[Picture is Will Graham from the TV show "Hannibal". He is a man with pale skin and way brown hair wearing eyeglasses and a gray suit. He's sitting down somewhere indoors.]

Friends keep telling me I'd like Hannibal. But Will (especially when he wears glasses) looks a lot like my estranged brother. It makes it too weird for me to watch.

Secret because: of all possible issues with Hannibal, this is the one I can't handle?

[Picture is a plastic doll from the internet show "The Most Popular Girls in School". She has light skin, blonde hair tied up and is wearing a sparkly silver dress.]

Deandra helped me get over my fear of pooping in public restrooms. Since I've made some dietary changes that cause me to be more regular, this has become pretty important.

[Picture is the logo of the podcast "Welcome to Night Vale". It's a town during night, with a water tower, an electricity pole and a barn or house with an antenna over it. The crescent moon overlooks it from a purple sky. The moon looks as it's part of a sinister eye.]

In the past couple days, Welcome to Night Vale tumblr fans have been reblogging posts about it written by an old friend of mine that I no longer talk to. A few months ago, when it became clear she no longer wanted anything to do with me, I deleted my old tumblr and made a new account to avoid her.

Now I'm kind of afraid to participate in this fandom at all, because she was my best friend for almost a decade and I'm sure she'd recognize me by my blog if she ever saw it.

[Picture is Gerard Way and Frank Iero from the musical group "My Chemical Romance". Gerard Way has pale skin and medium-length dark hair dyed bright red. He is wearing sleeveless black gloves and a dark blue shiny vest and has his hand outstretched to the camera. Frank Iero has pale skin and medium-length dark hair. He is wearing a black and yellow jacket over a dark shirt.]

I don't actually care that they're not a couple but I'd be really sad if they weren't Best Friends Forever.

[Picture is Jun Matsumoto from the Japanese idol group "Arashi". He is wearing a popped popcorn shaped hat with his face bare and he is wearing a theater employee uniform: a white and red vertical striped vest over a white shirt, with a red bow below his neck. He looks surprised. He has pale skin and brown hair.]

I genuinely love "We Wanna Funk, We Need a Funk." But I still can't play it out loud.

[Picture is a black and white photograph of the musicians Mick Jagger and Keith Richards from the musical group "The Rolling Stones". They both have pale skin and short shaggy hair. Both are wearing suit jackets. Fandom is marked as the "Macdonald Hall"/"Bruno and Boots" book series.]

I don't care they're not Canadians. I always picture Bruno and Boots like them.

(This note is by alinora from dreamwidth.)

The book title is This Can't Be Happening at Macdonald Hall by Gordon Korman. Bruno and Boots are the two main characters.

[Picture is Philip, Duke of Crowborough from the TV show "Downton Abbey". He has pale skin and neatly combed short brown hair. He is wearing a black suit with a white shirt and bow. There is a lit candle in the foreground of the picture.]

He was probably the worst of all Lady Mary's suitors. I still think they had the most chemistry. (For your information, not counting Pamuk as a suitor because he didn't officially court her.)

[Picture is Agent Six and Rex Salazar from the cartoon series "Generator Rex". Agent Six is a man with pale skin and slightly receding short dark hair. He has a small patch of hair beneath his lower lip, is wearing dark sunglasses and a dark green suit. Rex is a teenager with lightly tanned skin, short dark hair gelled upwards, brown goggles with amber lenses and is wearing a red jacket over a blue T-shirt.]

I really wish we had gotten more closure with the series finale. Did Six ever get his memories back? Did he and Holiday ever get together? What happened to Rex's old gang? I feel disappointed.

Secret because: Nobody cares anymore.

[Picture is Neil Oliver, a Scottish television presenter and author, best known from the BBC documentary series "A History of Scotland" and "Coast". He has long dark hair and very lightly tanned pale skin. He is wearing a brown shirt and a brown blazer over it, and light brown pants/trousers. He is standing with his hands on his hips, with a castle on a cliff on the background.]

I'm too embarrassed to tell people the real reason for why I know so much about Scotland, the Vikings, the British coastline and the history of Ancient Britain, but this man has expanded my... horizons. Yes, that's it. My horizons.

[Picture is Spock and James Kirk from the new "Star Trek" films. Spock has very neatly cut and brushed short dark hair and pale skin. He has pointy ears and is wearing dark clothing. Kirk has lightly tanned pale skin and short brown hair. He is also wearing dark clothing. One of them seems to be holding a gun.]

I thought I shipped it but reading the fanfictions made me realize that I find them more believable and in character as friends than as lovers. They're my Bro One True Pairing now (but I still tag their posts with the space husbands tag).

[Picture is Dr. Beverly Crusher and Captain Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Beverly has pale skin and curly red hair, and is wearing a black hat with a thin netted veil covering her face. She is wearing a collar of pearls and a pink blouse or dress. Picard has lightly tanned skin and very short brown hair. He is wearing a dark gray hat and a brown and gray suit.]

For over a decade of being a fan, I only ever shipped them in a casual, low-key way. However, in my last rewatch, for shits and giggles, I decided to keep note of their relationship episode-to-episode and pretended I was a batshit obsessive Zutaranesque shipper, complete with imaginary rants, flamewars, and demonization of other love interests. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN.

Zutara: Portmanteau of Zuko and Katara, characters from the cartoon show "Avatar: The Last Airbender"/"Avatar: The Legend of Aang". Some of the shippers of the pairing were fairly vocal and very passionate to the point of antagonization, earning that subset of the fandom a bad name.

[Picture is Elijah Mikaelson and Bonnie Bennett from the TV show "The Vampire Diaries". Elijah has light skin and short dark hair. He is wearing a light blue shirt and a dark suit jacket over it. Bonnie has slightly dark skin and long wavy dark hair. She is wearing a brown blouse with a low neckline and a dark sweater over it. She has her eyes closed and is holding an open old book in her hands.]

I didn't think he (or anyone other than Damon) owes her any apology for what happened to her mother. Bonnie and her mother knowingly and willingly agreed to kill him and his brothers and sisters. If they'd succeeded, I don't think Bonnie would have even felt too upset that Caroline or any of the others would have died.

Not secret: I really think Bonnie could be a fantastic character if it weren't for JP's horrible racism.

Edited (thanks to the anons who corrected me!) 2013-07-25 03:41 (UTC)

JP is presumably Julie Plec, co-creator of the TV show.

[Picture is a drawing of a woman with pale skin and long dark brown hair, brown eyes and a fox tail who is inside a bucket. She appears to be on the verge of tears. An anonymous source identifies the reviewer(s?) from the secret as "The DesuDes Brigade".]

Couldn't find a better picture. Hooray for Microsoft Paint!

Words cannot describe how much I miss this lady's reviews. She had a truly unique style that I found funny and intelligent. Plus, she reviewed anime not much other people would touch with a ten-foot pole. The only videos she left up are an awesome Phoenix Wright fandub that I don't think is being updated anymore, and other associated tidbits. That itself is fine, and I respect her decision to focus on her future, so I would never ask for her to put her old videos back up or anything. I just miss her and wanted to whine, I guess. [crying sad face emoticon]

Sorry again for awful quality...
