13. I hope you mean the books (and if you do, I agree with you so much), because the TV show was absolutely awful.

9, meet 18.

[(Anonymous)]

18 here, lol. And 9 is exactly what's been sending me up the wall, too. But that's why I wrote my secret here, because I don't want to bother anyone who likes it over in the actual LJs and forums. I'm in a few over-squeed pairings myself, after all. I'm all for live-and-let-live when it comes to shipping preferences.

I still loathe that pairing and wish it would go away, though. ::shamed::

[mefiant.livejournal.com]

13. Me too.

[insanepurin.livejournal.com]

Drive-by icon love! ;D

You are far from alone (http://community.livejournal.com/animorphs/333855.html).

(Animorphs changed my life, too. In ways that I can't even begin to express. So thank you for at least trying.)

[sarajayechan.livejournal.com]

14. I'd take that over the paper doll perfect hubby he was in My Inner Life. And no ukeboi!Link could match his portrayal in Burning For You...then again I don't read a lot of Zelda fic, so I'm probably way in the dark about this. XD

24. I fucking love you for that last line there. "Het is all Mary Sue fluff, slash is so much hawter!" my ass. Especially when you see what these drooling slashbrats do to their precious bishounen. :x

[sevendials.livejournal.com]

24. ... I'm thinking of Fanon Duo right now. I CRINGE.

1.

[sevendials.livejournal.com]

I have nothing to say about this secret other than I agree wholeheartedly.

Re: 1.

[imxnotxshort.livejournal.com]

I wish my mother would stop telling me to get a real hobby and interact with real people. First off, does she think everyone else on the internet is secretly a spambot?


I ask that question of -everyone- that tells me to interact with real people. "I'm a real person, and I'm on the internet. Are you saying that everyone else is fabricated by my computer, solely for my amusement?"

[morinzilion.livejournal.com]

13. I didn't read that initally because it was kinda tl;dr, but... Yeah, me too. It's kinda profound, now that I realized how much the books taught important lessons. (Osprey Icon FTW. Too bad I don't have a Red Tailed Hawk, icon, because I used to be a Massive Tobias fangirl. XD)

[imxnotxshort.livejournal.com]

Totally agree. I skipped that secret until I saw the responses to it...
Tobias' existance only improved my obsession with hawks in general. Red Tails were always my favorite.

[yuriranch.livejournal.com]

1. IAWTS I'm prefectly content with the world so long as I'm not out in the middle of it. I'd rather being online doing "what I love to do."

2. Write a complaint to the mangaka :< Or you know, just don't read it.

3. I had a witty and thoughtful comment for this secret, but then I refreshed the page, and I lost it... and I can't remember it, so :(

14. ... I think my brain broke.

And you're perfectly entitled to that belief. I'm used to it, and I'm done trying to convince people. I just wanted to get it out there somewhere, and honestly expected about a million people to reply like you just did. Don't believe me. You don't have to and I'm not making you.

Although I do wonder why you think anyone would get any sort of satisfaction from posting something like that completely anonymously, and never coming out and saying who they are, even with so much support in reply.

But hey, it's your right not to believe me. I'm happy knowing that there were a lot of people that do.

Re: 11

[wolfychan.livejournal.com]

Your mom's about five million dollars worth of dumb if she hasn't sued. I mean, wouldn't she have the originals?

Plus, character design at an enormous studio like Pixar/Disney doesn't work like that. There's always a million revisions and meetings and director's notes to "see what they'd look like with six legs... nah, don't like it" and studio notes to "make them better for toys" and all that. They're not going to spend months and millions of dollars animating designs lifted unaltered from some random illustrator.

Plus it's just ridiculous.

Plus you write like a troll. "I don't care what you think! Really! Not caring! NOT CARING REALLY LOUD RIGHT HERE GUYS!"

[nanakibh.livejournal.com]

17. HOWL/SCARECROW MAN. How 'bout that. XDD
19. I know exactly what you mean. That's what happened to FMA for me.
22. I wonder if that's about who I think it's about...
25. lol?

[(Anonymous)]

17. nonono, shhh. Besides, they need some more interaction other than saying one or two lines to eachother to be slashable in my book.

11

[kyo-o.livejournal.com]

Unless your a friend of the secret's original poster, what's wrong with just posting that as a comment?.

Re: 11 (not the op)

[(Anonymous)]

because it's not drama whorish enough?

...I got nothin'.

Number One

[nashidesei.livejournal.com]

This is insanely true for me too. The picture kinda weirds me out, 'cause DAMN if that doesn't look like one of my hands. Freaky.

[irish-ais.livejournal.com]

25. Best secret ever.

1

[ex-parle.livejournal.com]

Amen.

[penumbra.livejournal.com]

9 & 18 -- I ship you guys.

[nashidesei.livejournal.com]

You, my friend, are MADE OF WIN. XD

11

[jukebox-hero.livejournal.com]

11. Uh, why did you not just post that as a comment when the original secret was posted? Do you need attention that badly?

