122: Orly? Wow, That makes me feel a bit better about my sock/accessory issues! I have ONE pair of socks I CANNOT wear anymore because EVERY damn time I wear them, I have the WORST DAY EVAR. Funnily enough, they're St Patty's Day socks and they say "lucky" on them. WTF. I also have that issue with particular pieces of jewelry. I wear them, I have godawful days. Maybe I need to have them blessed or something... Oh gods, now I have this mental image of MMG wearing one sock patterned with little broomstick, and one patterned with little snitches. *snerk*

129: AWWW! ;_;

134: Is that what I think it is?

140: HELL YES!

I think this one of the most wonderful secrets I've ever read.

I have thoughts like that all the time, and I never say them out loud.

I don't know you, but I think you're wonderful as well.

140 OP

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you. :)

[trustyoursins.livejournal.com]

116. ... oh fuck he is hot there. *______* I MEAN DOWNRIGHT SMOKING HOT. Whaaaat. THANK YOU CLAMP INDEED. (And yeah, I agree with your assessment of the ~wai wai uke-chan girlyFai~ crowd too. :| Wat.)

120. You are awesome and this is hella inspiring. Congrats. ♥

123. Go you! /useless comment

125. Damn straight! If you don't like it, no one else is allowed to! How dare they have their own (lesser) opinions about fictional series! *SHAKES FISTS*

I am of the opinion that you can fuck right off. Sheesh.

129. ... This is so sweet. Seriously. ♥♥♥

135. You know, my interest and :> in that game was climbing, due to your description and love for it, until the last line. And then it went down the tubes. Guess I'll just get around to actually playing my copy of Digital Devil Saga 2 instead of looking this game up o/

141. If you're stuck for where to go in your story, shoot someone. One of the first rules of writing, bb. Sorry if it didn't work for you in this case? But switching things up is a long-honored tradition of pulling writing out of your ass. (: *totally fond of this method, orz*

147. We're terribly sorry we burden you so by existing. We were unaware that you could read minds, and shall now disappear in our shallow, boring, stupid, and above all slash-loving shame. Obviously liking two characters with little to no screentime is a much more horrible thing for fandom to do than agree that the psychotic, God-complex megolomaniac serial-killer of a main character was perfectly right in all of his amazing ideals~

148. ... Dude, I'm not even gonna bother with the sarcasm on this one. You're a fucking retard. /story, seriously

153. Can't you have varied taste in movies? I don't see why this is a big deal, even with your explanation. :/

160. Okay, randomly, this made me grin like a loon. SOMEHOW... YOU WIN, OP. YOU WIN. ♥

163. ... kind of makes me wonder if you'd have that whole "perversing the entire nature of politics" attitude if one of them was a woman. What about Rahm Emanuel/Michelle Obama? Or... idk, Obama/Hillary Clinton? (Not that Clinton is like Emanuel, I'm just not keeping up and she was the first name that popped into my head. ;;) Would the existance of those "make you sick"? And this is coming from someone who isn't interested in RPS, by the way. :/

If you would, then I still think you're kinda overreacting, but I can also see where you're coming from. Still -- chill. It isn't gonna end the world or hurt anything. Just avoid it; as I only see it in F!S, here, it can't be that hard.

164. I am sure many did. Whether they admit it or not. (:

[callmejude.livejournal.com]

163. Okay, this is super late 'cause I kinda skipped this secret the first time, but wow, seriously? Are you new? Fandom sexualizes everything. We've got people shipping household appliances for God's sake, politics is certainly not safe.

And I say this as someone with absolutely no interest in either man in that photo. Or in politics, honestly...

Long story short: Get over it. People will have their fun whether you like it or not. My suggestion is, if you're on the "not" side, just leave it alone and stay in your own sandbox.

115. Dunno if anyone has told you, but killing yourself? Kind of a permanent solution to a temporary problem. You need to talk to someone. At least reach out to a close friend. It might be a lot for them to handle but someone's got to know, not just us anons on fandom secrets. You'd be surprised how many people you know would be willing to be your support network and help you through all this. You've just got to admit that you need help, but more importantly, that you want help. It's a tough thing to do, what with the social stigma depression carries but believe me it'll be worth it. Even though you don't see a way out right now, seeking help is the first major step in the right direction. Fandom can only carry you so far.

