DONT DO THIS TO ME. DONT FUCKING DO THIS TO ME. SEEING ANY FAN ART FOR THIS MAN IS A HYPERFIXATION RATATOUILLE

DON’T DO THIS TO ME. DON’T FUCKING DO THIS TO ME. SEEING ANY FAN ART FOR THIS MAN IS A HYPERFIXATION RATATOUILLE MOMENT. I WILL LOOSE MY MIND. I WILL BECOME INSUFFERABLE. WHY IS HE LOOKING DIRECTLY INTO MY EYES LIKE THAT.

reblog and put in the tags the fandom with least people you've been in (it counts as a fandom if its just you in it)

addendums: cult classic tv overlaps with early supernatural seasons somewhat, i am aware, just choose based on the cultural context in which you read your first fic.

for weeaboo crew i was thinking of examples like hetalia, black butler, soul eater, etc--popular anime absolutely included but the distinction is that people who were into dragon ball weren't necessarily going to anime club every week and making deviantart stamps about yaoi, but people into ouran high school host club ABSOLUTELY were.

homestuck is in its own category because homestuck changed fandom forever at a critical time which just happened to be when i was growing up in fandom. harry potter, lotr, star wars, and twilight are in their own categories because they were such multimedia juggernauts they had entire archives dedicated solely and only to their fic that spanned multiple franchise reboots (books -> movies -> extended universes). (i acknowledge star trek technically would fit under this but at the time culturally it had more overlap with other cult classic tv fandoms.)

honorable mentions that didn't make it to the list because i had to pick-and-choose with the 12 answer limit: the final fantasy franchise (axed because i am not familiar enough with the fic scene to know if it was as iconic of a gateway drug as, like, naruto or twilight or star wars fic), a general YA lit category (YA lit outside of twilight only went mainstream slightly after this time period), the MCU (i have a hate boner for the MCU), a broader "american superhero comics" category (this would be valid as an option but i don't have the space)

WHEN I TELL YOU I FUCKING C H O K E D-

@animate-mush Your kissing question got me curious and I made an ms paint chart hopefully involving everything recorded. Kisses that are not having blood drinking intent (unless you count the Count's June 29 blown kiss to Jonathan as a promise for later tonight).

It seems like the real craven seductress is Van Helsing Van Helsing gets his hand kissed by the most people. In one scene he gets both hands kissed by the Harkers at the same time. Jack is the only one who gives nor receives any, even the journal gets kissed. I put the one Mina gives to the exhausted Jonathan at the hospital as unspecified location, but I personally assume it was on the lips, since they are engaged. Lucy and Mina kiss Quincey at an unspecified location on their first written interactions, but given the etiquette, it is likely on the cheek. Other fun fact, whenever the Harkers kiss mutually Jonathan takes Mina in his arms.

I hate how my parents and I recommend books and shows to each other- not for a serious reason, but because there will be things like Persona 5 and The Great Ace attorney that I KNOW they'd love if only they weren't video games. Like, I know you will love this story. I know you will love these characters. But It is impossible to get anyone over 40 with a salary to play a video game. And the p5 anime sucks ass.

I wish there was an anime adaptation (A GOOD ONE) for the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. Please. My mom will love the mystery and My dad will love Herlock sholmes, he's basically the 11th doctor. PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU.

I want to know why the goddesses considered a mortal's opinion the end-all-be-all anyway. Especially PARIS's opinion. Man has a negative amount of braincells.
