I've closed my tabs and logged out of tumblr for what I suppose will be the last time.

I spent a decade on that site. It was my news, my social life, and my fandom hub.

Probably, I gave more of myself to it than I should have, really. But in return, I got so many things that I can't imagine finding anywhere else.

I don't know what I feel.

But, it is the dawn of a new day.


(The joke: it's the middle of the night in my time zone)

It's a new day indeed! This is such a weird time. I am... very uncertain of the DW format. I'm so used to Tumblr, dA, and Facebook. Those have been my social media platforms pretty much forever.

But at the same time... that's kind of the exciting thing here, isn't it? Exploring a new website, with a new type content. I'm going to continue to monitor alternatives--honestly, I'm also dropping off Facebook and dA if I can, so I'm about to have big holes in my browsing activities--but I think I can make this my central hub.

... although a big problem here is that, uh, my fandom is only active among teenage antis on tumblr. So. Gotta fix that! If I have to chase people down and cram this musical down their throats, I mcfuckin will.

Oh! I've seen you talk about Homestuck before and in these comments, but, what other fandoms are you in/could get into?

Wait, why do you think the new Shera's badly written? I haven't checked it out yet, but I'm curious.

Oh my Gosh, I love all of that, but I... gotta ask: I've been an MLP fan for a pretty long time, but somehow missed whatever you're referring to with Chatoyance. Do you have any references I could look up, to find out what happened? I'm intensely fascinated.

ooooh, Keijo!!! :3

I remember some people had a conniption fit over the premise, but I thought it was a rather funny subversion of the shounen power-up trope. such a shame the manga was cancelled and there won't be a second season of the anime.

Sorry to butt in here, I'm nosy curious. What musical are we talking about? I like to think I like musicals, even if my favorites are scattered all over the genre map.

Be More Chill! It's... really, REALLY fun, but I admittedly don't have a whole lot of musical experiences--yet. While it's absolutely my main fandom, I've been slowly checking out others recommended by other fans.

Huh, I actually had no idea Be More Chill was a musical. I assumed it was another Netflix thing that popped up when I wasn't paying attention... Guess that's what happens when I'm consistently year(s) late to musicals.

Either way, I'd be happy to talk more about it! Just probably in messages, so we aren't clogging up zenolaila's post here.

PM is up to you! As Zeno just said it was okay, I'm happy either way. :3

I really, really, highly recommend giving the OST a listen, and then, if you like it, checking out stuff about the Off Broadway version. They'll be On-Broadway soon, and... man, even though I prefer the vocals (and a lot of the cast) of the OST, they've improved everything about the show in so many wonderful ways.

This is my first time really caring about a musical--like, to the extent I am, anyway. I liked some movie versions of stuff like Chicago, I really REALLY like the Hamilton soundtrack, Heathers and Dear Evan Hansen is AWESOME, etc, but. I've never truly cared about a musical enough to keep up with the behind-the-scenes and the actual fandom like I am now.

So this is all just so new and exciting for me, haha.

I've been a musical person since basically ever because I had the sheer dumb luck to have the combination of 1) living close enough to NYC that it's an easy day trip and 2) having a grandmother who allocates basically her Entire 'fun' budget to going to shows and taking people to shows, and who 3) is a goddamn master of TKTS, which is Broadway's "we'll sell the seats that didn't get sold for today at 30-50% off just to fill those extra seats" thing.

Of course, that also means I'm usually years late to the big name shows, because those never have open seats on the discount lines until they hit the Phantom of the Opera/Les Miserables/The Producers point where they've been running for years.

Also means I tend to get blindsided by fandoms popping up. I'm still confused over why Newsies got a sudden popularity boost 1-2 years ago.