115. if you're going to do it, do it. don't post to fandom secrets so a hundred people can go "oh noes don't do it you special snowflake." people like you make people really unsympathetic towards actual suicidal people.

ffffffffff didn't know anything about Matt, since I stopped reading the manga when YOU KNOW WHAT happened to L, and didn't watch the anime. then I started playing with someone who just makes Matt so fucking amazing. NOW I DIG HIM LIKE A HOLE TO CHINA >D

Little late in the game, but I have something to say, so whatever.

I've been there. I was tidying up everything in my life so it'd be less of a hassle for my family to clean up after me, I just hadn't decided on the how yet. I was there. But then I realized I hadn't left much of a legacy, nothing to really remember me by, so I decided to finish the book I'd been trying to write. THAT was my reason to keep on going: finish the book, then I can give up.

About a decade later, the book is only a distant memory (thankfully never finished, it was utter crap). I have since been through so many fandoms I've probably forgotten some. I've made friends, I'm engaged to the love of my life, and yeah the bad days sometimes still suck so much I want to just curl up and cry until I pass out...but the good days make it worth getting through them. It will get better, but it can't if you're dead.

Say to yourself "I can't die until I [insert goal]." And set your goals higher. Something like "I can't die until I've seen Stonehenge in person." or "I can't die until I've learned to speak Russian fluently." or whatever. You take those goals and you brand them on the front of your brain and you fucking SURVIVE. And whenever you think "What's the point? Why bother? What right do I have to even keep taking up space?" you look at your goal and you tell yourself to hold on just a little bit longer, because you haven't reached it yet. It may not be much, but by god it WILL give your life some meaning. It will give you something to cling to in the dark days until you can find something to really make your life worth living.

And you will find something. I promise you that. It may take years, but you will find it. And you will look back on now and it will scare the hell out of you how close you came to ending things before you found it. Just hang in there.

If you need someone to talk to, you can reach me at reellifer (at) yahoo (dot) com. I keep irregular hours, but I will get back to you as soon as I'm able.

THE THIRD ONE.

I can't bring myself to type is as A/B but THAT ONE.

"My Life" clinched it for me. Whoops.

116

[caffeine-buzz.livejournal.com]

My icon and I concur with the second half of this secret.

[azurite]

120 - You go! I wish more of the country understood that basic principle outlined in the Constitution-- that we ALL have the right to pursue happiness. Well it's awful hard to pursue happiness when people keep throwing roadblocks like Prop 8 in our way! Sometimes standing up for our beliefs is the only way to be heard to those masses that I think see everything in tunnel vision.

126 - LOL. Love your stylin' secret. Also: boobies!

135 - I won't play it b/c I don't want to shell out for any of the system(s) that it's for. I HATE MICROSOFT, and I still think the PS3 is an overglorified box with only a few good titles to its name. Sony will get me to buy a PSP for 1-2 titles that kick ass (and a few more I've discovered that are already out for it that look fun), but for a PS3, I'd need more than "Prince of Persia" and "Buzz!" The game looks cool though, so maybe SOMEDAY (when the price of the PS3 drops...) I'm not holding my breath.

138 - ♪ I'm a doctor, not a milkman (what does THAT mean?) ♪

142 - Whenever I watch this movie (it's a childhood favorite), I still can't see her as anything but a young, typical (kinda emo, slightly wangsty, fairly selfish) teen. I can't see her as liking/crushing on/sexifying Jareth. Yet in the fandom, the fics you described and the ones I mentioned are ALL I see. So I don't venture back with the hopes of seeing a rare, decently-written fic. It's sad when fandom keeps your expectations low.

145 - I've said that I'd take RPattz out for a beer for all the shit he's been through, and I'd do the same for KStew. She seems nice enough, but to be frank, I see RPattz around (and looking gloomy and awkward) more than I see KStew doing the same. Maybe that's why he comes to mind first-- not because I like him more than her or I'm sexist or anything. KStew and I might get along marvelously-- I'd love to hear her horror stories of paparazzi and whatnot. But she comes across as handling it a lot better than RPattz has, so maybe that's why there's the proliferation of "Oh, I feel so bad for RPattz, poor bb!" (It could also be because people look for RPattz stuff vs. looking for KStew stuff. Remember the fandom.)

151 - GOOOOOO WILDCATS! (I'm jealous; I haven't seen it that many times in theatres, but I think I'll be buying the movie when it comes out on DVD. And I have to pull myself away from the DDR version/Sing It! every time I see it in game stores. The temptation is so great...!)

155 - But you know, he does "douche" so well... (he makes it attractive, and that's kinda scary.)

