Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Picture is Deanna Troi from the TV show "Star Trek: The Next Generation". She is a woman with light olive skin and wavy dark hair.]

I met a woman named after her last weekend and I thought it was fantastic. Good job, trekkie parents! Now I want to put Lwaxana and Beverly on my list of kids names.

Secret because: Naming a kid Lwaxana probably isn't fair. Still an awesome name.

[Picture is a dagger with the name "Rumplestiltskin" on its wavy blade, from the TV show "Once Upon a Time".]

I get incredibly annoyed at how often people misspell Rumplestiltskin's name. I know it's spelled Rumpelstiltskin in the original tale, but c'mon guys. It's right there on the dagger.

I totally judge fanfic authors who make this mistake. You can't even spell the character's name right? Really? [displeased face emoticon]

[Picture is Yamato "Matt" Ishida and Taichi "Tai" Kamikya from the anime "Digimon". Matt is a young boy with light skin and short blond hair. He is wearing a sleeveless green shirt. Tai has light olive skin and spiky brown hair. He is wearing a blue and yellow sweater and goggles around his forehead. Matt has his back to the viewer and is holding Tai in his arms, who looks beat up but smiling with a slight frown.]

Not secret: I love Digimon Adventure, especially Tai, who is my all-time favorite character (I'm almost 18). I've also been ranting about shipping for about two years, taking a very anti-slash stance. I felt like a lot of shippers did the characters an injustice with all the Out of Character that happens in fanfic and fanart.

Secret: After reading a bunch of stuff explaining why people ship slash pairings, I changed my mind on slash and became a closet slash shipper, ironically becoming the same kind of psycho-bitch who ships everything that I once ranted against. I figured out how far-gone I've become because of the pairing of Tai and Matt. Trouble is, I'm afraid to ship it, along with a buttload of other pairings. I don't want to "hurt" my favorite character. But he's not compatible with any of the girls for me. I keep trying to pairing him off, but, unless I resort to crossover pairings, the only one that makes any sense for him is Taito/Yamachi. But I'm 100% sure my Tai muse is straight. It's a mega pain in the ass.

Bonus secret: I can't stand shipping them as kids, but Adventure is where most of the "proof" is.

[Picture is many Transformers. So many. They are upright sort of humanoid robots. The picture is from the comic book series "Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye".]

I can't stand More Than Meets The Eye. Everyone talks about how Roberts makes them care for the characters and their "feels", but to me it just seems like the comic uses death/the threat of death as a form of cheap drama.

[Picture is a chocolate chip cookie/biscuit with a bunch of "click object mouse interface" hands around it, from the online browser game "Cookie Clicker".]

I'm loving watching this game take off but not because I like the game but because I've been a fan of indie games since PQ and it might make the genre popular.

Secret because: Who tells people their favorite genre of game is the one where they don't *do* anything.

[Picture is Bryan Cranston as Walter White from the TV show "Breaking Bad". He is a man with light skin and red mustache and small beard. He is bald and is wearing eyeglasses and a black shirt. He looks serious.]

Unless you mean to tell me that you always rooted for Hank and the DEA and *never* sided with Jesse, Gus or Mike -- all who at minimum manufactured and produced meth and, especially with the latter two, murdered numerous people with no remorse -- I really don't think you have much moral ground to judge those who root for Walt because he's the "bad guy".

[Picture is Cillian Murphy playing Dr. Jonathan Crane from the Nolan Batman trilogy. He has light olive skin, short wavy dark hair and white rimmed eyeglasses. He is wearing a suit. He is very attractive.]

I wish he had played Sirius Black.

[Picture is the actor Robert Downey Jr. He is a man with light olive skin and short dark hair gelled up. He is wearing a light blue shirt, a black tie (askew) and a leather jacket. He is pumping a fist up and looking sternly at the camera.]

I pretend to agree when people talk about how hot he is. To me, he looks like a middle-aged man with way too much spray tan and an obvious dye job.

Post Script: This photo is airbrushed. It's not real.

[Picture is two images of Spock and Nyota Uhura from the new "Star Trek" movies. Spock has light olive skin, short tidy dark hair and pointy ears. Uhura has dark skin and long dark hair pulled back. In the first image they are close enough to kiss and holding each other, in the second Spock is wearing a space suit, looking grim, while Uhura kisses him on the helmet.]

I tried to hate them, I really did! But they're so CUTE!

[Picture is a drawing of Vriska Serket from the webcomic "Homestuck". She is a humanoid alien with gray skin, long dark hair and yellow-orange horns. She has eyes with yellow sclera. One looks fairly human, but the other has seven small pupils: one in the center and the other six arranged around it. She is wearing a dark blue dress with only one sleeve and a symbol of the sun as a clasp. There is an image of a spider web on the left leg and a different style on the other, with the edges of the blue fraying in black spider webs and white and black ruffles? The picture is cut off at this point.]

In my head, I usually see Vriska as having a rough, scratchy voice... Except when I hear operatic songs or one-woman wails. Then I suddenly imagine her singing those high solos and being the soprano star of the song. What the fuck?
