In this house, we love BINI fan art. I went to a concert for the PPop group BINI recently and got this bus ticket and stamp-like stickers from a fellow Bloom (that's what the BINI fans are called).

It's this laro energy that I found in the fandom that made me want to connect with people.
Post Eunice Beatrice Braga ‪@ebbandflowph.bsky.social‬ In this house, we love and fan art. It's this laro energy (laro roughly translates to playful in this context) that I found in the BINI fandom that made me stay and want to seek out community. A bus ticket with holes punched on it like you would get in typical Filipino buses on the left and three stickers that look like stamps on the right. From top to bottom, the stickers represent different songs from the Philippine pop group, BINI.

From top to bottom, the stickers represent different songs from the Philippine pop group, BINI. The topmost sticker is purple for Na Na Na, the middle sticker is yellow for the song Pantropiko, and the bottom sticker is black representing Strings. Each sticker has elements connected to the song and its music video.

I would update this to add how indoor spaces would likely get more investments, but they'd require ventilation and air conditioning to deal with the heat and that creates a feedback loop that could worsen climate change due to the higher use of greenhouse gases.
How will it affect fandom? Climate change can impact how people will spend their leisure time, with countries like the United States potentially an increase in outdoor activities due to more moderate and hot days (Willwerth et al., 2023). Meanwhile, countries below the equator like Australia which experience extreme heat and flooding are now grappling with the risks of these impacts on players, sports spectators, officials, and infrastructure, challenging the sustainability of outdoor activities and different sports leagues (Australasian Leisure Management, 2024). This will affect where and how people will spend will leisure time. Should we fail to keep the temperature within the 1.5 ℃ threshold, for example, we could see the following effects: Fandom activities becoming more centered on online/virtual spaces and platforms, due to extreme heat affecting who gets to participate in outdoor or international events; Increased cost for fan events, to account for potable water demand, sun and heat protection, and insurance costs; and extreme heat, greater amounts of rainfall, flooding leading to decrease in use of open outdoor spaces, potentially leading to governments deinvesting in public spaces.
