#ive been involved in fandom since i was like 10 years old

Tbh as someone who has been in fandom for most of my life, i have noticed that a lot of fandoms start heavily shipping based and with time that becomes more of a background thing for familial relationships and actual friendships…also people in the shipping based fandoms don’t know how to reblog anything that isn’t ship related and THAT…..THAT stresses me out
