Re: Friday Fandom Reflections

The first time I really became "aware" of fandom was probably when I imported the subbed version of Trigun before they ever even thought to bring it over here. I had purchased a figure of Vash because I thought he looked awesome, yet had no clue who or what he was. I have such fond memories of watching those VHS tapes curled up on a bean bag chair back home at my Dad's house. My first cosplay costume was Vash the Stampede, I won first place :)

I guess my biggest disappointment is that over the years I have found that no matter how amazing, brilliant and painstakingly close to the read deal your costume is, if you're a woman dressing as a man you will be shunned. I don't think it's intentional, at least not always, but I've noticed that bad costumes with the "correct" gender (even if they're horribly overweight) tend to get a million times more photos taken than I do, even if it's the same fandom. I've experienced heartbreak and WAY too much money spent on these things over the years, but there are good memories to weigh out the bad.

I remember when I discovered yaoi, lol, that really opened up a new world for me too. It took me a long time to participate/contribute in it, but I'd consider my first and most ultimate OTP Chris and Wesker from the Resident Evil series (though it's a given that Vash/Wolfwood was pretty prominent too).

I've made friends, lost friends, and grown up since I first started, it's interesting to try and go back and reflect on all of it.
