Snowflake Challenge 2025 #5

Haven't written anything for a few days! All my free time has been going into coding my website redesign, and this weekend, I'm gonna be spending a lot of my time playing Frostyfest in Splatoon 3. (Gotta get up to Ruler ranking, and hopefully get a pic with Frye!)

Thankfully, I set aside some time in between matches and coding to write today, though.

Fandom can be a highly meaningful experience for many! We'd love to hear about how being part of a fandom has helped your life change for the better. Have you made any cherished memories or connections? Does fandom bring you joy? Tell us about the ways that fandom has helped you.

There are so many ways that fandom has improved my life with. I've met most, if not all, of my best friends through fandom -- including my romantic partner!

It helped me understand myself better through using the characters as an indirect means of exploring certain topics, and I discovered I was queer and autistic through fandom.

I wanted to go a bit more in-depth about the point about autism, though, because I mention it in passing a lot.
