... 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 while I'm definitely not the world's greatest expert at secret design, I'll try my best. Please note that long comment secrets can be difficult to make with a good end result. Most of the time, I'll give it a shot but might not be able to make secrets where the text is so lengthy that I can't fit it into the limited space.

I'm trying something new with the comment secret thread and extending the deadline to comment until Monday's post goes up. I'll monitor this thread until then, and hope the extra day will be more helpful for everyone.

Cheers,

a secret maker

P.S. Please don't worry if you've submitted a secret and it hasn't been posted yet. I usually post these threads before running out of the previous batch of secrets to get a head start on the next batch.

Nothing makes me more sure that any indie project will fail than when they come to broad genre forums and fan discords wanting to "communally source ideas" because they don't have any strong plans or visions of their own.

This goes for novels, games, webcomics, fanworks, fan events, etc etc.

If you have to ask "what should I do at all?" and not "what do you think of this idea I already have?" it's inevitably going to be bad.

I love friend slop games (Peak, REPO, RV There Yet, etc). Are they games we'll only play for like two weeks? yeah. but they are a fun two weeks and usually really cheap.

I can never play the evil route in games. I always feel bad.

I wish more abortion story lines would resolve in the character actually getting an abortion.

Creators of fanwork should be paid for commissioned work; it's their time and effort and talent creating something to spec that they would not have created otherwise.

Creators charging people for mere viewing access to non-commissioned fanworks based on others' IP that they're producing anyway, though? I don't have much sympathy for. I don't repost paywalled content, but I don't feel bad when they complain about it being reposted elsewhere by others, either.

Ofc this is for fan content only; a creator paywalling original content is totally fair.

I have done a ton of free fandom work over the years. There's no 'it's only fandom' about it to me: when I volunteer for something, I have made a commitment and promise to other people. If I say I'll be there, I'll be there.

But that said... the amount of bitching and moaning from whiny, entitled fans that take fellow fans' effort for granted means that I commit to less and less things now.

Bonus: it's always the middle aged fans crying about how fandom isn't the 90s any more that are the worst

I was not really interested in Jennifer Aniston or Reese Witherspoon until I binged The Morning Show. I have a brand new appreciation for them!

[Fandom: TRUST FALL! by GHOST (Vocaloid producer)]

Idk man, based on these lyrics I don't think GHOST is quite as at peace with their fandom and the people in it as they say they are

(Song's still a bop though)

I would watch a TV show about William Bligh's life, but only if it focused on the Rum Rebellion part of it instead of the done-to-death Mutiny on the Bounty part. We do not need yet another rehash of the latter, but apparently we're getting one anyway!

So the next Batman movie will have someone who has never been in Batmovies before as a villain, and they will completely unexpected.

To me, that means it is confirmed: Reeves is bringing back Zarbor! And it is about damn time the little guy got his due.

What? I'm not insane, you're insane!

I judge THE ABSOLUTE SHIT out of anyone who actually considers the Terrifier series quality horror movies because I either
1. Assume you're too dumb to know better or
2. Jack off to torture and gore

Growth and change and empathy, yeah yeah, but I never really got over Rollins' habitual victim blaming and internalized misogyny enough to like her or care about her character on Law and Order SVU. Her departure from the show wasn't impactful for me.

Indie country > all other subgenres of country music

Ursula from The Little Mermaid reads as a lesbian to me, and what's more shameful is that I'd let her do terrible things to me with those tentacles

Contestants on baking competition shows with long nails gross me out

The existence of horror versions of Disney movies makes my heart hurt.

I don't trust any man who is super into torture-porn style horror movies.

I liked Oliver and Company better than the Aristocats, and I'm still waiting for the cat distribution system to send me an orange kitten like Oliver.

The only incest ship I like is Thor and Loki in the Marvel movies.

It's great that music from KPOP Demon Hunters is on the radio, but I think "Your Idol" and "Hows it Done" are better songs.

I sympathized with Dr. Facilier in The Princess and the Frog.

Listen, I'm into hot animated, pretty men as much as the next guy, but I didn't find any of the Saja Boys' designs appealing.

I actually don't mind that 911 killed off Bobby, but this season has been really lackluster. It isn't that Bobby is missing, it is that they've run out of good story ideas. I may actually give this show up if things don't improve in the new year.

On my bucket list is to see a Premier League match in London
