Fandom Thread!

This thread is for the fandoms that don't get mentioned on the CB often ( so don't include fandoms such as musical theatre, Harry Potter...).

You can find CBers with the same fandoms as you, and... discuss!

The only rules are to stay CB appropriate, and to warn when you are about to give a spoiler, please warn people.

Here are mine~

Okay, here we go.

Legend of Zelda ~ I've only actually played Spirit Tracks, but I've read several of the manga and the Hyrule Historia and I LOVE IT. I hope to get BotW soon.

The Inheritance Cycle ~ AKA Eragon.

Quora ~ This isn't really a fandom, but it's a small(ish) community. 

Dear Evan Hansen ~ I'm new, but I've read the novel and listened to the soundtrack several times. Exceedingly awesome.

Fortnite ~ I swear I'm not obsessive. I don't watch Twitchstreamers or anything. 

Hamilton ~ Wait, no, that's big.

Fullmetal Alchemist ~ The Writer reminded me. I haven't finished it (not even close), but I really like it so far, so.

Marvel ~ More accurately, the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Though I'm into Squirrel Girl outside of the MCU, and I've been reading Captain Marvel comics lately. I read some old Iron Man stuff two weeks ago, but, well, they're old. Way too much exposition.

A Webcomic That Can't Be Mentioned Because It Was Previously Vetoed By The Admins But It's AWESOME ~ 'Nuff said, my apologies. I'm into it. You may catch me making sly references fairly often.

My Chemical Romance ~ Flaunting my emo side.

Other Music ~ I can't list all the music I like here or we would have a small book. I should just do that for NaNo or someth. TØP is near the top though.

Calvin and Hobbes ~ Right, The Writer reminded me of this as well.

The Cloak Society ~ Which doesn't even have a fandom, but it could do with one.

Artemis Fowl ~ One of the singly most original and ingenious series I've read. READ OR THE OWL WILL EAT YOU. *winks* No, seriously.

Okay, that'll do for now. I need to watch some Star Wars and Star Trek and Doctor Who.

Super Smash Bros!

Ok, ok that’s not a fandom, but has anyone ever played it? So much fun. My best friends and I went to their Aunts house in MN for July, and all we did was play that. Favorite character has to be Lil Mac. Has anyone played his video game? The ending is really sad :((

Id say MCU but it’s pretty much talked about a lot.

LotR isn’t talked about too much, although I really LOVE it! Bilbo has always been my favorite and I absolutely love Tolkien. He’s so fascinating and CS Lewis is really amazing, they both are really amazing people.

That brings me to... NARNIA! I’ve grown up with Narnia, Sooo good. I really like Lewis’ writing but also he has a great hold of.. um I forgot the word. His theological worldview. That’s it.  

Also, SOON ITS CHRISTMAS. AND I CANNOT WAIT. Does that count as a fandom loll

I haven't played Super Smash Bros (yet), but I'm looking at Ultmiate. It does look like it'll be good.

Also, yes! I am a minor LotR fan, and I do really like Narnia as well. I just reread the entire Chronicles of Narnia in a row like 2/3 months ago. They are good

YES YES SUPER SMASH BROTHERS I PLAYYYYY *Waves hands in the air* As for my favorite character, probably... Oh I don't know, I have a long list of favorites, some of which are Female Korrin (I just think she fits her character better, alright?), Kirby (Eh I'm getting over him), and Sheik. Also who else was super upset that they separated Sheik and Zelda??

Sherlock Sherlock Sherlock Sherlock Sherlock Sherlock Sherlock SHERLOCK! I LOVE SHERLOCK SO MUCH AND I LOVE THAT OTHER PEOPLE LOVE IT AND AAAAHHHH SHERLOCK!!! Just- SHERLOCK!

Doctor Who! Is so awesome! I'm not finished yet! But I will be soon! At least with the ones I can pirate! And I'm not sure how I feel about this! Help! (But if anyone's interested I have some WILD theories about how Moriarty and The Master are actually the same person.) (I would be happy to share these theories.) (Please please ask me I'm so proud of this.)

