I think Fandom is easy to engage with if you were there from the start, or early on. It feels less far removed when you're there for some ridiculous OOC headacanons etc. Its like you said, when you obsess for a long time you def do the thing and it's somewhat far removed from the outside. But when you were there, it feels less so!

The Headcanon became canon collective over time, so newbies are like 'wut' but you're like 'yeah.' IDK. TL:DR i agree and its easier when you're there early on b/c it builds around you.

yeah!! you're right.

I'm usually into things pretty late, so it's really hard. i was lucky to have gotten into homestuck around 2016 so things were still pretty fresh! but i assume anybody getting into it nowadays probably has the same experiences as me trying to get into the magnus archives fandom or the invader zim fandom (one of my favorite cartoons since i was like 15 btw). theres So Much Stuff and man i am just bouncing around.
