Okay, so fandoms..

Good Day friends,

How are you today? Sounds good.
For today I just wanted a simple chat with you, a little one on one, and I mean this in the least creepy way possible.
So fandoms. There are so many out there and there is certainly one for everyone and everything.
An official definition for what I'm talking about now is:
'the fans of a particular person, team, fictional series etc. regarded collectively as a community or subculture.'
Also if you've never heard of these fandoms and haven't been sucked in yet, please just run, run and never look back at this world.

I am part of quite a few of these fandoms including:
'The Merlinians' (or as I like to call us 'Dollop Heads') - Fans of the BBC TV series Merlin
'The Phandom' (or as I usually say 'Human Trash Cans') - Fans of Dan and Phil
'The Young Bloods' - Fans of Fall Out Boy
and
'The Whovians' - Fans of Doctor Who

Normally I think that Fandoms are a great thing, they allow for everyone who enjoys the same thing
to join together (in an introverted and safe way) and create lovely and happy edits or fanfictions.

Having these different fandoms make it a lot easier to find a community that you like and not feel completely weird whilst fan girling in a way that you never would in a normal situation.

But I do sometimes feel like there are a few bad sides to all of these groups. There is already some tension between people on the internet and when arguments between the different groups occur, there can be some serious casualties. Also sometimes there can be shaming between the different groups.

An example of this is the amount of people who think that all of the phandom are overprotective of Dan and Phil and that we will get really aggressive if someone doesn't ship Dan and Phil together. This ,for most people in the phandom, is totally not true and the people are mostly so understanding. And also not everyone in the phandom ships them together, and that is fine.

I'd love to hear about some fandoms that I've never heard of, so please do leave a comment on what fandoms you are part of..

Just a simple small post for now but I have a new film review for you soon, especially now that 'Miss Peregrines home for peculiar children' is out on DVD.

Good Bye for now x
