[Picture is the logotype of the brand of toy dolls "Monster High". It's a cartoonish skull with "eyelashes" and a pink bow (pink in this picture) on top of its head.]

My whole life I have hated dolls and only played with action figures and other non-girly things.

I hate myself for liking these dolls. Whenever I buy them I have to refer to them as action figures to reaffirm my masculinity. I'm female, but I've never been girly and I wish I hated these dolls but they're really awesome looking and I can't help but love them.

[Picture is various black and white photographs of Harry Stiles and Louis Tomlinson from the musical group "One Direction". They are both young men with light skin and short dark hair sitting or standing at the 2013 American Music Awards, next to other members of their group.]

I'm not a Larry shipper, I don't care about their relationships. But the more they try to keep them apart, the more I'm starting to think they're trying to hide something.

They spent an eight hour long livestream barely looking at each other, standing near each other or interacting in any shape, way or form.

Some fans say the reason they don't talk to each other any more is because they hate each other. But then why would they look at each other like that [arrow pointing at a photograph where the two are smiling at each other]?

All these pics are from the same event; the 2013 AMAs.

warning for description of aftermath of violence?

[Picture is Brian, the talking dog from the cartoon "Family Guy". He is on a metal bed, with both eyes purpled and one swollen, with bruises and ripped fur/skin all over. There is a bloodied sheet over his thorax. It looks like it has an intravenous feed going into his arm.]

I'm glad he's dead.

[Picture is a screencapture of an internet post about fandom etiquette on tumblr blogs? Parts of it are covered up by the secret maker's own text, and the right side of it has words missing because they were cropped out of the picture. What is visible says:

"Repeat with me, please:

1. YOU ARE NOT A GOD. I don't care how well thought out your headcanons are. I
you are absolutely correct on everything you say you are, be it the scienc[e]
whatever. WHAT YOU DO ON YOUR BLOG APPLIES TO YOU ONLY. This
HOW popular you are. YOUR HEADCANONS REMAIN ON YOUR BLOG A
UNLESS OTHER MODS DECIDE OF THEIR OWN CHOOSING TO ADOPT T
IF YOU ARE PART OF A GROUP THAT HAS UNANIMOUSLY AGREED ON IT.
2. Please for the love of all that is holy STOP MAKING PLOT 'FEELS' A COM

[blocked by secret maker's text]

3. AND ON THAT NOTE - A BLOG IS NOT ABOVE OR BELOW YOURS BECAUS[E]
PLOT OR NOT. There are several damned awesome blogs I know of that are ligh[earted and?]
fun! AND THAT IS WHAT IT SHOULD BE FOR. Your blog is fantastic no matter
text, images, voice, animation or whether or not you choose to use plot or not. And
are people who need to shut up.
4. People feel like outcasts in this community because as soon as people get 'popul[ar]

blog is popular. Sheesh, we're all human, aren't we? [displeased face emoticon] We're all going to be frien[ds]
THAT ISN'T ELITIST. AND IF YOU THINK IT IS, KINDLY RE-ASSESS YOUR OW[N]
tell me if you didn't pick and choose yourself."]

[text from the actual secret below]

I hate how so many users in this fandom community tell people how to act and what to do or not do when they're the worst of the bunch when it comes to playing God and overdramatic feels-plots and acting like the goddamn voice of the community, especially since they are the ones who keep the drama going everytime. I wish they'd stop with the dramawhoring and telling people how to run their blogs and spend more time focusing on their own plots.

This is not a Public Service Announcement, it's a demand the entire fandom cater their blogs to one drama whoring asshole. Hit the unfollow button if you don't like a plot!

[Picture is the cartoon rabbit Bugs Bunny dressed up as a barber and holding up a shaving knife. He is smiling haughtily.]

I seriously think he is so sexy. Especially when he disguises himself as a woman. I find it really attractive that he goes to such lengths for the sake of being hilarious for his own amusement.

[Picture is Jared Leto, actor and member of the musical group "Thirty Seconds to Mars". He is a young man with light skin, gray eyes and brown hair dyed dark blond in a gradient starting around the middle and to the tips. It reaches past his shoulders. he is wearing a white T-shirt and a dark leather jacket over it.]

I think his long hair is really ugly.

[Picture is the cover of the book "Last of the Gaderene" by Mark Gatiss, based on the TV series "Doctor Who". It features the Third Doctor, an elderly man, standing and looking at the viewer with the picture of a plane behind him, and behind the plane there is a yellow circle and many cloud-like colorful shapes.]

