Cry more, jealousyfag.

115, 155, 165, 166

[meaghan1345.livejournal.com]

115: This is a very good idea. It would definitely be interesting.

155: I ship Prentiss/Reid, but not Morgan/Prentiss because I ship Morgan/Garcia.

165: I'm kind of with you. Freema is gorgeous but her acting leaves a lot to be desired. (though I am fond of Martha...sort of)

166: I thought the exact same thing! Penelope is my favorite (Hanners comes in at a close second though).

166

[kartos.livejournal.com]

I love both Hanners and Penelope, and I really think that the artist completely ignores how much better they are than the main cast.

119

[rah-rah-ramen.livejournal.com]

ohmygod yes.

161

[(Anonymous)]

...okay, the secret itself is awesome (JOBS TOPS!), but--did you just make a TYPOGRAPHY joke? in fandomsecrets?

from one anon to another, MARRY ME.

[masterfedora.livejournal.com]

104: I think it's a terrible casting choice and I like the actor just fine. However Holmes is an egotistical drug addict.

106: I think anybody who "worships" somebody for creating a movie/televison show/book etc universe is just setting themselves up for disappointment. They might be cool people but they're still freaking people.

109: Awww, I think we all want that OP.

115: LOL! I like this idea.

126: Okay I'll bite. Are you?

132: So you lied about not liking it, so you like it? Why in the hell would that have to be a secret? What kind of strange friends do you have?

134: Daria is awesome.

137: I'm not even all that girly and I agree with you. I loved Disney. I would've tried to own everything. XD You want a secret? I want to buy the stuff now.

143: But but...Megas XLR was awesome!

167: Ouch.

169: I'd worry if it becomes an obsession. Otherwise eh.

126 OP

[(Anonymous)]

Neither actually. As far as I'm aware of, anyway.

[andromeda3116.livejournal.com]

162. So... Unless you're Japanese, you have no right to enjoy the culture, or to actively seek to learn more about it? Good to know. Out of curiosity, do you feel the same about people taking interest in any culture which isn't their own (i.e. an American being fascinated by British history/literature) or just Japanese?

115

[aralias.livejournal.com]

if you're interested, he hangs around with the sixth doctor and companion, evelyn smythe in the big finish audio play, 'bloodtide'. it also has silurians and it's... quite good, actually, though there are some terrible accents and whilst some of the stuff with evelyn talking to darwin is really nice the play has some dubious things to say about evolution: doctor who style. but still - worth listening to, i think.

104

[mahkia.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he plays characters who are egotistical drug/drinking addicts... He doesn't MAKE them that way; that's what they ARE. And actually, I can't think of all that many that he's even played. Seems to me you're basing this mostly on RDJ-based Iron Man fandom, and frankly, that movie got more people into Marvel itself anyway, so what's the harm in new fans? Unless you're an elitist dick.

[vivalana.livejournal.com]

104. Yes, Holmes is an egotistical drug addict, but he’s also so much more. XD And I’m torn over Jude Law. On one hand, it will help dispel the image people have of Watson being a Nigel Bruce-esque dunderhead, but on the other hand… the fangirls. The inevitable syrupy descriptions of cerulean eyes and raspberry lips. Oy.

106. I literally have been watching/reading Whedon since Buffy first premiered when I was eleven. His style had a huge part in the development of my own. In a way, that actually ruined Whedon for me. Well, I can still enjoy him, but I also find his “twists” coming from a mile away, and when someone relies on the gut-punch for emotional resonance as much as Whedon does, this is a problem.

Also, every week someone says “Even a half-assed Whedon show is better than anything else on TV” and I have to scream because No! NO!

109. I want a Butters plushie more than air.

122. I loved it way too much, too. “It’s not real person slash if it’s REAL”!

137. As long as you believe in equal rights for men and women, then you are a feminist. Feminism is about empowering women and giving them choices, not stuffing them in cold metal boxes. You wear those girly, pretty dresses, tiger. Wear them with pride.

167. Gah, I’m sorry. I don’t think it’s any easier to make fandom friends as it is in real life. I guess it depends on your definition of “friendship,” too.

[pensive]

It will be nice to have a true Watson for a change, and not some fat bungler dufus.

on the other hand… the fangirls. The inevitable syrupy descriptions of cerulean eyes and raspberry lips. Oy.

*facedesk*

104.

[magpiggles.livejournal.com]

Wondered if the whole 'egotistical drug addict' was trolling, going by responses, I think it was and that you pulled it off.

Re: 104.

[shiplizard.livejournal.com]

50/50 split between 'trolling' or 'waiting for someone to say the obvious so I can break out my 1337 f4n sk|llzors.'

164

[heather.livejournal.com]

164. I wonder what fandom you're talking about, because I'm feeling the same way about one of mine. So far I'm nowhere near wanting to leave the fandom, though. I'm just wanting to start writing in it, and participating in discussions and such, so there can be more of the stuff I want to see. XP

It's kind of a vicious cycle -- if there's one thing that people get obsessed about above everything else, then that thing becomes all that gets written and all that ever gets recced, then people who aren't into that character/ship/whatever start feeling marginalized and so they shrink back, and they write less of what they like, and ... there continues to be less of it.

For me it's strange because one of my fandoms is so freaking big that there's always a niche for whatever you want to read, but my newest one is really small and monopolized by this one thing. And if I don't want things to always be that way, then I should stick around and add to the numbers of people who want to see something different. Fandoms die without the actual fans there to support them. You know?

142, 166

[starsparkle333.livejournal.com]

142. Serves her right. I got a similar look from someone I lived with for a summer and I never could really like her after that.

