I love fandom because each time you discover a new one, it’s like discovering a new secret civilization with its own code of conduct, art, history, economy, and little obscure nooks and crannies
“This exists?“ I think to myself. “This has always existed? While I’ve been going about my normal everyday life, this complex culture of collectible miniature Discworld models/Shaenon Garrity webcomic message-boards/seventies porn Colin jokes/etc. has always existed, has been whirring and ticking and growing and merging and splitting and creating meaningful experiences and interactions and friendships and discussions and debates and creations?”
Our world is filled with infinite worlds, which themselves contain worlds. And that’s so awesome.
