Current Secret Submissions Post: here.
Suggestions, comments, and concerns should go here.

Transcripts!
Secret 1 - Japanese Historial Dramas
I watch historical dramas for the costume porn.
Secret 2 - Fuuma no Koujirou
They were the "villains". But oh, I wanted them to win so badly! ...Or, at the very least, make it out alive. Together.
Secret 3 - Teen Wolf, Star Trek Next Generation
While reading a discussion about overzealous shippers I misread "Teen Wolf" as "Teen Worf" and was very confused for a moment.
Secret 4 - Pacific Rim, Fandom!Secrets
I wanted to see it at first, but Fandom Secrets made me lose interest. It's probably gonna be one of those things I eventually see at a friend's house when there's nothing else to do. Sorry. Have a bonus Wooper.
Secret 5 - Published writing, general fandom
I'm currently writing a book series that I hope to get published some day. The only problem is, I know that it will probably never get published or, if it does, it will never have a fandom because the main love interests are both male.
I know that if I make one of the love interests female, I could potentially have a popular adventure/fantasy series on my hands. But I just can't make the change, because it wouldn't feel right for my characters.
Let's face it, homosexual book series rarely (never?) make it into the mainstream and this really upsets me. I feel my series will never have a fandom or any sort of popularity because the mainstream audience doesn't want to read stories about two guys who just so happen to be in love with each other. [sad face emoticon]
Secret 6 - Winnie The Pooh
I shipped them before I even knew what shipping was.
It's sad that homosexuality is still such a taboo topic, even in the twenty-first century. I don't think kids really give a crap what gender two lovers are. My six year old self always figured: Tigger loves Rabbit, and Rabbit obviously loves Tigger (though he didn't like to show it) so what was the problem? Why weren't they kissing already?!
Secret 7 - Severed (comic), Squee (comic)
The Salesman from Image's Severed miniseries reminded me a little of Squee's Granpa Hatey.
Secret 8 - Final Fantasy VII vs Compilation
I hate how Aerith is portrayed ever since the Final Fantasy VII Compilation.
One of the reasons I loved her in the original Final Fantasy VII is because she was such a sassy, headstrong and confident character. It's a shame those character traits have been replaced with the "generic nice/innocent/angelic girl" trope.
Secret 9 - Pitch Perfect
The only good part of an otherwise shitty movie. I love this song so much. Secret because everyone LOVES this movie...
Notes
Secret 10 - Disney Fairies
I dislike eighty percent of Disney movies, toylines and merch. I hate Disney's Peter Pan... BUT I LOVE THIS. It's so well written and funny and doesn't talk down to kids. I want everyone to know that Disney Fairies are amazing! I just wish I had the guts to admit my love for it in real life.
I'm twenty-six and I feel like a creep. I don't want people to think I'm into it for "sexy fairy plot" or something like that.
Secret 11 - Old Movies, Some Like it Hot
I love watching old movies. The only bad thing about it is that when you ship characters--especially one with potential like Some Like it Hot--and there is no fic anywhere!
Secret 12 - Idol Rappers
[Picture of LeeSaem of Nine Muses] Replaced by Eunji. [Picture of Kota of Sunny Hill] Replaced by Misung. [Picture of Minzy of 2NE1] Replaced/overshadowed by CL. [Picture of Lime of Hello Venus] Replaced by Yooyoung.
It annoys me so much that these women aren't rapping anymore, instead being shoved into the background so the more "popular" members get more exposure.
Secret because: They're idol rappers - people generally don't care about them.
Secret 13 - Star Trek The Next Generation
My headcanon reason for why he was still so naive and unfamiliar with humans despite being over twenty years old at the start of the series was that his previous captains before Picard made him work 24/7 and never allowed him time to talk to anyone or do anything fun.
Secret 14 - Homestuck
I can't believe people still care about Homestuck.
Secret 15 - Xena Warrior Princess, Hannibal
I've noticed a lot of similarities between the Xena/Ares relationship and the Hannibal/Will relationship.
Ares has manipulated and lied to Xena, toyed with her emotions, framed her for murder, and one time tried to have her driven made. He wants to corrupt her to be like him, because in his own warped way he loves her and thinks he's helping her.
The relationships aren't exactly the same, but they're similar enough that I don't really understand why Hannibal and Will's relationship is largely condemned as being problematic and abusive, but Ares and Xena's isn't.
