fandom meme
I found this looking for challenges in the search, and am ultimately copying the questions from inkysqueed! what better than memes when you're recovering from a cold and don't feel like doing anything else? exactly.
(cute hak to soothe the soul. credit!)
1. How long have you been in fandom?
as an active participant I'd say 2010? before that I had friends in fandoms and frequented online communities with a strong fandom presence, but I didn't really get the fan bug until I got into kpop. as a teen I'd go "I don't get feeling that strongly about celebrities but happy for you all, I wish that were me" and now look at me lol
2. Which fandoms are you in now?
again, how active are we talking? I'm active in the tbz fandom these days, and the kpop fandom at large (?), but I'm also really into yellowjackets and critical role, just not fandom-ing there. since I barely have the energy to exist in one space, and since I curate my fandom experience so carefully, I end up just removing myself entirely from some fandoms. I'm only there in spirit!
3. Do you create transformative works (fic, fan art, podfic, etc.)?
fic! I wish I could fanart but I'm tons of practice away from making anything good or worth sharing. (these days I've been daydreaming about getting a drawing tablet...)
4. What was your first fandom?
technically, I was a big harry potter fan as a kid/preteen but didn't have good enough internet to really even know what a fandom was, and that continued on even as I got into other things. I only understood the #fan thing when I got into super junior, so I think of the elf fandom as my first fandom experience.
5. How often has fic made you cry?
not super often (I don't cry easily, I don't read much longfic, etc) but then again when I cry with fic it's like, BAWLING.
6. Rec a fic that you love!
I used to keep track of my favorites in my carrd but honestly there's been new ones that have been hitting hard lately. love like gardenia blooms by matchasoy is an example. love is so real, folks!!!
7. Who's your ult OTP?
right now, I'd say it's milbbang! yes, I know I've been on a juric high, but can you blame me?! aside from milbbang and tbz ships in general, I do really love widomauk (caleb/molly from critical role, no we don't need to talk about the implications, I'm FINE), and I think I'll always have a sweet spot for keonwoong... honorable mentions: msr (mulder/scully), moonsun (moonbyul/solar), villaneve (villanelle/eve), gellmore (paris/rory), and no, I don't even marvel, but stucky (bucky/steve).
8. Share a pic that would convince someone to fall for your current fandom!
I don't need to convince anyone because I think most people following me here already like tbz but let's all use this opportunity to appreciate the art one more time:
9. Have you ever met a fandom friend IRL?
yes! when I attended the mubank concert I met a handful of fandom friends <3 from the top of my head that was the only time, though.
10. What's the last fandom merch or craft you got?
in one of those classic "I can't afford this but fuck it, I need the serotonin" episodes, I tried a proxy service for the first time and got 3 tbz albums ("breaking dawn", "tattoo", and "bloom bloom") and a couple of eric pcs lol I like buying albums when I can afford them, and pcs whenever the mood strikes and my wallet allows.
11. Rare pairs, big ships, or gen?
I'm not big on genfics (just not in the habit, nothing against it) but any ships are cool with me! popularity doesn't usually affect my favorites/notps, it might just influence how often I read/write that ship, but not how much I love it. that being said, I like to read/write a number of different ships, so yeah that invariably means lots of rare pairs...
12. Are you multi-fandom or mono-fannish?
mono-fannish for the most part! I'm always into more than one thing at once, I just like to be Really Focused on something or a couple of somethings. for example, I've been bingewatching criminal minds and I'm in LOVE with reid's character, but that's still a secondary thought to me in relation to my main fandom. sorry, spencer!!
13. When did you last travel for a con, concert, fanmeet, or cupsleeve event?
february, so... 9 months ago? I got to see the oneus' concert + attend the high five event <3 fun fact, before that it had been over 4 years since my last fandom-related event (a wynonna earp pocket event) and my last live concert, both in 2018 :')
14. How did you get into your current fandom?
a friend said she didn't have anyone to watch tbz stuff with so I said ok sure, show me these boyz lol I was very amused with the vlives she showed me, "tattoo" hooked me in, and the "reveal" stages sealed the deal.
15. What's your favorite trope?
FRIENDS TO LOVERS!!! clearly. also big fan of pining, fake dating, hurt/comfort...
16. What are 3 tags that will make you click no matter what?
I can't think of a third?! but canon compliant and friends to lovers will always draw me in. I guess any tag that alludes to mental health/mental illness themes usually makes me curious to give it a try too.
17. Fav fest you've prompted/read/written for?
I don't know about favorite overall because I usually have a lot of fun joining fests in general, but I'll say that more recently I was happy with the prompts I submitted for eric fest. a few of them have been claimed too so!!! I'm excited!!! and as a reader djf is always a blast, the tbzverse round was great.
18. Share an upcoming fest you're excited about!
again, eric fest because of the prompts I submitted and because I've also joined... and I'm hoping djf will come back at some point, I couldn't join last time but would love to do it next time.
19. What's your favorite episode, song, moment, etc. from your current fandom?
right now I'm vibing to "lighthouse" and "savior" and just dreaming about the new performances we might get in the concert. although now with hak injured I'm HEARTBROKEN that we won't get him performing with the unit, if that performance happens :( I was looking forward to that stage the most...
20. Tag three fandom friends!
I never tag people but if you see this and feel like doing it, consider yourself tagged!
