We made #1 on tumblr again with 0 new content all thanks to Barb and Maca. I’m honestly shocked still we were number one I thought surely it was because we got new content every day but I think that shows this fandom is actually huge. I want to try not to have expectations and just be thankful but it’s so hard not to have hope after hearing Maca and Barb say they both want to do a spiniff on the day we win their show 14 awards. Winning those awards reminded me what fandom is supposed to be.

I know! I looked it up yesterday and this is literally what I said to a friend

“Wow, STILL #1 in the fandometrics! I really thought we’d fall and was only wondering by how much. It was definitely last night, lol, that kept us there.”

Definitely didn’t think that even one night of award content would keep it up there, like you said, I thought it was the daily content but just goes to show how much interest there is. With respect to the spinoff, I’m the same, trying to keep expectations low, or even frame any outcome as win-win, no spinoff = then no chance of them being ruined, spinoff = more of them.

But I really do get how people just want to hold on to this experience and this feeling of being listened to and acknowledged and making a difference. In so many other fandoms, we are the niche and no matter how important we think we are, we’re always reminded of our place at the end. But here we’re indulged, both in the story and by the cast and crew. It’s such a different feeling and I think we all know that whatever new ship comes along, it won’t be like this.
