school, even when I have people around)

* When a good half of the fics you can recommend to your friends are tenipuri-related. (You bet!)

* When you have over 300 tenipuri songs. (I collect them!!)

I'll edit that list to my crimes:

When you write fanfic.
When you draw fanart.
When you come up with more fic and art ideas than you have time to write or draw.
When you doodle tenipuri characters in your math notes.
When you take math notes in your sketchbook while you draw tenipuri characters.
When your friends who don't even know what tenipuri *is* know who your favorite characters are.
When you have "Koori no Emperor" memorized.
When you have "Koori no Emperor" or other such songs stuck in your head at work, and hum them when no one else is around.
When you listen to Koori no Emperor on an MP3 player and lip sync while dancing... just a little (no srsly, I did once, may be twice).
When you try to get your other friends addicted to tenipuri.
When you actually DO get your other friends addicted to tenipuri.
When a good half of the fics you can recommend to your friends are tenipuri-related.
When you make your own tenipuri wallpaper for your desktop because you can't find one that suits your tastes.
Your tenipuri folder on your PC is over 500MB
You've created inside jokes/memes with your friends about tenipuri characters (ANYONE IN A SKIRT IS SENGOKU'S 'TYPE')
You've written a set of ridiculous rules for tenipuri fanfics
You're a member of tenipuri related Livejournal communities
You squeal when outsiders of the tenipuri fandom talk about it in a positive light
You've read over 60 chapters of Changechildren and enjoyed every one
You search the net for bad, home-made tenipuri porn to laugh at
You own a few websites dedicated to the fandom
You're active on at least one forum, mostly for the tenipuri love
Your idea of a great day on an oekaki or Pchat is listening to Dream Live 1st in full while doodling the characters
You create Flash animations or interactive Flashes featuring tenipuri characters or based on tenipuri fanfics you've previously written
You design mythological creatures after your favourite characters because you suck at drawing humans -,-;;
You have at least four different OTP for each character, and can never make your mind up on which is the 'truest'
You've drawn Momo in a bra or your own pink frilly PJs (good times, good times)
You save pictures of cats that you believe to look like your favourite pairing
You insist let's do coke cat is Jirou on holiday
You spend hours screenshoting or searching for pictures of Mizuki to catch him being gay
You spot tenipuri look-alikes all over the place
You named your Nintendogs Momo and Taka (RIP, my poor puppies ;____; ), and almost got a terrier called Jirou

I don't know how many tenipuri songs I have, but my folder (not including about four yaoi doujinshi) is 864MB with 16 internal folders and 1037 files. Created 24 April 2006, 21:06:51. It currently has an icon of Kirihara going 'cock goes where?' for its thumbnail image.

When you sit down and make this list:
tenipuridsp.proboards67.com/index.cgi?board=miscellaneous&action=display&thread=1167831865

that's when you're addicted/obsessed.

[Sheenie]

....YOU GUYS ARE SO WEIRD. LOL. xD;

Did anyone say that when you collect the actual TeniPuri merchandise and everything?

[PeachFan]

Has more to add:

When you organize a PoT cosplay bowling party.
When you have dreams with PoT characters in them.

This has to be my crowning dork moment: When you unconciously sing "Do Your Best" in the car on the way home from your wisdom teeth removal! <--------- Yes, you heard me. Apparently I was still under the anesthesia at the time so I don't remember doing it, but mom told me I was singing it perfectly, pitch and words. She thought it was hilarious and dad doesn't know a thing about PoT so it scared the crap out of him. Imagine my embarassment...XD I've officially reached an Inui brand level of dorkness.

[Sheenie]

O-O WHOA WTF. THAT'S CREEPY.

[PeachFan]

O__o I know! There's probably a reasonable explanation for it though; I was humming it in my mind to calm down since I hate needles and they had to use an IV. That song was basically the last coherent thought I had before I fell asleep.

Still, it doesn't make it any less embarassing/funny.

[AnimeFan]

I saw a simmilar topic on another forum but it was "You Know You're Addicted to Anime When"

When you make a bunch of fake yugioh cards of characters from PoT and Tenimyu.

I am alone at home right now singing along with Koori no Emperor playing on my computer.

"Oretachi ni sawaruna yo yakedo suruze
Koori no honoo tsumetai shakunetsu
Oretachi ni chikayoruna iki no ne tomeruze
Koori no yaiba kihaku no ichigeki.........." XD

[tessa]

How about: knowing just how far apart age-wise you are from your favorite Myu actor?

[Sheenie]

...HOW ABOUT HAVING DREAMS OR FANTASIZING ABOUT YOU RAPING YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER? 8DDDD

I would have suicidal thoughts if that happened to me. Srsly embarassing.

I did however a few weeks ago walk out of a shower and found myself going 'IKU ZE GO FOR IT SOMETHINGSOMETHIGN V.I.C.T.O.R.Y. SHIT, I MISSED A BIT~', however I was conscious of some part of the decision to do so. I didn't know my dad had snuck round behind the door though.

[AnimeFan]

I end up singing Make You Free sometimes when I'm alone

How about when: You buy a bunch of PoT merchandise at an Anime Convention such as: Some PoT Trading cards (which I would scan for yoshikochan website if I had a scanner) and a big Ryoma plush.

[Lovux The Great]

I have another one!

You're addicted to TeniPuri when you remember who Kuki Kiichi was.