[rabanastre.livejournal.com]

15. Omfg Dean ♥♥

23. Ditto. It always annoyed me in Nodame Cantabile when the characters would try to play the piano, and their fingers wouldn't actually move. D:

23.

[crackjaw.livejournal.com]

That actually happens in almost every anime ever where someone plays the piano, because piano playing is way too complicated for that kind of animation budget. Still annoys me every time, though. (OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB, I'M LOOKING AT YOU.)

[nekokoban]

#18 -- that ... kind of sucks, I'm sorry. :\ I mean, right, okay, I'm a fan of the pairing too, but (I like to think) I actually like the series for a bunch of other things.

On the other hand, I'm also one of those freaks who's really excited for the new companion in season 4, so what do I know? XD

[colortheory.livejournal.com]

Same. I like Doctor/Master, but it's not OMG WHY I WATCH THE SHOW!!1one

AND YES. DONNA RETURNS. I'm so psyched. ♥

#13, #23

[valkyriur.livejournal.com]

#13, Animorphs! I loved those books so much! I wish I hadn't fallen out of them, but they were getting so monotonous at one point.

#23, yes! If I actually see something I know is wrong, I get irritated. I can't watch shows with piano when they act like they're playing the piano and they aren't even near the proper keys (and that's just from listening to the piano for singing! 0.o).

[luna-kitsu-blu.livejournal.com]

Whyyyyyy is 11 even UP there? I don't see anything that makes that a secret >_>

[quaedam.livejournal.com]

6. DO IT. DOOOOO IIIIIIT. . .and if you're worried about wank, the internet is huge and anonymous and this is what socks are for

9. I believe I shipped Doctor/Master long before I even knew what slash *was*. (You give a guy a kinky name like that, even at the age I was when the old Who was on PBS, it gives a person ideas. ^^)

Re #6

[(Anonymous)]

It's tempting, very tempting. I hate sockpuppet accounts because I'm terrified I'll slip up and reveal my identity, and I really really hate the possibility of openly being at the centre of a real flamewar - I've accidentally started minor arguments before and I got really upset about it. But it's still sorely tempting.

I don't even really LIKE twincest all that much (I don't loathe it, I've seen one or two which were okay, but I don't specifically seek it out). It's just that comic in particular.

[aestivalis]

#13, you are tugging at the delicate strings of my heart here! Stop it!

But really, gosh. It was only a week or so ago that I was reminiscing this series with a friend (oh, haha, I wonder if that's you?), but we didn't go into anything near the detail you relayed here. And man, I-- I wanna reread 'em more than ever now!

Thank you~ ♥

[drivebywizard.livejournal.com]

2. How far have you read? There's like. No fanservice during their time on Namek the festival arc.

[taiga_ameca]

Maybe I'm off a bit, but that was sarcasm, right?

[zoom-gas.livejournal.com]

6. O LAWD IS DAT SUM RALPH HAYES???
I once kinda-intentionally pissed off a really popular webcomic artist
it was fucking hilarious. oohhh man.
7. hahahaha i love this secret.
11. This is worthy of a whole secret?
14. Not in that fandom but DAMMIT THANK YOU. This is relevant for EVERY FANDOM.
19. I know how that is :\
21. Yeah, thats a pretty big burden to be saddled with. But sometimes, in times of depression...there's little common sense, and telling people close to you sometimes does more harm than good. Take it for what it's worth. You helped someone.

[(Anonymous)]

21 thanks. no, i didn't think there was much sense invovled with her. i don't know if i did any good or not. i just wish she'd told someone who at least knew her name before the fact.

1, 13, 14

[sincere]

1. Word. I don't know why "real people" who are also online don't count as "real people". Would they be more real if we talked on the phone for two hours every day -- the way my sister does?

13. My most vivid thoughts on K.A. Applegate's series is that you could read the first book and then skip the next twenty pages of every other book, because the first twenty pages were exactly the same in every book. Virtually verbatim. My name is blah, this happened to me, this is blah, he's my blah, this is blah, I hate his guts, ETC.

14. SIGNED KTHNX.

13

[djtifabal.livejournal.com]

I think that's the only thing that drove me crazy about the series. "Hi, my name is blah. this is blah. etc. etc." It got a lot better as the books came out though. So, agreed? xD

[enjolras.livejournal.com]

7. LOL. I love those commercials. Though they make me want to have seizures sometimes.
11. HAHAHA. Are you serious? WTF. I love A Bug's Life anyway. <333
14. DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD: NO. JUST NO THANKS.
16. Me too. Short and sweet, yes.
17. I never realized that. But that makes me happy as well. ♥
24. Mary Sues don't bother me half as much as they used to. I think the spork communities are incredibly lame and a waste of time, even though I was in one a long time ago. It was a stage, mostly...
