Michael Sheen loves fandom and he wants you to know it

[ms_mmelissa]

I will unashamedly and unapologetically celebrate the joy and the warmth and the creativity of a community of people sharing something positive and beautiful and connective and if you don’t like it you are most welcome to very fuck off.

i know fandom is easy to make fun of, and it's not perfect, but there isn't any kind of subculture or group or hobby that IS perfect. im really glad he's sticking up for the fans like this.

He's sweet. I am a fan of things but Idk if I am apart of a fandom. When I want to talk about Harry Potter, old Disney movies, I do it here.

Back when I was a fan of Supernatural, I learned to keep that shit a secret. lol I did not know how batshit or terrible fans were to the guy's wives.

I haven't found any GO fic that I've really been into but I LOVE the show and have watched it repeatedly. Good on him for defending the fans.

I have to say the Good Omens stans on tumblr got me to finally give the series a watch. I am not feeling it so far but it's so short I'll definitely finish it.

I've never been a huge participant in fan culture. The only two times I've been so obsessed with a show that I wrote fanfic for it was Buffy and weirdly Gossip Girl. I was a casual fan until the Dair plotline hit and then I got so into it. IDK it was such a well done part of such a terrible show. Leighton and Penn sold it so well.

Dair. I was obsessed.

I refuse to acknowledge that the last season of gossip girl exists.

[hypertwink]

Dair is the best.

Yeah I was done with Gosspi girl by S2 but Dair brought me back. They were such a breath of fresh air, for a brief moment I even thought they would get their happy ending beacuse they were the only ones who made some sort of sense. Chuck was always the worst™

I still miss them tbh.

He's a sweetheart. GO have had a Fandom for decades so it was obvious that it'd go on with the series and its leads, party poopers need to hit that ubffollow buttln
