[Picture is the cast from the TV show "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia". They are four men and a woman all wearing yellow clothing and smiling while posing together. One of the men is holding a gray cat who is also wearing yellow boots. The men all have short dark hair, except for a bald man with glasses in front, and the woman has long blonde hair. They all have light skin.]

I feel like a jerk for not being interested in 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' before I saw Charlie Day in 'Pacific Rim'. Now I'm loving It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia more than I thought I would (and loving the entire cast, not just Charlie), and I feel like a fake fan who only became interested after seeing a cute guy. I hate telling people that the reason I started watching is because Charlie Day was so adorable in 'Pacific Rim'.

[Picture is Detective Mac Taylor and Gina Mitchum from the TV show "Crime Scene Investigation: New York". They are standing inside a house, with Gina on the foreground. She is a woman with light olive skin and long blonde hair half pulled back, wearing a white turtle neck sweater and a dark blueish green coat. Mac is standing on the background, out of focus. He has slightly tanned olive skin and short dark hair. He is wearing a dark suit.]

She's the only deaf character I've ever seen who had her own agency and wasn't completely dependent on someone else.

Secret because apparently asking for any kind of representation makes you a Social Justice Warrior.

Bonus secret: I rarely watch movies because I don't trust subtitle download sites.

[Picture is the actor Matthew Macfadyen playing Mr. Darcy from the 2005 film "Pride & Prejudice". He is a man with either short dark hair or long dark hair pulled back in a ponytail. He has light skin, is wearing a white shirt, brown pants or trousers and a dark gray coat. He is standing on a field, looking forlorn.]

I feel like a traitor for preferring this Darcy over Colin Firth.

Secret Because: I more or less grew up on the nineties BBC version.

[Picture is Milo Dunstan and Liam Schwartz from the webcomic "Tripping Over You". Milo has medium dark olive skin and wavy reddish brown hair. Liam has pale skin, freckles and straight dark brown hair nearly reaching his jaw. They are both young thin men. Liam is shirtless and sitting on Milo's legs whole the two are on a bed. He is saying "Hold on-" and looking to the side, while Milo is kissing his cheek and embracing him.]

I am enjoying the hell out of this webcomic. But I'm secretly disappointed they're going here.

[Picture is the protagonists of the upcoming TV show "Almost Human". They are two men Captain Maldonado and John Kennex. John is actually an android. Captain Maldonado has light skin and short dark hair and is wearing a gray jacket, while John Kennex has mild dark skin, very short curly hair and is wearing a gray T-shirt and a dark gray jacket. The two of them are on a blurred street, looking seriously at each other.]

So copying I Robot. I still can't wait for this!!

[Picture is marked as being from the TV show "Orange is the New Black". A security guard is holding the wrist of a woman and pointing a finger at her face. The woman looks defiant. The security guard is a man with pale olive skin and very short dark hair, wearing a blue uniform shirt with the flag of the United States of America on the shoulder, and carrying a radio with him. The woman has long dark brown hair with a few locks of hair dyed blonde. She is wearing a light grayish green shirt and has olive skin. They are standing in front of a low wall separating the room, with barred windows on the other side.]

I started watching this show because there are lots of female characters and femslash. I love those things about it but...

I'm the most invested in these two. I'm going to be the only one writing het in this fandom.

[Picture is the actress Molly Quin playing Alexis Castle from the ABC TV show "Castle". She is a young woman with pale skin and long orange-red hair. She has blue eyes and is wearing a dark jacket or sweater.]

Caskett shippers' hatred of her and the character she plays is the biggest reason why I left the fandom and just watch the show on my own.

It's gross how they bash her (and anyone) for having her own reading of the show, the ship, and her character. It's also horrible how they act, like she's just someone to be replaced by a non-existent Caskett baby because that's OBVIOUSLY the only way Caskett could ever be happy together, since Alexis isn't someone Castle would do anything for or someone who looks up to Beckett and seeks out her advice.

[Picture is the videoblogger VSauce. He is a man with slightly receding short dark hair, a short mustache and beard, blue eyes, light skin and eyeglasses. He is wearing a dark brown T-Shirt.

