my favourite fandoms of the decade

i’ve been through a lot of fandoms, and i’m not super active in all of them anymore, but i wanted to acknowledge the ones that have been a big part of my life over the last 10 years (the first decade that i really started strongly interacting with anything other than disney channel ;)) )

so, in chronologicalish order:

percy jackson/rick riordan in general: does anyone else remember those “demigod posts” where it had like a different font/colour for each character, and they’d have short conversations in reply to a question? yeah those were what got me into tumblr lol

harry potter: i didn’t read/watch this until 2011 i think? but once i did there was absolutely no going back.

once upon a time: this was the first (again, non-disney channel) tv show that i started to avidly watch, and actually wait for the new episode/season to come out. i definitely liked the older seasons better, and i still haven’t actually finished season 7 (oops)(my dad and i restarted the season together so i’ll get there), but it was sort of the first tv show that i started caring about. even visited storybrooke—once just on a trip, and once to watch them film the finale!

one direction: ah, memories of elementary (middle in other areas?) school. one time our music teacher played “what makes you beautiful” when we were waiting for the bell to ring, and every single girl in my class crowded around the speaker for harry’s solo.

house md: my parents and i started watching this on netflix, and i thought it was amazing from the beginning. they didn’t love it as much as i did, but we watched the whole thing. this is around the time that i had started seriously thinking about going into medicine, and it was really cool to learn about some of the rarer diseases (with varying levels of accuracy).

booktube: not really a fandom, but when i discovered this, it really changed the game for me lol. i still follow the same booktubers as i did when i was younger, although i’ve added some more.

doctor who: my dad and i started watching this together when it was on netflix, and i misS it. we didn’t finish it before they took it off, and haven’t found another way to watch it, so we’re just sort of in limbo. regardless, i loved it.

supernatural: probably is and always will be my biggest fandom. not only is the show amazing, but it led me and my best friend to become as close as we did. i went to a convention in 2018 and met jensen, jared, misha, brianna, alex, rob, and ruth in person, and this is probably one of my best memories of the 2010s. i watched it through all of high school, and its ending at the end of my first year of university, so i guess it will have come full circle :’)

the infernal devices: oh my god. will hero dale. just. i’ve read this series so many times, and it always hurts me (but also brings me so much joy). this is usually the first thing i read every year, but i’m not sure if it will be this time, because i won’t have the hours a day to devote to it that i tend to need.

nick jonas: i already knew him from disney obviously, but i got reintroduced to my love for him in 2016, when him and demi went on tour, and he did a bunch of press that showed up in my youtube recommendations lol. then he did jumanji in 2017, and i just sort of remembered 2007 when miley was in love with him, and i was by default bc i wanted to be just like her. anyway, more about him later.

marvel: i don’t entirely know when i started watching marvel movies; i think it was just after civil war war released. i used to know absolutely nothing, and i started out by only watching the things chris hemsworth was in, but now i’m definitely invested. am i beyond excited for the falcon and the winter soldier? um, yes.

one chicago: i think this is probably the fandom i devote the most time to on tumblr, so y’all probably aren’t that surprised haha. i started watching chicago fire after house ended, because of jesse spencer, and i continued on to pd, med, and that one season of justice. in all honesty, this isn’t my favourite series and i have a lot of problems with it, but i care deeply about just enough of the characters and actors to continue to be invested in it. connor leaving was a blow, but i’m still going (for now) (if jay does then idk i may be out of pd)

the greatest showman: i’m still in love with this movie. i remember finding out like a year before it was released that sac efron was going to be in another musical, and my high school musical obsessed childhood felt that. the movie is incredible, and i love the soundtrack, and yeah. amazing.

joe jonas: again, i already knew him from disney, but i fell into a rabbit hole that i never came out of when he was on the voice as adam’s advisor and i had to educate my mom on him. then he was a coach on the voice australia, and then i watched all of his dnce interviews. again, more on him later.

5 seconds of summer: i remember randomly getting recommended the video of them talking about their tattoos. i obviously watched it, because i don’t have self control, and here i am. i haven’t mentioned it a ton here but i love 5sos.

panic! at the disco: i didn’t start listening to them until fall 2018, but my friend is a big fan and gave me a quick crash course. just over a year later and here i am, completely trash for brendon urie. shoutout to my profile pic lol.

the haunting of hill house: omg, this show. i highly recommend it. i don’t even really watch horror shows or movies or anything, but i love it so much. my friend and i have rewatched it together multiple times, and i’m so excited for the second season (although it’s in like a different universe lol)

harry styles/louis tomlinson/niall horan: i think this might have happened earlier, but i’m not quite sure when. all i know is that i was suddenly a big big fan of all of their solo stuff, and now i watch all their interviews. good stuff. fine line is amazing.

jonas brothers: i liked the jonas brothers when i was younger, but i was also confused by them (long story short, i thought they were fictional for awhile because the first time i ever saw them was hannah montana), and quite young, so i wasn’t able to get quite to the level of obsession that i started to get with other things later on (aka everything i just mentioned in this list). but fun fact: about halfway through february 2019, i rewarched all of the nick jonas press from jumanji, and then all of his interviews, all the joe jonas stuff, and then old jonas brothers interviews (we had about a week off of school bc of snow, so that’s how i spent it lol). then a week later, there were a ton of rumours about them reuniting, which, yes, i told everyone i knew about. thEn i think it was a week after that? a few days? anyway they officially announced their reunion and i haven’t been the same since. i’ve seen all of their interviews too many times, watched chasing happiness with my friend the day it came out, and many, many times since then. the album came out the day before my birthday, and i had a jb cake. nick jonas is going to be on the voice next month and i can’t handle it. their memoir is being released in march. i think the jonas brothers are one of the biggest contributing factors to my gpa being where it is right now. yes, they were my most listened to artist on spotify in 2019.

thanks to anyone who read all of that lol! here’s to a fantastic 2020 👌