166. I love Penny.

111

[http://users.livejournal.com/nightcrawler_2_/]

OH GOD EW WHAT SAJDFOPASJDPSA

147, 148, 153, 154

[ali-wildgoose.livejournal.com]

147) I mean this completely sincerely: THANK YOU FOR SPOILING ME. I like the series but was worried it would end HORRIBLY AND HEARTWRENCHINGLY, but this sounds like an ending my heart can take.

148) Just go with it, man. That ship may be not-a-little-incestuous, but it's also really adorable. <3

153) HAH. While I do love Zuko and Sokka, HOT OLD MEN FOR THE MOTHERFUCKING WIN :D

154) Dude, speak out! The more yaoi-loving straight guys there are, the easier it'll be for further yaoi-loving straight guys to come out of the yaoi closet ^_-

153 OP

[(Anonymous)]

8D FUCK YEAH!

[3goodtimes.livejournal.com]

106. Can you give us some context? Say what?

118. I liked Wybie too.

130. It's not an uncommon writing exercise even outside of fandom. Also, it's a lot harder for me to write something that short than it is to write a bigger fic, personally.

157. It's not an unusual fantasy for women actually. Not my bag, but not unheard of either. Not in the least

170. You're missing some of the point here. And death is actually quite funny to quite a few people. Matter of taste, I suppose.

104, 160

[pensive]

104 - I am a huge fan of his, but I am totally with you on fans who will only think the movie is good because he's in it. What's worse is so many of them will have never read a Holmes story (wtf they're mostly FANFIC length) and won't know if he's doing the character right.

160 - OH GOD. TONY. THAT SCENE.

[fivil.livejournal.com]

152. Anybody who cries out for lack of fandom for a show they love and then fails to mention the name of the show so people who might be curious can't check it out is made of some serious fail.

Anybody know the fandom on this one?

[vega-ofthe-lyre.livejournal.com]

The Palace. I just got into it and the OP is right, it is basically epic soap opera-esque shiny win, if that's your thing!

137

[lysimache.livejournal.com]

Awww, I love them too! And I think it is so sad that there wasn't all the *stuff* when I was little. (I buy it now.) It doesn't make me, or you, OP, a bad feminist, I promise!

*shows you her lesbian!feminist!card and beautiful Aurora!costume sympathetically*?

[andromeda-2.livejournal.com]

101:I don't read DOGS, but damn, now I kinda wish he was a she. I find female characters wearing eye-patches very appealing ^^

114:OH GOD BAD MEMORIES COMING BACK NOW D:

120+131:Repeats, I believe?

154:For some reason, the wording in this secret makes me a bit mad. It seems...I don't know, insulting? Maybe it's just me =/

154

[ember-reignited.livejournal.com]

No, you're right. Those are not particularly nice terms for a straight person to use about gay men and lesbians.

130, 137

[mcwicca.livejournal.com]

130: Some people actually do write amazing drabbles. It takes a lot of talent to say a lot with so few words, so I have a lot of respect for people who do it well. You're right in that a lot of people produce crap, but that just makes the good ones all the more extraordinary.

137: Feminism and pretty dresses are not mutually exclusive. Wanting to dress like a princess does not make you a bad feminist. It would make you a bad feminist if you thought all girls should ONLY dress like princesses.

Re: 130, 137

[mahkia.livejournal.com]

Well-said on both. You win my internet, just a wee bit. &hearts

104

[eleanorb.livejournal.com]

104 - I think the whole Jude Law thing is far more cringe worthy. Either way I'd have to be dragged screaming to the cinema to watch.

142

[(Anonymous)]

If the anime thing was the only reason, why mention that she was Black? Sounds like anime wasn't the *only* reason....

Idiot anon

[(Anonymous)]

Idiot anon is an idiot

[karel]

102. Why? I actually tend to prefer character that I wouldn't have to change my hair color/wear a wig to play.

107. People like that worry me. I mean the stalkerish behavior and all. OOC behavior in fic is annoying too, though. I mean... it's one thing to explore the darker side of the source material. I like some of the more "gritty" pieces in my various fandoms that really have that potential. But writing characters OOC to do it... just no.

153. Sokka's dad was pretty hot. Just saying ;D

157. OP, don't worry! So long as you only like it in fiction and RP scenarios, that's just fine! It's nothing to be ashamed of (:

162. So Japan is such a super special country that nobody can be interested in it if they're not a "weeaboo"? Is that what you're saying, OP? Because I'm sorry, I just don't think it is that special.

166. Penelope is fun, but I really like Hanners. And I want the "worry shirt."

[holophonics.livejournal.com]

DRIVE-BY LOVE FOR YOUR KAREL ICON ♥

141, 165

[neth-dugan.livejournal.com]

141 - I don't think this is TRUE but now that you've pointed it out anon, I can so see that.I want it to be true now

165 - I don't think she couldn't act her way out of a paper bag, I just don't think that she's a great actor. I'm hoping she'll get better as she learns more of the craft though. I like the idea of Martha ('cept the doe eyes and crush on The Doctor) and I liked the way Freema tried to portray her.... but she wasn't that great at it.

106, 111, 120, 136, 137

[fruitsgrow.livejournal.com]

106. I never quite understand why anyone worships Whedon; I, really, don't. I think Buffy and Angel are actually not that great; I love Firefly, and I approve of his writing for the Alien Quadrilogy -- but seriously. What line was it?

111. ...the art is bad, but lol the circled parts make me think rimming and finger sucking turns you off. Either way, just stop looking. Damn.

120. ): No.

136. As long as you don't post them as yours, I guess.

137. lol seriously? You're allowed to stand for equality, anti-sexist thought, and put on lipstick, you know.

Re: 106, 111, 120, 136, 137

[3goodtimes.livejournal.com]

106. Well, that's why it's a matter of preference. I've never understood why people worship Star Trek, but there must be something there that really appeals to a bunch of people in a really intense way. *shrug*
