Retro secrets

[(Anonymous)]

The cabbage harvest has begun and it's almost time for the roads to melt, so I thought I'd indulge in some FS nostalgia.

Of the secrets you may have shared here, which was your favorite?

What was your favorite secret of someone else's?

Re: Retro secrets

[greghousesgf]

I got a laugh out of an anon comment posted here several years ago. Some secret poster (who claimed to be both very attractive and a show business pro of some sort) was maintaining that actors do very little to seem cool/sexy and it was all done by the people behind the scenes and she trash talked Hugh Laurie as an example. The anon commenter's response to this was something along the lines of "oh, dear, sounds like somebody's a bit miffed that Hugh did not want to fuck her!"

I don't think I have a favorite of my own. Mine are pretty mild so they don't generally tend to generate a lot of discussion.

This is my all time favorite secret someone else made because of the out of proportion wank it caused: https://fandomsecrets.dreamwidth.org/739436.html?thread=618036844

Okay so I'm high but the first part of your post sounds like what two spies say to each other:

First spy sits down on park bench, looks suspiciously around: "The cabbage harvest has begun."

Second spy, gazing off into the distance as he folds up his newspaper and places it on the bench between them: "And it's almost time for the roads to melt."

First spy picks up folded newspaper containing secret plans, and leaves.

None from the top of my head but I remember sharing some (non-controversial or bigoted) thoughts that I thought were *gasp* absurd, or would cause a lot of fandom wank and seeing a lot of people agreeing, it was very... nice.

All time favorite recs thread

Rec me your favorite ever fics, the best of the best in your opinion.

Re: All time favorite recs thread

[kaijinscendre]

I've read so many fics it is hard to have all time favorites. But below are a couple I go back to (that have not been deleted).

Amateur Theatrics. https://archiveofourown.org/works/373529/chapters/608969
A Winter's Tale. https://archiveofourown.org/works/2654327/chapters/5930561

Oh shit! It’s on.

Well, this one barely counts as fic since it’s so AU you don’t even need the source material: ‘Patience, a steady hand’ by Helenish. Inception, E, Viking slave AU (I know, shut up! It’s good), warning for non-con, though not gratuitous. https://archiveofourown.org/works/170021

Also, this other one by Helenish, also Inception, E: ‘Pants on Fire’ https://archiveofourown.org/works/177509

Most of my fav fics (that are not just smut) are Inception for some reason, so here’s one more: ‘Breaking and Entering’ by Resonant. Inception, E https://archiveofourown.org/works/225612

A River Without Banks by Chryse - Sherlock, looong, Johnlock. By far the best time-travel fic I've ever read. Probably the best time-travel fic I'll ever read.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/3204689/chapters/6969521

They Put Me In A Cage Full Of Lions by Amerella - SPN, shortish, gen. A look at Sam & Dean as young children, from young Dean's perspective. One of the most exquisite and devastating explorations of childhood trauma I've ever read, anywhere. I'm not even in the SPN fandom and this fic still makes my Best Of All Time list.
https://web.archive.org/web/20080131094458/http://amerella.livejournal.com/138014.html

Revelations by the Ride To Church anon - Starker, long. Easily the best Starker fic out there; it exemplified everything I want from this pairing. Also one of the only fics I've ever read where each sex scene held me utterly riveted from beginning to end and never once diminished the delicious, delicious tension.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/16508027/chapters/38664932

Universal Invariants by Syntax6 - X-Files, long, MSR. Everything by Syntax6 is amazing. She's a successful professional author now, and I'm not even surprised.
http://www.omniscribe.com/universal.html

Parabiosis by Penumbra - X-Files, medium length, MSR. An all-time fandom darling, absolutely gorgeous, though if you can't handle poetic prose it may not be your cup of tea.

I will go to bat for this fic until the end of time, I don't even love the fandom (Carmilla) that much any more, but I just think the character work is so well done in this, the prose is so well-executed, and the metaphysical mystery-y stuff is so well done.

Kill Strike Trigger by Ilethe

https://archiveofourown.org/works/6068986/chapters/13910902

MCU, Bucky-centric with a focus on post-WS recovery and relationship building with the rest of the Cap Quartet. It gets very dark but never loses hope or heart. And it has some of the best action I've ever read in a fic.

Secrets you don't want to make...

[(Anonymous)]

... but you wouldn't mind if someone else made them for you! As always, including the fandom and full character names is a big help, and I'll try my best to use an appropriate image choice. Er, just to clarify - it's my intention to make all the secrets left in this thread, so even if they're not marked claimed, they will be made.

I'll monitor this thread until tomorrow's secret post goes up, so feel free to leave your comments until then!

Yours truly,

a secret maker

Jealousy is one of my least favorite tropes. But what I really hate is how it is so often played so differently when it is a male character vs. a female character. Sometimes in the same show. When you you have M1xF1 in a relationship, and M2 starts flirting with F1, M1 will be possessive and act like he owns F1, and there will be dick measuring contests. Meanwhile, if F2 flirts with M1, F1 will be jealous, but not to the same extent. I hate it so much. Not romantic, not healthy.

I like Superman Returns. I think it is a genuinely good movie. And I think it is far superior to every single movie in the new DC canon, even the semi-decent first Wonder Woman and Aquaman movies.

I wish I had a Tangled :The Series discord to chill in that didn't infantalize Varian. I was in a bunch that were really annoying about that.

Re: Secrets you don't want to make...

The fandom is FE3H.

While I don't think people prefer Dimitri over Claude because of racism - even though I guess it does play a part - and I kind of understand why someone, especially a young adult who's been raised on traditional romances or chick flicks, would go for Dimitri, I don't get how you could call his romance healthy or even heartwarming.

Granted, post time-skip!Dimitri's hot but he's a mess and you would have to hold his hand forever. How is that appealing? On the other hand, Claude doesn't really need you anymore post time-skip, which makes him the best male het option in the game imo.

I also romanced Felix and Hubert because I found them hot and liked their personalities. Clearly my tastes suck just as much as Dimitri fans so I'm not judging. Like at all.

I’m a staunch pro-shipper, but the pro-ship argument of “How can antis be against X/Y/Z but be fine with horror movies and crime procedurals? What hypocrites!” makes me roll my eyes. Ask literally any anti how they feel about people fapping to horror movies and I guarantee the anti will say it’s fucking sick that someone would be turned on by that content. Most antis don’t have an issue with dark content. They have an issue with people kinking on or romanticizing dark content.

When L&O starts putting out episodes where the detectives erotically rape the perps, I guarantee the antis will be howling for the show’s cancellation.

In short: Antis suck, but "I notice you're fine with murder in your entertainment!" isn't the 'gotcha' a lot of pro-shippers seem to think it is.

I haaaattttee the treasure hunt trope where a) the treasure/money really exists, i.e. the narrative proves it does, b) the people hunting actually really need the treasure/money for some good reason, and c) they don't find the treasure, d) there's no alternative solution to the need for the treasure hunters presented, and e) we're supposed to believe the journey was the treasure all along. It really reads like "other things are more valuable than money" and you know what, fuck that. Sometimes you need money before you need friends.

I still love Welcome to Night Vale, but it's been nine years-

can we PLEASE start to get an explanation on Cecil?

I yearned for this fic for years, but now that I'm reading it, this trans man x cis girl take on one of my forever OTPs is Too Real, and it's sending me into a spiral of depression and doubt.
