I love this saga so much. Honestly, I'd say I'm more of a casual fan now, and I don't really consider myself part of the fandom because I don't consume anything Twilight-related besides the books and movies. I don't even follow anyone from the fandom, so it's more like I just enjoy it but don't engage. But there was a time when I was totally obsessed and the saga was literally the base of my whole routine. I had everything: T-shirt, backpack, posters, magazines... People made fun of me a lot but I didn't care. Yeah, the books and movies are not good, but idk, there's just something comforting about them. Obviously, I'm Team Edward.

I literally learned English through Selena's songs and I was a fan for a long time. She was a big part of my childhood since I discovered her when I was 9. I can't really say the exact reason I drifted away 13 years later, but I think it was partly her almost retiring from music and also because her recent songs just didn't hit for me. Plus, I started realizing a lot about her behavior was lowkey messy and kinda off, so I slowly backed off. I still really love her old songs though.

It wasn't the first fandom I was in, but it feels like it was. They were literally my whole personality, I breathed One Direction 24/7. I spent all day consuming their stuff and talking about them. I basically lived on the #AskDirectioner tag on Twitter back when that was still a thing (no idea if it ever existed outside Brazil). I was totally obsessed with Larry and even wrote like 10 fanfics, had a Larry hoodie too... yeah. I only have good memories of being their fan, and I'll admit I miss those days. I stopped stanning a few months after they announced the "hiatus" because I discovered K-POP and just swapped one for the other. I still listen to One Direction a lot, and even though I don't follow their solo careers, I still have love for all of them.

I became an orphan without One Direction and needed a new obsession. 2015 me couldn't resist Jungkook in the War of Hormone MV, and that's when BTS came into my life. But I didn't stay a fan for long because the fandom got unbearable real quick and I found other groups that felt more interesting to me. Still, I put them on this list because they were the reason I actually got into K-POP, and a lot happened because of that. You know that point in life where you're like "if I had taken a different path, everything would be totally different now"? That's exactly how I feel about BTS. Oh, and I went to their concert! That's important to mention because K-POP concerts in Brazil weren't common back then, and I kinda take pride in catching the Wings Tour since it has what I think are their best songs. Anyway, I don't like BTS anymore. Not into their personalities, not into how they deal with their fame, and I can't stand the fans either. I keep my distance so I don't get stressed out reading arrogance, but their old songs are still a bop so I listen to them sometimes.

Being part of Seventeen's fandom was a huge butterfly effect in my life. I met people who changed my life both in good and bad ways. I used to be super active in the fandom, joined Twitter groups, and always kept up with their news, dramas, and fan fights. I even joined a few myself. I really loved being a Carat, even wrote and published some fanfics. I drifted away from the group because their music stopped hitting for me, and the concepts they started doing didn't feel like the Seventeen I knew and loved. The Carats I was close with also stopped stanning, so I ended up not seeing them on my timeline anymore and just stopped interacting with the fandom. Honestly, I still have a lot of love for all the members and I still enjoy many of their older songs.

I remember exactly when Taeyeon released her first full album, My Voice, and I got hooked. I'd get home from school, be alone at home, put her album on the living room TV, and just sit on the couch listening until I dozed off. I did that every single day, religiously. Until I checked out the rest of her discography and loved every song. I became a Taeyeon fan because of her music, not her personality, which isn't usual for me. I usually like the personality first. Nowadays, I relate to her a lot and admire her so much as an artist that I like everything she sings. Soon it'll be 10 years following her, and I feel my love for her just keeps growing with every release.

I was never really active in the Banana Fish fandom, but I did try once and ended up meeting the person who almost ruined my life. I also don't vibe much with the fandom itself because my opinions clash with the majority, so I kinda got traumatized. Now I'm just a casual fan, checking out stuff here and there and that's it. I avoid engaging, don't really interact with people, and when it comes to fanworks I only consume the fanarts that randomly show up on my timeline. Still, Ash is a really important character to me and always will be. I still consider myself part of the fandom because I think I like Banana Fish enough to count myself in. Oh, and yeah, I have a tattoo of Ash Lynx.

Honestly, my time in the JJK fandom was more about SatoSugu and Gojo than the manga itself. I (still) am completely obsessed with SatoSugu, and for me, they are 100% canon, no discussion. I only stopped reading the manga because I found the arc confusing and boring, and I don't even remember how it actually ended. I think the story has a lot of flaws and wasted potential. Anyway, I still love Geto, Gojo, Shoko, and Yuta.

I miss when Genshin was actually good. I stopped playing because the game got repetitive, patches felt identical except for the events, and the new characters didn't interest me at all. Plus, life got busier and I just didn't have time to play anymore. With all that combined, I had zero motivation to open the game again, so I just never did. I met a lot of people who played Genshin, but I was never super active in the fandom. I only interacted with a handful of people and mostly just consumed fanart and some fanfics. The few people I did interact with also quit, so I stopped seeing Genshin stuff on my timeline. Now when I see the characters they've released since I quit, I don't recognize a single one, which feels so weird. Will I ever go back? Total mystery, but I won't rule it out.
