one of my favorite things about fandom is that the exchange of intellectual and creative property is a legitimate form of gift giving. like ‘i’m so enchanted by you, i love you, let me tell you a story’
one of my favorite parts of bering and wells fandom “what a fantastic piece of art. let me write you a story” “what a marvelous story. let me make you some art for it” “i adore your post. let me flail eloquently in the tags” “your tags are amazing and deserve to be part of the post. let me add them as comments” “you made me get incredibly emotional. let me return the favor by making it worse” it’s like the loveliest and most appreciative game of fandom escalation i’ve ever had the privilege of participating in (via Rev)

#fandom is a magical place#fandom can’t ever die because you can’t kill an idea#something is always new to somebody and it will have seasons of harvest and fallow seasons but there’s always life#because there is love and when there’s love there is life#really I do have such feelings about fandom and how people from all over the world from all walks of life come together#people that wouldn’t otherwise meet but they have a common interest and then that leads to so much good#I mean yeah there can be a dark side too but that’s just life there can’t be light without shadows
