The is is SO me.
As much as I live watching and reading content (books, movies, shows) I love the way fandom engages with it more. To see the beautiful drawings, to read the fun headcannons, the dissertations and how fans pick apart and analyse every little detail about a thing. It makes me so happy, and when I like a content, reading fans' content augments that joy so much. So here's to you.
I keep meeting artists who complain that Tumblr Is Dead then when I check their blog they've made four posts in six months and all of them were self promo lmao. Influencers whining that "tumblr is useless for engagement" tells me every part of the problem, like sorry you can't just show up and farm this userbase for clicks by waving buzzwords around the way you can on tiktok. This is the Excited About Stupid Things website reblog some shitty fanart or die
