Hello! This is maybe a strange question, especially since we don't know each other, but you seem kind and reasonable.

How, exactly, does one realize they have Drarry brain rot? Say... Do you maybe hear a song you've loved since before you even cared about Drarry and you suddenly think of them? And then you immediately realize you know another song and the two songs together would be like like telling a Draco POV and another is the Harry POV?

Because... That may be my affliction. Alas! Me with the no storytelling talent.

So I figured you'd be nice enough to tell me if this is normal for daydreamer types or if it's time get off AO3 and Tumblr.

Hi there - this was an interesting ask. I think what stands out for me in particular is when you talk about 'brain rot' and 'affliction' and 'it's time to get off AO3 and Tumblr'.

What I'm hearing with those words is that you feel (or want to imply) that there is something inherently wrong with the behaviour you're describing.

So my answer to you is that Drarry brain rot doesn't exist, because it's perfectly valid for you to enjoy Drarry and to find inspiration in everyday things. Don't get off either AO3 or Tumblr, if anything, lean in! If Drarry fandom makes you feel good - why would you want to stop!?? Nothing rotten about that, especially if you are engaging with others in a positive way and not giving others a hard time if they enjoy things in a different way to you.

I know for me, I have always been a huge daydreamer in general and I've had fandom daydreams specifically since I was a little kid. Star Wars and Star Trek and Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal and The Neverending Story and The Chronicles of Narnia and Fraggle Rock - and that was just before I turned 10! I think what helped me was that my parents were also really big fans of sci-fi and fantasy, and went to Star Trek conventions in the '80s and my mum had an enormous collection of Star Trek novels (shoutout to @dduane for writing several of my personal faves) and she built a huge Romulan warbird model that sat on top of the TV, and they treated this like normal, not unusual or fringe behaviour. They never hid it or acted like it was embarassing. High five to my parents for being a couple of cool nerds.

I think the long history of pop culture fandom generally and the size of it, and the 'mainstreaming' of fandom over the past 15 years, demonstrates that it's very normal to enjoy pop culture, to be a fan, to be part of fandom, and to spend time thinking and daydreaming about it. It's as normal as people who are super into sports teams or fashion or cooking or home renovation. They might not be zoning out to songs and imagining Gordon Ramsey sensuously kissing Heston Blumenthal (but maybe they are, and thats okay), but they're probably having other kinds of daydreams about their thing, whatever it may be. Those things are not more valid or legitimate than being a Drarry fan.

In conclusion:

if you have been in fear that your enjoyment of Drarry has been too much, too preoccupying, and says something negative about you, then give that feeling a little kiss on the forehead and chuck it into the sea.

You might not think you have a storytelling talent, or you might not have the confidence to put yourself out there, but your ask was quite whimsical, why not give it a try? Or if you've been super inspired by those two songs and you don't feel ready or able to have a crack at it on your own, maybe you can join forces with someone else to make it happen, or use it as a prompt in a fest (like @hd-wireless) and give it life in another way.

okay perhaps I am a bit too far gone to be objective about this new season of Sunny, but I talked to one of my friends this weekend about the new episodes and she was like “I don’t know I don’t feel like it’s as good or funny anymore.” And I was like in a way yes.....but also...did you see all the times Mac and Dennis were together??? Did you see Charlie and Dee are friends again??? Country Pop Boyband MacDennis?!??!? What about Dennis in the beginning of LW7 in that striped sweater?! And later in the black hoodie!?! Artemis? PEPPER JACK?!?! THE FRAGGLE ROCK THERMOS?!?! 

Like fine my brain may be rotted to it’s core but I’m enjoying myself again at least. Finally.
