repeated joys

[schmerica]

Remember how I was saying earlier about how picspam makes everything better? kristiinthedark is proving my point as we speak with her Callum picspam. Focusing on his PRETTY moments, as opposed to the equally hot rugged manly Callum. Make sure to look through the comments, too, because people contributed!

One of the things that is really *so* interesting to me about fandom is that, you know, for most of us, this is all stuff we know already, stuff we've seen before, conversations we've had already -- and yet, it doesn't get old. Or if it does, it takes a long while. I mean, yes, picspams are great when you are getting into a fandom, because SQUEE IT IS ALL NEW, but ... man, the pleasures of going over the same thing with your equally obsessed friends over and over again is not to be discounted. (See the panel at Muskrat Jamboree where we all did nothing but cry out really gay moments from due South! Not one original thing was said, but it was one of the awesomest parts of the entire con.)

Secondly, I think all of you need a T-shirt that not only shows you have awesome taste in comic books, but also that you like guys making out. Achilles and Patroklus, everybody!

You were seriously the first person I thought of when I saw it. "Nawww, Vic's OTP!"

That makes me happy. *g*

You know, it really was. I got a lump in my throat at least once during that panel, just because of sheer happiness. Because you're right, it doesn't get old. Good thing for me. *g*

When it *does* start to get old, it's kind of its own little tragedy, too. The day I get sick of discussing to death these little details is the day when I've lost the fandom, you know?

I know exactly what you mean. *cough*smallville*cough*

Ahahahaha, EXACTLY the fandom I was thinking about, too! Seriously, I flirt around all over the place, but I only have one true love at a time, and before due South it was Smallville, but ... it was a bad, bad break-up. This summer is actually the first time I can imagine rewatching even my favorite s1 eps without cringing.

Dude, I didn't even know what the fuck you guys were referring to, and it still made me happy. If you could bottle all the glee in that room at that time, we could eliminate at least 43% of petty fannish wars!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

That is an impressive percentage!

Callum. Pretty. I'm not sure I have anything more coherent to say actually.

What else do you *need*, really?