160 - Sneaky. But the author's name is spelled wrong in several of those filenames. /nitpick.

142

[sulwen.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I think there's plenty of evidence in Labyrinth to support the idea of Sarah becoming depressed or suicidal, or having been abused. And beyond that, people change. Even if you don't believe that there's anything in the movie to support darkfic, a good writer can always set it up with post-movie events.

You're completely entitled to your own opinion, of course, but as with all fic: don't like, don't read. There's a place for darkfic in every fandom, just as there's a place for light fluffy fic, and everything in between. The Labyrinth fandom may be fairly small, but I've still seen fic of every type.

Also, and perhaps this is just me, but I feel like the reason a lot of people are drawn to certain pairings (especially those with a large age and power difference like Sarah/Jareth) has to do with having a safe, healthy place to indulge what you term "victim fantasies." I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. They should be allowed to write whatever floats their boat, just like you are.

Wow, that comment ended up longer than I expected... :-)

Re: 142

[myonlylight.livejournal.com]

Depressed I get. Suicidal... yeah, maybe. But abused? Where's the evidence for that? I thought she was just a bratty teenager with an active imagination. So yeah, I was just wondering what you saw that I didn't.

[renquise.livejournal.com]

129: This is one of the most touching secrets I've seen in here-- I hope things turn out well.

147

[theamazinglora.livejournal.com]

I promise you I'm not stupid, but I'm going to go ahead and assume you, pitiably, have no imagination.

Just because he's hardly seen, he's not allowed to intrigue us in some way? We're not allowed to want to elaborate on his character in fanfiction specifically because the manga allowed us some wiggle room?

OH NO LOOK I'M FORMING MY OWN OPINIONS!! SOMEONE STOP ME!!

125: ...Okay? :/

163: LOL BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW HOW PURE AMERICAN POLITICS ARE.

[l-syllabub.livejournal.com]

105. That is an awesome pic of the Major. I always wanted to read fic with him in it but it's...non-existent? Such a shame!

152. I wrote Lenin/Trotsky once! Totally nonsensical on-a-Siberian-train fic involving Lenin lending Trotsky his coat because he was cold and an argument about that whole Martov thing. Ah Pero! Of course I never posted it anywhere because I was concerned it was horribly OOC. Heh.

Re: 152

[roboplege.livejournal.com]

Nonsensical on-a-Siberian-train fic FTW!

Please post it somewhere :P

115

[welfycat.livejournal.com]

I completely understand what you are saying, and I've been there more than once. But, I have to say, in my experience, trying to kill yourself isn't worth the hassle. My advice: Find something or many things, to live for. Pour yourself into something, even if it's geeky or silly or other people think it's dumb. Write, draw, create, anything that can help you feel alive.
I still go through bouts of wanting to die or not wanting to exist. And it takes weeks or months to pull back out of them. But, eventually I do, even if it's only for a few weeks before I dive back down again. But those few weeks are worth it, every single time.
I hope you find something that helps make life worth living.

Re: 115

[somepoorstudent.livejournal.com]

I agree. I've felt this way myself sometimes. Maybe you should find someone to help you. A friend, a family member... hell, an anonymous internet friend who's willing to listen.

Elfycat makes good suggestions. Find something to absorb you, even if it's geeky or silly. Having something to live for helps.

And not to make light of it, but... do you REALLY want to miss the end of BSG?

Around 20 aspirin will kill an average adult.

[(Anonymous)]

115. I agree. Suicide is the only option. Hell, if I was living for Harry Potter books I'd have killed myself long ago.

Goodnight sweet prince.... er, princess!

The Paperclipchains Drinking Game

[(Anonymous)]

1. Every time PCC posts over & over again in a FS thread as if it's making her mad money, take one very small sip.

2. Every time PCC makes an unfunny, long-winded serious!post in FS, take a sip.

3. Every time PCC brings up feminism, feminist theory or THE PATRIARCHY RAGH! in an unrelated discussion, take two sips.

4. Every time you find yourself wishing PCC would never comment again, take three sips to dull the head-splitting pain of reading her posts.

Warning: This game may lead to fatal alcohol poisoning.

Re: The Paperclipchains Drinking Game

[(Anonymous)]

LOL! I think I'm done with puking my brains out and then passing out.

However, I agree with the sentiment. I don't think that she's left comments to me, but I've seen them elsewhere enough that I've gone from rolling my eyes to being irritated every time I see her handle.
