Oh yeah, ha ha, I totally get that. I TOTALLY GET IT. I would always MUCH RATHER be friends with the creators of stuff that I like, than be a Big Name Fan, or something. I’m very interested in the type of person that makes Things I Like.

20. sovami said: ee yeah i share a lot of this sentiment, i do like observing but i can’t fully understand. i can only ever manage to feel that way about the work of people i have interacted with and it is oddly alienating (not so much bothersome, just A Thing).

26. ginchface said: It’s okay. Fandoms are actually The Worst. Not like being a fan of something, but being in The Fandom is something like being in a cult that takes up all your time and creative process. Shit bores me, man.

45. dinolich said: Fandom sounds tiring and expensive. I’d rather just be a fan. I like watching and reading things and if something really tickles my fancy I’ll draw or cosplay something. Plus, the people I know IRL involved in fandoms are all a bunch of wads.
46. alexdotexe said: it’s … yeah, from my experience years ago fandoms aren’t really worth it if you have own intellectual properties, but there’s still a feeling of exclusion and there’s not really a solution to it … so … non-fandom fandom buddies?
