I'm trying to decide what I want to use this space for, and I'm kind of tempted to use it for the posts that I tag as "thinky thoughts" over on tumblr.

tumblr's great for a lot of things - obviously, I've been blogging there for almost a decade. But it can also get overwhelming sometimes.

My personal account there is semi-dormant since I tend to think of that as a place where I can hyperfixate on my fandom of choice and interact with other people in that fandom - but I don't currently have a fandom that I'm obsessed with the way I was with my last one.

I do miss that feeling, though. A lot.

So I think I might use this space to dump all of these thoughts that I have about social media and fandom and the various discourses that keep me up at night. This is a better forum to have those kinds of conversations. Even when I reblog other people's opinions on tumblr, it feels too much like I'm an audience member watching a conversation rather than an actual participant in it. Especially when so many of the speakers are actually just whispering in their tags.

Oh man, I was in the same boat for about the same amount of time even. There was fic that I could read in that time, but creating was out of the question. Tried really hard to write for what I was reading but it wasn't the same as it had been when I'd been neck deep in Supernatural fic for a while there.

Heh so yeah being between hyperfixations is rough!

lol I actually got an FFN favourite on a Supernatural fic last week and I was like "did I write SPN fic?" Turns out I wrote a few back in like 2012 or 2013.

my last neck-deep fandom was Agents of SHIELD and I just haven't found something to replace it since I left it in season 5. Give me a show with humour and found family and a ship where they're both nerds who are also bantery. There are probably a million with those elements and yet, I can't seem to find one XD

It sounds like it should be so easy, but unfortunately we get absolutely no say in what we obsess over. It's not fair darnit!

right? I totally disapprove of this unfair system! XD
