General comments:

Oh, come /on/

[(Anonymous)]

First day (night for me) that I'm on F!S when I have a chance of participating in all the discussions, and there's noone here. *sigh*

On the bright side: FIRST! :D

*retreats into the shadows of Lurkville*

For a million dollars, would you...

[(Anonymous)]

Poop in front of someone?

Eat a dead animal you found on the ground?

Run down your street bare naked during the day?

Stop posting on FS forever?

I don't want to like it, damnit!

[metal_equine]

Ever started to like songs you don't want to, simply because there is a physical connection to them?

I really don't want to like this, but as it is part of our warm up routine at dance class it has begun to grow on me...

Share your reluctant faves here.

How did you find Fandomsecrets?

[biohazardgirl]

Exactly what it says on the tin! How did you find this lovely little comm of ours?

For me it was because last May I was going through the archives of my twitter RP group's LJ and like two years ago there were secrets about it on this comm. I started reading secrets once in a while and then every day and now I guess I'm a frequent commenter. . .

Metalocalypse

[(Anonymous)]

I spent the last couple of hours listening to Dethklok songs on YouTube and I have a new musical obsession now. Is the show worth watching or should I just stick with the music?

NSFW .GIFS POST Apparently I lied!

[anonymouslyyours]

I was looking at my computer this morning and begging it to turn on one more time. And it did. Which means I have no idea what is wrong with it and am going to have to start trying to figure it out all over again.

I uploaded all my NSFW .gifs from my zombie laptop. Not a guarantee I'll be able to make next week's post but I will try!

So all week my brain has been:


But reality was like:


So I made them the theme of this post.

No less than three people involved or at least implied to be involved in all below .gifs.

in the middle of writing a smutfic...

[(Anonymous)]

ESL writernon realizes that hanging around English-speaking fandom ruined my vocabulary in my native language!

And I'm not skilled enough yet to write all my smut in English. Only the dirtier parts. Sheesh.

Waiting for wank

[(Anonymous)]

I made and submitted a secret for this week. Shortly after submitting, I realized the wording was kind of stupid and would probably cause wank.

At first I was pretty facepalmy, and I still feel dumb for doing something that will probably piss people off... but now I kinda wonder what people will be saying. Maybe it will be fun. Is this how trolls feel?

Connected

[(Anonymous)]

Do you ever look for patterns in anons and secrets? Like, this person might have submitted this, this anon and this anon is probably the same. There's obvious picks, of course, but for example, I recently found a new love, and have been mentioning him and dieting here a few times over the past two weeks. I also often get compliments for stylish secrets.

Or is every new secret/anon a whole new person to you?

PENIS

[anonymouslyyours]

I had a very interesting conversation today with someone who said their biggest pet peeve is when people refer to an erected penis as a 'dick'. They said they can only accept 'dick' as meaning a flaccid penis. Thoughts? Opinions?

What do you prefer the mighty peen be called when reading smut?

Worst analogy or nickname you've ever read for a penis?

<3

[cuteanimalpics]

Hello! Sorry I'm late.

the music thread

[dethtoll]

George Winston - Troubadour

Future Sound of London - Her Face Forms in Summertime

Vangelis - One More Kiss Dear

Nighthawks - Armatura Zalau

Favorite porn?

[(Anonymous)]

anonymouslyyours's gifs made me realise that I can't watch straight porn anymore. :(

Most is targeted towards men and dripping with male gaze, and hardly any of the women ever look as though they are actually having fun. I still like Nicole Ray and James Deen in Babysitter, but other than that I'm drawing a blank.

FS, what's your favorite porno of any kind?

what kind of dirt does Kelley Jones have on DC's upper management?

[dethtoll]

Seriously, they kept giving him work and I cannot fathom why.



I mean look at this, what the hell is that?

Or how about this?



He draws Bats in that pose every chance he gets, even if Batman is talking to Commissioner Gordon or someone.

And the way he draws the Batcave and Batman's equipment is genuinely fucking ridiculous:



I hate the way he draws Gotham, too, like it's some kind of central European hellhole that only recently got electricity and is still afraid of Dracula:

Read this!

(potential triggers for mentions of abuse in the article)

http://www.thejournal.ie/magdalene-laundry-true-story-margaret-bullen-samantha-long-614350-Sep2012/?utm_source=shortlink

It's heartbreaking. The full statement is even more so: Margaret died in 2003 and Samantha wasn't informed of this until she heard her mother's name on the radio from another survivor who was saying she had been buried in a communal plot.

For more details on Magdalene laundries: they were created in the 19th century, run by religious orders and were originally supposed to help women in need, prostitutes in particular. They became, particularly after the 1920s, a place where families and priests sent away "fallen women" who'd have brought shame to the community. They were single mothers, victims of rape and abuse, and pretty girls who were thought to be potentially promiscuous. These women worked all day, operated heavy machinery and chemicals for no pay at all and were routinely abused by the nuns and/or the priests. The last laundry closed in 1996, partly because it didn't make enough money. Some survivors are so institutionalised they can't live on their own.

