Fuck do I feel this. I have actually thought about making pretty much the same secret before, but never got around to it. I also felt like it sounded overdramatic, but I seriously feel this way. I feel like fic, while amazing and fun and satisfying, has stunted my overall growth and development in "real life." I put so much emotional energy into these ships and fandoms that I ignored basic things and didn't even realize it. Now I'm in my 40s and have no friends other than fandom friends, no partner, and I feel like I skipped out on a lot of milestones I see people my age having done.

And yeah, you could say just stop reading fic but at this point it's the only thing giving me emotional satisfaction. I used it when I was younger as basic escapism but it's morphed into this thing where it's the only way I seem to be able to experience emotions.

It's pitiful and ridiculous but I can't seem to stay away. And I read one fic and immediately go searching for the next one. I don't even sit and enjoy the satisfaction of a good fic, just move on for the next hit.

I feel so stupid even venting all this out. But I'm glad you made the secret OP, it makes me feel not so alone and ridiculous.

I hate when I'm super stressed my brain is like here are 100 ideas for fanfiction stories. Definitely happen when I need to study for tests or working (lol). As for reading too much fanfiction? idk if it's necessarily a bad thing though, OP.

this channel has been keeping me going since last year.

(Anonymous) 2025-07-02 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I've shipped canon and non-canon through my fandom lifetime, but jfc this exactly OP.

I never expect my non-canon ships to go canon when I ship them, I just like the vibe and do my own thing in fandom as I always have, and if my ship doesn't end up happening? Oh well, it's not an actual issue and I get so weirded out by people who turn that not-happening into some injustice screed. No one is plotting against us, the writers just didn't consider it in that way and that is not actually a crime.

Plus maybe it's just me when I ship non-canon but I'm there for the canon dynamic anyway in canon so if they're friends their continued friendship in the canon is still going to make me happy. Because that's what made me ship them in the first place.

(Anonymous) 2025-07-02 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I think a lot of fanon shippers are so preoccupied with winning some imaginary fight that they're not even having fun with the ships they supposedly love.

(Anonymous) 2025-07-02 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yesssss.

(Anonymous) 2025-07-02 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
tbh I've been in fandom spaces for 25 years now and it's so weird how the expectations have shifted about things becoming canon. There's always been subsets of fans who want/expect/demand that but these days they're a lot more prevalent than they used to be.

(Cookie crumbs are more fun imo. Putting the cookie together and figuring out how to bake it just right is a great deal of the charm of fandom.)

man insisting that a fanon ship is or needs to be canon spoils the fun of shipping fanon in the first place. i'm not here to argue that it should be canon or was meant to be, i'm here having fun figuring out what it'd be like if they were a romance.

do kids these days not enjoy the mental exercise of that or what?

(Anonymous) 2025-07-02 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
YEEEEAH this.
I'm currently into the Arcane fandom and heavily into Jayvik and the amount of people being either salty or completely elated that TPTB either dismiss or "canonize" them being love interests with their comments is completely baffling to me.
Who caressssss... The show has ended. We have a closed canon now where things are left to our interpretation.
I actually prefer my ship to either be nebulous or completely doomed in canon so then fandom can just make up scenarios in their collective hivemind and create incredible stories just to have two characters kiss.

I'm partial to the music video, but I was a teenager when it came out, and it was one of those defining "welp I'm clearly bisexual" moments. They were all hot, but I had it BAD for Christy Turlington.

Good to know that as long as a rich man buys things for me and gets me deep under his thumb, he can get away with trafficking me./s

To say I am disappointed is... doesn't even begin to cover it. ughhhhh its so disappointing. I know he was guilty of SOME things but.. ffs..

i feel like the prosecution should have brought in an expert on methods of coercive control and abusive situations/domestic violence .
