steffishHow do I love this fandom? Let me count the ways.
~ It's so portable. All I have to do is turn on my ipod and the bands are right there with me. Likewise at work, when I finished listening to my cassette (no CD players for us, no) of FOB, P!atD and MCR and turned back to the radio, I heard the end of some song, then I Don't Love You came on, the guy said he'd heard rumors of MCR coming back to NZ* and I missed whatever came next because I was too busy squeeing out all over the place, and then they played Thnks fr th Mmrs. I mean, total immersion much?
~ So many pairings I can get into. In QAF I was all about the B/J, with occasional forays into other pairings just for variety. But in bandslsh I can have so many favourites, chief among which (for today) is "RyanRoss-is-a-whore", and that's great. :D
~ It's a lifestyle. I can read it, listen to it, dress it, whatever! It doesn't have to be hidden away like HP (omg you like a kids' book!) or QAF (wtf is that?/ omg gay germs!).
~ It's even got my playing my guitar again, after not touching it in... almost two years? Yeah. I still suck though.
~ And of course, the pretty. There are many boys wearing eyeliner. They are canonically very affectionate with each other. I hope I don't have to elaborate.
* I can't find anything about this on the internets, though. Anyway, it made me incredibly happy, even when I started thinking about the logistics of going to a big show when I don't know anyone else who would want to. I would make it happen somehow.
