[ Anon Meme ]

F!S Anon Meme (the Seventh, and now on DW!)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff.

Unpopular Ships
Obligatory Masturbation Thread
Fandoms you wish existed
How old are you?
What series have you always meant to watch/read/play/etc. but have never?
Time and location
Female-centric works
How do you feel about Tumblr?
Pet thread
Guilty pleasure thread
Favorite old shows
First fandom?

I would be more inclined to watch Teen Wolf if my friends didn't keep telling me how it was so much better than Vampire Diaries and how I'd forget all about TVD if I just gave it a shot. I like my stupid vampires, damnit! I'm not looking for a show to replace it (even if they did kill my favourite character, it's cool, I have others).

The show's probably pretty good, but the fandom have put me right off.

(NGL, when a review in a film magazine last week compared the two and said TVD was the superior show, I felt a moment of HAHA SUCK IT.)

I'm really only watching Teen Wolf because my bf is a fan and I'm always in the room when he watches it. It's... okay. But most of it is just way too much Pretty White People Problems and I cannot make myself give a shit. Lydia is the only interesting character on there and I can't tell if the show wants me to like her or hate her half the time.

Wait...you don't like Teen Wolf because it's about pretty white people problems? Have you watched TVD? I did and I wonder did we watch the same show?

I seem to remember TVD being nothing, but pretty white people with problems. Oh and the black girl who has to save their asses with her powers, frequently at some personal expense. To her.

da

That anon didn't say anything about watching TVD. That was the OP.

I do agree with the sentiment though. Isn't the main character in TW not white too? There's definitely a lack of main poc of course, but having THE main being hispanic was a bonus for me.

Who was your favorite character (that they killed off)?

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Alaric. Unpopular opinion apparently, but I like the human element.

Oh, I'm so glad you said that -- I was gutted when they killed him off. Really wish they hadn't; I could think of one or two other characters that I wouldn't miss at all, but instead they had to get rid of one of my favorites.

Oh same! But Matt's got a new show, so hopefully that'll do well for him. Or not, then he can come back. I'm torn tbh.

It's all over my dash. I tried to get into it, but there is so much topless boy, topless boy, subtext, HERE HAVE MORE TOPLESS BOY AND BOY TROUBLES BOY BOY BOY

that I just can't.

I get so much secondhand embarrassment from this show and cannot stand it.

and I like(d) werewolves
