There's no wake-up to what your life is until something that's second nature suddenly is no longer there, and I guess I never thought much about

a) how much time I spend on fandom stuff
b) where I spend said fandom time

until yesterday's US release of the Miraculous Ladybug one hour special episode where the gang travels to New York and meet American superheroes.

And I was like: right, an hour-long episode that probably won't be in regular run so it's not like they can do anything that won't be set back to status quo by the end. How big can any of it be? They cataclysm the Statue of liberty before they eat those hot dogs or something?

*sees half a spoiler*

...aaaaaand it's time to get those spoiler tags on block

So I'm staying away from reddit and half my tumblr feed consists of blocked posts and I don't really trust anything not slipping through, so I guess that's why I'm here. And it is weird, let me tell you. MLB fandom is a lot of firsts to me. It's my first western fandom, the first fandom since 2005 where I'm here entirely for a het ship, the first time since I can remember where the idea of a ship sinking honestly upsets me (oh god what have i become) - and it is the first really ongoing fandom. Hetalia had no storyline, Ace Attorney went years between games and they're self-contained anyway, Pokémon was eternal and relied on status quo anyway. The rest of them had ended by the time I got into them for real.

But MLB is going to run for another two seasons, and if the special episode that likely won't affect neither plot nor character development went the places where that half spoiler suggests it did, then I better be ready to suffer like I never have before.

Over Miraculous Ladybug, because this is my life now
