Favorites for Silly Reasons

[(Anonymous)]

Just wanna share that I have a collection of first editions (it started as necessary research material for my thesis and just kind of ... spiraled out of control), and there's one I like best not because of the author or the content or how rare it is, but just because it smells amazing. One I love because its cover is OMG SO PURPLE.

So... what books do you love best, but for reasons unrelated to the book-as-such? The cover is cute? Your aunt left you a fun note in it? Share the silly love!

I have a book called Facts and Fallacies because one my teachers gave it to me. It has all kinds of handwritten facts on the inside cover.

I hunted down the exact edition of the first book I can recall reading: Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, with watercolor illustrations by W J Aylward (1943 edition).

I always judge books by their covers, so probably all of them. If I find a book I know I'll like, I'll always look for alternate covers to find the prettiest ones. I have a very old fashioned etiquette book that is completely ridiculous. There's a whole section on how to properly deal with servants in the household, and how you should never address another family's 'help'. I love it. It's so bad.

I have copies of A Little Princess and The Secret Garden with illustrations by Graham Rust. The books are slightly abridged, but I don’t care because I loved those specific illustrations as a child and I feel so happy and relaxed when I sit down to read them.

Secrets you DON'T want to make posts of

Too specific, too obscure, too petty, or would start too much drama - what's something you'd like to share, but don't want any bugger copypasting over a stock image?

I have VERY frequently stayed up far far far too late to keep up with threads here. And it's not even like I know half the fandoms people are discussing. I just really love the general comments and the chitchat of the community.

One of my long-time favourite fan fic writers has been fixated on this one character from her favourite franchise for... a while. Only one in four of the works she's posted in the last year *haven't* featured this guy.
And I like this character okay, but he's honestly pretty boring! His personality as a whole is just bland! And she usually does interesting things with him, but there's only so far you can take that!
I'm not going to tell her what she should be writing, but holy shit I wish she'd get into a new fandom. :/

(Also on the same person - I feel like her stories lately have been doing a lot of telling over showing? Like, "and then the characters did this, and they did that, and it was super cool," rather than actually writing the scene where they do the things? IDK, it just worries me)

Sometimes I eat something that doesn't agree with me and puke on purpose because I'm nauseous and it feels better afterward. I'm annoyed that I have to sneak around to do it because if I don't, people think I have an eating disorder and body image issues when all I have is an irritated stomach.

I really dislike this one BNF in my fandom. Because she set the tone for how so many people see my OTP. Even though her fics have no basis in canon. I personally think she just writes the characters wrong. And a lot of other people have taken their cues from her rather than from canon. And when people are new to the fandom and ask for recommendations, nine times out of ten people will list this person first.

Also, they seem to have some really unhealthy ideas about gay sex. I don't think this person has written a single fic where anything is consensual for anyone. Every time someone is penetrating someone else, it is always at least somewhat against the will of the penetrated person, or at least they are resisting a little. Maybe that's this person's kink. But it strikes me as a little homophobic.

It annoys me when the comments on a secret are all asking for clarification or disagreeing with the fundamental point of the secret, and OP doesn't show up to explain shit. Why make a post if you don't want to talk to anyone about it?

Normally when someone wrings their hands and wails that people reading non-con/dub-con fanfic won't understand the difference between consensual sex and rape, I roll my eyes.
But I've been getting into this one fandom lately, and there is so much rape tagged as 'mild dub-con'! So much! I just want to grab these writers by the shoulders and shake them and say, "When one party is chained to the bed by strangers and their clothes are being cut off them with a big knife and they are legitimately concerned they might get stabbed with aforesaid big knife, THE CONSENT IS NOT DUBIOUS! IT IS NON-EXISTENT!"
I don't have any problem with dub-con! I don't have any problem with non-con! But for fuckssake, can people learn the difference? It's like they're afraid of tagging their fic as non-con, but not afraid of WRITING the stuff!

Dear friend, please stop bringing up all the reasons you hate my favorite character by comparing characters in our new fandoms and how they just HAPPEN to remind you of the character. I don't complain about your favorites. I know you're aware that it annoys me, so can you please hold back?

"any bugger copypasting over a stock image"

LOL! I can't speak for the other secret makers, but I'll respect your wish for a thread about off limits secrets, even though you have so little regard for me and my poor design skills. ;)

ngl, some of the secrets lately have been tl;dr. So I kind of skip them unless they really interest me.

There was a clip from an episode of Anthony Bourdain’s show that made online rounds a few years back. Bourdain told a precocious tween girl that she works harder than the people on his show and she cracked jokes about how it must be so hard for him to sit on a plane half the time and eat delicious food the rest of it (he took it well, I thought). I ran across the clip again and wondered if she ever felt weird about it now.

I think that a lot of people who complain about lack of diversity in fandom are doing it for woke points and don't really give a shit about inclusiveness. And theres a subset of those people who enjoy shitting on stuff other people enjoy in the name of being woke, but who're just doing it because they're assholes.

I have frequently made comments about my self esteem/self hate issues on here. I feel bad because I know I'm annoying someone but, it honestly helps to write a thought that's overwhelming me, blaring from all corners inside my mind and taking over. Sometimes when I see it I realize how over-dramatic it really comes off and I feel a little better.

I'm sorry.

Friendly reminder, use DA, NAYRT, and all the alternatives, when responding anon. I'm guilty of it myself from time to time, but there has been a few misunderstandings lately. (some time ago I even had someone use AYRT to a response to my comment, it was not me;;) It just makes things easier for everyone.

All my secrets have something in common that I haven't noticed from other people's secrets, and I'm (very lowkey) paranoid that other people will notice and... what? Realise the person who made Secret #1 also made Secret #7? So what?
...and yet!

Random fun

[philstar22]

Anyone do any fun things you weren't planning on recently?

We took a spur of the moment trip to the used book store today. My parents even bought me 3 books: 2 Tolkien books I didn't have and one Turtledove book that was based on WWII but with magic instead of technology. I totally wasn't expecting it. I kind of think they recognized that I've been a little off lately and wanted to do something randomly nice for me? Anyway, it was a fun surprise.
