Dudes, this Fandom Secrets post is particularly awesome.

I particularly liked these five:

1.
Possibly this doesn't belong in a "secrets" comm. I mean, I'm pretty sure we all thought it.


2.
Dear god! I never noticed the similarities!


3.
This one is here for the grate lulz. Newsflash: John Barrowman does not want to impregnate you, 16 year old fangirl.


4.
Aw! Sad secret is sad! And secretly I want that body sweater. It looks cozy.


5.
Is anyone else thinking what I'm thinking? (Hey, what's this about her changing handles?)

I'm sure as heck thinking what you're thinking.

... although that Fandom Secret ended with an apology, which seems sliiiightly out of character for her.

I really want to know what her new handle is. You know, for the quiet times where fandom isn't in the middle of drama. (I swear they exist.)

I think so, but where would we get all those rubber chickens and coke bottles on such short notice?

Fandom secrets is stupidly addictive.

[merrily]

I KNOW. It's the crack cocaine of fandom.

How can anyone not like John/Aeryn?

[merrily]

How could you tell that was John/Aeryn and not Cam/Vala? (Never watched Farscape.)

[inalasahl]

I actually had to stop and think about this, because it was so obvious I forgot they were the same actors. Other than being played by the same actors, Cam/John and Vala/Aeryn look nothing alike. Seriously. There are more obvious clues (Leather pants! Peacekeepers symbol over John's shoulder), but really they are nothing alike. They don't have the same hair, the same clothes, they don't move and stand and gesture the same, or interact the same on the two shows.

(If you ever decide to watch Farscape and wonder why people love it so much when it so clearly sucks, it's only the first 18 or so episodes, I promise. And then the rest is so awesome you actually enjoy that first 18, after all.)

[inalasahl]

Also, the secret itself: Cam/Vala are not a canon couple as John/Aeryn are, so that helped, too, probably.

The Sheldon-Rodney connection is blowing my mind.

My feeds mustn't be working because I didn't get the fandom_wank update :-(

Okay, I'm an idiot. This is dated from 2009.

[merrily]

I shall ponder getting into Farscape. I mean, both Claudia Black and Ben Browder are hella pretty.

[merrily]

Oh! That makes more sense.

[merrily]

I KNOW RIGHT!

[merrily]

Yup, it's old wank.
