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?

And Tahno is also overrated. He got like, five minutes of screen time. What? How does he have so many fangirls?

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)This popped up on my Tumblr dash a bit ago, coincidentally enough, maybe it explains Tahno's popularity:

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)no seriously
Tahno is awesome because he's a douchebag the story acknowledged was a douchebag. Then he clearly became less of a douchebag, but still a smartass and a coward. Acceptable weaknesses
but most importantly, self confidence/smugness is attractive as FUCKYES

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)I adore Bolin but that's because I see a lot of my husband in him, including in physical appearance, so I can't not see him as awesome. =p
I love Tahno's character because I like sleezebaggy characters because they are SLEEZEBAGS. I love it. I love that he's a cheaterous asshole who got what he deserved. I love how they showed him afterwards, and I do wish he'd get more screen time because I think his character arch could be interesting, if they gave him one. But I don't think he's like...an awesome person. His character is just a lot of fun, for me.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)This. I love dickish characters. Not because I don't think they're dicks (they are) and not because I want to "fix them" (I don't). I like them because they're dicks and that makes them FUN.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)So you'd rather have his characterization be inconsistent than have fans like him? Bolin is written as a pretty flat character, but from what we've seen of his personality, he seems to be a sweet kid - immature and naive, yes, but he means well.
And Tahno is also overrated. He got like, five minutes of screen time. What? How does he have so many fangirls?
He's an Ensemble Darkhorse. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EnsembleDarkhorse) Also, the Avatar/LoK fandom has a tendency of loving/giving attention to characters with limited screen time (e.g., Foaming Mouth Guy, Feathered Hat Man, Howl, etc.).

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)I gave up on it after the creators basically loled at the idea of any sort of accountability or real development in romance though.
