Odd confessions.

Oh how I wish I had your foresight.

Same, I joined a Internet forum when I was 14, and I've been regretting that decision for years, I said some stupid shit.

I still listen toCaramelldansen

Me too. I listen to all sorts of eurodance stuff most people would find cringe. Including ringtone mascots like Gummibär, Crazy Frog etc.

I’ve been really in the mood of listening to the songs Calcutta and Dancing Lasha Tumbai in particular these past few days. Music like this just gets me hyped up, and it’s nostalgic since I’ve been first exposed to stuff like it as a kid.

I can't blame you. It's catchy and tolerable.

I thought the grandma in Big City Greens was supposed to be some sort of owl woman. Probably didn't help that she (like everyone else in the show) doesn't have a visible nose.

Back when I saw Avatar: The Last Airbender as a kid, I thought Zuko's scar was part of a wolf's face, so I thought Zuko was a werewolf for a while until I revisited it as a teenager.

Shit, how cool would that be?

Sometimes, when I’m home alone, I just scream out “WA-TAH!!!” and “HYAAA-TATATATATATA!!!” without doing anything.

The idea of a werewolf just having part of his face in wolf form at all times kinda reminds me of some YA novel I read called something like Not Your Ordinary Wolf Girl, which had some odd takes on Our Werewolves Are Different - in particular, it was possible that you could get bit by a werewolf and have it not take fully, so you'd just end up with one hand being permanently a paw and the rest of you looking normal or something. The weirdest case of this in a book was a girl whose entire lower body was in werewolf form, like some kind of werewolf centaur - she was able to hide it by wearing full length skirts but her gait was still noticeably odd.

In the same "weird misinterpretations of visuals in media" category I guess: There's a mini-game in Duck Hunt where you shoot down clay pigeons. I had no idea what clay pigeons were and thought you were supposed to be shooting UFO's down with your gun. Original NES graphics being what they were, the clay pigeons were represented by white ovals, so I can kinda see where I thought they looked like flying saucers.

I think things with no teeth can be even scarier than things with More Teeth than the Osmond Family.

Agreed. Gums just gross me out.

Sorry for the double post, but it aggravates me when people call The Lion King (2019) an animated film. If anything, it’s an animation / live action hybrid.

It is an animated film but that's not its intention.

There's no live action involved. It's all photo realistic animation.

I was under the impression that the backgrounds were all live-action.

There's a point where cartooniness is more acceptable. An unexpressive cat will not be a good template for human emotions.

There's only one actual live action shot in the whole movie: the beginning.

My grandma was the first person to teach me the word slut but not it’s meaning.

I confess that it really irks me when people pronounce Mewtwo as Mew Two. It's one word dammit! Say it right!

Pardon the double post but... I feel uncomfortable saying certain swear words online but I'm perfectly fine saying them in real life.

I reflexively curse when I’m frustrated or accidentally hurt myself, but most of the time I don’t consciously use strong swears unless I’m either very angry or quoting something, so those are the only times I type them out. It's an effort on my part because I believe that swears are more effective when used sparingly.

Another confession: Whenever someone says "What is love?" I instinctively break into song. It only works when it's said out loud, though.

Opposite for me, so I get what you mean

I'm in the Precision camp, to be honest.
