Snowflake Challenge #5 | Life Changes

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.

Fandom changed my life in so many ways, so it was challenging trying to settle on an answer for this one.

Fandom was the community I needed when I was lonely. I had just transferred from deaf classes to mainstream classes, from friends who I spent my childhood with to unfriendly hearing strangers. I had very limited opportunities to socialize with my old friends outside lunch period. Furthermore, our interests were starting to diverge, so when we did meet, it was awkward trying to find topics to talk about. It was a very rough transitional period, and I struggled a lot.

When I found online fandom communities, it was a blessing for me because I could chat with other people who shared my newfounded interests. I wasn't so lonely anymore with my fandom friends. I could tell them about my troubles and they were the good listeners I needed at that low point.

I don't know where I would be right now without fandom. I am so deeply grateful to fandom for being there during my difficult times.

Caleb's Back!

Well, Caleb's finally announced! I'm actually not a huge fan of the military uniform... Really hope his other clothes are better.

I'm not a huge Caleb stan, but I like his design, I like that he's a pilot, and I'm really curious what he's been up to after his first appearance in the story. I'm really looking forward to seeing him again, and see if he can maybe dethrone Rafayel as my favorite. I doubt it though.

January 22 is so far away, how am I supposed to wait that long?

Interestingly enough, they didn't announce Pulse Hunter in the livestream. I really hope that's coming as well, because I saved up so many pulls for it.

I'm obsessed with LaDS's photoshoot mode, I love how dedicated the game is at catering to delulu fans (me). Can they please add more appearance save slots though, three slots is NOT enough for me.

Apothecary Diaries Friday

Happy Apothecary Diaries Friday! The anime's season 2 started airing today, and it's good to have it back.

( Thoughts on Episode 25 as a LN reader )

The light novel's volume 13 was also released today, so it's a double Apothecary Diaries day for me. Unfortunately, I can't read it right away because I currently have 4 library loans I need to return soon. Argh.

Funny thing, when I got the notification my preorder was now available, I also got a library notification saying a hold was ready to borrow now. Amazing inconvenient timing.
