Project Hail Mary has single-handedly restored my faith in fandom
It’s just so refreshing and wonderful and the amount of positivity and whimsy is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before
Examples:
- It’s a beautiful platonic story, we often like to headcanon the main character as aroace because of the symbolism that entails, and yet we have fun shipping him with everyone under the sun (and the suns of other universes)(and one universe that doesn’t have any suns)
- the woman who doesn’t have an easily digestible, “friendly” personality is almost universally loved. The general lack of misogyny and the understanding for her (very reasonable) actions makes me so happy
- we’ve created a widely loved character based on a name, three mentions of said character, and a few patches of green rock on said character’s mate
- we’ve somehow merged fandoms with iron lung
-Coltland twins. Is it because many of us are retired gravity falls fans? Probably!
- We basically created a fandom for an extremely underrated movie (fall guy) and also merged it with this one
- There’s so little fighting among the fans! Almost everyone agrees that yes, we CAN have fun and go wild with headcanons! We can have fun doing whatever the hell we want and no one is going to tear anyone apart for it!
This is just based on what I’ve seen, of course, and of course there’s definitely SOME negativity because it’s impossible to have none, but it’s definitely one of the friendliest fandoms I’ve ever seen
