Pfffft, it's about time I made this thread. After all I've had it in my head since the dawn of time- or at least that's what it feels like to me sometimes.
Onto the point.
If you've ever stepped foot into the famous "Ascension Island"- also called "Fandom Island" by it's more active inhabitants, you were probably suprised by how different this part of the community is compared to. . well, everyone else.
Of course, the first thing you would probably notice would be the strange people running around named after countries (This is the Hetalia fandom, mind you; it's a show about personified countries that is rather popular, yet pointless at the same time.), perhaps you would take not of the occasional Doctor Who character: oh, and we musn't forget the Homestucks that seem to be taking over at a rapid pace. There used to be four on at a time, now it's like thirteen; almost beating the rest of AI's population, actually. And then we have the least popular creepy-pasta characters. Such as Eyeless Jack, Jeff the Killer, Slenderman, etc. .
Usually, any other place you would take notice of fandoms would be in Flourite, which holds the somewhat FeralHeart-related Warrior cats clans, Bonfire, which also holds the Feral-Heart related fandom, The Lion King, and of course, in Ficho, we have the famous Poke'mon-derps, combined with the occasional Creepy-pasta character and the orginal Sonic the Hedgehog OCs.
Now, if you have only be in AI in recent times. . then you probably have an idea of what I'm talking about, even though there would be decreased numbers when it comes to some fandom's population back then. But, if you were in there an earlier time, you probably wouldn't of noticed the ridiculously fast rate that local goes in, or the often arguments that take place when a 'randomer' as we call them- provokes a member of a fandom in a ridiculously rude way. (This happens often with MLP, mind you.)
Anyway, if you witnessed today's AI, it's total chaos.
People seem to recklessly disrespect each other, swearing seems to show up a bit more often within local chat (not to mention that thing goes a crapload faster), lot's of older members seem to have disappeared off the face of FeralHeart, leaving the "New Generation" as some of us 'older people' call them, in their place.
But, I suppose I should stop discribing this place to you, since it is somewhat irrelevant to the orginal topic, which is 'What are your thoughts on the 'current' and 'past' Ascension Island?'
I suppose after reading this wall of text you can answer that~ finnaly.
So, what are your thoughts on this 'mini-community' locacted within FeralHeart? :3.
