does anyone else think about how fandoms are like cities?

you got your big, bustling ones that are really diverse and busy, maybe a little hard to navigate and full of crime, good areas and bad areas. the locals know the hot spots and how to get around

then the mid-range towns with big city attitudes even though they’re not big cities, a few local hubs of activity, the crazy dude ranting about stuff on the street corner who makes people uncomfortable

and then the small spot towns where everybody knows everybody, you can’t go out without seeing somebody you know, and there’s only one grocery store

#fandom life #sherlock fandom is a big city #with gangs #who will jump you for wearing the wrong colors #and tell you to stay in your lane #i try to stick to the bohemian neighborhoods #where people are friendly and don’t preach at you #there are fanatic preachers in sherlock fandom too #promising hellfire and damnation to the unbelievers #and im a heretic (via @anarfea)

@fizzygins and I are the witchy spinsters holed up in the abandoned distillery down by the river, venturing out only rarely to argue at length with our neighbors, and generally to be found obsessively redecorating our small but meticulously repurposed lair to accommodate ever more reference books, obscure sex toys, and memento mori paintings

This is one of the reasons I love Inception fandom. It’s like a little village where you probably recognise everyone, even if you don’t know them well. @inceptiversarysocial is the village hall where we hang out. @a-forger-and-a-point-man is the real estate agent trying to get people to buy houses here and running the @inceptionkitties cat shelter in her spare time. She’s organised a successful twinning operation with the 00q and London Spy towns.

Perfect, @kanga-ruth! It’s a great village to move to from a bigger, dangerous city (as many of us have done). Long-term residents are very welcoming. There’s a fantastic @bookshop where you can get really good reading suggestions. @earlgreytea68 is like a town ambassador, pointing out the special features and drawing new residents over. And there’s not just a cat shelter, there’s a whole zoo of exotic animals and birds.

and every week on the village green, we set up a big sheet and projector and have movie night. 

@kate2kat runs the local animal sanctuary and @involuntaryorange operates a sex toy shop and @ladyprydian has a cute independent yarn store where she takes knitting orders

all three of them are also the town bakers

Then there’s the Superwood village that has like fifteen people but we all get along even if we occasionally have a random sheep wandering through the village green.
