“How to still be an active fan of a creator when previously being an obsessive fan for most of your teens because they were one of the few good things keeping you from killing yourself in middle school so now trying to become a more casual fan feels like a betrayal and I cannot get into new fandoms because the high I got in middle school from the extreme emotion switch cannot be replicated both because I’m literally twenty and I’m far from suicidal so now and I love these creators with my whole heart and still engage with all of their new content but I want to move on while also still being a fan but I just can’t?”

#this is about dan and phil lol #literally my pfp and url is inspired from them and my identity partly is them #they were my first healthy adult relationship I saw as a child so it feels fucking hard to turn away #and I just can’t get into any new content because it’s not the same #also I’m really picky in who I like to read fanfic about and most fandoms don’t fit that criteria but that’s irrelevant at this time #idk #the phandom is dying because we’re all getting older and have learned how to be healthy about an interest #and it hurts to watch it happen to yourself #idk I can always fall back on it when they upload new content #that’s actually what I do #I still get that same high when they upload #but it fizzles out after a few hours #WHICH IS HEALTHY #but I’ve spent so long obsessing over it that this casual treatment feels like betrayal #I feel like I can’t be the only one going through this though #hmu to create a support group for people who were rabidly obsessed with dnp in their early teenage years accompanied with severe mental #illness and are now getting older and healthier so you don’t get that same obsession but you’re still a fan but you can’t join any new #fandoms and so on #also if you just happen to know of a fandom stanning something that includes a real carnon gay relationship where both parties are gay and #the fics fucking slap please lmk #I mean ig it can be fictional but I just have a thing with them not being fully gay irl #I’m not gonna start because I don’t want to be cancelled #so many people have gone through this phase of going rabid to normal why did no one warn me #rae’s rambles #dan and phil

Girl failed the med school exam like 8 times I dont think she'd do all too well when faced with the burnt crisp of her captain

#mouthwashing #anya mouthwashing #i think anya should be allowed by the fandom to not be the best at her job #i find her more interesting as someone trying to reach a goal but unable to make it #curly being kept alive is less so an impressive feat and more so the torment of keeping someone alive but never aleviating their pain #also itd make jimmys comments crueler in how hed target her insecurities

well it finally happened

so my dad is almost 80, this man's been making Spirk content since Star Trek started airing basically

he never knew ao3 existed, he just thought people stopped writing fanfic when ff.net died, like it was a fad that had outgrown him or smth

he clicked an ao3 link in my pinned last night, realizing that they were in fact clickable

he's mad at me for not telling him earlier. "I don't have a lot of years left in me and there's so much to read"

he's gonna spend his whole retirement reading trek fanfic now jesus christ

#never let anyone tell you you're too old for fandom when my dad's in the trenches rn #turning off reblogs cuz this was never supposed to escape containment #our relationship isnt great so getting asks about it is awkward

being a fan of a female fictional character is like yes im in love with her soulfully and carnally but i am ALSO her defence attorney her ambassador her pr manager her representative her missionary her right hand arm man her silly rabbit. her scholar her explainer the last man standing in her army. phd in explaining her nuance and depth priesthood in her church. could i be talking about other things?? move on?? maybe!!! were i not the animated suit of armor in her temple bound to protect her for eternity

#men are too strong in fandom so it is our responsibility to pick a woman and stand for her and never abandon your post

Y’all want Taylor Swift to be gay so bad but you won’t even write femslash about her

#I was curious so I looked it up 1038 fics on ao3 tagged Taylor Swift and f/f #like I’m not necessarily encouraging people to go out and write rpf #but it’s wild that arguably the biggest musical artist right now who has a huge community speculating about her sexuality has so little fic #like this isn’t a good or bad thing I just think it’s interesting #idk I’m not actually a swiftie like that #like I listen to her music and keep up generally with what she’s doing but I’m not really in the fandom #so there might be something I’m missing

Y'all have gotta get more insane about platonic relationships like you are about romantic relationships. We need to get more annoying about them NOW. I need to see more meta and losing our minds over them. Get more annoying NOW. More than that. More than that also.
