[Picture is four screen-captures of the TV show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" (US version). It shows the cast of the show joking and horsing around for the sketches. They are Drew Carey, a man with light skin, short brown hair and eyeglasses wearing a black suit, a man with with dark skin and wearing a red shirt and black pants in two pictures and a long-sleeved blue shirt in another; a man with like skin and a slightly balding head with short brown hair, wearing a Hawaiian blue shirt in one screen-capture, a long-sleeved shirt in another, a blue shirt in another and an orange Hawaiian shirt in the last, a man with short curly brown hair and light skin wearing a green shirt and brown pants in one picture, a green polo shirt and khaki pants in another and an orange tartan shirt and green pants for another. Finally is a man with short spiky brown hair and eyeglasses with light skin. He is wearing black pants and a black vest over a yellow shirt in one picture, and dark pants and a white shirt in another picture.]

I was excited for the show to return but I can't watch it without Drew.

Secret because: Everyone else seems to have no problem and I don't want to admit that I'm the only one not watching.

[Picture is Hannibal Lecter from the TV show "Hannibal". He is a man with lightly tanned skin and short dark brown hair. He is wearing a blue shirt, a brown tie and a gray suit. He is looking upwards, with a light shining down on him. He is somewhere indoors.]

I see his face on Tumblr every single day, and every time I pause and stare and think about how very attractive he is... But I still haven't bothered to watch past the first episode of Hannibal. I keep thinking I might, but it just didn't really grab me! But I want to be able to be a fan of his because mmm...

[Picture is a drawing of Albert Wesker from the videogame series "Resident Evil". He is a man with light skin and short blond hair combed back. He is wearing dark sunglasses, fingerless black gloves, a dark vest and a purple-blue short-sleeved shirt. He is pointing with his index and middle fingers at something, looking commanding.]

I want a Resident Evil prequel set around STARS when they were still a team.

[Picture is the cover of the single song "Silly Love Songs", a song written by Paul and Linda McCartney and performed by the musical group "Wings" or "Paul McCartney and Wings". It has the image of a "W" letter with wings on the ends.]

I love this song. yes, it's a thick slab of seventies cheese, but I love it without irony. Because it's the shiniest, happiest "fuck you" in the history of recorded music.

[Picture is the FBI special agent Francis York Morgan from the videogame "Deadly Premonition". He is a man with pale olive skin and curly dark hair cut very very short. He has light eyes, possibly green. He is wearing a gray suit with a light shirt and a red tie. He is holding up a clear plastic evidence bag, with some red objects inside it, sort of like seeds or something?]

I liked Deadly Premonition. And not in the "so bad it's good" way that most fans seem to like it for. I genuinely thought it was a compelling, charming and all-around decent game. And far more fun than most triple-A titles.

[Picture is Spike Spiegel from the anime "Cowboy Bebop". He is a man with light olive skin and short, fluffy dark hair with sideburns. He is wearing a yellow shirt, a loose dark tie and a dark suit jacket. He is looking sideways seriously and smoking a cigarette. He is leaning against a red brick wall.]

I can't stand smoking in real life. But I think fictional characters who smoke are extremely sexy. What the fuck, self?!

[Picture is Fonzie from the TV show "Happy Days". He is a man with rosy light skin and short dark brown hair parted on the side and neatly gelled. He is smiling and wearing a white T-shirt with a dark brown leather jacket over that. It seems he is giving the viewer the thumbs up. There is a wooden wall behind him.]

I thought Fonzie was a sexist douche.

[Picture is an image of a switch that says: "Jacobs Engine Brake", with the options "Hi" and "Off". The switch is currently "Hi". To the side is an image of a big cargo transport truck. It is blue, red and gray, with flames painted all over it.]

I live close to a main freeway. I love hearing trucks jaking because I imagine Optimus driving by to save the world. "Jaking" is trucker lingo for using the jake brakes. Those who do not know what sound I mean, this video has it:

(Not my video for your information).

Secret because: Who admits silly stuff like this to their in real life friends?

