New fandom, pairing, trope, kink. Or non-fandom hobby. Whatever. Just wondering what your latest obsession or topic of choice is.

I'm kind of in a blank stage. Nothing is really catching my interest and holding it atm.

Arabs. Arab Fairy tales and fantasy I mean, Loving the crescent throne atm.

Overwatch. Trying to do competitive and not get too angry.I am only vaguely in the fandom (primarily Reaper76 fic).

I've recently gotten really big into it too (to the point the fandom friend who introduced me to it is probably tired of me talking about it), but I'm more into the lore and stuff. My computer lags too much for me to play comp, but I have a blast in the Arcade and QP.

I'm a support main, but I also really like Junkrat (I think he's adorable and funny, even if he's a villain) and D.Va (probably the only character I can consistently win with). Not much into the fandom either aside from reading the reddit and watching compilation vids of great/weird/funny plays.

I'm a Mercy main! Though, Symmetra, Junkrat, and Zenyatta are also ones I play heavily.

Warhammer 40k. Rogue One. Doctor Who (going to see the season premier in the theater). Tolkien. Those are the things I'm mostly into right now, with a side of MCU since the new Thor trailer came out.

I keeping trying to get into MCU but I've found I don't share the more common fandom opinions, so it's hard.

(What I really want is Fraction!Hawkeye dropped into the MCU.)

What are the common fandom opinions you don't agree with?

A lot of the characterization. But honestly the biggest thing is I cannot stand Tony Stark and the way most of the fandom seems to write him. Or any pairings with him.

Is ReySky considered a fandom? If so, THAT.

Star Wars from now till whenever.

Voltron. aaaah. Especially Klance, but Voltron in general too. And Pidge who is the best.

idk what happened man. I started watching it with my friend a few months ago, and it was fun but nbd, then about a month ago we watched the last few eps in S2 and suddenly we were obsessed

~~yes, I am aware that I have questionable taste~~

Can you explain why Voltron's a good show? I've been kinding of wanting to watch it, but still on the fence about it.

I mean, it's all really super subjective. It helps that I really enjoy Western cartoons in the vein of "aimed at kids but can be appealing to adults" (AtLA/LoK, SU, MLP) and that I am generally easy to please.

It's a reboot of an older show that I never watched (it existed before I was born, and I only have watched little snippets of it since watching VLD). So people who have watched the older version probably approach VLD really differently.

It's also got a fandom that's very divided on certain things and I kinda think that the things about the show that appeal to some people are not going to be the same as those that appeal to others.

Personally, I enjoy the art and animation (they do CGI animation for the machines without making them look really different from the rest of the animation; I think they did a really good job with that) and the characters. The characters are somewhat tropey in ways that I enjoy, but each one is also unique and goes deeper than just "lol this trope". It takes a little bit of getting into the show for that to become apparent for all of them though.

I also really love having a female paladin who isn't super girly or has a big deal made of her gender. Pidge is one of the reasons I wanted to watch this show, and she did not disappoint. They also rebooted Allura (literally a princess) in a way that expands her character and makes her much more than a prop.

I also love shipping, and you can ship pretty much anything since so far nothing is even close to canon (except arguably Hunk, one of the paladins, with this one alien girl is sort of implied). I ship one thing that will 99% never be canon, another that might but no idea yet really, and the third is the aforementioned Hunk x alien which may never get past the "implied" stage. The first is Klance, my OTP in this fandom, which hits all my buttons and is super fun but not everyone likes it. There's a lot fanwork for it but I think there are also a lot for some of the conflicting ships if that's more your bag. (Stay away from fandom, both in general and for the conflicting ships. I have heard Bad Things. I just read fic and look at art and stay the hell off Tumblr tags.)

Also, cool mechas and monsters and space and aliens and alien tech and stuff :D

As a note, the pilot ep didn't really impress me, but pilots often don't IME. A couple of the characters I didn't really get into until close to the end of S2, either (but it's fun to go back now with my new views of them in mind; I'm doing a re-watch).

If you have Netflix it doesn't hurt to check out a few eps! The pilot pretty much just sets up the general plot without getting too much into the characters. It really picks up maybe halfway through S1 imo.

Samurai Jack Season 5!

I'm edging towards brooklyn 99 but i refuse until i'm done with CSI:CSI
