Posted: Tue Mar 06, 2018 10:43 pmSorry it took me more than a month to comment on this, I've been very busy at college and this was a lenghty read that I wanted to read properly.
I understand how you feel, sometimes I feel I am alone in this hobby, because, as much as I love talking to other fans online, it will never be the same as talking in person, sadly, while a couple of friends also like the franchise, they like it mainly as part of our general geekness, maybe they have some toys and know stuff from some cartoons, but that's it, my family and closest friends being pretty much tired of me going onand on about my favorite thing in the world, something so important to me that it's shaped crucial aspects of who I am, the reason I am pretty much still a child despite being 24, the reason I chose to study engineering as my dream is to be a toy maker someday, so it is kinda sad and lonely sometimes.
