[LampjePockelé]

Switching up star wars and star strek in 2023 is truly a girl boss move like I respect it so much.

[ryleer.]

As a Marauders fan, hearing someone try to explain The Mauraders makes me realize how deeply unhinged the whole community is. Like we built an empire from NOTHING.

[sofcarolq]

Carley pronouncing half the actors names wrong and confidently calling star trek "star wars" really adds to the unhinged vibe

[dgnas]

people have been shipping johnlock since the 1800s and for that alone it deserves babygirl status

[selectedshipper]

The fact that the top category is ‘babygirl’ just proves that Carley grew up on Tumblr

[BC-]

Good thing I had 10+ years of tumblr experience to prepare for this test. Also hearing marauders-era hp fandom explained out loud is even more insane than having been in it.

[orangeelliot]

I cannot tell you how the sentence "There are conspiracy theories that Taylor Swift wrote it" made me feel 1, 000 years old.

[daisymae]

Carly I’m still waiting for the full deep dive into the marauder fandom

[jordanfesser]

The Marauders fans truly ar ethe greatest at just coming up with detailed and incredible ships between characters that are mentioned literally once and I admire that deeply.

[scliffbartoni]

The mania around Dan and Phil was truly insane

[jessicamattes]

The fact that Carley fears the Kaylors more than the Larries is truly baffling to me. I wish the wrath of the Larries on no one ever. I fear the Larries with my entire being

[amolove]

The thing i love about the marauders fandom is that everyone really went “bet imma make up a random backstory for this character that is mentioned once” which lead to people writing the most heartbreaking, beautifully written fanfics in ao3 (like those fanfics are laced with something I swear because they are so addicting and actually good)

[blakemathews]

i was an insanely prolific jegulus aO3 author my sophomore year of high school until i got hospitalized for a hypomania/depressive episode and the doctor put me on lithium and i completely lost all interest in them😭😭😭u just triggered a huge memory for me wow

[kato]

The fact the Dan and Phil are still in a partnership and owning an apartment and working together after what they went through together is mind-blowing to me. I just have so much respect for them 🎈

[k_rinabeena]

respectfully, destiel belongs in both babygirl AND electric chair category bc the impact it had on the culture?? undeniable but the cost that was paid in exchange? brainrot

[marenzelewski]

Honestly whether or not Kaylor or Larry ever were a thing... believing they're still together is just absolute insanity. I cannot phathom even thinking that. Like !?!???

[GFO]

as someone who has only seen the marauders fandom from afar i would absolutely love to see you do an entire deep dive into it, like it’s actually insane how much media has been created for characters either never mentioned or only mentioned once.

[seaturtle]

with all the ships that were straight up like "99% of the material was completely fabricated by fans" im reminded of why goncharov, the movie that was completely fabricated by fans, took off on tumblr

[dagnyholt]

I’m assuming this is probably because Carley is Canadian but I can’t believe she didn’t mention how when destiel became canon it took over twitter and it was on election night. It became more popular on twitter than the election!!!! Also they are not brothers

[cassiel.]

Dan and Phil finally recovered a little from the PTSD their fandom caused them and brought back the gaming channel, I could cry.
