I...have to admit, considering how you admitted to being 'in love with everything related to the fandom' and all...Is it possible that you've just...been talking about it a *lot* with her? I ask because I have friends who've done that from time to time...and after a while...well. Yeah, it *does* start getting on your nerves, and I'm mildly ashamed to admit I finally got to the point I actually told them if they didn't stop talking to me* about it, I'd stop responding every time they brought it up...and it still took them a few times to get the hint.

If that's the case? It's possible she feels like your shoving it down her throat, and/or trying to badger her into joining the fandom. If that's what's going on, I'd have a hard time blaming her for being upset. Not that it excuses her from saying nasty things, it doesn't, but it couldn't hurt to see if that's why she's feeling/acting the way she is.

*I didn't care if they talked about/what they did regarding those topics outside of our interactions.

Yeah... this. If you constantly talk at an unwilling friend about a superhero movie and don't even think that without it you'd have anything to talk about, maybe you shouldn't be throwing stones over "ending a friendship over a movie". There's a difference between liking a thing and becoming so obsessive about a thing that you can barely function in your friendships if they don't want to hear about it.

Everyone is defending the OP because turning into a black hole that exists only for Favorite Anime or whatever is considered pretty much normal in fandom, but there's a difference between "unfairly dissing something you like when you're talking about something else" and "oh god please trying to talk to me about Loki mpreg every time we interact" and I have doubts that the OP's situation is strictly the former...

Then again the "jumping ship to another fandom" thing seems to indicate that OP's friend might be the same kind of turns-into-a-black-hole-that-exists-only-to-appreciate-Favorite-Anime-or-Movie fandom person but idk

(Anonymous) 2012-06-19 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I agree - there is a difference between the two things, and I'll agree that it's possible that the OP's friend is the same way. If that's the case it's even possible the friendship might be better off ending [if they have nothing in common to talk about anymore]. Even if it's a case of them both being that way...It's still something that they should probably discuss with their friend, and maybe see if they can come to some kind of agreement to keep from over-whelming each other with squee about their respective fandoms, provided they both want to continue to maintain the friendship.

I used to be *that friend*. I don't know how my friends put up with me for so long, but once I realized what I was doing I was better able to rein it in.

So, yeah, OP, this might not be your case, but it's worth a shot to revise your behavior and see if you're not overloading your posts, comments, conversations, etc. with the Avengers.

*you're - just caught that, sorry
