Oooo tysm!! Eeeee this is exciting!
✨️: My newest favorite character is Shelly from Dandy's World! I just think she's really cute and her being ignored by most people makes me want to comfort her and listen to her talk about dinosaurs! I also love how she tries to uplift everyone and inspire them regardless. It honestly just makes it that much more painful for me to see how despite her kindness towards others, she still gets forgotten like what the fuuuuck-
📺: I like to interact with beloved media in a variety of ways! I like to collect enamel pins of characters (or plushies but I'm very selective with what character I get a plush of)! I also like to draw fan art of my favorite characters/media though I honestly don't do it much due to not drawing often in general. Yumeshipping FOR SURE YES especially with characters I really like (I am too scared to draw yumeshipping but I really should lol).
Day dreaming is def what I do the most (to the point where I guess it goes from day dreaming to sleeping cause I usually close my eyes to focus on it. I will be real, I do this waaay too much). I don't really write fanfics but I have made ONE fanfic for one character in media. Other stuff I've written were just about my ocs with a few very indulgent stuff lol.
💫: Ooo this is a good question! I like the underdog archetype. I find it satisfying when they get the recognition they deserve, usually towards the end. I also relate heavily to misunderstood characters or characters who are forgotten/abandoned because I relate to them a lot with my own experiences and fears. I also love goofy henchmen who are dumb af but also lovable. Idk I find villian and henchmen relationships to be cute, especially when its clear that the villian cares about them. Like imagining them both making an "evil" pillow fort together or some shit lmao.
I love silly characters in general. I can't get enough of goofy cartoon antics!!
🎉: I prefer enjoying media with close friends but if im the only one who is interested in that media, I just interact with a few other people (primarily on Tumblr because of the ask system) with questions and comments and...prob rambling in tags lol.
Joining big fandoms stress me out and honestly with the amount of drama that goes on in EVERY fandom that gets big, you're better off just enjoying media with a few peeps- online or otherwise.
That's prob why if I do post fan art for any media that does have a large audience, I'd probably be too afraid to tag it with popular tags. Buuut idk at the same time, it is also nice to interact with others who like similar stuff as you with your art.
Whoops I rambled for too long. Ty for the ask! I really appreciate it! :D