[Picture is the actors Ernie Hudson, Laura Linney and Dylan Walsh playing Captain Munro Kelly, Karen Ross and Dr. Peter Elliott in the 1995 movie "Congo". Munro Kelly is a man with dark skin and short curly black hair. He has a thin mustache and is wearing a short-sleeved white shirt. Karen Ross is a woman who has pale skin and long brown hair pulled back and is wearing a white blouse and a light khaki jacket. Peter Elliott is a man with light olive skin, short wavy dark hair and wearing a dark grayish blue T-shirt. They are standing one after the other in a jungle, looking at something off-screen.]

It doesn't matter how many times I watch Congo, I'm always disappointed that these two didn't get together in the end.

Bonus secret: I thought Congo was a great movie.

[Picture is Vegeta, Bulma and baby Tonks from the anime "Dragon Ball Z", Usagi Tsukino/Serena Tsukino and Mamoru Chiba/Darien Shields from the anime "Sailor Moon", Simba and Nala from the animated movie "The Lion King", The Joker and Harley Quinn from the animated series "Batman", Satoshi/Ash Ketchum and Kasumi/Misty from the anime "Pokémon", Squall and Rinoa from the videogame "Final Fantasy VIII", Arnold and Helga Pataki from the cartoon "Hey, Arnold!" and Pocahontas and John Smith from the animated movie "Pocahontas".]

No matter how many new fandoms I get involved with, or how many new ships I start shipping, or how many new fanfics I write, or how many new characters I get a crush on...

...The ships from my childhood will always mean so much more to me.

[Picture is Spencer Smith from the musical group "Panic! At The Disco". He is a man with light skin and short brown hair wearing a short-sleeved white shirt and a black vest drumming on-stage.]

I just want him to be okay. I realized when he left tour I was worried for him and maybe that's too invested in a drummer I've never met but I don't care.

[Picture is the poster from the movie "The Lone Ranger". It shows a man wearing a stuffed bird as a hat, white and black facial paint and various skins and leather, walking next to a man with light olive skin, wearing a white hat, a black eye mask and a dark grayish blue suit. They are walking through the desert next to a man wearing a wild west bandit sort of suit, a red-headed, pale-skinned woman wearing an extravagant red and black hair and headdress and a train to the side carrying a white horse rearing back.]

From the stills and the plot synopsis I thought this sounded like a parody. (The Lone Ranger is a lawyer? Who literally comes back from the dead?) (Cannibalism?) (A freakin' bird on his head?)

Maybe they should have gone that way. It might have been a better movie.

warning for talk of gender identity in fiction (for whomever that might be a triggery subject)

[Picture is Zoë Hanji/Hange and Levi/Rivai/Rivaille from the anime "Shingeki no Kyojin" or "Attack on Titan". Zoe is a young woman with light skin and long pinkish purple hair pulled into a ponytail, wearing eyeglasses. Levi is a young man with light skin and short, straight dark hair. They are both wearing a sort of military uniform, consisting of a white shirt, a short brown jacket, white pants/trousers, reddish brown boots and an elaborate system of harnesses all over their bodies. Zoe is smiling and making a "V" peace sign with her hand next to her forehead, while she slings her other arm around Levi. Levi is frowning and looking to the side, while crossing his arms in front of his chest.]

I can't stand the way that every slightly 'masculine' woman, or one who shows the slightest hint of genderfluid interests or personality is automatically headcanoned to be trans*.

It feels like a serious erasure of the uncountable numbers of us who exist.

[Picture is a faded cropped section of the cover of the videogame "Bioshock: Infinite". It shows a man with light skin and short brown hair and a woman with light skin and short brown hair reaching her chin being all dramatic/action heroes like.]

I thought Bioshock Infinite was... okay. Not amazing, not great. Just... a decent game.

Secret because: Everybody seems to see it as some sort of incredible, amazing, generation-defining experience and a game that other games should strive to be. And I just can't see that. I thought the story was good and the world was pretty. But that's about it. I wasn't wow-ed like everyone else who played it seems to be.

Bonus secret: I'm not remotely excited for Burial at Sea.

The images on the "Broken Links" section of the fail!bar will be posted in tomorrow's post; I'll transcribe them then.
