#I've jumped into multiple fandoms over the last two years and um.

[vool-zam]

hey, I'm likely shrieking into the void rn. and probably two ppl will read this. but. I ranted about this on my old blog/in the tags. and. it's still on my mind 💀

just wanted to let u all know that I want this blog to be a VERY conversation-friendly and collaborative space!! I wanna follow ur stories and art w/bated breath and screech about them in the tags/comments!!

part of what burnt me out on simblr the first time around was how isolating/weirdly competitive it began to feel. all the weird hoopla about big/small simblrs. keeping ur blog "clean" and full of only ur own content. the anti-reblog/commentary culture for the sake of aesthetics. feeling like u were on the grind to always produce "content" that somebody would look @ for five seconds & then never again.

and ofc, most of that was very internal. @ the end of the day, ur experience in a community is what u make it. but, I mean, I can't deny.......it burnt me out.

this is even more apparent to me after being in other fandom spaces & having the polar opposite experience. it's really shown me that fandom is only truly sustainable when everyone is excited about the same stuff/willing to engage w/each other.

so. tl;dr: pls feel free to chat w/me on here. link me to ur stories/gameplay!! I really wanna have FUN this time around. u know.