I was planning on buying this for a close family member for Christmas.

They died suddenly, but I still can't bring myself to remove the link from my bookmarks.

[Picture is Dora Bianchi and Tai Hubbert, characters from the webcomic "Questionable Content". Tai has lightly tanned skin and short red hair, and wearing eyeglasses, a purple T-shirt with the words "SMIF COLLEGE" on the chest and blue denim pants/trousers. Dora has light skin and short black hair. She is wearing a white tank top and small, dark earrings. Tai is walking in through a door and saying "Hey.", while Dora has her back to her and looking vaguely in her direction.]

I am really starting to hate this comic. It used to be fun and interesting - Pizza Girl, the gang going into space, the bar of maximum ridiculosity, Steve's random side adventures, Hannelore sledding down a hill on a tea-tray, Faye and Sven, the hobo who wrote erotica!

Now?

A week's worth of strips on Tai and Dora's completely asinine relationship issues, Marten STILL not doing anything with his life, and generic "Emily being weird"/"Clare making puns" strips week in week out. Even the Marigold/Dale is boring. The comic has barely developed in the last few years, it's stale now.

too long; didn't read: Questionable Content used to be fun with genuinely interesting worldbuilding elements and storylines. Also, anon hates Tai and Dora.

Edited (Thank you, anon, dethtoll and kamino_neko!) 2013-12-07 01:26 (UTC)

[Picture is Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter from the TV series "Hannibal". Hannibal is staring at the viewer while leaning close behind Will, while Will ignores him and stares ahead stoically.]

I don't judge people who ship this.

But I DO judge people who think Hannibal would be good for Will and/or think it would be a healthy relationship.

[Picture is four of the main characters from the TV series "Pretty Little Liars". They're all pretty young women wearing pretty dresses.]

I wish I was as smart as these girls. They are an inspiration to feminists everywhere.

[Picture is the cover of the book "Know Not Why" by Hannah Johnson. It shows a ball of yarn that unraveled a little to form the outline of a heart.]

I thought both of the main characters seemed so asexual that I had a hard time buying all the sex that was supposedly happening. I can't help but feel like this would be an unpopular opinion...

[Picture is Korra, main character from the cartoon "The Legend of Korra" standing on a metallic rail and overlooking a city near a mountain. She is a young woman with dark skin (very dark olive?), long brown hair pulled back in a ponytail with some pulled in smaller tails to the sides of her head, and wearing a blue and brown attire of pants/trousers, sleeveless shirt, a sort of skirt thing? and armbands. Her muscles look toned and she is standing firm.]

I'm sick of people dragging season 1 through the mud during their critiques of season 2.

Season 1 was great (with exception of the love triangle). I feel like people forgot.

[Picture is an animated GIF image where the 12th Doctor, played by Peter Capaldi, is frowning and flicking a switch on the TARDIS console. It is a cameo from the 50th anniversary special of the TV series "Doctor Who".]

This shot made me ridiculously happy.

spoilers for Family Guy

[Picture is Brian, the talking dog from the cartoon "Family Guy" badly beaten up and hurt on a metal bed. He appears to be dead, and then a picture of Richard Harrow from the TV series "Boardwalk Empire". He has olive skin, short black hair and a thin mustache. He is wearing a suit and standing somewhere outdoors.]

This upset me [picture of dog] more than this did. [picture of man]

Edited (Thank you, sarillia!) 2013-12-07 01:49 (UTC)

spoilers for Doctor Who

[Picture is the War Doctor (played by John Hurt), the Tenth Doctor (played by David Tennant) and the Eleventh Doctor (played by Matt Smith), standing around the Moment (a pyramid thing) about to press the Big Red Button to destroy Gallifrey in the latest special, The Day of the Doctor, from the TV series "Doctor Who".]

I wish they'd retconned the entire modern series out with this scene.

Not because I dislike the series - I've loved it since Rose. I just think it would have made for a much more satisfying ending.

Would have been a tidy fix for the "12 regenerations" issue, too.

Edited (Thank you very much, kamino_neko!) 2013-12-07 02:35 (UTC)

warning for abuse

[Picture is John Winchester from the TV series "Supernatural". He is a man with tanned skin and short dark hair, and short mustache and beard looking a little beat up and tired and/or a little emotional.]

The meta on John Winchester's abuse of his sons, and the abuse apologism, and meta on that, helped me come to terms with my own parentification and emotional abuse. Thanks, Supernatural. You helped me more than therapy did.
