some people act like its so embarassing to be into fandom as a woman in your 40s and 50s but suddenly embrace it when a 60 year old lady is really into spirk or whatever... its weird. realistically all the people who wrote those pillars-of-the-community masterworks in the 2000s are floating around someone in that age bracket now...... same goes for all of those who kept this or that show on air in the 90s, running forums like the navy... not to mention all the women who discovered this stuff late and are experiencing a new lease of life. how can u not find that kind of beautiful? i support u, middle-aged women of tumblr and ao3....

This is an awesome use of what is probably a master's degree if not a doctorate and I am 100% thrilled that she shared it even though it was embarrassing and she squeaked.

i love making friends in fandom, i love playing with our toys together, i love coming up with increasingly niche aus, i love lifting strangers up, i love motivating people to create, i love watching someone get excited over an idea and immediately running with it, i love yelling in tags together, i love seeing someone gain confidence in their writing/art because people were kind to them <33
