Ask embarrassing questions about your fandom here!

This is the thread where you can go anon and ask questions that you're too embarrassed to ask non-anon about the work(s) you're in the fandom for.

A plot twist that everyone else seems to get but you just can't understand? A bit of backstory you can't remember but is really crucial? A line everyone laughs at or gushes over but you just don't get? A character/location/species/object/event who's name you can't remember and just can't find? A reference that people are always making that leaves you in the dark? Kind fellow fans will clue you in without making you self-conscious!

I can't think of a question at the moment, but I wanted to say if you're always the same anon who creates the daily question threads, you're really cool, and thanks for creating cool discussions :)

ayrt

Sorry, I'm not sure what you're referring to! :) Can you give me an example of one of these threads so I know if I created it or not?

Like "what's your favorite obscure pairing" and "what questions do you have for people from other countries." It seems like there's something like that just about every day, and I figured they might be by different people but they're often worded similarly.

I don't want to get into A:tLA fandom, I just wanna know some stuff about it:

1. Is Toph/Zuko a popular ship (or a ship at all)?

2. How does anyone know that Zuko had a daughter?

3. Is the artbook worth buying?

1. I haven't seen much of it on tumblr or deviantart.
2. Beats me.
3. It's gorgeous. If you are a big fan or the show or just of animation, I'd buy it.

1. Not as hot as Toph/Azula. One of the creators said Azula was the father of Toph's kid (not very seriously, but shit's fanon now. SEXY FANON)

2. The online reasources on Nick.com say so. The avatar website always gives tidbits that dont' make it into the show. Did it in the original series too.

3. Yes. But that's kinda subjective? I like it and it's pretty damn good.

2) There was some kind of online flash game thingy while Korra was airing that released some additional content. I didn't play it but I saw some screenshots - that's how people got Aang and Katara's family tree, the names of all their kids, etc., and that's how people found out that Zuko is still alive and his daughter is the Fire Lord. :)

1. I checked ff.net and it showed about 360-ish fics about Toph and Zuko under the romance genre, so it's definitely a thing. Dunno if it's a popular thing, but a thing nonetheless.

2. I think people learned about in this game:

If not, I don't know where it first came up.

3. Haven't bought it.

WHO THE FUCK IS GOSSIP GIRL?

I don't know either, but I'm sure the writers will fuck that up like they've done most of the seasons it's been on the air.

I'm pretty sure this isn't explicitly mentioned in the film, but I'm curious (for reasons) and I'm way out of the fandom: is there a general consensus among X-Men: First Class writers and/or readers on where Alex Summers is from? Or at the least where the prison Charles and Erik get him out of is? I've been doing some research into the character as described in the comic books, but I don't know how much of that's been adopted, fanon wise, for the film.

So yeah. Any ideas?

I heard New York, because the numbering system on his cell door is very similar to those of several New York prisons. I'm not sure about other opinions but--all things considered--I'm willing to accept that.

Hmm. Totally not what I was expecting, but that is helpful. Thanks!

TEEN WOLF: (SPOILERS FOR THE END OF SEASON 2!!!)


Okay, so how does Sheriff Stilinski not know that something is going on?

In 2.10 he sees that Scott has been shot in the stomach. That's not a wound people generally heal from quickly.

And then in 2.11 he sees Scott playing lacrosse, a contact sport. How can he not know?!

Re: Ask embarrassing questions about your fandom here!

I don't recall 100%, but when Scott is shot, aren't he and Matt in an office, whereas the sheriff's in a cell, so he only HEARS the bullet go off? It's Melissa who sees Scott get shot, heal, and become a werewolf, iirc.

How popular is the whole Transformers having metal dicks and vaginas (and does it have a name so I can figure out a way to avoid it?) in the fandom?

Re: Ask embarrassing questions about your fandom here!

It's called sticky and it's pretty damn popular. Other forms of sex are plug and play (using cables), tactile (electromagnetic fields, touching, stuff like that), and sparksex (pretty obv.)

Sticky is really prevalent though, but most people label fics with sticky on it so avoiding it shouldn't be too hard.

The Walking Dead - I cannot for the life of me figure out how long they were on the Greene farm or keep the timeline of season 2 straight in my head.

It was a ridiculously short amount of time, I think. Like two weeks to a month.

Okay I've only seen random episodes of 24 but something has been bothering me. Each episode is supposed to be a day right? How did they have three presidents? Did I miss a time-skip or something?

Re: Ask embarrassing questions about your fandom here!

(Anonymous) 2012-09-18 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I've never seen any episodes of 24, but each season was a single day, with each episode being an hour of that day in real-time. And I believe there were time-skips between seasons, yeah.

Pretty Little Liars: Who the hell is "A"? My sister watches it, and it's all she ever talks about. And why didn't these girls go to the police in the first place when their friend died?
