Love Letter to the ToA Fandom
(Don't panic, it's a good one :D)
wrote all this just now and wanted to share...
I gotta say. I fucking LOVE the ToA fandom. As much as I love the series (which is A Lot).
And I don’t say this lightly. I’ve been in many fandom spaces (Harry Potter, Star Wars, Warriors, Percy Jackson, ect.) but this one??? THIS ONE???
THIS ONE I LOVE THE MOST
Wanna know why?
It’s because we chill. We just chill. We draw, write, and scream (happily) over the previous two things, as well as headcanons/theories. We collaborate and cheer each other on. We’re all united in our love for our #1, Lester Papadopoulos - aka, Apollo.
And when I look back at the other fandoms I’ve been in…it’s pretty obvious why ToA leaves them in the dust.
I haven’t been an active presence in the ToA fandom for even a year, yet I haven’t experienced a SINGLE ARGUMENT. which is. mindboggling.
Fandoms usually can’t go A WEEK (if they restrain themselves) without SOME KIND OF DISCOURSE.
But ToA? Nah. We say “lol, Apollo would’ve gladly followed Commodus if he’d just flirted with him a bit” and the rest of us go “LMAO HE WOULD” and that’s that.
No “BUT THEY’RE SO TOXIC!” or anything like that.
Like yeah. Sure. That's all true. But that’s what makes it so fun :) But we obviously don’t condone it. We ship them because they make us FEEL THINGS and they DRIVE US INSANE.
We're all insane and we all Do Not Care :)
I feel a lot more comfortable discussing more, I guess you could say, taboo topics in this fandom — probably because such topics are already part of the actual mythology so it's pretty hard to avoid them XD. I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s seen how discourse can go over these things.
Like even over in the PJO fandom, the cousin to our own, there is STILL DISCOURSE and ridiculous arguments going on!
sniff sniff
It’s just SUCH A GREAT FANDOM SPACE SMMMFF YOU ALL ARE AMAZING
