Fandom Meme! 1 & 2
Jul. 6th, 2021 11:48 amI just couldn’t resist this fandom meme when ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
thisbluespirit posted it, so I’ve stolen it for myself. I’m doing the first two questions together because they are basically the same answer.
1. What's changed about your fandom life in the last 365 days?
MUCH AGAINST MY WILL I have fallen in Charioteer fandom, by which I mean mostly reading selections from the book over and over, although I’ve also dabbled my toes in the fic.
I was just rereading the part where Laurie first tells Ralph about Andrew, and he’s explaining to Ralph why he just can’t let Andrew know ever about his feelings for him even though he’s pretty sure Andrew is queer too and just hasn’t realized it yet; and Ralph is all, “You’ll meet him again in a few years and he’s going to have a boyfriend,” and Laurie is VERY hurt…
Anyway, it just occurred to me that Ralph is commenting bitterly on his own situation with Laurie. He too! held back from telling the boy he loved (Laurie) about his feelings because he had some idea about protecting Laurie’s innocence, and here Laurie is! a few years later! with a boyfriend. Sort of.
2. Your newest fandom.
See above!
