Honestly, I get into most of my new fandoms through fic first. I end up reading stuff by authors I trust to always be great, usually completely spoiling everything for myself in the process, then go read the original work once I feel it. I got into MXTX like this, most recently, but tbh this is how I've found fandoms since like 2010.

[(Anonymous)]

I 70% agree. There are still stories and things that I like and find novel. But there's definitely a huge swath of things, which is much larger than it was when I was a kid, where I just feel like I've seen it all before and it's not interesting or worth my time. It's much, much, much more difficult to find things that are still interesting.

[(Anonymous)]

Let me correct your secret for you:

'Colin Firth doesn't do it for me, whereas Matthew McFadyen does.'

There's no way Colin Firth can be described as a turd, he's a beautiful man. That's not even like a closely held passion of mine, just objective observation.

For me Firth's intensity is what makes him the ultimate Darcy for me. Also, imo, Macfayden is not at all attractive, so there's also that.

[(Anonymous)]

It doesn't have to be a zero sum game. More than one person can be attractive, and you don't have to be personally attracted to them to acknowledge that they look nice. But I know you are the P&P troll again so oh well

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed re: Colin Firth, I find him much more attractive than Macfayden. But part of the reason is that I don't really enjoy the 2005 take on Darcy's character.

[(Anonymous)]

Same here tbh. And if I do watch/read/get into something new, my interest fades a lot more quickly than it used to and I'm right back with my old faves.

These past few years it might be a comfort thing though? Because reality has gotten difficult enough I don't have the (emotional) bandwidth for a lot of new fictional things. That sounds silly, but I think it might be (partly) the reason.

[(Anonymous)]

Now THIS is spicy

[(Anonymous)]

That's where characters come in. Even if I can predict plots, I can still be drawn in by well-written, well-acted characters. The older I get, the more I'm interested in the characters. If I don't like any of them, I will stop watching a movie or TV show after an ep or two.

[(Anonymous)]

This. I mean, yeah, I guess if your only interest in a story is how the plot is ultimately going to go, then it would be boring. But stories are about so much more than that - the characters and their relationships, how the plot gets to that final destination, things like that.

[(Anonymous)]

Lol same. It almost feels like reading original fiction but without the world building and primarily relationship based.

I just go by favourite tropes and if I like the fic then I'll look into the actual fandom. Found some pretty cool stuff that way.

[meadowphoenix]

Yeah, the more tropey something is, the less I care if it's unrealistic if it's useful in the narrative. also coughing up blood to indicate spiritual distress is just *chef's kiss* to me. at that point, it's just realistic.
