User blog:Animefanlt01/The story of how I became a fan of Adventure Time.

tomorrow marks the day I joined the Adventure Time Wikia 5 years ago, and since it's a special thing for me I'd like to share my story of how I became an Adventure Time fan in the first place. It all started back in 2010 when I first saw the first ad for Adventure Time on Cartoon Network and my initial reaction/first impression was "this looks like a weird show" and it didn't help with the fact that I was in the mindset of "Cartoon Network will never get better again" thus leaving me to brush off Adventure Time for a while,, but at the same time my little brother quickly became a fan and soon did my dad, so because of that my brother would put on TV a lot and from what I'd saw I really didn't care for, it wasn't until around sometime between 2011 and 2012 that I had taken somewhat of an interest in the series via the comics after hearing about how it takes in a post-apocalyptic setting due to an event called the Mushroom War (which at the time I didn't know it was based off the show itself) I didn't start watching the show genuinely until sometime in 2012 when I happen to catch the Season 3 finale while staying a hotel room, the episode itself really caught my interest, next thing I knew I started watching it on a regular basis while I caught myself up, then after that right before the Season 5 premiere I join this Adventure Time Wikia and had a lot of fun in the AT Wikia chat, discussing theories and episodes, characters etc about the show with other Adventure Time fans, watching Adventure Time reviewers such as "Matthew D. Cabera" and "AdventureTimeLichNews" and that is the whole story of how I became a fan of Adventure Time.

and now I would like to take a moment to vent out my frustrations.... ever since sometime in 2015 I had noticed the slow decline in users of the Adventure Time Wikia chat and YouTubers who talked about Adventure, while at the same time my little brothers interest in the show started to slowly die down including my fathers and then sometime between 2015 and 2016 I had also noticed that some people have started to speak out against Adventure Time such as YouTubers like "PieGuyRulz" calling out Adventure Time for its flaws, which I don't mind I'd be the first to admit that Adventure Time isn't without its flaws but when you have people like "JelloApocalypse" not only bashing Adventure Time but also trash talking the fans that's when I have a problem, and then you have people that jumped off the Adventure Time fandom and went to the Steven Universe fandom and start bashing Adventure Time saying things like 'Adventure Time was never good in the first place" while singing Steven Universe praises, ironically enough I've noticed the very same thing that's been killing the Adventure Time fandom and Wikia is also happening to Steven Universe fandom and Wikia, only at a much alarmingly faster rate, Steven Universe had only come out in November 2013 while Adventure Time come out in April 2010. now don't get me wrong I love Steven Universe as much as the next person but I'm just sick and tired of seeing people bash Adventure Time and ESPECIALLY people JelloApocalypse making fun of the fans for liking it, while at the same time I guess I should be kind of grateful since all of this has shown who is truly an Adventure Time and who only say they are a fan because of the hype. but none the less I'm sure the bandwagoners will be crawling back as soon as the show nears its end with Season 9 and possibly if the Adventure Time movie does indeed happen, anyways that's all I gotta say, thank you all for listening to me vent and staying true to Adventure Time.