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them! Yes, it is just JK Rowling getting greedy and wanting more money off her franchise. Ok. I get why people have problems with it. And it sucks that she's not backing up some claims that she made earlier about Dumbledore and Grindelwald. But I feel like these movies don't have enough of a fandom, because they are beautiful.  

The Tortall (saga? series? seri? multiplicity?). Tamora Pierce's books, particularly Song of the Lioness, are some of the most underrated YA literature out there. Her books are so imaginative and cool and Tamora basically invented the epic female protagonist, at least in young adult literature. But! Her characters do not scorn traditionally feminine work, and are all very different people. She's awesome and more people need to read her work.

His Dark Materials! Yeah, this does occasionally come up but we don't ever get a chance to really talk about it! But it's actually the coolest thing ever and everyone needs to read this. Right now. Do it. 

Aurora- Such a good singer and her lyrics are so strangely beautiful. Her voice is haunting. I love her.

Humans, please come talk to me about these things! I really want to talk about all this! Thank you for reading my excitable rant! :) I love all you beautiful humans. <3

Oh, I love FBAWTFT so far! Cursed Child was a fail, in my opinion, but Fantastic Beasts is doing really well. Barely any retcons and lots of explanation for previously unexplained stuff that actually make sense. Like, Obscuri are sorta retcons, but it's very obvious that Ariana was one. And the Dumbeldore x Grindelwald was never really established in original canon, but it was heavily hinted towards and makes a ton of sense.

Onyx says trix! Today has been a good day for Onyx.

Cursed Child sucked. It's not canon; I've never met a single person who accepts it as canon. I mean, honestly, the trolley lady turning into a psychotic attack cyborg? What is this, some kind of fever dream? Also, Hermione Granger, raising a intollerant child? You've gotta be kidding me. 

But YES Fantastic Beasts is SO good and I haven't seen The Crimes of Grindelwald yet but I want to so bad. I just can't find anyone to see it with me cause everyone hates Johnny Depp. You're right, Arianna as an obscurial makes so much sense! I cannot wait to see what happens with that.

Dear Evan Hansen, In the Heights, Les Mis, Come From Away, and many many musicals that I can’t really list all of them. And obviously Hamilton, but that definitely counts as a big, and much discussed fandom.

Sherlock

The Golden Compass Series

The Infernal Devices/The Dark Artifices (and TMI, but the TID and TDA are my favorites. Queen of Air and Darkness come out in nine days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Watership Down

The Queen of the Tearling

Fantastic Beasts

The Six of Crows duology 

A Wrinkle in Time, plus it’s sequels

There are definitely a lot more that I can’t think of at the moment (as it is one in the morning) but this is my list for now.

I absolutely LOVE the Six of Crows duology!!

Oh my gosh, we love the same things! And I had no idea Queen of Air and Darkness was coming so soon! (Yay, time to go pester the school librarian!) That's my favorite of all the series so far! (With Infernal Devices as a very close second.) I love all the characters so much and AAAAAHHHH DIVERSE REPRESENTATION! The Golden Compass is amazing and I love it so much. More than slightly embarrassing fun fact: A lot of my pre-teen-hood was spent being Lyra. Talking like her, acting like her... I will still occasionally slip into an Oxford accent without meaning to. Which is also fairly embarrassing. Six of Crows so cool. I really really like it and cannot remember if I added it to my list or not. If I didn't, I should have. 

Actually, the only thing on your list (other than the musicals) that I haven't read is The Queen of the Tearling, and seeing how much of the same stuff we like, I'll probably love that too! 

Sorry if this weird thing is all over the place or annoying or anything. I'm extremely extremely excited that other people like the same stuff as me because I usually don't meet people at school quite as willing to talk about it all with me.

Does music count, if it does Mozart. So much wonderful music and from a wonderful musician. I really like every song by him in my piano book.
