the untamed I guess! here we are???
WELL I guess I finally have a new fandom-obsession. The Untamed!!!!!!
It's been ages since my last real fall into a fandom, which is so weird, because they always used to happen back to back or even overlapping. But I think I faded out of my most recent fandom in 2017ish if I've calculated right. That's approaching 4 years ago! I've missed the sensation of overwhelming joy and love, and always having something worth thinking about whenever I'm bored. And yeah, sure, many of my old fandoms I never leave behind completely, the love is still there -- but it's not omnipresent anymore. It's different to have something be my Current Obsession.
Also unusual about this one: generally if I'm going to fall for a fandom it happens fast. This one....well I read my first fanfic for The Untamed/MDZS more than a YEAR ago, and I've been steadily reading more ever since, just casually you know, because it's what I keep seeing around. I even tried and failed to read the novel at some point. But in the last week or so something tipped over and now this fandom is My Thing.
What changed? I do not know! But here we are! I I started watching the show just a couple days ago and am already 3 1/2 episodes in (I know, objectively not much, but for me it's impressive), and I keep on giggling with glee at it, and also just having feelings about seeing the faaaaaaces of everyone I care a lot about.
I have been livetweeting my episode-watching on twitter (![[twitter.com profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/e0caa790ec10/-/twitter.com/favicon.ico)
