I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THINGS

I AM OLD

AND OUT OF TOUCH

I go through tumblr and I'm all like

I'm impressed. I don't know what I'm looking at.

??????

But it's impressive!

I feel like I should PM people who run these cool newfangled headcanon things some werther's originals

'Oh that is very clever, oh very clever indeed! Why, in my day, we never thought of that!'

And oh my god

8 tracks playlists

what even

where were these when I needed it?!

We had fanmix livejournal communities, and whatever filesharing website we found would be shut down not three weeks later

AND OH MY GOD LIVESTREAMING. We had AIM chats where we spent 15 minutes trying to get everyone to sync their dvd players just right

just so we could do live AIM based commentary

Fandom and technology are so beautiful :'D

I just don't know what half this stuff is anymore :''D But it's. So beautiful.

I'm so proud of how far fandom has come. Shit got sophisticated, yo.

Everyone really adapted to new technology well. I mean, man. I've only been out of it four years and I barely recognize 90% of new forms of fandom expression.

I remember when LJ was getting bought out by the Russians, everyone was crying about how THE END OF FANDOM AS WE KNEW IT WAS NIGH~

Nobody could have predicted headcanon blogs and RPG OOC skype chats and livestream sessions and character memes and colourful photosets and 8tracks playlists and all the other things I don't even know about
