[Picture is a screen-capture of the Japanese doll creator/fashion simulator/social website "Poupée Girl".]

I've got a secret. Once every month, I like to give away one super rare item for 10 ribbons because it makes me feel giddy. People rarely leave a thank you message to me when they buy those items, because (I suspect) they think I made a mistake with the pricing. But when they do, I'm happy beyond reason.

I'm not rich by poupee standards, since my wallet is well below 1000 ribbons, but my inventory is to die for.

[Picture is a screen-capture from the movie "The Sound of Music". A man, Captain von Trapp, is playing the guitar to his children in a living room. The man is sitting on a chair while the children listen sitting on the floor. An older woman, his fiancée "the Baroness", and a younger woman, the children's governess, Maria, look on from beyond. The Baroness is sitting down on a chair/couch and wearing pink clothes. Maria is leaning against a wall, wearing a blue dress and has brown hair. Captain von Trapp has short curly dark hair and is wearing dark clothing. They all have rosy pale skin.]

This is the only patriotic song that I like.

[Picture is Nodoka Haramura from the anime/manga "Saki". She has long light pink hair with red bows in it, pale skin and blue eyes. She is wearing a school uniform consisting of a white short-sleeved blouse with a blue collar, a red tie and a dark blue short skirt. She is a teenager of 15 years but has a childlike face. She, uh, has big breasts that stand out from her thin frame. She is holding a mouth to her school tie and looking at the viewer blushing. She appears to be standing on a dirt road somewhere with green plants.]

I have a hard time believing people like this series for the plot. Maybe I'm being too cynical, but I just can't fathom how Mahjong is a thing to make a manga centered around it.

[Picture is a screen-capture from the Japanese TV show "Akumu-chan" or "My Little Nightmare"? A woman and a man are sitting on a bed? close together, staring at each other. The woman has pale skin and dark hair reaching the bottom of her neck. She is wearing a loose long-sleeved white shirt and is holding a cup with one hand, while she has the other arm in a "crossed arms" position. The man has short curly dark hair and lightly tanned pale skin. He is wearing eyeglasses, a pink shirt and a dark sweater over that.]

I can't wait for the movie, but I don't care what the plot will be. I just want to see Ayami and Shiki in a proper romantic relationship this time around... or at least share one on-screen kiss.

[Picture is Doug Walker, "The Nostalgia Critic", internet reviewer and comedian. He is a man with rosy pale skin, short brown hair and wearing eyeglasses, a dark baseball cap, a white T-Shirt and a black suit blazer over it. He is smiling and holding his arms to the sides in a "isn't this ridiculous" type of expression.]

I've hated all his reviews since his return.

Secret because: Most fans seem to think they're better than his old stuff, and criticize old fans for hating change and for preferring "lots of stupid yelling and screaming".

[Picture is the cast of the TV/Internet show "Arrested Development". From left to right: G.O.B. (George Oscar Bluth), a man with light olive skin, short dark hair combed to the side wearing a dark suit and standing confidently with his arms apart, holding a deck of cards in one hand, with some flying loose. Next to him, Buster Bluth, a man with a balding head, pale skin, eyeglasses, a white purple sweater, dark blue shorts, tennis shoes and white and blue socks. He is standing straight with a hook instead of a hand half-raised up while he smiles with his mouth wide-open, almost mocking the viewer. Next to him, Maeby Fünke, a woman with wavy medium-length dark hair, light olive skin, a blue denim jacket, and tight wine-red pants while she scows at the viewer, with both hands raised and held together in front of her. Next to her, George Michael Bluth, a man with pale skin and fluffy short red-blond hair, wearing a dark blue polo shirt and khaki pants, he looks sort of calm and inoffensive. Next to him, Michael Bluth, a man with light olive skin wearing dark blue polo shirt and dark brown pants, while he has his arms crossed and looks between aghast and disappointed at the viewer. Next to him, Tobias Fünke, a balding man with light skin wearing eyeglasses, a red and white striped shirt, a brown jacket and brown pants while he presses a finger to his mouth and looks up thoughtfully. Next to him, Lucille Bluth, a woman with short brown hair almost reaching her skin, light olive skin and wearing a red suit jacket and skirt with a white and black dotted shirt, pantyhose and dark high-heeled shoes, standing confidently and twister her lower body to her side to the viewer with her upper body facing forwards, I think she is holding a wine glass. Next to her, George Bluth, a man with pale skin and balding white hair wearing a dark suit with a white shirt and a red tie while he extends his arms to the sides with the palms facing the viewer in a "I don't know what went wrong, don't ask me" expression. And finally, Lindsay Fünke, a woman with light olive skin, blonde hair either short or pulled back wearing a short-sleeved black dress reaching her thighs and dark high-heeled shoes, holding a cigarette between her fingers and making a sort of cocky curtsy at the viewer.]

I thought season 4 sucked.

Edited (Thanks, Othellia!) 2013-08-01 21:52 (UTC)

GOB, Buster, Michael, and Lindsay are siblings. Lucille and George are their parents. Lindsay is married to Tobias and Maeby is their daughter. George Michael is Michael's son.

(Thanks for identifying them and the relations info, Othellia!)

[Picture is Sherlock Holmes and John Watson from the TV show "Sherlock", Rory Willisams, The Doctor and Amy Pond from the TV show "Doctor Who", and Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester and Castiel from the TV show "Supernatural".]

