"I prefer making my own small fandom. Y'know, one where I can just talk to my friends online. It's not too hard to manage; if any discourse happens, it can be quickly shut down."
It felt relieving to talk about her interests like this to a real person. For a while now she felt anxious she would get judged for liking comics, anime, and other "geeky" and "nerdy" things, but the island always surprised her by how accepting it could be. That was probably because other species were also getting familiar with human geek culture.
Oluremi sat herself down in her chair, adjusting herself for a few minutes to get her wings in the right position. It was always difficult to sit down without messing up her feathers, and preening herself was always an annoyance. Noticing Eiko pull up her Free! DVD set, she rolled her chair closer. "Yeah, it was alright. The animation made me cry because of how great it was. I haven't watched it in a while though, so I don't really remember the characters all too well. I remember shipping Rin and Haru though."
