lighthouse-the: Challenge 4x01: First Favourites
Click to viewChip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers - my first "real" fandom, so to speak. :) I was 5-6 in 1989-1990 when it aired, so it wasn't a fandom where I met other fans yet (that only started happening when I was 11-ish), but other than that I did everything you could do in a "real" fandom. I drew the characters constantly for at least 2 years, I tried to make my own action figures out of plaster (didn't look anything like action figures, but hey, at least I had them :D), I collected everything I could (which was very, very little when you didn't live in the US). I even said that the Rescue Rangers were my imaginary friends (I never had an imaginary friend but I thought it was a cool concept xD).
When it stopped airing I didn't stay "in the fandom", which I know a lot of people did (there are adults drawing these giant elaborate comics, I found one of them in 2005 and I was in awe). So it's more like a past "warm and fuzzy" thing for me, with some re-watches here and there. But the warm and fuzzy feelings are strong. ♥
The scenes I chose for the sig tags have no logic behind them other than they are some of the "I'm going to replay this until the tape wears out" scenes I had back then. :D (As you can probably tell, Gadget has always been my favorite character. I also adored Tammy, who was a one-off character, but she didn't make the selection when I was choosing the scenes.)
