kept on singing love songs, just to break my own fall

cereta's asking why people love fandom. This naturally results in a post with a comment thread of joy and glee and all things good - and you should run over and add your own joy and glee to the bunch.

As for me, I love fandom, because it is a break away from my own mind; it's my safe-space, the place I go to be happy and silly and think differently and communicate and be able to be myself without repercussions or awkwardness. I love fandom.

I love my fandom because in my new one, boys actually are all over each other! They even kiss onstage! IT IS AWESOME. But I like fandom because it's reassurance that you're not completely out of your mind. Because if you are, so are a bunch of other people. HA.

I know you said to go over there, but I am not particularly comfortable commenting to people I don't know. So I thought I'd share with you. :D

Hee, it does sound incredibly awesome! And yeah, I get that from fandom as well. Though sometimes it does lead to me thinking everyone thinks like people in fandom, which has...interesting repercussions.

:D

It's pretty great. I usually remember that not EVERYONE is going to think 'omg they're gay' even if they ARE all snuggly with each other all the time.

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

well, I remember that. I just forget that normal people aren't as open to talking about sex, or as in touch with their perviness as people in fandom are ;)

[thewayout.livejournal.com]

LMAO NO. that is also true. I think it sucks some of the fun out of life.

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

It does! People should embrace their kinks! Embrace the perviness!

I need to start a campaign.

I think I may have spoiled you.

Speaking of fandom, I am absolutely adoring that icon of yours. Hercules, seriously. ♥.

Megara is bad ass, and you knows it!

(Also, yes, Hercules = massive love)

I love fandom because I can be myself wholly and utterly and no one is going to think I'm weird or a pervert or that I think strangely. Fandom has every kink known to man and embraces them along with the people who have them. The ultimate community.

I feel at ease here. You make me feel utterly and amazingly free and I love you. ♥ x infinity.

Same for me. You let me be myself and be absolutely honest about who I am, and I don't know what I did without you. ♥

Re: ♥

[lattara.livejournal.com]

Nor I without you.