Secret 16 - Spoilers for Harry Potter
[Picture is Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape from the Harry Potter movies. Albus has long white hair, a long white beard and a white mustache. He has a slightly tanned light skin. He is wearing eyeglasses, a dark robe and a dark hat. Severus has slightly tanned skin, short dark hair that looks sort of dirty reaching his jaw and is wearing dark robes. Albus is saying something thoughtfully, while Severus looks like he's holding back his anger.]
I find it hypocritical that people are unwilling to forgive Snape for his "racist" beliefs or allegiance to Voldemort when Dumbledore himself once believed in the superiority of wizards over muggles, that wizards should rule over them and that any losses along the way would be "for the greater good". Dumbledore changed, but only after someone he loved died -- as did Snape.
Secret 17 - Spoilers for Life
[Picture is the cast from the TV show "Life". They are four men and a woman wearing suits or sort of professional looking dark clothes. (Except for the man standing to the left and a little await from the rest, who is wearing a brown jacket. They all have light skin and either dark hair, on in one man's exception, graying hair. The four persons standing together are all wearing dark eyeglasses. The woman has dark hair reaching her shoulders. They are standing on a field, posing seriously in front of what is presumably a dead body covered by a white blanket with a small yellow evidence in crime scene sign.]
I always liked the Tidwell/Dani couple better than Dani/Crews... So when they implied that Dani and Crews got together after the finale, I felt incredibly down.
Secret because: The show's been over for years, and it's ridiculous to admit I'm still annoyed by it.
Bonus secret: I'd totally do Tidwell. And Ted. And Charlie. And Roman. ...I have a problem, don't I?
Bonus secret 2: I never liked Dani. Ever. Yes, I am female, why do you ask?
Secret 18 - Spoilers for My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic
[Picture is a screen-capture of a YouTube video titled "Season 4 Animatics From SDCC 2013 Panel (High Quality)". It shows a drawing of the character Princess Luna from the cartoon "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic." She is a pony with wings, a unicorn horn and long flowing mane and tail. The picture is colorless, and has a timer on top. She is standing on top of some stairs, looking angry.]
I was so disappointed when I realized this was a flashback and not an upcoming event in the present time. (But it does make more sense for it to be in the past, and we've begged for it...)
But now the shivers I felt the first time I watched this animatic ("No, Luna, why?!"), the sense of betrayal!! The excitement! Gone now. [sad face emoticon]
Secret 19 - Warning for abuse, Cinderella
[Picture is Cinderella from the Disney animated film "Cinderella". She is a young woman with rosy light skin, blue eyes, wavy dark blonde hair reaching past her shoulders and dark pink lips. She is smiling and looking to the side as she says something. She is wearing a light blue dress or blouse with a black vest.]
I am firmly of the belief that anyone who calls Cinderella a weak doormat of a character (or a bad role model because she teaches little girls that dreaming for things will get you anything you want) doesn't understand the dynamics of abusive/controlling families and how dreaming about a better future is often the only thing that keeps you going on the worst days.
Secret 20 - Warning for sexual abuse, Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword
[Picture is Ghirahim and Link from the videogame "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword". Ghirahim is a humanoid male with white hair parted on the side and covering half his face, pale skin, pointed ears, thin and kind of short and wearing a skin-tight white and gray suit. He is wearing a golden belt with a large red gem and a golden arm band. He is blocking Link's sword strike with a hand. Link is a young man with short dark blond hair wearing a green tunic and a green hat, along with a shield, fingerless brown gloves and wielding a sword. He is striking at Ghirahim on a large circular platform with the picture of a sun on it, somewhere in a large chamber.]
I was sexually abused. When I first encountered Ghirahim, it made me so uncomfortable that I had anxiety problems and quit playing for several days. I think I'm just projecting, but something about Ghirahim rubs me the wrong way and he comes off as really sexual. I recently realized I unconsciously formed a headcanon that whenever they crossed paths, he tried to sexually dominate Link to humiliate and torture him. I feel guilty for thinking such an awful thing about something that probably wasn't even meant to be sexual. Feeling this way made the game more personal, so it was intense to play through. Weird enough, it has actually helped me deal with the abuse I went through. I even grew to like Ghirahim as a character. This is all really contradictory since it's very triggering for me. I'm confused about the whole thing to be honest.
