SORRY PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT INTO BANDOM but I just. Look, Panic at the Disco's album comes out in under two months, things will probably cool down after that. And I must have been this annoying when Kris and Adam's albums came out, right? Right?
Actually, probably not. Here is a small disclaimer that you all probably know about RPF: canon doesn't arrive in nice little 21- or 42-minute weekly segments that you neatly hide under a cut because of spoilers. RPF canon trickles down in tweets and interviews and press releases and concert photos, and they can happen a few times a month or a few months a day, and when they happen sometimes you just want to flail a little and there's really no reason to even cut so you just end up... posting about the object of your RPFfection a lot. And by "you" I mean "I". And I know it must be boring for anyone who's not in the fandom, but it's kind of awesome for anyone who is, so you know. Unless you set up a separate account just for fannish squee or something, I'm not sure what the correct balance should be.
In Idol, I think that I probably posted less (while still posting a lot) because a lot of the fannish interaction happened on ontd_ai -- the entire fandom was there, and whenever anything happened (and you know, that comm had about 30 news posts a day) people, friends and strangers, would discuss it at the comm, and off-comm discussions were mostly unnecessary.
Bandom is a lot less centralized, and these days less active than AI was last summer, and I don't have a tumblr, and I'm sorry but I'm not going to be having discussions at the (official) patd comm where the BAND MEMBERS MIGHT BE READING and their bodyguard definitely is, so I end up... kind of spamming.
So that was my official apology, I guess, to people who are not into Bandom who might be annoyed or bored with all this random Bandom content. Apology in the sense that I am sorry you're bored but am not going to change the way I post? So feel absolutely free, naturally, to skim skim skim.
But see, now this post has ACTUAL CONTENT so I don't even have to apologize for tacking on this, which was supposed to be the entire point of this post, and which I found REALLY EXCITING:
Gaaaaaabe :D :D :D that is all.
Okay wait no, I will also say that I have seen the most recent episodes of both The Good Wife and Friday Night Lights. OMG [character that showed up] [redacted for spoilers]. Only three more episodes ;__;. Whyyy.
