Hellooo.. long time no see.... this is what i was talking about when saying i might just dip for half a year, which i did. But anyway. A lot has happened since my last yap, for example a new semester. This one was like really fucking hectic and like busy and i still got finals before me BUT! thats not what i want to talk about.
SO, you may remember me yapping about how i was bored during the summer, and i was. Not really related to what i want to say, whatever. I HAVE AN ANOUNCEMENT! I AM IN A BRAND NEW FANDOM!!! well i have been for the past half a year so its not that new anymore BUT WHATEVER ITS A NEW THING
So, like, i havent like really gotten into a new thing, let alone a whole ass fandom in a few years at this point. Like yea, i had linux and the whole shtick but that wasnt really a fandom that was just a thing. And i kinda thought that i wasnt able to get into a new fandom anymore, like all the things i was meant to get obssesed with i already did and now theyre just gonna be circulating in my mind until the end of time BUT LO AND BEHOLD THATS NOT THE CASE.
So it started pretty like innocently. So my mom and brother like to lightly shame me for not having seen some of like movie classics and shit like that. So one day in late august, one of our czech tv programmes is playing this movie uhh.. top.. gun.. or something, and i faintly recognize that title bcuz there was a similar movie like that in like 2022 on tv also, and apparently its like the original and that one is a sequel?? and the sequel was playing like a day later so i thought, hell, why not ill watch it, theres nothing better on the tv anyway. So we watched it with our dabbing which isnt always the greatest and also this channel has like a million ads like every fifteen minutes. Long story short, i didnt really get into it, didnt really think anything about it. But then i thought hmm, i wonder if there are any posts on tumblr about it. So i searched it.. AND WAS BLASTED WITH A WHOLE ASS FANDOM. I was like whoa, didnt expect that. And then i also decided to check out ao3... lets just say theres a lot of stuff there. And i was like going through the tag on tumblr, reading a few fics here and there, but im not like obssesed or aything, i think foolishly.
So then like a week later we go on a holiday and suddenly i have time to just scroll tumblr between like walks and shit. And i start to explore blogs. A lot of blogs. And i start to think about it. All the time. At this point i follow basically the whole fandom and im deep in the sauce. I am obssesed. Then we come back from the vacation, which was nice btw, and im at the mythical two-week line and i begin to feel scared, that now im home and wont be on tumblr all day ill just lose this obssesion and i dint want to lose bcuz uknow first fandom in a WHILE and i wanted to hold on for as long as possible.
So i occasionaly saw this character named ethan and some people were headcanoning him to be twins with the main character maverick. And i.. wasnt really interested but decided i might just watch his source material, uknow, to have a better understanding of like his backstory and shit. So i watched.. mission impossible. The first one, i didnt know there were more. And i. was. blown. away. That was so fucking good. I NEEDED more. I needed all eight of the movies injected into my veins the SECOND i finished watching the first one. So i continued watching mission. But you see, people in the top gun and now mission fandom that i also started to follow were also watching these other movies that this one guy was acting in and they were posting very.. convincing gifsets, lets just say. And i began to feel.. intrigued.. and thus my movie watchlist was born. First there were only a few entries with classics like Jerry Maquire and Collateral, uknow, movies any true tc fan should watch- wait, what fan? Oh yea, some of the people on tumblr were also posting about this guy called like.. thomas crisis.. or something.. and i feel like that was the point of no return. Well long story short i also got obssesed with our boy tom cruise.
So like my typical day would go like, go on youtube, oh my god is that an interview i havent seen yet????, go watch movie, go on tumblr, add like five new movies to my watchlist, go to sleep, dream of missions and shit, repeat.
Sooooo.. ya. thats what ive been up to the last half a year, im having a blast, i feel like i get deeper into the sauce each day and i cant wait untile digger comes out. Also, tom and his movies were the only thing keeping me sane this past semester, like without joking, if it werent for them, i might have actually went insane. So thats that.
