Notes:
I think I accidentally deleted a secret today or yesterday - if yours (from the week before this one) hasn't been posted, please resubmit. Sorry about that.
Secrets Left to Post: 00 pages, 000 secrets from Secret Submission Post #348.
Secrets Not Posted: [ 0 - broken links ], [ 0 - not!secrets ], [ 0 - not!fandom ], [ 0 - too big ], [ 0 - repeat ].
Current Secret Submissions Post: here.
Suggestions, comments, and concerns should go here.

Transcripts!
Secret 1 - Shipping
1. I rarely ship pairings that are canon or become canon.
2. I'm all for happily-ever afters for the pairings I ship. Even the oddest of odd couples get their happy end in my head.
Why then, when a couple I support does become canon, I get oddly fascinated by the thought of them breaking up (and never getting back together again)? It's not like I suddenly hate the couple, I love them just as much, I just want them to break up.
Secret 2 - Fanart
You are insufferable. You're a very talented, popular fanartist yet 90% of your art blog consists of self-pity and fishing for validation from your followers. And then you wonder why you lose some of those followers each time you do that! Time to look in the mirror! Practice more on your art if you're that unsatisfied by it. Whining will NEVER help you with that.
Also, on the rare occasion you do post new art, maybe don't re-blog it fifteen times in the following day. YES WE SAW IT don't shove it in our faces!
Secret because: I'd have unfollowed your sorry ass ages ago but I know you'd notice my absence and that would give you yet another reason to whine. I pity you too much to leave.
Secret 3 - Spoilers for The Great Gatsby?
[Picture are Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio playing Nick Carraway and Jay Gatsby from the movie "The Great Gatsby". They are both men with light skin and short brown hair wearing suits with other similarly well-dressed people behind them. They are looking attentively at something off-screen and in front of them, while Carraway is smiling a little.]
Not secret: When I was little, my older sister read this book to me but, because I was so young, changed the ending. In her version, Gatsby is shot but doesn't die and these two end up traveling the world together while Gatsby's body, heart and mind recover, and he learns what real love is through friendship, etc. I didn't realize until I was much older that that isn't what actually happened.
Secret: I hate the original. Despite it with a passion of a thousand suns. I can't help but feel like the 'message/lesson' behind the original is cheap in comparison to my sister's version.
Secret because: Obvious reasons, etc.
Secret 4 - Mass Effect 3 (warning for transphobic slur)
[Picture is Ashley Williams from the videogame "Mass Effect 3". She is a woman with light skin and medium-length dark hair. She is wearing a blue science-fiction-type suit inside what is presumably a spaceship.]
I think she looks like a tranny in Mass Effect 3
Secret 5 - The Mortal Instruments - City of Bones
If you like this series, but bag out other Young Adult novels for being badly-written or childish, I judge the hell out of you.
I judge you twice as hard if you bag out the fans of other Young Adult novels.
Secret 6 - Fullmetal Alchemist
If I hear IshBALAN instead of IshVALAN I think THIS.
Notes
http://fma.wikia.com/wiki/Ishvalan
And the "BALAN" in "IshBALAN" sounds like "Ballin'"/"Balling", something like "awesome", not unlike the aura/style of "Gangsta" around rap musicians, their followers, and the people online and irl who take the concept and try to imitate it or make light of it.
Secret 7 - Spoilers for Iron Man 3
[Picture is actor Mark Ruffalo as the character Dr. Bruce Banner from the new Marvel movies (The Avengers, etc.). He is a man with light olive skin and short dark hair, the beginnings of a beard and mustache, and wearing an orange shirt and brown jacket and pants. He is standing during nighttime, illuminated by light orange lightning from off-screen, in the middle of wooden structures and tents.]
I haven't noticed anyone else in the fandom who was at all bothered by his "playing doctor" in some impoverished corner of India without a medical license or any sort of formal medical training.
It really made the "not that kind of doctor" joke in the Iron Man 3 stinger ring hollow and hypocritical.
Secret 8 - Spoilers for Naruto Shippuden - Road to Ninja
[Picture is an image of Menma and Naruto? of the "Naruto Shippuden" movie "Road to Ninja". Menma has light skin, brown or red eyes, and short black hair in spikes, while Naruto has light skin, blue eyes and short blond hair, also in spikes. They both appear to be standing beneath a giant metallic structure illuminated at night while they make "V" signs with their fingers to the camera and smiling.]
I always daydream about Menma being Naruto's twin brother in canon. I bet they would have the craziest, yet most amusing, sibling dynamics. And I seriously ship them together, right from the moment they appeared in the movie. Where are the fanfics at?
Secret because: ...They kind of tried to murder each other in the movie. And due to the eventual "gay twincest, what the fuck, dude!"
Secret 9 - Spoilers for Psycho Pass
[Picture is Shinya Kogami and Akane Tsunemori, characters from the anime "Psycho Pass". Kogami is a young man with light skin and short dark hair wearing a dark blue suit. Akane is a young woman with light skin and short light hair wearing a white blouse and a dark dress jacket. They are bloodied and smiling at each other with closed eyes, upside down one from the other's perspective and with their heads lying next to each other.]
If they meet again in Season 2, there's a good chance that one of them will die. I'll pray on the tiny chance they both end up dead by the end of the season.
I don't even ship them all that much, but I think that's the least painful out of the possible Urobutcher outcomes.
Notes
Secret 10 - Supernatural (warning for suicide)
[Picture is a car's trunk/boot open, showing tons of different guns and weapons.]
I can't take your Winchester suicide-attempt fic seriously if Plan A involves cutting his wrists. They're grown adults who handle firearms every day.
Secret 11 - Orange is the New Black (warning for sexual violence)
[Picture is one male security guard and two female prison inmates from the TV show "Orange is the New Black".]
Sometimes I accidentally find him a turn on.
Secret because: Anyone who's watched this knows this guy is a scumbag, a sexually coercive guard who takes advantage of prisoners, and who racially and sexually objectifies every inmate. What self-respecting (POC!) woman would even feel the tiniest bit of attraction to him?
There's something about the way he acts that caricaturizes the vile role he's playing, something that makes it seem easier for me to enjoy yet loathe him. There's no point in trying to rationalize this right now, just avoid it and shame myself and my kinks.
Secret 12 - Sherlock Holmes 2009 (warning for sexual violence)
[Picture is Robert Downey Junior as Sherlock Holmes from the 2009 movie of the same name. He is naked, lying back over pillows with his legs crossed at the ankles, and presumably tied from the wrists to bedposts on a bed and with a cushion covering his crotch.]
I'm not a rape or sexual assault victim, I'm also not the kind of person who thinks everything is advocating rape culture (not that rape culture isn't bad).
But the fact that Irene explicitly drugged him, made out with him and at the very least tied him up and took all of his clothes off still makes me really uncomfortable.
Double standards ahoy!
