I've been here about ten years, and I've been introduced to some pretty cool media through the secrets.

I watched Fullmetal Alchemist 2003 because someone posted a pretty intense secret about the dog spoiler thing and it peaked my interest. It's still one of my favorite shows! I also got really into Yume Nikki and Lobotomy Corporation because of secrets. I don't think I would ever come across those games otherwise.

The Untamed and Word of Honour.

Tangentially then, the anon who recced me The Untamed is also responsible for me taking up Chinese, do that's cool. Thanks nonny.

*high fives a fellow fan* It's cool you started studying Chinese!

+1!

I'm still starting them but so far enjoying the ride!

I think I've said this before, but even though I've read L.M. Montgomery's other works, I hadn't actually read The Blue Castle until someone made a secret about how it was their favorite Montgomery novel. It's now one of my go-to comfort reads, so thanks, FS!

The Blue Castle is such an amazing book and I'll always be forever grateful to the secret maker who made that secret about it.

I've mentioned this before, and it's not so much that I *found* Tiger & Bunny through FS, because a couple of my friends had seen it and posted briefly saying it was good.

But the main impetus to watch it even though I hadn't watched any new anime for like 6-7 years was a secret here that made me go "...Okay, I need context for that screenshot because anime has not made me go 'lolwtf' like that since Getbackers."

I'd seen a couple of episodes before, but I started watching 9-1-1 during the pandemic after it was mentioned here.

GIFs of that show confused the hell out of me. Just like with Teen Wolf, the gifs tricked me into thinking two of the characters were gay (I know Buck is the name of one of them). But I guess they are not but there is a different gay couple on the show?

There are a bunch of gay characters on the show but the two dudes who get shipped voraciously - Buck and Eddie - are not (I mean, one holds out hope for them being bi...) They are, at least, best friends so it's not one of those situations where shippers act like its totally canon and then you find out the characters hardly have anything to do with each other.

I never really found any media through F!S but I think the memory of someone here mentioning Halt And Catch Fire a couple of times, years ago, helped spur me to check it out when I saw it on Netflix last year. Like, instead of it being basically invisible to me, it caught my eye because I thought, "That's the show with the interesting name that someone on F!S kept mentioning in a positive light a few years ago." Anyway, it turned out to be one of my favorite shows of all time, so...fuck yeah, thanks person who mentioned it several times years ago!

Also, the named user here (can't remember which one) who likes Pontypool helped nudge me into watching Pontypool. Admittedly, for this one 70% of the credit goes to my RL friend who is a horror movie buff and wanted to watch it with me. But my readiness to say, "Yeah, sure, let's watch it," and not vote for something else instead was probably thanks to whoever sometimes mentions it here whenever someone asks for good horror movies. (Which it definitely is.)

Let this comment be a testament to the value of talking about shit you like. Because people may rarely follow your recs outright, but said rec will probably stick in the back of their mind somewhere and may lead to them eventually giving said thing a chance at some point down the line. :)

Might have been me. I try to mention Pontypool as much as possible. *throws Canadian zombie movie at everyone I meet*

Yes, it was probably you! Thank you, it's a good one! It's remarkably disturbing in a way that has stuck in my mind for a long time.

...Well that makes me feel a bit better about the fact that I mention Vagrant Story and my beloved cultists pretty much every time there is the slightest excuse to, hahah.

Yuppie Psycho! Still haven't played it, but I'm still intrigued and have it on my list. :D

I started watching SK8 the Infinity after seeing some secrets about it and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It's just a super fun anime and I love the friendship between the two dudes.

When you say "dog" you mean the chimera, right?

I'm not sure I got into fandoms based on secrets but I'm regurlarly jotting down recs when then crop up in discussions threads. Oh the number of books sitting on my e-reader thanks to that...

AYRT. yes.
