Tales Of Symphonia Fan Fiction ❯ Symphoniacs ❯ Symphoniacs ( Chapter 1 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Disclaimer: I do not own "Tales of Symphonia" or any of its characters, they belong to Namco.
Yeah, another one of "those" lists, but I couldn't help it! Most of these are true! I tossed in a few just so I can't say that everything on this list applies to me. (Which would be pathetic. This is my way of saying I'm not as pathetic as I think I am.) Anyway, Enjoy!

-You’re desktop has the same ToS wallpaper for a year and a half.
-You’ve done a lot of research for a fanfic that can never be published. In fact, the books collected for that research would make a Fiction writer’s dream library.

-Your father comes home with a bandage on his hand and you ask him where he got his exsphere. (Yes, this really happened...)
-One or more of your pets have the characters’ names. (In my case, all my living cats do.) (Raine Midna Sage, and Lloyd the name in massively abridged, check out my profile for the whole name)
-You wish you could marry Lloyd, or Kratos, but Genis (as much as you love him) is out of reach because he belongs to Presea.
-Anything involving ToS gets ruined, and you cry like you’ve lost a best friend.

-You would never cut your hair! Ever! Unless you wanted to look like Genis, then it’s okay to trim your bangs.
-You spend $40 on hair supplies to change your hair color so you look like one of the characters. Normally, you only spend money on shampoo.
-You spend money on caulk with no intentions at all using it for construction or remodeling of a house. (If you cosplay and have no idea what I'm talking about, PM me! Trust me! It's a good trade secret!)

-You know which dragon I’m talking about.
Genis and Raine are powered up enough to take on the Coliseum by themselves and win.

-ToS makes you do things. Things you never would’ve done otherwise. (use paypal…..)
-You alone could support Namco if only they would make everything ToS. (Seriously, my house would decked out in ToS crap if they would just make it and sell it!! Until then, makes it herself )

You’ve been betrayed by every friend you’ve ever met. Except your teacher. (Seriously, everyone has betrayed Lloyd at some point or another. Raine is the only one I can think of who doesn’t actually turn against him. Genis did on his walk with Mithos, and Colette with her all not telling him crap thing. The rest are self explanatory).

You faithfully check the stores for merchandise every week even though they have not had anything new for5 months.

The only sleep you get in a week is in the game. (Sleep? What’s that?)
To insult someone, you call them a Desian.

Better yet, when Simba sings on screen, you point to him and say “It’s Kratos!”
-Somehow, some way, everywhere you go, something reminds you of ToS.
-You read this list to your mother and she laughed. (I'm pathetic...)
-Your coworkers and your boss know what ToS is.
