[pavonine.livejournal.com]

105. Hugh Laurie's attempt is much more than an attempt; it very well fooled me. Though I'd love to hear him say "water" in his American accent, just to see if House is REALLY a New Jerseyan.

109. I thought he sounded great on the 2004 Assassins revival soundtrack.

110. You can still be an asexual with a romantic relationship, can't you? Just as long as no one gets jiggy with it, wouldn't you still feel asexual?



117. Ditto. The Scrubs cast will make you a better person.

118. WITH LIBERTY/JUSTICE FOR ALL.

Also, that blindfold? Justice is kinky.

125. Watch the Futurama episode "I Dated a Robot." :-)

126. OMG A WHATTHEBUCKSHOW SECRET YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

He does have beautiful teeth.

130. I'm like that for the slash pairings I read. Well, most of the time. I think I'm pretty lucky when it comes to finding good slashfic, though. I dunno, I think yaoi seems a bit more looks-and-porn oriented than just regular old slash.

137. Such is the downfall of obsession--once it ends, you feel like you've ended, too.

151. Go search out fic where the sex isn't magically delicious (it's very rare, but it's out there). That might help.

153. Poor Sailor Pluto. :-(

154. Actually, I think McCain stands a shot at election if the media wears out Obama. Obama's rise to fame has been somewhat meteoric. The media will focus all of their attention on him, and moderate Obama supporters won't be as inclined to vote, because they'll think Obama has it under wraps (kind of like how Chris Daughtry got voted off AI because everyone thought he was safe), but McCain voters will still vote and end up securing his election.

Such is my cynical thought pattern, anyway. It kind of sucks--at least Obama hasn't said that he knows nothing about the economy. :-\

158. Wow. They back-to-back pose a lot with Mr. Tennant, don't they?

163. I'm very tempted to spoil this, but I don't know if the spoilers are accurate. Blah.

164. Who doesn't? Nevertheless: OMG YAY COLIN/RYAN SECRET YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

Now, if you haven't joined up: wliialove, wl_fanfiction, whoselineslash and the Ry/Col specific (though it is the predominant Whose Line pairing) bythewayiluvyou

167. DO IT DO IT DO IT

Or, if/when House and Wilson finally get together (I have hope, dammit!), ask her out! DOOOOOOOOO IT

173. I think I've always seen something with the Goonies, but I don't know--shipping the Goonies? I have lines I don't cross. You have fun, though.

181. STEPHEN/RAIN STEPHEN/RAIN STEPHEN/THAT IS RAIN, RIGHT? STEPHEN/RAIN

110

[(Anonymous)]

I'm more concerned with the fact that I'm pining for somebody I've never met and am using a fictional relationship as a base |D

[tsukara.livejournal.com]

180. I think this takes the cake for most incredibly sexist thing I've read this week. Congrats, OP, you win the fail-contest.

169

[http://users.livejournal.com/_tehriah/]

WIN ♥

[elystia.livejournal.com]

I wonder when the Dark Knight flood will end.

138. I wailed OUT LOUD when he wrecked that thing. Ditto the Batmobile.

154. I don't give a damn about either of them, but this secret is just...:|

165. You're right. I mean, he died to save Katara, but he doesn't have the capacity to love her or anything like that. The very idea of it is simply ludicrous.

[fenm.livejournal.com]

Well, he died for reasons that are more complicated than that, but, yeah, seeing her in trouble is what lead him to do the thing that lead to his death (he got better).

136

[ahvia.livejournal.com]

wow oh my god that cropped pic of zack's face IS a lot like the other cropped pic of zack's face. IT'S EVEN FROM THE SAME GAME

the whole concept of people getting "fans" for using the crop tool and a couple cheap photoshop effects disgusts me ALMOST as much as people who care that such obvious looking icons are being "ripped off"

if anyone should be upset here it's yubinbasya.