After watching this dude's video on why things are creepy, I was so freaked out I slept with my parents for three days. And I'm 188.

[Picture is Sherlock Hound and Doctor Watson from the anime "Sherlock Hound". They're anthropomorphic cartoon dogs. Sherlock has pointy ears, reddish fur and a light brown muzzle, and is wearing a red detective cap, a light brown coat and a pipe between his lips. Watson is a shorter dog with pointy ears, dark gray fur and a voluminous reddish mustache covering his mouth. He is wearing a light blue bowl hat with a yellow band, a yellow bow tie and a purple coat. They are standing on a street, in front of a stone building during sunset or sunrise.]

This will always be my JohnLock of choice. They have far more genuine care for each other than the BBC version.

Secret Because: ... FURRY.

[Picture is marked as being of the fandom "The Leviathan Series". It is a remarkably well-done illustration of a world map were a man wearing a gray top hat and a dark suit carrying a huge ribbon with the word "Churchill" written on it, is riding the shoulder of a sort of thin rat creature standing on its rear legs, with a ribbon saying "Britain" around its feet. It is wearing a hard hat, and has huge tusks like a boar, a rat's head where its right shoulder should be (incidentally where the suited man is sitting atop of), and that mouth has erupted a rat's arm. It's knees also look like muzzles with eyes and all, and there are snakes coming out of its tail and back. The rat has a red cross with white edges painted over its main face, with a black eye patch on its left egg with a skull and cross bones on it, like a pirate flag, and is carrying a ship in its left hand, which has the flag of Turkey on it, and in its right hand is holding a burlap bag with the Pound sign painted on it. On the other side, a bear like creature with a ribbon saying "Russia" is wearing a Russian hat and various medals and shoulder-parts of a military uniform. It is snarling at the rat. The map they are standing on is rounded like the curvature of the Earth, and we can see marked The Ottoman Empire, the Black Sea, Istanbul, Marmara Sea, Gallipoli, Dardanelles? and showing some buildings on the cities, railroads, ships, and some white flags bearing red crosses with the British flag on one quarter on some places. It looks like an alternate universe version of a war map showing the intersection of Europe, Asia and Africa. Above the picture is a ribbon with the words "Wer Wird Uns Gegen Dieses Ungeheuer Schützen?" and below "Krieg Ist Die Lösung 1914", with the Coat of arms of Germany, an eagle with its wings outstretched and looking to the side, in the middle.]

I wish the book illustrator would have drawn some Darwinist propaganda. Just think of what they would have looked like! (By the way, this is Clanker prop.)

From Wikipedia:

Leviathan is a steampunk novel written by Scott Westerfeld and illustrated by Keith Thompson. It was released on October 6, 2009.

First of a young adult fiction trilogy set in alternative version of World War I, it has German Central Powers (Clankers) using mechanized war machines opposed by British Entente Powers (Darwinists) who fabricate living creatures genetically. The heroes are teens Aleksander, son of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and Deryn, Scottish girl with dreams of joining the British Air Service with her brother. The sequels are Behemoth and Goliath.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leviathan_%28Westerfeld_novel%29

Google translate says the phrases are:

"Who will protect us against this monster?"

and

"War is the solution 1914"

[Picture is marked as being of the fandom "Welcome to Night Vale". It's a microphone, the kind they use in radio stations.]

I've started reading news articles that make me angry in Cecil's voice. It makes everything seem like a bizarre alternate universe instead of my infuriating locale.

[Picture is a close-up of the face of the actress Gina Torres. She is a woman with long curly dark hair, dark olive skin, wearing makeup around her eyes and painted red lips. She is smiling.]

Not secret: I am still upset at the decision not to make a Wonder Woman movie.

Secret: Even if they did make one I feel I would be disappointed if they didn't cast HER as Wonder Woman.

Secret because: They would probably cast some twenty-something year old lily white girl who looks as though a strong wind could knock her over.

Bonus secret: I would probably still see it.
