It's important to have friends to share your fandom with because it makes everything more fun. Sure, it's a wonderful thing to cozy up with your trusty Dune DVD on a cozy Sunday night all by your lonesome, but it's even more fun to make giant worm cupcakes with your gal pals. Or to attend Comic Con with your buddies so you can all dress up like the Cantina Band from A New Hope.
Even if they're just online friends, you need people who can discuss and dissect Star Trek lore in as much detail as you wish without anyone thinking it's "too niche." It's important to have buddies who share your interests, lest you toil in obscurity all the live long day. But in a pinch, memes will do. They will make you feel seen, heard, and understood in all your nerdy glory. So go on and scroll, you're in for a treat.
