This is how you can tell I live alone

Re: This is how you can tell I live alone

That's nice and all, but it won't be the end of the world when you come out of the LazyTown closet.

I know mang, but given the fact of the position that my fandom stands in, I think I'm better off keeping it to myself. Sure I have all the episodes, and is constantly searching for the best quality of these, but in all fairness I sometimes skip all the small talk, and fast forward directly to where the song is. You on the other hand.. that is another story. The fact that you actually went ahead and visited the studios really proves your dedication. Something I can only look up to, and kick myself in the head for not being the person with unlimited access to Máni's holy grail.

Let's not kid ourselves here. LazyTown is a children's show. A well made one, but it is most definitely a children's show.

As I also said in my post. It's marketed for children, but the professionalism about the show makes me say that watching it is not childrish/a taboo.

You were right.
Especially not if the show suddenly became socially acceptable, because of some goofy internet fame.

"Oh, LazyTown? Yeah I'm only watching it for the memes."

Re: This is how you can tell I live alone

Even though I'm a kid. I'm 11. and I think thats a little old for a kid to be watching a show made for preschoolers, but that cant stop me! I feel like its less weird for me, but seeing all of your experiences, I think thats true.

Re: This is how you can tell I live alone

I'm almost 19, but I do enjoy kids shows a lot, this being one of them. I'm pretty open about the stuff I like, heck my whole room is dedicated to my Disney collection, which has a lot of Lion Guard things in it.

I'm in my early 20s and my room is full of Monster High dolls, My Little Ponies and Disney plushies.

Oh I like The Lion Guard too! My fav character is Beshte

Yeah, I get how you feel. I'm not as open with LazyTown as I am with Hamtaro/Pokemon/Disney. I mean, at least you could argue the others could be somewhat enjoyable for all ages, but it's much harder to explain why you're into a preschool show when you're in high school

Re: This is how you can tell I live alone

It's odd how some kids media is more 'acceptable' to enjoy as an adult than others. For example, suggesting the Lego Movie (a great movie) to my fiancee's family had them saying no, because it's for kids so they shouldnt be watching it. Yet they will happily settle down with a Disney movie?

To be honest I think it's more childish to not watch 'childish' things for fear of being childish. As C.S LEwis said: “Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

a bit long sorry. But I love that quote

Re: This is how you can tell I live alone

I made a huge mistake when I first joined the fandom posting memes everywhere on snapchat and facebook where everyone from my high school is in because I thought it would be socially acceptable since it was a huge meme and I sadly regret it now, I tried my best to keep it to myself but I was excited with the fandom and I didn't know what to do then and I got bullied a few times and it carried on to later on, in fact the last time a few months ago some boy was threatening to get someone on me to "get me to stop" and he one of the "friends" I lost then I went on a long rant confessing and thinking I should get out the meme and "let it die" cos I was so offended and a in that day a girl was giving me abuse, it was heartbreaking I tried to not say i really enjoy the show and the fandom (I tend to keep that private) and i said it was only for the memes, the boy said he was only helping me looking back i think hes right but the girl was giving me a lot of hate for the memes and i had to say it was for the memes but she got triggered at the m word, school is starting back and im planning on being mature, dont get into anymore drama (I was in alot even before lazytown which being in the fandom helped a lot) and grow up be a better person and apologize to the people i've done wrong, its really tough and hard and im actually kinda scared to go back incase anyone notices the whole lazytown forever and it gets worse ;(

Re: This is how you can tell I live alone

I'm so sorry to hear of people being bullied for something they enjoy.
I was bullied for having a fringe!! that's how truly and utterly pathetic bullies are. Also, I refuse to subscribe to the cliché "be nice to bullies, they have a sad homelife". Unless you have tourette's, you CHOOSE what to say and CHOOSE how to act, for those are the only 2 things it's within you to control.



There will ALWAYS be jerks in life I'm afraid, but there will also be some great people and truly great moments!

Re: This is how you can tell I live alone

Yeah, thats true. I may have lost a few people but I gained new ones at the same time. And that's something I look forward to, finding and talking to people who will accept every part of you... even if you have an interest for a kids show.

Yeah... people will heavily judge this or anything really, but there will be those who will find it really cool that you enjoy it and etc.

i gotta say i really agree and relate to you here, my closest friends are ok with lazytown and the fandom are like a huge family here

Impressive!

Can't believe this was posted on ten years later, I had almost forgotten about it. It's all gone really, and I miss only one thing, my official soundtracks because the music will always be the magical part of the show for me.
