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)

Rest in peace Tina my Tina I dreaded this day was coming and now it is here... Aunty Entity has gone on to the Thunderdom after 83 years you will be missed but Never forgotten.!!

Beloved Tina you will be missed but NEVER FORGOTTEN!!

Love this woman, I dreaded the thought of this day, and now it has come to be sigh... Still Simply The Best, My Golden Eye, and Who Needs another Hero!!

I just had to take a step back because being a Tae fan in this chapter is wild.

Because Layover. My heart. The songs, his voice, the aesthetic, the vibe. That little spritely blond prince laughing and splashing around Spain. (When he's not crooning in gold sequins in a cave). And so it's like, okay. This is Solo Tae. I love it.

(And let's just skip over all the distinct live performances where Tae really said "call me just a visual" with his whole chest)

But then, Love Wins All out of nowhere. Just decided to star as the most endearing romantic lead in the most breathtaking cinematic music video for one of the most beloved singers in the country. And just ate it up. The chemistry, the acting. Had everyone gasping and crying and begging for more. Like it was a full scale shock to the system.

And then like 20 minutes later we get Fri(end)s. The song is amazing. His vocals just keep getting better somehow. He looks amazing. The music video is pretty and quirky and queer in all the best ways.

And then he has the absolute nerve to just randomly pop up on the internet BUFF and dancing hip hop.

This is the same person in less then a year. And it's not even everything. (See: interning in Mexico, blowing up a coffee chain with a Wes Anderson style commercial and hanging out with Jackie Chan in a velvet suit).

He's such a fascinating person.

I couldn’t have said it better!! He’s so multifaceted and it’s so fun to admire a person like him, he always has something to offer and to show you. Always giving his best in everything he does.

I hope he keeps exploring and keeps doing things that make him happy, because you can just tell every single thing he did during chapter 2 was something he always wanted to do. And the fact that he gave his input everywhere, I don’t know how to explain but it’s so refreshing to see someone genuinely loving what he does.

Barbie (Barbara's “Face„) from Shadows house in comparison with Malachai Boardman from Children of The Corn.

Barbie's brute and violent nature just remind me so much of Malachai, their hair looks somewhat the same to me too lol (except for the color)

Overall, the anime is interesting and has a great concept, I recommend the manga for more context :))

bestie’s meet cute

ok so whenever I hear about people’s cute and sometimes hilarious first meeting with their bestie i start to wonder why my meet cute with my bestie wasn’t this… well, cute but the I remember I had low-key (the low-keyest of low-key’s) manipulated her into becoming bffs which honestly Isn’t as bad as it sounds since she got a ride or die bff and got someone to rant with (also ride or die)

Now that I think about it all of my significant friendships began when I saw someone and thought oh yes this one’s perfect and latched onto them like a fungus
