Favorite Sites

  • TVTROPES! My beloved TvTropes where I can find entertaining and accurate information about any series without having to risk mind scarring! Also extremely useful when writing stuff since you can make sure to use, subvert, deconstruct, reconstruct, parody or avoid certain tropes. Oh, and it's really addicting and fun too.
     
  • Know Your Meme. Are you bored? Why not learn something? I am not talking about learning German or memorizing the periodic table, I mean learn something USEFUL! On Know Your Meme you can find every notable meme, complete with history, common uses and examples. With your newfound knowledge in memes you can go from n00b to LEET in no time flat!
  • Youtube. Youtube has got everything you could ever want. Want to see the music video to the latest Lady Gaga song? Youtube has it. Want a clip from a cartoon from the early 90s? Youtube has it.
    Want the english translation to a rather obscure Vocaloid song? Youtube has it. Want to see cute cats eating for fifteen minutes? people Let's Playing their own Mario ROM Hacks? People making fun of the person Let's playing his own ROM Hack? Youtube has it.
  • Cracked. The number one source of unnecessary, somewhat reliable facts! Who doesn't want to know about The 4 Most Homophobic Comics Ever Created or The 6 Most Wildly Irresponsible Publicity Stunts in History? And if all that text is too much for you there is always charts like The 7 Stages of Not Doing the Dishes, Caption Contests and Photoplasty Contests like If Everything in Life Listed the Side Effects.
  • Creepy Pasta Wiki. A wonderful site full of nicely organized after topic. Of course many of the stories are pretty bad but many of them are actually good as well. Not only are there stories, there are pictures and videos as well, and many of them too. Lots of good stories you haven't already heard a million times, all you need is the energy to find them!
  •  Microhorror. Uhm okay, so there is no way to casually browse through all the stories and they are not sorted in any way but if you have the energy to actually do that you'd probably just use the Creepy Pasta Wiki or some other site. MicroHorror is for the time when you want to read something creepy but have no energy to concentrate longer than a minute or something. All stories are less than 666 words long. Teheh.
  •  Mangafox. I remember a long time ago when I first started to read manga in English, I was amazed at how much good manga never got translated to Swedish! With mangafox even Americans and Englishmen can be annoyed at all the manga nobody ever makes an official translation they can read of! This, of course, goes for any site with fan translated manga but I choose mangafox because of the superior layout and advanced search system.
  •  E-shuushuu. I really can't decide! I must admit E-shuushuu's got a way better design and every picture is most certainly a picture of high quality, something that can not really be said about Zerochan. E-shuushuu's tagging system is also great and they even have a special tagging team who make sure everything is tagged correctly. A perfect image board in all ways except one: They forbid their users to upload any picture not featuring at least one female. Oh, well, you can't have everything.
  • Zerochan. The other Image Board I like. This one is clearly dominated by females, with 41K pictures of Hetalia and where more than half of the 20 most popular Haruhi Suzumiya pictures are yaoi. It gets a bit annoying when trying to find pictures of female characters but it's pretty much the only descent image board where not at least 90% af all pictures are pictures of Bishojos.
Huh