As bad as the tumblr fandoms for the most popular stuff is (and as pervasive "flavour of the month" fandoms get), the reason I keep coming back is because it's the only place I can find fellow fans of certain not-as-popular/old shows.

[Picture is a screen-capture of the TV show "Catfish". It shows two men sitting on the front seats of a car. The passenger is a man with light skin and short dark blond hair wearing sunglasses a blue T-shirt and light blue pants with earphones hanging from his neck and a video camera on his lap. He is looking at the driver. The driver has olive skin, dark short hair and is wearing sunglasses, a black T-shirt and dark blue denim pants. He is looking at the road and driving with one hand while he gestures with the free hand and talks.]

The only reason I even watch this show is because I keep hoping they'll make out.

Secret because: Real Person Shipping is evil and obviously this makes me a bad person.

[Picture is a promotional picture of Sam, Dean and Castiel from the TV show "Supernatural". They're all men with light skin and short dark hair wearing dark clothing, standing dramatically under a sinister clouded sky.]

My best friend has been bugging me for years to watch this show. I finally did, fully expecting to become obsessed with Dean and Castiel after all she'd told me about them. Turns out Sam and Dean has become one of my all time One True Pairings, I really don't like Castiel, and actually prefer the earlier seasons before he showed up. Oops.

No way am I saying any of this to her considering how much she loves Dean and Castiel and hates Sam.

[Picture is Myka Bering and H.G. Wells from the TV show "Warehouse 13". They're both women with long dark hair and pale skin. One of them is wearing a dark T-shirt with a black leather jacket and dark blue pants. The other is wearing a white blouse and a light brown jacket and dark pants.]

The fans of this pairing are chasing me out of this fandom. It's not that I'm not a fan (I'm actually indifferent), but they're so obnoxious to other pairings that they're taking all the fun out of everything.

Secret because: Even hinting at this pairing not be the best pairing ever can get you jumped on.

[Picture is the logo of the comic superhero Superman overlaid the logo of the comic superhero Batman. Superman's logo is a red giant letter "S" inside the red outline of a diamond, while Batman's logo is the stylized black silhouette of a bat with its wings outstretched.]

I am NOT looking forward to this, and I don't think I want there to be a Justice League film either. Partially because DC's track record hasn't been very good so far, and partially because I don't want the migratory slash fandom to latch onto Superman/Batman as the shiny new tumblr trend, and then assimilate the Justice League into their Superwhoavengermerlinhanniballock borg hivemind.

[Picture is a person cosplaying the enemy non-player character "Pyramid Head" from the "Silent Hill" videogames. "Pyramid Head" is a sort of pale-skinned, thin but muscular human-looking creature, possibly male, with a giant four-faced rusted pyramid as a head, wearing a trailing blood-stained robe or skirt of sorts and dragging a humongous knife. The cosplayer is walking through a forest or park type of area.]

When I'm at a con, I have a weird reaction to people in cosplay that completely obscures the face. It's hard to explain but it seems like my subconscious doesn't recognize them as people, and I have to remind myself that they can see and hear me and I should talk to them like everyone else. I've probably come off as really creepy to the few that I've talked to.

[Picture is the headshots of Makoto Tachibana, Haruka Nanase and Rin Matsuoka from the anime "Free! - Iwatobi Swim Club". Makoto is a young man with pale skin, short dark blond hair and green eyes, he looks kind and good-natured. Haruka is a young man with short dark hair, pale skin and blue eyes, he looks serious. Rin is a young man with pale skin, short red-magenta hair and red eyes, he is smirking confidently.]

Not secret: I'm always shipping the Best Friends Forever.

Secret: Except for this damn show.

Between these three, Haru/Mako is the most popular behind Haru/Rin, the "rivals" and I'm over here... shipping Mako/Rin like a loser. [crying sad face emoticon]

[Picture is the drawing of a dinosaur with a shining golden halo, wearing white robes and extending its arms in a signal of peace and benevolence.]

I'm still not sure what to make of the new Jurassic Park movie. On one hand the "fully operational park" setting sounds pretty good (compared to the mutant soldiers rumor), but on the other hand, chances are it will turn out to be a flop. Even if that's the case, as long as it spawns a sequel for Operation Genesis I think it will be worth their effort.

[Picture is musician Patrick Stump. He is a young man with short layered brown hair, pale skin and hazel eyes. He is wearing a white shirt, a dark blue-green tie and a dark blazer.]

While I love his work with Fall Out Boy (Save Rock n' Roll is a really good album and my favorite from them), I think his solo music is ten times better and I wish he produced more music in that period. Also he is super pretty and an amazing singer.

[Picture is various screen-captures of Severus Snape and Gilderoy Lockhart from the "Harry Potter" movies. Severus Snape is a man with dark hair reaching his chin, pale skin and wrinkles wearing dark clothing. He looks like a serious man. Gilderoy Lockhart is a man with pale skin and short wavy blond hair wearing borderline flamboyant suits. He looks happy and flirty. There are pictures of pink hearts over the picture.]

Snape/Lockhart is my Harry Potter One True Pairing forever.

[Picture is Del Spooner and Sonny from the movie "I, Robot". Spooner is a man with short dark hair and dark skin wearing dark clothing. Sonny is a humanoid robot with shiny light gray and black finishes.]

I ship it. Too bad there's only like 5 fics.
