Women read comics. Anyone at all engaged in social media knows this. Women read comics and are a driving force behind fandom. I think I could call them the driving force behind fandom and put up a convincing argument. Just think about it: what fandoms have driven America crazy in the last decade? Could anyone dissuade me from saying that they were Harry Potter, Twilight and the Hunger Games? “Avatar” may have put butts in theater seats, but you don’t hear about it… ever. No one is immersed in the world of “Avatar” except James Cameron and people who enjoy wearing Na’vi Zentai suits. “The Avengers” was pretty darn huge and, if Tumblr is any indication, a whopping portion of the people driving that fandom online do not possess a Y chromosome. Women engage in fandom to levels that men do not. When women get behind something, their sheer numbers and passion force it into the mainstream. That’s why you can name the actor who plays that werewolf kid in “Twilight” and probably sing at least the chorus to one Justin Bieber song. What do tween boys like? I have no clue. Sports? Probably sports.

and yet men remain the most marketed demographic for just about everything.

I’m pretty sure the only men who spend more time thinking about DC than women on Tumblr are the men who actually work there.

My Favourite Things
Tumblr Edition
(This version written and performed by Codot)
Watching the clever consulting Detective,
Timelords and Doctors, and the Borg Collective,
Princes of Asgard and Angels with wings,
These are a few of my favourite things.Winchester Boys in their old ‘67,
Eccleston, Tennant, and Smith make 11,
Seeing White Walkers and Clashes with Kings,
These are a few of my favourite things.Wizards who cast spells with deadly precision,
Inspectors who say it’s “not my division”,
GIF-ing The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings,
These are a few of my favourite things.When Arthur dies,
“Let me through, please!”,
When the Angels Weep,
I try to remember my favourite things,
and then cry myself to sleep!Billionaire geniuses bringing the party,
Desperately trying to thwart Moriarty,
It’s never over until the Ood sings,
These are a few of my favourite things.Fluttershy, Applejack, and all the Ponies,
NUTCRACKER! Sam takes one in the Cojones,
Aang, Zuko, Bolin and Korra’s Bendings,
These are a few of my favourite things.What time is it, why it’s time for Adventure,
Feeling the love between Xavier and Lehnsherr,
In fact, let’s go mad with all our shippings,
These are a few of my favourite things!When I get hit,
Right in the feels,
When it makes me sad.
I simply remember my favourite things,
and then I don’t feel so bad!OMG WHAT THIS IS AMAZING
CODOT, YOU’RE ON MY DASH AGAIN!
‘Round and ‘round I go! WOOOO!!

HOLY SHIT GUYS, LOOK AT THIS
A little over a year ago I drew this picture of rule63!Sherlock-and-John (also on tumblr):
and today I got an LJ comment notification from shizayats saying that she and her friend had recognized themselves in the drawing and decided to cosplay it. LOOK AT THIS, I JUST. CAN’T STOP FLAILING, I’M SO UTTERLY DELIGHTED.

My name's actually not "Stan", it's just short for "stalking fan", which I am: a raving, insane, fanatic fangirl. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