They weren't part of the Redress Board scheme, which would have granted them compensation and acknowledgement of their victim status by the State. The Irish State, to this day, refuses to acknowledge its role and the Parliament rejected a motion which was supposed to make the State apologise and grant redress to the survivors, arguing that it was "too soon", that a report (demanded by the UN Comittee against Torture) on the matter was to be made public and that it should wait (said report was supposed to come out mid-2012, it's now supposed to be released by the end of the year).

I hope it gets better, soon. I hope these women and their families get justice.

It's annoying when secret makers make it hard to read

[velvet_mace]

I feel totally like an old entitled fart, which I am. But there just aren't enough damn secrets that it doesn't annoy when 3 or four become all but unreadable due to busy backgrounds and poor font, color, and size choices.

Why? Seriously, why blue on black or red? Why pick a pebbled background for your tiny text? Was that really necessary? Why pulsing red as a font? Why mix tl;dr with a schmanzy font.

I mean, look at secret 13 -- that's a beautiful use of font. So clear. So sharp. So easy to see against the background.

DE-ANONING (how do you even spell that?)

[tyger66]

Is there an accepted spelling? ANYWAY. Officially a member of dreamwidth now! :D I plan to be a regular? Hope I don't offend anyone too much. I just really like the people here, and decided I want others to know who they're speaking to.

[diet_poison]

Love this batch of secrets!

Sorry I just really need to rant.

[tasogare_n_hime]

My mom has a cat over at her house, a barn kitten she just had to bring inside. It was a bit older than the age we usually brought them in to litter train, and I ended up litter training the cat, because at the first sign this wasn't going to be super easy fun time Mom wanted to throw her right back outside. I eventually got the cat litter trained, and from what I've heard, and seen Mom hardly does anything to take care of her, dad does everything, and he doesn't even like cats that much.

Now she about three or four years old. Recently she started climbing up onto cabinets where Mom leaves a bunch of breakable stuff. Mom wants to throw her back out side after she's been a house cat meaning she hasn't been outside for 3 or 4 years. I've told them they can not just toss her out side, if she doesn't spent the rest of her life trying to get back in something out there is going to kill her. I'm not taking her,(I suspect trying to get me to go over, and take her was the entire point of the phone call I just got since I'm pretty sure they both know how to use Google and find a solution then selves.)My two cats are still stressed from out recent move, and getting used to a dog in the house. I've had to have my third cat who was very ill for a long time put to sleep, because the move I was hoping would help her recover just made her worse.

I've offered the only suggestions I can think of to them, 1. citrus 2. Putting some kind of tape up there that will stick to her, but be easy to get off of her. The only other thing I could think to tell them was to find someone to take her, or take her to a shelter.

It just pisses me off to no end because if I even suggested doing something like that with a troublesome pet as a kid I'd never been allowed to have another pet.

Things You Didn't Realize Were Problematic

[(Anonymous)]

...Until someone else pointed it out.

I'll admit it: I didn't realize Scandinavia and the World was so bad. Now I feel like an idiot. Oops.

How about anyone else? Ever had an experience like that?

Trauma (?) and perspective

[(Anonymous)]

I sometimes worry that I'm not justified in feeling that I've been through a lot, like on some objective level that I'm just over thinking. I wish I could reach out, and I wish people would want to hear about it.

But it's hard for me to share the kinds of stuff I've done and seen, because I'm afraid what people will think of me when I tell them, and because I don't want to hurt people by telling them what I've been through.

I've spent so long living in shitty conditions that it's what I've come to expect, and I've toughened to survive them. But because I've acclimated to it, and I don't talk to other people about it, I have few ways of comparing about what I've been through, and how I'm reacting to it. I feel like what I've done and seen has hardened me.

I feel ridiculous in the fluttering sense of recognition when I see or hear a fictional character mimic what I feel or do. I don't feel like it's a normal way to absorb what I've done and seen-- it's treated as extraordinary in fictional media, but does that mean it's extraordinary in real life? Does that mean most other people find that kind of experience strange, or dangerous, or whatever?

I think that I'm coping with the shit that I've been through by writing fic through the perspective of characters I identify with. I say I think, because I didn't set out to do it, and most days I don't even acknowledge what I've been through, let alone how to deal with it.

I wish I could reach out and talk to someone, and tell some of my story, and get their perspective. I've spent so long being quiet about it, and living inside of it, that it's hard to know what to think about it, or how I feel about it.

TORCHWOOD CRUSH

[anonymouslyyours]

Rhys (Gwen's boyfriend) was my favorite Torchwood character.

I'd only ever kick him out of bed if I wanted to do him on the floor.

October Halloween Traditions?

[(Anonymous)]

Since it's almost that time of year again...what do you do to get yourself into the holiday mood? I personally always watch the same Halloween documenteries, play Halloween background music, and drink lots of pumpkin flavored coffee.

[(Anonymous)]

this is probably a horrifically self-indulgent question but...

i want to get more readership on my fanfictions, but i'm not sure how to advertise myself without sounding pushy or aggressive. what would you do in my situation?
