Just existing

[xans]

I've been in a bit of a weird limbo lately. I'm not overly active in any particular fandom, I haven't been reading a lot of fanfic or watching/rewatching any shows that make me want to write reaction posts about and engage with others watching it too. I'm still low-key obsessed with Moon Knight, but like, I'm very particular about what I want to consume in that fandom and also weirdly antisocial about it. I think there's a couple other fandom discords that exist that I'd like to be a part of, but I'm too chickenshit to ask for an invite.

I also haven't been strongly drawn into any new shows (we're kinda sorta watching Hanna, Halo, and the live-action ATLA but I'll forget to put them on a lot).

Currently I'm reading the Pegasus serirs by Kate O'Hearn, which is not bad YA stuff, although... like, I asked my husband what he thought of the ATLA show that we've watched so far, and he said it was ok, but also kind of weird how it seemed to fluctuate between corny/cheesy and then rather violent for something with YA protagonists. And this book series I feel kind of the same.

I seem to be keeping anxiety at bay, though there was a week there not long after the school year started I thought things were going to set me off again, but we're handling it.

that's such a weird and frustrating feeling. i'm kinda there lately too where i'm lowkey... not tired of, but maybe satisfied by, my previous main fandom (the terror). and i've fallen back into good omens, but apparently that fandom just hibernates between seasons -- or i'm not looking in the right places -- so i don't really have a community for it, and that makes it harder to keep the interest up, you know?

Oh, yes, I enjoy Good Omens, but I've never been deep in the fandom, so I don't know where the most active parts are at. But I seem to be in several fandoms like that, where I'm on the periphery and/or it's dormant between seasons, so not really getting the rush of an active fandom, yeah. And as much as I love my various shows or books, it just feels that none of them are having a strong hold on me atm to be super passionate about.

Yeah, same, I'm kind of 'one foot in the door' in several fandoms rn and it's quite frustrating actually! I keep starting writing stuff and then not finishing it because I can't talk to anyone about it lmao. I feel you!
