+ The perception seems to be sports = something normal people do; fandom = something weird people do. Even though I would argue that fandom makes MORE sense than sports, because stories are part of what make us human, and sports...are just entertainment. Also, I swear all of this is tied up in societal feelings about masculinity (sports as a replacement for war in a society where the average man will never go to war, etc.) and suchlike, which also makes me mad.

+ Just watched it! Mostly fine! I do not understand how she can be the way she is. I wish my surplus of emotions were that unrelentingly adorable.