Re: 136

[(Anonymous)]

If anyone should be upset from your butt-ugly fanart it's Nomura.

128, 145, 170

[jay-m-l.livejournal.com]

128. The fact that I once came up with a long, elaborate plan for Hugh Laurie to be Eleven (with his Cambridge professor comanion Stephen Fry, of course) and still be able to be House should tell you how much I understand your pain.

145. The mere fact that Watchmen will now have a real fandom is enough to terrify me. That and the fact that Denny-from-Grey's-who's-real-name-I-don't-know is playing the Comedian. That still doesn't compute.

Re: 128, 145, 170

[knowledgequeen.livejournal.com]

145. His name is Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and screw Grey's, he was on Supernatural and he was badass.

158

[spiletta42.livejournal.com]

158 - You're in the wrong part of fandom, then, because almost everyone I know loves him. He's brilliant.

101, 102, 105, 109, 111, 118, 120, 130, 133, 136, 137, 147, 154, 164, 174, not!secret 5, not!fandom

[manda-babylon.livejournal.com]

101. D:

102: What?

105: Maybe my reading comprehension is shit today, but I don't understand this secret, either.

109: I've never been impressed with his voice before, but I think it's perfect and charming in Dr. Horrible.

111: I use PBs who look like my characters, often ignoring their personalities in the process (I draw my own references for Gaia, but for playing on Insane Journal, I'm not going to draw 100 different facial expressions). What's wrong with not knowing or caring about the history of the character when using the image, as long as you aren't playing that character?

118: Small fandom is SMALL.

120: I hate to say it, but I kind of agree.

130: There's plenty of yaoi like that. Check out your local bookstore. If you're talking about fanfiction, well... You're exactly right. Fanfiction used to be about telling stories beyond the work, but now it's mainly just smut. The era of drabbles and the rise of the "TL;DR" crowd killed long fiction, and it's impossible to write anything convincingly other than sex in the small word count required to be popular these days. As fandom became more convenient, it began to devolve.

133: They're supposed to be awesomely bad. Or just bad. They're Horrible Shirts. [I want one.]

136: If you think the people on the right invented cropping the of Zack's face for dramatic effect or the angsty, wispy heroine staring pensively at pretty, poignant words, or even using red boxes to contrast black and white scans... You're crazy. Yes, the icons on the left bear some (passing, in a lot of cases) resemblance to the ones on the right, but the ones on the right are not groundbreaking, original, or particularly noteworthy. Generic icons are generic, all around.

Icons don't have to have a set-in-stone style. The most talented of icon makers "bounce" from one style to another - icon makers who are one-trick ponies are soon forgotten. You say she's copying from other people, but those icons on the right are just simple crops or common techniques. You're reaching for a reason to hate this girl.

137: There's always the third one? [I do know how you feel - I was lost online for a long time after the third Star Wars came out. It gets better.]

147: If you can't hate Enterprise for hurting the Star Trek franchise, I fail to see how you'll be able to muster complaint against the new movie. Hopefully for J.J. Abrams, "cannon" will not be confused with the forward guns.

154: I fail to understand how this is fandom related, but "oh, okay."

164: I do, too. -__-;

174: This is very true.

not!secret 5: Because fanfiction is certainly never meant to do anything that isn't cannon. Absolutely.

not!fandom: Apparently not (though for some reason politics are A-OK, for some bizarre reason).

Politics IS a fandom.

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

See #122.

See polifics, current_affairs, and, for a blast from the past, johnxjohn.

Small and weird fandom, maybe, but a legit fandom nonetheless.

[whitetux.livejournal.com]

130. hey i just wanna say FUCK YEAH to what you said
what manga is that?

180. did it get lonely under your bridge

116

[haunter]

116. AVENUE Q ILY

[b-for-bastard.livejournal.com]

TOFL: Trolling on floor laughing

136, 139, 154

[sirhellsing420.livejournal.com]

136 - No offense intended, but I do like her icons better than yours. And I don't even know who she is.

