The dp thing is more cause it has a lot of potential for horror and things. XD i think about thirty % of the phandom haven’t even watched the show.

asjkndfsd yeah that's a v fair point and I'm also amused by your estimate of how many people haven't watched the show yet participate in the fandom surrounding it

my roommate also suggested a while back when I complained about it (bc this is actually an ongoing thing with me lmao) that maybe more people of Tumblr age watched DP than ADJL when it came out, which I suppose is fair as well.

but idk man the lore in American Dragon: Jake Long is absolutely BUCK WILD. they went HAM with the urban fantasy and they did NOT need to go half as hard as they did with the worldbuilding. I personally feel like it's PERFECT material for fandom engagement

and YET

#also Prince Zuko voices Jake and Katara voices Jake's love interest #c'mon Zutara shippers why are you not raiding ADJL for audio clips of them being lovey dovey #(is it bc Jake talks like an adult's idea of a mid-2000s cool teenager? all right fair enough)#I understand the reasoning behind why ADJL isn't as big as DP in terms of fandom #but it still just. baffles me. THE GUY CAN TURN INTO A DRAGON.#I'm not actually angry about any of this btw I just like being outraged sometimes #and also yes I am genuinely confused somewhat but that's just bc I'm autistic I think #response #agent-jaselin
