Bandom people: JESUS CHRIST. I have never been so happy that I'm not emotionally invested in Panic! fandom, because that is some vicious wank going on, and I want no part of it. Not to mention (at the risk of contributing to the wank myself) that there's always been something weirdly cabal-ish about parts of that subfandom. I don't know, it's a lot like Vegas itself; a great place to visit, if you can ignore the people advertising hookers on street corners, but not somewhere I'd want to live. 

Ha! See me get all metaphorical and such. Next thing you know I'll buy the most hideous Clandestine hoodie out there and wear it unironically.


I'm honestly surprised, because I've never seen pairing competitiveness get so serious before. It's usually practically a joke! People on my flist in Panic! fandom, I'm not asking you to take sides, but is this as crazy as it seems or is it being overexaggerated in report?


I THINK LYNZ WANTS TO WEIGH IN ON THIS ISSUE

Or maybe I just have a fetish for people in bands flipping me off. I have already mentioned this, yes?

I ♥ bandom.

I love my fandom. 

I love the fic, cracktastic and thoughtfully literary and everything between and beyond. 

I love the picspams, the music videos, all the visual and audio and written brilliance.

Yes, this includes the macros. What is a fandom without macros? Boring, that's what.

I love the fans, authors and non, who are almost universally friendly and welcoming and work so damned hard to make fandom fun for everyone. 

I love the lack of elitism. 

I love that, when there is wank, it only manages to make us stronger.

I love how much we pwn the haters.

I love the music, and the way it unites people stronger than any other fandom I've ever seen, the way it literally touches hearts.

I love that "concert" starts with the same letters as "convention", and serves roughly the same purpose, while being infinitely more fun and entertaining and meaningful to people.

I love the musicians, I love their open hearts and amazing efforts to make the world a better place any way they can.


I love my fandom. If you're sick of hearing about it, feel free to defriend now; there will be many regrets, but no hard feelings.
