LOVE when my fandom interests go into the realm of academia. Did I get a book on ancient Egypt from my library just so I can make Ahkmenrah headcanons and understand his character better? Yes. Did I buy an anthology of Walt Whitman’s poems because he’s a central part of Dead Poets Society? Yes and every poem slaps!! Do I want to go into anthropology because Bones introduced me to the field? Absolutely! If fandom helps you discover interests and topics that you may not have explored otherwise, then the media has succeeded, and don’t let ANYONE tell you otherwise!!
