As an American person of Filipino descent young adult person based in the greater Chicago, IL area in the US, who's into the world of entertainment and popular culture, making it as a the largest American-based arts, entertainment, and popular culture brand, who's into animation (cartoons), anime, video games (mostly with Nintendo (as I'm currently playing games on the Nintendo Switch) and Minecraft (Java and Bedrock Editions), live-action, movies, and other types of media like advertising and company mascots. As the animation cast is based in the Los Angeles, CA area (the city I went to back in 2005, when I went from there to Mexico with a cruise from Royal Caribbean, and I was only 6 years old at that time), and the live-action cast in Albuquerque, NM.

Aside from The Casagrandes Movie that will be released next month on March 22nd on Netflix, and new Loud House and Casagrandes graphic novels that are coming soon this year, I'm soon going to get a Luna Loud lithograph to be signed by Nika Futterman at Planet Comicon next month from March 8-10, as I ordered from GalaxyCon, and planning to get a Lori Loud lithograph to be signed by Catherine Taber from Celebworx, and The Really Loud House Season 1 DVD.

Once I get the Luna and Lori Loud, that will be signed by Nika Futterman and Catherine Taber soon this year, I might be one of the Loud House fans that will have all the pieces of media from all of the cartoon-based voice actresses of the Loud sisters. Liliana Mumy will be the lone person, as I only have a Cameo from her. I have yet to get a Leni Loud lithograph to be signed by her. I have both Cameo videos and lithographs from Grey DeLisle, Jessica DiCicco, and soon from Nika Futterman, while I have lithographs signed by Cristina Pucelli, Lara Jill Miller, and soon from Catherine Taber.

This is my special thanks to: Cartoon Based: @catherinetaber, Liliana Mumy, Nika Futterman, Cristina Pucelli, @jessicadicicco, @greydelislegriffin, Lara Jill Miller

Live-Action: Lexi DiBenedetto, Sophia Woodward, Catherine Bradley, Aubin Bradley, Annaka Fourneret, Ella Allan, Mia Allan, Lexi Janicek, August Michael Peterson, and Emily Ford

Honest: Eva Carlton, Wolfgang Schaeffer, and Brian Stepanek

The Loud House is one of my favorite cartoons of the 2010s-2020s era cartoons, even for my favorite voice actresses and longtime voice actresses, Grey DeLisle, Jessica DiCicco, Lara Jill Miller, and Nika Futterman, these ladies have been doing animation voiceover work back when I was a kid in the 2000s watching cartoons airing on Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Nicktoons, Nick Jr. (TV channel), Noggin, and PBS Kids). 1990s (I was born in 1999) for Grey DeLisle, Lara Jill Miller, and Nika Futterman.

Fanning The Flame

We live in a very divided nation, one that finds us increasingly split along political and religious lines. Worse yet, it seems the gulf between opposing sides is widening, with adherents on both sides digging in their heels as if their lives depends on it. It’s too bad, because I really don’t want to be friends with any extremist, regardless of which side they find themselves on. There’s much better dialogue going on in the middle of the spectrum.

But there is a balm that can heal those societal wounds, and it has nothing to do with the hot buttons that trigger people. That balm is fandom, the intense feelings of attachment that people can have toward any object, TV show or movie, book, sports team, or entertainer. Social media is the glue that keeps these people connected, although there can be gatherings and even stores dedicated to the object of their adoration. Political and religious differences take a back seat to whatever it is that catches your fancy.

It’s a powerful force, and marketers need to be attuned to it. There’s money to be made.

It’s what drove many women (and some men!) to wear pink to movie theatres last summer to watch Barbie. It’s what motivates sports fans to don jerseys of their favorite team, and even favorite player, when attending games. It’s what drove me to Albuquerque on several occasions in the last 15 years to attend Breaking Bad parties, not to mention many more trips to hunt down filming locations and assemble them into a driving tour.

And while we’re talking about Breaking Bad (and its prequel, Better Call Saul), I must mention my friends Marq and Ed, who opened The Breaking Bad Store in Old Town Albuquerque. It is half museum, half retail, and 100% shrine to their favorite show. They have a slew of licensed products that the folks at Sony have approved. Then there’s my other friend Marc from Sacramento, who has written two very thick books about both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul filming locations, and other authors who have written very informed and introspective books about the series (I have a chapter in one of those books).