139 - That show is great for cheering me up. And episode #4 was made of win.

154 - I'm voting for Obama. :D

Re: 136, 139, 154

[foofighter0234.livejournal.com]

154. I'm voting for Obama too. :D

155

[dinogrrl.livejournal.com]

155. That's kinda the reason I never RPed until very recently. I was afraid of being bad at it. I still am (seriously, I think I'm one of the worst RPers out there :/).

went OT so many times...

[abyss-of-colors.livejournal.com]

118. YES I AS WELL. It's just so right~

130. Well, I like porny things sometimes, whether it'd be yuri, yaoi or het. Of course the key word here is 'sometimes', so I understand were you're coming from and agree with you quite a bit.
(When it comes to actual canon, though, I want 1)an action series, 2)that just happens to have the main character guy in love with another guy, 3)and the other guy feels the same way, 4)and affection/romantic goofiness is shown in some way. None of this one-sided, will-they-won't-they bs. Luckly, I got that in FAKE, but I want mooooore... /random rant)

Oh man, Complex! I need to catch up with that!

141. YAY! Old school Batman FTW! Slightly off topic but, have you seen the trailer for the new Bats cartoon that's coming out? It looks like they're using a similar design and characterization! X) Here's the link 'cause I'm too lazy to word link:
http://www.toplessrobot.com/2008/07/sdcc_the_batman_brave_and_the_bold_trailer_is_cert.php

153. Why feel sorry for her? I don't think she'd care, at least not in the way that fandom keeps thinking she would. Honestly, I think she would have been trying to tell them that the category Pluto was in(a major planet) was incorrect all along since Pluto is simply not as big as the rest. And she'd know, 'cause she's been there. :D

164. Pshaw! Who doesn't? (Don't answer, it was rhetorical.)

165. Even as a fan who didn't give a damn about shipping in this series, I disagree. In canon, it's just from a romantic angle, not necessarily a 'OMG they're knockin' boots' type; in fandom, it's really easy to skip over the smut and go to the rated G or PG fic.
Also, I'm willing to bet that there are people who've been together since middle school. For that reason, it doesn't bother me.

165

[fenm.livejournal.com]

165. Even as a fan who didn't give a damn about shipping in this series, I disagree. In canon, it's just from a romantic angle, not necessarily a 'OMG they're knockin' boots' type;

Indeed. So many people go from "they're kissing" to "OMG, sex!" without acknowledging that there can be, like, hundreds of steps between those two.

Now, Sokka and Suki, otoh... ^_^

178

[cinis.livejournal.com]

yess..!
too bad jrocksecret is kinda dead :/

Re: 178

[trixie-chick.livejournal.com]

oh hay there. ^_^;;;

i second this comment, wholeheartedly on both counts. =p what a pleasant shock from all the boring bitchy 'secrets' to see some ken/tetsu! and i absolutely love that moment in the pv. squee.

*mourns for jrocksecret, le sighs!*

[sablier-bloque.livejournal.com]

181 - UH HUH

102 118 122 132 140 142 152 154 163 165 169 171 177 180

[jlh.livejournal.com]

102 I feel this is what fandom secrets is all about.

118 Me too, but sadly W really doesn't.

122 When the Kerry/Edwards turned into hate sex? Or that spate of Obama/Edwards after the endorsement that was all about bad memories of Kerry and wanting it to be different this time? Yeah, that's the shit, for reals.

132 I know what you mean, but she was so stifled once they moved to LA. I think that in a way they still are together, as she will never commit to another man. Smith will always be The One.

140 Seriously, why do you care? Like, they dig different things, you know? Maybe they "get it" but that isn't what they're looking for?

142 I'm going to say it: I hate anon fic memes, especially anon kink memes. It fills fandoms with nothing but short heavy kink crackfic and that isn't really what I want to read, never mind that it never seems to have anything to do with the actual characters, but is more "insert names into pre-existing scenario". I wish you could have a meme for like, kissfic or something.

