Just a question, for those from age 30 above, like do you still keep fanarts, fanfic, merchandises of your favorite fandom(s) even though you are disillusioned with life, busy with careers and spouses and children, working on whatever obstacles life throw at you and all that? Im in my early 20s and I keep a lot of fanarts, fanfic and snapshots in my folder and just suddenly think about this.
EDIT: thank you for the replies (and reblogs) everyone! It's pretty amazing to read all of your answers and I appreciate all of it. I'm sorry if I cannot reply to all of you since it will make the chat pretty long but I still check it out ☺️

Gotta love how Zombieman has a repertoire of tactics to deal with all the troubled, superpowered people around him... he behaves so wildly different in every case and still he always seems so HIM.
With Isamu: be fatherly
With Amai: Annoy the fuck out of him. Gently.
With Genos, Fash and Tatsumaki: BE PATIENT. Don’t interfere unless they’re about to physically fight each other (again)
With Dr Genus: AXE
With Genus, alternatively: ‘you created me now you deal with the repercussions of me being ME’

Dancing with capybara, swimming with sharks
I know that a frequent tedious gripe of some fans is that they wanted to see Amai Mask showing his stuff in front of the other heroes. You know, punching monsters and reattaching bits of himself, and that sort of thing. Like we see below.
When it came to looking good in front of his peers, things did not go well for Amai Mask in the manga.
Coming back to how the manga differs from the webcomic, this last chapter has made me realise why Amai Mask couldn't be centred on the field like he was on the webcomic.
His not looking good has been a huge blessing in disguise. He'd be dead or in Metal Knight's monster holding cells. The heroes in the manga are seriously on the case of monsters masquerading as humans.
It’s not that the heroes in the webcomic are more stupid or less concerned with justice. However, they are very self-absorbed units. Like capybara. If it’s not a capybara issue, why should they take notice.
The heroes in the manga are not little self-absorbed units the way they were in the webcomic -- and they compare notes. It’s like swimming with sharks... safe until they change their perception of one into food or a threat. No way jose could he have been seen to do something like this and go unchallenged.
There’s no fault in Amai Mask’s strength in the manga. The casualness with which he lifts a large piece of reinforced concrete one-handed and tosses it away attests to that.
His regenerative abilities in the manga, are if anything, far more impressive. No clean cuts required! It just wasn’t his day for looking good.
As it is, Child Emperor might have seen him dismembered -- if he wasn’t entirely preoccupied with what happened to Zombieman -- but it looks like he's too ill at the moment to cause issues. He’ll get better though.
Amai Mask faces other threats. From Iaian and his fellow disciples smelling a rat and looking to start digging into his background. The destruction of the Council of Swordmasters and the consequent time Atomic will need to sort out their affairs will buy him some time, but it won’t last.
And, unbeknownst to him, Do-S is still alive... and very, very keen on blackmailing him.
The sharks are beginning to circle our shape-shifting hero. Right now, the scent of blood is very faint but the trail only leads one way.
The danger he’s in is real: we’ve seen how much stronger the S-Class heroes here are than their webcomic equivalents... and they’re on edge after the way things went down. He’s not unaware of it: he’s been looking for a hero to lead the way and he’s surely aware he needs to find that person fast. His words to Zombieman and Child Emperor carry an entirely different weight already.
Before it’s too late for him.

So, Jade Strider, huh? What’s her deal? She still seems very Jade but like more vulgar and definitely dealing with some shit.
THANK YOU FOR THIS QUESTION MWAH
YEAH jade strider is very jade. imo the strilondes are very malleable when it comes to switching their guardians around versus all the prospit bitches who tend to retain so much of their 'original' personalities and i base that largely on the fact that dave and rose seem to be incredibly impressionable while john and jade tend to be more rebellious with their guardians. dave engages in the irony bullshit, rose engages in the passive aggressive mind game war, john complains and bitches about his dad's lame bullshit constantly and jade.... U_U jade.
so yeah, jade strider is dealing with some SHIT. in the killswitch universe, all the guardians are fixed points that force whoever they're with through the same plotline. so bro strider will always train the kid that lands on his doorstep and that training will always grow into something twisted as hell, just like mom will always drink and neglect her kid, and dad will always do his best to nurture his kid to the best of his flawed ability, and jake. U_U JAKE........................
also:
it's so fun thinking about rose strider vs jade strider because ultimately, rose is playing a mind game with herself, and is actively sand violently self-harming on top of everything bro is doing to her, and that's why she ends up so ultimately fucked. meanwhile, jade copes by just going into brain empty mode. 100% ID, impulsive as hell, probably got some stunted emotional and social development that she is just NOT going to think about ever. so she honestly seems like. so well adjusted in comparison but :) can a strider ever be mentally well the answer is no HAHA
