"Fandom is a participatory event. In one way or the other."
Welcome back to Fandom on the Rocks, where there’s never a plan — only chaos, retcons, and a lot of feelings about 9-1-1.
In this 9-1-1 bonus episode, we dive headfirst into Season 9, the emotional hangover of losing Bobby Nash, and yeah, that was a whale swallowing a billionaire kayaker. From the four-part fever dream of a season opener to Athena’s latest flashback, Emily and Alison pick apart every questionable creative choice, all while mourning the death of stakes and the unfortunate rise of beige set design.
We also talk about what’s happening outside the show: from fans needing to be right, the algorithm turning us into engagement machines, and how fandom only survives if everyone brings something to the potluck — a fic, a gif, or just a little enthusiasm.
Come for the space rant, stay for the fandom therapy — and remember: if you reach the end of a fic, you leave kudos.
xoxo,
