[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 an ankh 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.

[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.

[Picture is two screen-captures side by side of the TV show "The Glades". The first one shows Jim Longworth and Callie Cargill looking at each other, standing close, sand in the other Jim and Sam are kissing at an outdoors restaurant table near the sea. Jim has light olive skin and short dark hair. He is wearing a dark shirt in both pictures. Callie has light skin, long dark blonde or light brown hair and a red shirt or dress. Sam has olive skin, medium or long brown hair and is wearing a pink-purple sleeveless blouse.]

I can't stand the Jim/Callie couple. They have no chemistry, and Callie's a whiny, jealous, shrill nag. Jim/Sam, on the other hand, was awesome - they played off each other well, and the show felt... well... fun again.

Secret because: Nobody even watches this show, and the ones who do are fans of Callie/Jim.

Bonus secret: The Kia product placement is just gross. The show is now essentially an infomercial!

[Picture is the actor Gabriel Mann, who plays the character Nolan Ross from the TV show "Revenge". He is posing shirtless and closing his eyes as someone points a gun at his forehead. He has light skin and short brown hair (possibly blond?).]

I hope Nolan gets a boyfriend in prison. (A real bad guy who manipulates him and exploits his feelings.)

Especially if it causes tension between Nolan and Emily. They're my Bro-True Pairing and I long for delicious conflict.

[Picture is detectives Stephen Holder, as portrayed by Joel Kinnaman, and Sarah Linden, as portrayed by Mireille Enos, from the TV show "The Killing", airing on the American channel "AMC". Holder has light skin, short dark hair and a mustache. He is wearing a light T-shirt, a gray sweatshirt and a dark jacket. He is listing the cover of a book/trunk of a car, looking grimly at its contents (the camera is placed as though inside the car, so they're both looking at the camera). Linden has pale skin, red hair slicked back and is wearing a light shirt or blouse and a dark jacket over it. She is leaning to the side and looking in, with a flashlight in hand.]

I think Holder actually has romantic feelings for Linden in canon. I feel embarrassed by how hard I ship them.

I know romance isn't the point of the show. I love the plotlines and the characters (Bullet!), too. I just really want them to kiss and do other shippy stuff.

[Picture is the actor Simon Pegg, who plays the character Montgomery "Scotty" Scott in the new Star Trek movies, and he is the co-writer and an actor of the new movie "The World's End". He has rosy light skin and short reddish beard and mustache. He is wearing eyeglasses, a gray T-shirt and a gray hat. He is talking before a microphone, smiling.]

After defending Star Trek Into Darkness, he lost my respect. Pegg is nothing but a butthurt fanboy and a hypocrite.

Star Trek Into Darkness insults the intelligence of fandom. It may be financially successful but that doesn't change that it's still be terrible either way. In short- fuck you, Pegg.

Why fans paid so much to see this garbage is beyond me.

[Picture is the character Paige from the cartoon "Tron: Uprising". She is a grayscale program/woman with short dark hair with a large side-bang/forelock, long eyelashes, a long, triangular face and full lips. She is wearing a full-body skin-tight black suit with orange lines going down it on the arms and sides. She is typing/playing on a monome It has square buttons and some are lit up. She looks focused and serious.]

I bought three albums on iTunes that I would normally never even consider because it sounds like music Paige would have played. I normally hate this kind of music.

[Picture is a black and white photograph of the musician Paul McCartney when he was younger. He has light skin and short dark hair. He is wearing a suit. He is raising up his hands to the air and looking sideways at the camera.]

My art teacher is a left-handed, guitar-playing vegetarian. He's also slightly younger than him and shares a resemblance to (older) him too.

Now whenever I see recent pictures of him, I feel weird.

[Picture is Jean Valjean and Cosette from the movie? "Les Misérables". Valjean is a man with light skin and dark hair, wearing a purple cape and a brown tall hat. (The secret maker added the word "cool" and an arrow pointing at the hat.) He is holding up Cosette, who is clinging to him with her arms wrapped around his neck. She is a young child with light skin and long blonde hair. She looks dirty and sad, with a dark dress and a green cloth draped over her shoulders They are both looking at someone off-screen.]

He is probably one of my FAVORITE male protagonists in any of the books I've read.

-HAS ACTUAL FLAWS.
-Actually shows the full spectrum of human emotion.
-Is capable of kicking ass and taking names, but also can raise a little girl and be mothery and stuff and no one gives a shit.
-Completely turns his life around.
-Gets realistically pissed at people, but can forgive them in the end.

Secret because: It probably makes me sound like a pretentious bitch.

[Picture is a scan of the manga "Mud" by Yamashita Tomoko. A shirtless man looks over his shoulder and says to a woman who looks kind of surprised and who appears to be holding something like a thick stick in her hand: "You're... The best. Really, I mean it... You've made all my fantasies come true. Haha... But, you know..." The woman has light skin and long dark hair, and the man is flushed and sweating, with light skin and short dark hair.]

This manga is so real I'm convinced it's semi-autobiographical, because it's play-for-play how my last relationship worked out. Minus the happy ending. I think the author tacked that on to salve her own wounds.

Why is it that many guys who want kinky sex will judge women who give it to them as not good enough for a relationship? This manga made me angry just reading it because it's so fucking true.

[Picture is a black and white photograph of the musical group "The Beatles" when they were young/alive. They are four young men with light skin and short dark hair wearing warm clothing and smiling for the camera.]

I'm not the kind of person to ship them or anything. But I'd be genuinely surprised to find out that they DEFINITELY didn't 'experiment' with each other at all.

Secret because: This sounds even weirder than just shipping them...

spoilers for Project Runway

[Picture is Kahindo Mateene and Justin LeBlanc from the reality TV show "Project Runway". Kahindo is a woman with dark/brown skin and small, thin cornrows? Her hair is long and dark brown. She is wearing a sleeveless yellow shirt and smiling at the camera. Justin is a man with pale skin, brown eyes and a brown slight mustache and beard. He is wearing a dark cap/hat and gray clothing. He is smiling at the camera.]

Justin deserved to go home. Tim Gun's "save" proved to be a gimmick for the show. Tim has no real objective reasoning ability, and he let his emotional attachment influence his choice. The worst Kahindo did was play safe; she deserved a second chance. Whatever. At least pity wasn't the reason she could've been spared.

[Picture is Esmeralda, from the Disney animated movie "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", dancing, with a close up of her eye and a gray cartoon goat who has a pierced ear with a golden hoop earring (like the ones Esmeralda wears), and on the other side, Anthy Himemiya, also dancing?, from the anime "Revolutionary Girl Utena", also with a close up of her eye and this time with a cartoonish purple monkey (Chu-chu, Anthy's friend/pet) below her, also wearing a golden hoop earring, plus a red tie. Esmeralda has dark skin and long dark hair. She has green eyes and is wearing a red and purple almost see-through dress She is wearing a golden crown and/or tiara. Anthy has dark skin and short purple hair. She is wearing dark and red pants, and a dress consisting of a red sleeveless shirt and a red cape, also she is wearing a golden crown? and eyeglasses. There are arrows pointing out the similar crown/tiara thingies, the red chest pieces they are wearing and the golden hoop earrings of the animals.]

Coincidence? Wake up, sheeple!