152 I felt his death was the beginning of the end of that canon for me; it was the first of, sadly, many really wrong turns.

154 And I'll be lol'ing at you when he wins. Because he is awesome, and McCain is so eight years ago.

163 I guess your English teacher was a troll, because his sentence doesn't even scan as good grammar.

165 Yeah, I get stuck on your inconsistency. It's okay to ask a twelve year old to have power over the life and death of many people, and to save his planet, but not to make other life decisions? That said, yeah, I wish he'd been 14, but blame that on Nick.

169 You rule me.

171 That's really awesome! I learned about the impressionist painters in 8th grade because Renoir was mentioned in a Duran Duran song.

177 Joss appears to be an on or off sort of guy. He either hits sweet spots you didn't even know you possessed, or he's like nails on a chalkboard. (For me, it's the latter. I find him talented but a little too in love with himself, and therefore he's getting repetitive.)

180 Um, is this also true for shows where the "hero" is a woman, like Buffy or Veronica Mars or Gilmore Girls? Or are you just a misogynist who thinks that all female characters that have agency are by definition sues? Either you're a troll, a misogynist, or you are narrow in your canon selections. The people I know who "just don't like" most female characters "just like" canons that are very male oriented, where the female characters are an afterthought or an obvious love interest. But there are plenty that aren't.

Re: 102 118 122 132 140 142 152 154 163 165 169 171 177 180

[foofighter0234.livejournal.com]

154. I'll be LOLing when Obama wins too.

[farawaylaughter.livejournal.com]

118. Now that's shipping for great justice.
128. Him as the 11th doctor would be epic. I love Hugh Laurie.
147. The casting choices of the new Trek movie makes me want to cry. They need to stop milking the franchise already.
158. I don't think he's necessarily brilliant, but I can't dislike anyone who resurrected one of my favorite shows. And brought us Simm!Master.

[(Anonymous)]

114. LOL, yeah, I have to agree. He's become so annoying I just want him to fecking die already. Then again, what do you expect, the manga/anime sucks to begin with.

130. Heh. That's why I'd rather stick with yuri. For some reason, it's harder for me to find a good yaoi manga compared to a good yuri manga.

160

[viridian.livejournal.com]

Aw, I love him too. ♥ I'm kinda sad that out of my whole flist, two people have any idea who he is.

177

[o-melody-nelson.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU.

145

[velvetcure.livejournal.com]

i feel like i could have made that secret. i feel exactly the same way. it's petty and yet . . .
still, i got wide-eyed when i saw the trailer with 'the dark knight'.

113, 132, 133, 138, 145, 147, 150, 151, Not!Fandom, Too Big 2

[arcadiaego.livejournal.com]

113: a) That *is* an awesome movie. b) I think you need new friends.

132: You're right, that sucked. :(

133: They *are* horrible, aren't they!

138: I could care less about cars to be honest, but man that was a damn fine vehicle. *drool*

145: I have this fear its going to be like The Dark Knight all over again. Not that that insanity wasn't/isn't enjoyable, but I don't think I can
go through it twice...

147: Why will you hate them and not the people responsible for Enterprise?

150: I think she has a point myself.

151: (Lose with one o btw) I kind of understand what you mean actually. :/

Not!Fandom: Obviously not, woe.

Too Big 2: I know this is part of the whole ongoing Thing, but that actually is my favourite childhood programme! (That and the Box of Delights.) I still think of him as that character and not as the Doctor.

RE: 154

154. I'd hide my face too if I held your position, but I don't. I knew four years ago that I would be voting for Obama for President.

Re: 154

[callmejude.livejournal.com]

I'd hide my face too if I held your position, but I don't.

Then why are you anonymous? Just curious.

You mean when the Republicans STEAL another election, right?

Re: 154

They won't be able to steal this one. Obama's gonna kick their asses.
