Deep Dive Into My Introduction to Fandom Cultrure

It started innocent ya know? I found out about fanart and thought "wow! that's so cool". Then I was like wow wouldn't it be cool if I could put all these pictures into an easily accessible folder? Here's where the downfall begins, I discover pinterest and it fits my needs exactly! But wait a second, a lot of these pictures are linked to this thing called tumblr. Huh I wonder what that is? duh duh duh. See I would like to sit here confidently and say a good  amount of teens/young adults who were on tumblr in it's prime years can directly correlate some of their issues to it. But hell what do I know, maybe it was only my young brain that was rotted away by tumblr (unlikely). 

See one fandom isn't bad but we all know it never stops there. Once you know what a fandom is and you're in one you just start fucking collecting them like pokemon. Ironically I was never deeply invested in pokemon, moving on. After the first one it starts to get confusing to me for when I actually got involved in vertain fandoms. I mean from then on its just a blob of fiction that I use as avoidance from my actual problems. Now the first new thing I think I discovered on tumblr after downloading it was what shipping was as well as fanfiction. God damn if only I never discovered that. See I used to write fanfiction in middleschool though I only ever posted one completed story. It was a fucking Draco x Harry soulmate au for fucks sake!!! It's still actually on my ao3 page, I read it when I need a good laugh (oh if you want to actually read that piece of junk my profile on ao3 is sandi0n)

I would like to say before I continue, I am aware that my explanations are no where near process and are in fact incredibly convoluted. I go on tangents and what not. Now continuing on what I was saying earlier before the fanfiction tangent, you just start to collect em like those fucking fancy collector spoons. After the first its kinda like the big bang. Oh there's this one small thing that's cool, BOOM everything is cool and I love the internet. God after that I discovered Supernatural (maybe the 4th biggest mistake of my life). Then came youtube, now while I'm talking about youtube I wanna bring up parasocial relationships. See they are in fact not always postive; for example Daniel Howell (aka danisnotonfire). He's a great guy I love him, but I also despise him. I blame him solely for why I was cringy in middleschool. Those fucking cat whiskers were so hard to get off and his stupid diss track against himself. had it memorized actually I still might, hold up a sec gotta test my skills. 

A month without uploading he comes back with a tag, that no one even tagged him in he's not a challenge to drag,

So prepare for an attack, and by that I mean cringe, cause this motherfuckers about to get dragged by his fringe.

First things first you're freakishly tall its weird you look like a noodle,

You got hair that was cool in 2007 and wet you just look like a poodle (hobbit)

Throw in an annoying posh voice and yep that's dan

You're what you'd get if winnie the poo fucked slender man. 

You procrastinate making videos, because being judged is scary

You're so close to being forgotten the hate's imaginary 

The only reason you get views is cause you're another white guy that people ship with his friend, because they thing its kawaii

Reasons why dans a fail (yay), I'll give you some (deep breath)

You never tweet, you overeat, all you do is cry and sleep, your jokes are shitposts and memes with no originality, you families sad you flopped your law degree at university, anything embarrassing from your past you click delete, 

You were vegan for like 3 weeks, then what? you miss the meat?

Wow I'm so impressed by your clear moral integrity 

You try so hard to be peaceful,

 and yea the rest is just bits and pieces LMAOOO. On another note I'm so sorry I completely forgot my original point.
