In relation to this weeks lecture and workshop discussion about hyper and deep attention in terms of the Harry Potter Fandom, it has become clear to me that fans in general devote their life and the majority of their time to who or whatever they are a fan of. I notice on social media all the time different types of fandoms whether they are fans of artists such as like One Direction, Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars etc.. or current popular TV shows like Riverdale or 13 reasons why, devoting their time to who or what they are a fan of. Especially on Twitter, I notice what the worlds top trends are, and the majority of the time, it is fandoms taking over Twitter, as a mass community, posting about every little thing such as the shorts Justin Bieber got ‘papped’ wearing or the new tattoo Harry Styles just got, and what each tiny detail of the tattoo symbolizes. Therefore, just by scrolling through social media it has become clear to me that fans, when they are thinking or ‘worshipping’ who or what they are a fan of, only use deep attention, as they place the fandom as the main priority in their life, like nothing else matters or is worth paying any attention to.

Underneath, I have added a screenshot of what is trending on Twitter worldwide today, you will notice #PositivityForNormani is trending, relating to Normani from the girl band Fifth Harmony, who’s fans are tweeting together as a community to ensure Normani is always happy, as they noticed she was feeling sad recently.
