*has a thought at 1am* magical girl anime is to yuri what sports anime is to yaoi

Are you a sports manga because you’re gay? Or are you gay because you’re a sports manga?

There is media that you consume.

And then there is media that consumes you.

Fun fact about me is that this is my laptop wallpaper:

and this is my Google Chrome background:

So for like a week after Ice Adolescence was cancelled, I was haunted by Victor and Yuri every time I opened my laptop. It made me so happy 😐.

I don’t talk much about Yuri on Ice here, but it was one of my most memorable fandoms and also what got me into fanfiction.

I joined the fandom a bit late, at post-episode 9, but the show was still airing then at least. And the fandom was crazy. After every new episode, you’d immediately see every scene in gifs. And this was before the Tumblr porn ban, so there were much more active users.

Every post on my dash would be about Yuri on Ice, and there was just so much interaction between different fans. One of the most popular YOI fanfics even developed a fandom of its own. The writer’s entire Tumblr blog was practically full of asks from their readers. I myself had a yoi-centric blog.

Honestly, I don’t really miss YOI, having found new different stories that I fell more in love with. And I’ve long moved on from the fandom as well.

What I do miss, though, is the kind of fandom activity it had that I don’t really see much here on Tumbr anymore. People reblogged more. Fanfic readers interacted with writers. Gifmakers everywhere. It was… just so alive, you know?

Later, I deleted my Tumblr account to focus on college. It wasn’t until late 2019 that I came back here, but I wasn’t really active then. It was just so quiet here...

Then in 2022, my desire to be part of a Tumblr fandom was rekindled. Blue Lock had just started airing, and I was invested. I came here on Tumblr, hoping to see the kind of energy I once saw in the YOI fandom but… there was none. Posts about it were few, and I didn’t often see gifs after each ep… I created @fyeahbachisagi to help fill in this gap in the fandom, but when I just started, it was honestly like me talking at a wall...

Fandom culture has changed so much since YOI’s time. You can still find joy, of course, but it’s just so much more different now...
