The older i get the more i yearn for fandom community and culture not fandom content
I want forums and group chats, I want to talk to people and make friends. When I have a lot of energy I want to talk to people on tumbr about my ideas and when I'm low on energy i want to have a handful of fandom friends I can text shitposts to
Tumblr feels like shouting into the void and sometimes that's good but more often then not i think I want to chat with the void over tea
One easy way to do that is making more irl nerdy friends (something I try to do every time i go to a con) but I'm not so sure how to do it online
I'm much more introverted online than I am irl and I always feel weird asking people online for stuff like their discord name (Not to mention I don't really use discord so ideally I'd prefer to ask people for their whatsapp number which would probably seem even weirder)
I guess I want more fandom friends instead of followers
