#another thing that scares me away from anime fandom specifically is the reputation some fandoms get

[greenvillainredemption]

I kinda worry sometimes that I’ll get into something and it’ll take over my Encanto hyperfixation/fandom motivation and momentum I’ve managed to keep up for almost a year now, but I think what really got me to create and interact with people in this fandom was the timing. I watched it on the second of January or something, and that was like a week or so after it had just dropped on Disney+ and at the point I watched it, it was trending on tumblr and everything. Idk there was just so much happening that it was super easy to just jump in and be a new person in the fandom because everyone was a new person in the fandom.

I talk about anime and horror sometimes on here which are other things I love, I’ve just never super duper analyzed any particular theme or character, or talked directly to people in the fandoms, or wrote fics, y’know? Like I’ll just casually scroll and rb, maybe make some fanart. But other than that it’s like I’m watching a community from outside. And yeah I’ll watch new anime as they’re airing and horror movies in the theatre and be super into them, but after years of just chillin from outside in both those communities I’m kinda comfy here.

That last part sounds kinda sad but it’s kinda me just realizing that I don’t have to be worried about some new thing taking over my life. I’m realizing also that a big reason I can let myself actually immerse myself and write fanfic too (which I’ve never done) is that it’s a kids movie. We’re all just here to have fun, the overall vibe of the fandom (at least my lil corner of it) is super supportive and wholesome and not taking anything super seriously.
