Fuck Into Darkness and all the K/S shippers it spawned.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah. Nah. He was in the thing, it's natural he's going to defend it, and in any case, he's entitled to his own opinion. Disagreeing with him doesn't merit telling him he's a horrible fuck, or whatever.

But I think the best part of this secret is just kind of slipping in the "anyone who liked STID or defends it is clearly an idiot". I mean, I didn't like the movie, but come on, people are allowed to like it. Especially the part about how it "insults the intelligence of the fandom" (presumably in some way that The Final Frontier or Generations or Nemesis or Insurrection didn't) - it's almost like you're some kind of butthurt fanboy, or something.

[halberdier]

And... you're butthurt because Simon Pegg is butthurt?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm with you there, OP. But then I wonder if guys, friends, truly experiment with each other or if it's a myth.

When did this happen?

[elephantinegrace]

I remember reading something about this in passing. What happened with him and Star Trek?

...Seriously?

What is the blue arrow supposed to mean, out of curiosity? They both have torsos? Wear some red clothing?

[Picture is the covers of the books "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak and "The Days of the Deer" by Liliana Bodoc. There is also an image of the character "Death" from the comic book "Sandman" by the writer Neil Gaiman. The cover of "The Book Thief" shows domino pieces lined up; "The days of the Deer" shows a golden shiny circular object, like a shield, possibly. And Death from "Sandman" looks like a young woman in a gothic style, with medium-long black hair, black gloves, black boots, pants, belt and top and a Christian cross hanging from a necklace. She is holding a black umbrella and letting it rest against her shoulder.]

I read "The Book Thief" in Spanish. Death was always referred to as "she", as it has always been in that language. So I pictured Death's voice as some cool, rough, ancient female voice. Besides that, around that time, I read "The Days of the Deer" and "Sandman", were Death was female as well.

Now that The Book Thief is coming out, I know that Death will have to have a male voice (as in the book) or at least a neutral one, and that above all things will damage my beautiful perception of the concept of Death. I don't even know why.

I know, "movies don't ruin books", cry moar, OP.

[(Anonymous)]

...why those shippers in particular? I didn't notice a huge increase in obnoxious K/Sers between the first movie and the second.

Reading Gantz

[(Anonymous)]

And I'm almost jealous.

It seems like it'd be incredible to have such a purity of focus. A constant target, and basic worry with a goal held out for you to aim for, and stopping you getting lost inside your head.

[helenadax]

I think of the Death as "she" in Spanish but I imagine her with a man's voice. Anyway, I'm okay with the Death being male, female, neutral or whatever.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't understand. He is a well-rounded character--why, exactly, would you get flack for this?

[(Anonymous)]

This second secret is cracking me up and I really don't know why.

[fenm]

Why would that make you sound pretentious?

And, hey, let's be pretentious together! I adore Valjean. (-:

Re: When did this happen?

[(Anonymous)]

He told people who were angry about it to fuck off, or something

Which, I mean, I might not have liked the film, but I think the attitude is refreshing, at least

[(Anonymous)]

Why? Can you not accept that four men can be good, close friends without experimentation?

[helenadax]

I love Star Trek and I enjoyed STiD; I say it loud and proud.

[vethica]

K/S shippers are kind of a universal constant, dude.

I'm sorry, but that last sentence made you sound like you were presenting a conspiracy theory on how the government planned 9/11 or JFK was shot by so-and-so on the grassy knoll.

[Picture is the musician, producer and DJ Ryan Lewis and the rapper Macklemore. Ryan Lewis has light skin, short dark hair neatly combed and a slight beard and mustache. He is wearing a black leather wrist watch, a dark T-shirt, dark pants and a dark jacket. Macklemore has light skin, a partially shaved head, leaving only some hair on top, short and brown, and is wearing a shiny thin metallic necklace, a black top/sleeveless shirt and black pants. He is wearing a golden metallic wristwatch and has his hands in the pockets of his pants. They both look serious.]

I am ridiculously frustrated by my inability to find slash fics about them. (Seriously, is it possible there's none at all?)

But I am way too embarrassed by the fact I ship them to try and ask around.