Netflix is on top of the fandom they have created with their original programming. In December 2022 I visited a pop-up Netflix store in Grapevine Texas that featured decor and merchandise from their hit show, Stranger Things. They likewise licensed Squid Game characters to be made into Funko-Pop figures.

Then there’s the state of Montana, beneficiary of hordes of TV tourists wanting to savor the beauty captured in the hit show Yellowstone. What most folks don’t know is that, while those sweeping panoramas were indeed filmed in Montana, along with exteriors of the Chief Joseph Ranch, a large portion of the show was filmed in Ogden Utah, both on a soundstage, and even the downtown area that “became” Bozeman if only on television.

Tourists bring money. Why bog them down with details, right?

Here’s the nice part about fandom: It brings people joy. It is an escape from other painful realities, the social divisions that bring us all such discomfort. They are flights of fantasy, and the camaraderie that can be found both online and at in-person events like Comicons give us outlets for personal expression, as well as opportunities for us to spend money on travel along with memorabilia.

Lastly, fandom can become a lifestyle. It is not at all a new phenomenon, because more than 50 years ago, Dead Heads were following The Grateful Dead from concert to concert, hearing the same songs and set list one night after the other. On a somewhat lesser note, I confess to having seen Trans-Siberian Orchestra 18 times this century, having seen them in Amarillo, Lubbock, Oklahoma City, Fort Worth, and Lakeland Florida. I’m not a groupie to the level of a Dead Head, but seeing TSO at Christmas has become a family tradition.

Some fandoms are short-lived, and go away after the ending of a series or artist. But some live in perpetuity, like sports teams. Nearly eleven years have passed since the final episode of Breaking Bad, but it is still hugely popular, and both the store and a separate private tour company (using a Bounder RV, of course!) rack up impressive revenues. Heck, there are still Ferris Bueller’s Day Off tours going on in Chicago, and that movie came out in 1986.

Fandom is every marketer’s wildest dream, because it gives them the opportunity to make money not just the usual ways, but by leveraging a brand that resonates with its followers. I’m good with this, and should you ever stop by my office, you can see some of my Breaking Bad collection. Just keep your politics and religion in check, because we’re not going there.

The news about Jared going to Albuquerque Comicon makes me slightly more hopeful for Rose City. I think it's very cool that he's making a point to go to these different cities, giving more people a chance to meet him and say hello. If he and Gen came to Portland this year or the next, that would be amazing, especially since I don't plan on doing a CE con ever again after Austin (too expensive, too hard to get to, etc etc).

KNOWING YOUR PARTNER CAN POTENTIALLY MAKE WRITING TOGETHER A LOT EASIER. REPOST. DON’T REBLOG.

– BASICS.

•  NAME: Tori or Vik. •  PRONOUNS: She/her •  TAKEN OR SINGLE: Single

– THREE FACTS.

1. I am Alaskan Inuit. 2. I can play both Bass and Acoustic guitar. 3. I work for Albuquerque ComiCon and Santa Fe ComiCon as security.

– EXPERIENCE.

•   HOW LONG (MONTHS / YEARS?): I have been writing since I was 15 and role-playing since I was 13. So Depending on what you are meaning by “how long” 8-10 years give or take a few months. •   PLATFORMS YOU’VE USED: Tabletop.  Skype, Discord,  Google Docs, etc. All not counting the 11 years of MMO’s.  •   BEST EXPERIENCE: Coming to gether with people that I never would have even thought would give me the time of day, (You know who you are) and making something that is both beautiful and tragic that both the muses and the muns can share and keep as treasured memories. And being able to the turn and give others a tale to read. To what how these muses have come together to make a world that is all their own

– MUSE PREFERENCES.

•   FEMALE OR MALE: I prefer to play female, but when it comes to writing in general it doesn’t matter.  •   FLUFF, ANGST OR S.MUT: I am comfortable writing all that have been mentioned and have no real care for one or the other more. Whatever suits the story is fine with me. •   PLOTS OR MEMES: I can do both. Plots are just easier for me because then I have a goal. Now whether my muse and I can reach it is another thing altogether. •   LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: I prefer longer replies. But can do both. Whatever my r partner is comfortable with. Except one lines, those I just can’t seem to get the hang of. •   BEST TIME TO WRITE: During the day when I have time to devote to the replies I owe. It usually allows me to get semi-decent quality replies without having to get up every twenty minutes.  •   ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S): A little. Possibly 13% my muse, but really she is just what I wish I could be with inspiration drawn from life.
