dude discovering fandom in my late 20s was the best thing that ever happened to me like suddenly there’s this entire world of shit i didn’t know about including a safe space where i can get super fucking emotional about a droid giving a reformed storm trooper a thumbs up and there are like 300 other people screaming YEAH I KNOW
I didn’t discover fandom til my mid 30s and it was the best thing to happen to me too. Hell I even changed my college major because of it.
