#fandom?

But I am hoping, with more exposure, I’ll deepen my respect and appreciation for other characters and be more willing to read things out of my immediate fixation.

I know I shouldn’t feel bad but like yeah… again, aside from the Jewishness exploration (which is filled with love for my community), I’m really into the homoeroticism of these characters lmao. The complexities and nuances and characterisations that can come from the decades of writing behind these men just fuels my desire to see more queerness amongst these three specifically. I know I’m not alone or definitely not the first queer male to engage like this, obviously (reading the dissertations on the queer iconry of Batman and Robin - which has been a thing for forever)… but like

Still.

I kinda also just miss reading because the actual STORIES fascinate me, not just the characters lol.

Honestly, I wasn't in fandom for a long time, just a few years starting around 2019. I think because of COVID hitting, it became much more important to me than if all of that shit hadn't gone down. I absolutely needed an escape with trying to teach and the lockdowns and during the onset of COVID and what not. I think that's why fandom became so important to me.

I think the main thing I miss is just the camaraderie, the friendships, the community. I think people are dipping because the MCU is so different now without some of the big names who left or are on their way out. But I'm sure there are a multitude of reasons why it's so different now. I know I'm detached from it and have been for a bit, but every time I come on here I don't see all the interaction and people I used to. It makes me sad.

Liegt das an der Plattform?
