The Fandom Tag

Christine tagged me for this, and I was ecstatic because I've been dying to do this one.  The questions are just too good. I'm going to stay away from all the bigger and more well-known fandoms for this one unless the question calls for it. Because some I know are going to be used by multiple people so I'm trying to avoid that. Also, let you guys see how strange some of my interests are. 

 What’s the first fandom you remember becoming a part of?

When I was three my mom says I became obsessed with Sailor Moon. Then she watched some episodes with me and decided she didn't like it and cut me off. I didn't take it well the little hellion that I was, but I'm an anime fan now so it feels like foreshadowing. 

What’s the newest fandom you’ve come to enjoy?

Such a loaded question. 

I am notorious for having multiple obsessions at once. What kind of fandom are we talking about book, music, movie, tv-show, my random fixation of the moment.

I'll pick K-dramas

And I can't just pick one so bear with me. Even if one is labeled a specific genre most tend to not stick to the usual tropes of the genres.

Like just because one is labeled a romance doesn't mean there isn't a ton of action etc. They have gorgeous cinematography, story-lines, and they really build their relationships up. Like most couples don't even kiss until like the 12th episode.

(I'm trying not to carry on too much about them because I'm planning on doing a post about them soon.)

But basically, I'm an intellectual who watches these shows for the amazing plots. 

The many, many plots

Such intricate storylines!

plot.

*laughs* um this part was super important. (It really wasn't)

 In this scene, he did drown a girl in this stone bath thing where he had been making little paper boats and then turned her into a vampire. I was just like well there are worse ways to go.

Well anyway. (Sidenote pretty much all the ones I've seen have actually had amazing writing)

What’s a fandom guaranteed to give you feels?

Any that has a found family/ guy who shouldn't really have a kid. Cuz he's like a mercenary or something whatever that is. I eat it up. 

They gave me everything with Frank and Amy and then took it away. *cries*

What’s a guilty pleasure fandom of yours?

Any that I watched for aesthetics over anything else or that had a lot of content. Tries to think of the least offensive ones. 

The Magicians- I like a lot of the characters and aspects of this one. They were all college-aged and I was so tired of watching teenagers. But even though they tried to have plotlines about mental health, they really never had the impact they were supposed to and at times felt edgy on purpose, and it went nowhere. 

But I will forever love Eliot Waugh (The rest can burn)

Deadly Class- Fantastic aesthetics, but everything else is a mess. Cliched characters, plotlines, and way too edge lord for me. The backstories were so over-the-top gory and awful for like no reason except edgy. It's one of those ones that's gorgeous but substanceless and went nowhere. I wasn't surprised it didn't get renewed. Also, the stuff involving dogs, why?!

Also, I think someone was using people as furniture and they lost me. 

I watched it for him essentially.

I guess they used to be guilty pleasures but now I'm just mad.

What’s the weirdest fandom you’ve heard of/are a part of?

That's a tough one, all fandoms are pretty weird if you go on their Tumblr tags. I mainly just try to get my gifs and get out. Like I'm always on the fringes of fandoms never really in them. I found a surprising amount of people started listening to Stray Kids because of Hyunjin and his hair. I actually got invested because of Felix and his voice and ended up finding Hyunjin after. 

Hyunjin's hair and Felix's freckles. I'm a fan XD

Favorite popular/widely-known fandom?

Hmmm favorite is super hard

Stranger Things

Marvel

Pirates of the Caribbean

Mainstream anime (I'm basic)

old Disney movies

Studio Ghibli

Narnia

Wonderland

You know all the basics. I'm super basic. It's sad

Favorite bookish fandom?

Howl's Moving Castle! I always come back to it, all the time. I will never be over it. 

What do you consider your home base, a fandom you can always come back to?

Lord of the Rings. I was raised on it, read it. Had it read to me. Watched the extended editions obsessively. Can still quote it nearly word for word. I feel like it never dies either.

What’s a fandom you know all about…but aren’t actually into it?

I know an awful lot about Supernatural for someone who has seen like three episodes. Like I know all the actor's names, who they married. I know how it ends, and some of the random inside jokes don't ask me why I have no idea. 

Which fandom has the best characters?

I hope everyone knows this question is ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous. Plus we all know I love the terrible characters, not the best ones. 

I'm just picking one of my recent ones to gush about, because how else do I answer this question

I love the characters in Tale of the Nine-Tailed.

There's Lee Yeon

He's a Gumiho and goes around taking out other foxes who decided to terrorize humans and eat their livers. He's tricky, dangerous, and sarcastic. But also a soft boi who loves mint ice cream and ice americanos. He also has a habit of falling in love with humans who get possessed by the Dragon and then try to kill him.

Lee Rang

Yeon's brother who he tries to pretend doesn't exist. Doesn't have the moral code that Yeon has and is constantly getting people to make deals with him and causes a lot of undue chaos also has this girl he saved from the zoo. And accidentally ends up getting this family. That he supposedly didn't want and Loki style decides to save everyone. Despite being the antagonist.

Nam Ji-ah 

She lost her parents at a young age in a car crash. Almost got eaten by some foxes was saved by Leon who makes her forget him. She's actually the reincarnation of his first love. She then bumps into him while shooting a show on urban legends. Figures out he isn't a human and tracks him down. Ends up getting mixed up in his crazy world and makes him more or less repeat his history.

It's got great chaotic sibling dynamics, humor, heartbreak, and an adorable love story. 

Name your all-time favorite ship.

I can't choose are you crazy.

The 10th Doctor and Rose

Howl and Sophie

Frank and Karen

Not even technically a couple

I have a million

Min Min and Bong Bong

He fell so fast so hard and it's adorable.

What’s a fandom you’re curious about joining?

Shadow and Bone but I guess I'm technically already in that one. 

Mouse is a new K-drama I'm planning on watching I started it but then they hadn't finished subbing the episode. So I had to wait on that one.

As soon as I find things I tend to jump on them. So I can't really think of any that I've been wanting to join I usually just do.

I tag

Ribbonash

And anyone who wants to do it.
