The stretch of the year — often autumn through early winter — when comedy festivals, specials, and tours converge and the culture suddenly has opinions about standup again. Standup szn is when Netflix drops its biggest specials, when every comedian has a new hour on the road, and when Twitter becomes a battleground for defending or destroying whatever controversial bit someone did. For fans it's the most exciting time on the calendar; for comedians it's when the stakes of every set feel higher.
Stan mode is the activated, full-throttle state of being where someone drops all pretense of chill and goes full fan. When stan mode kicks in, the person is streaming every song, liking every tweet, defending their fave in every comment section, and refreshing for updates every twenty minutes. It's not a permanent way of existing — it's a gear shift triggered by an announcement, a comeback, or a piece of drama that reignites everything. People enter stan mode voluntarily and sometimes come out of it mildly embarrassed.
The time period when a particular ship feels most alive — when the content is flowing, the cast is doing press together, a new episode dropped, or the internet has collectively decided this pairing is the one to discuss. Ship szn is chaotic, beautiful, and temporary. It might be sparked by a red carpet moment, a behind-the-scenes clip, or a ship-baiting exchange that has the fandom collectively losing its mind. During ship szn, the fan art floods the timeline, the fan fiction updates drop in rapid succession, and anyone with a different opinion is briefly unwelcome in the discourse.
