[Picture is a "colorbar", a banner that has colors of the whole rainbow and text inside it.]

I really hate colorbars.

Colorbars were fandom banners that often had text and pictures proclaiming a fan's favorite characters, settings, fandom interpretations of canon, etc. You used to see them often in LiveJournal profiles about a decade ago.

[Secret 2 is missing, but from the comments, it was about the secret maker shipping Xemnas and Demyx from the videogame series "Kingdom Hearts". Xemnas is a man with slightly dark skin and long gray hair (and amber eyes?), while Demyx is a young man with light skin, short blond hair gelled upwards and blue eyes, often carrying around a blue sitar. They both usually wear black robes.]

[Picture is a screen-capture from the game "Harvest Moon" for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It shows a person running down a road in a town.]

I love this game.

[Secret 4 has been lost, but from the comments, it seems to have been about the actor Tatsuya Fujiwara, who played Light Yagami in the "Death Note" live action films.]

[Picture is a screen-capture of the LiveJournal account (community?) "Soulbonding". It has the following "about" text:

"In order to fully appreciate fiction - to enjoy it and to benefit from it - it is necessary to, as they say, "suspend your disbelief." While you're reading a book or watching a movie or even playing a video game you can't think to yourself, "This is only fiction. This has no relevance to me whatsoever. It did not happen. The people are not real." You take an interest. You feel empathy. You know the characters. Sometimes, all of that ends when the story is over and you return to reality, but not always."]

[Text from the secret maker]

I might be one of you and it scares me.

Soulbounding/Soulbounders: a subculture in fandom united by the belief that fictional characters are real on some spirit-like level and that the fan has a deep spiritual, emotional, empathetic and/or psychic connection to one or more of them.

[Secret 6 has been taken away by the deep dark waves of the internet, but going from the comments, it had something to do with twins (possibly a specific pair of fictional twins?).]

[Picture is Squall Leonheart from the videogame "Final Fantasy VIII". He is a young man with light skin and short dark brown hair wearing a fur-lined short black leather jacket, black leather pants, two criss-crossing brown belts, black boots, black gloves, a white T-shirt and a huge metal pendant. He is holding a huge "gunblade" and looking serious.]

I think I used to hate you because you reminded me of me. I still hate you.

[Picture is a black and white drawing of Axel from the videogame series "Kingdom Hearts". Axel is a young man with light skin, short spiky red hair and two small vertical-lines beneath his cheeks, kind of like tattoos or marks or something? He is wearing a black robe. He is smiling confidently and kind of grimly while holding up a huge chakram thing with many spikes. The image has a speech bubble where the secret maker placed their text, so it might have been from a manga, or a doujinshi, or a fancomic or something? In front of Axel is the photograph of a man with light skin, short dark hair combed and gelled neatly. He is wearing large eyeglasses, a dark gray suit jacket, a blue shirt and a dark suit. He has a "boring teacher" look to him. There is the word "[DENIED]" stamped on him, in red.]

I pretend my teachers are my favorite bishounen when I don't feel like paying attention in class.

[Picture of secret 9 is missing, but going from the comments, it was about the character Reno, from the "Final Fantasy VII" videogame and expanded universe, who is a hired assassin in canon, being portrayed as a blushing girlish uke, and something about the LiveJournal shipping community "RenoRude" dying or the secret maker wanting it to die?]

[Picture is Youji Katou and Kyousuke Iwaki from the OVA adaptation of the yaoi manga "Haru wo Daiteita" or "Embracing Love". Youji Katou is a man with light skin and blond hair reaching his chin. Kyousuke Iwaki is a man with light skin and short dark hair. They are both naked muscular men arguing.]

It's sexy when you roleplay someone who actually fights back to top. Sadly, it never happens.

[Picture is a screen-capture of the website "The Hex Files". It's a fanfiction archive of slash fanfiction of Draco and Harry, characters from the "Harry Potter" book series.]

This is the first fandom forum that made me feel welcome.

[Picture is the rapper Eminem. He is a man with light skin and dark eyes wearing a dark tanktop, a silver ring and he has the tattoo of a young girl on his arm, along with other tattoos of letters and symbols.]

I've been a (secretly hardcore) fan since 1999. Ironically, he may have been my first boycrush.

I still think he's awesome.

[Picture is a drawing or very edited photograph of a woman wearing heavy make-up.]

I always wonder what celebrities look like without make-up.

[Picture is Rayne Summers and Noel from the webcomic "Least I Could Do"? Rayne Summers is a man with light skin and short dark hair, while Noel has light skin and short brown hair. They both look super smug.]

It makes me sad that these two will never be together. The world totally needs more gay. [sad face emoticon]
