Transcript by OP

My older sister introduced me to fandom when I was nine - we were hardcore Mulder and Scully shippers (still are). To her, fandom was a phase. To me, it became a part of life. She knows this.

So why is she constantly nagging me to watch shows when she knows we watch them differently?! I'm so tired of finally giving in and watching whole seasons, then wanting to talk about it with her only to find out it was an interest for like a week and she doesn't even remember a bunch of stuff that happened. It's like she wants to feel a bit of that old fandom fervor from someone but then drop it. I'm tired of being her random hit of fandomy enthusiasm.

Can't tell her this because I love her and texting is how we stay close when physically apart. If I ask her to stop texting recs to me I know she'll take it personally, and I don't have the energy for her to be offended at me.

[(Anonymous)]

I'd thank her for the rec and say you'll put it on your list for the next time you're looking for something to watch because you trust her judgment on what's good. Then actually put them on a list, for later if/when you feel inclined.

A) If it's true she loses interest in a week, she'll forget all about it and won't check back anyway.

B) If/when you do decide to watch something on the list, you can thank her for the rec from a while ago and chat about it so she knows her recs aren't disappearing into the ether.

[(Anonymous)]

This is a weird one for me. If non-fandom people want to watch a show with me I'm fine just...watching a show with my friends or family? And doing fandom on my own time. I don't understand why you're mad that your sister wants to watch shows with you. I must be missing something here. Please someone feel free to educate me!

[(Anonymous)]

She wants to bond with you? You should be happy you have family that wants to bond with you with shared interests. If she moves on, so what? Continue with that fandom online.

[(Anonymous)]

I think this is a case where two people are just engaging differently - she sees reccing things to you as a way to stay close, but you see fannish discussion as a way to stay close. So I think you need to engage a bit differently with her recs and not expect a fannish discussion from her. How else do you stay close with her? Do you rec things for her?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I'm with everyone else here. She doesn't fandom anymore, you shouldn't expect her to.
I watch shows with my family to spend time with them, not because I expect them to squee with me about my OTPs or any other fannish thing.

Your best bet is to temper your expectations and watch not only for the love of watching, but also the quality time spent with your sister.

[(Anonymous)]

Mate, she just wants to share a bit of joy with you cos she - a wild guess here - loves her sibling. Get over yourself and at least try to be nice in return.

[(Anonymous)]

I think the main problem that you don't do it at the same time? And she forgets stuff by the time you watch? Maybe try some online watch party with streaming or smth and then go your separate ways of engaging.

[(Anonymous)]

i get where you're coming from, anon. that does sound frustrating.

My condolences Secret OP. I used to love having fandom-like conversations with my siblings when we all got into the same show, but in more recent years my mental health was going through the wringer.

I told my siblings, friends and coworkers I couldn't get into new stuff because I couldn't focus on entertainment stuff very well. It made me sad but I needed the break.

Everyone I've told this to have been nice. They stopped reccing me things or they rec me stuff with no expectations for me to check it out ASAP and talk to them about it.
I'm sure some of them had their feelings hurt but none have taken it out on me. Like, none of them said or did anything that directly was in response to me rejecting their offer.

As time has gone on, I've been able to get back into some shows or movies. My talks to others on them has changed but they're still enjoyable conversations.

Maybe Secret OP and their sister just need to change up their expectations and interactions in regards to tv viewing and talking about them.

[(Anonymous)]

This is so wild to me. My sister also got me into fandom when I was 9 -- I'm still in it way, way later, but not the same fandom. My sister has always been a little bit more of a casual fan and/or our fandoms don't overlap. But she still loves talking to me about shows we've both liked when we DO both like them!

I think some people prefer 'winning' an imaginary fight than they actually enjoy shipping something, and this is why I think some sections of fandom are Like That.

It's wild to see the ST fandom ending go through all the other shit endings
"What? You were gay baiting us all along? No, there has to be to a secretly good ending."
"Somehow, the old baddie that hadn't been a focus for years has returned."
"I was strung along for years to end with this lazy stroll to the finishing line?! This is it??"
"Wow, look at how the tied all the loose ends on this turd sandwich for an unnecessarily long time."

Makes me glad I stopped watching seasons ago. I just knew the Duffer Bros didn't know how to end it and it wouldn't be worth it to keep watching to get a satisfying ending.

I know we've all been over this ad nauseum and we all know there's never going to be another book....but it will never NOT blow my mind that there have been a grand total of three Bran chapters published since the Clinton administration.

I'm not into this show, I just don't care for most modern-setting media it tends to bore me to tears and I know this would be no different.

This isn't the secret, the secret is that I'm already starting to get a knee-jerk irritation response to seeing gifs/stills of the show because the people really into it are starting to pull that 'this is IMPORTANT to watch and if you don't you're a homophobe!' rhetoric that is both boring an irritating for this queer to witness once again.

No this piece of horny gay media is not going to revolutionise the world, and people not caring about it isn't problematic or whatever else.

I've been steadily blocking anyone who starts posting or reblogging things like that so I don't get grumpy at a TV show that has done nothing but garner some annoying fans.

An image of a box set of the original Bloomsbury editions of the Harry Potter series. Accompanying text reads, 'I miss the HP fandom from before the last two books released. There was so much more creativity and fun back then, and the focus was on Harry and friends. After HBP and DH? It became the Severus Snape show, and I hate it. Not least because his fans won’t fucking shut up about the greasy bat.'

Not entirely sure on the details of the two, but it feels like Batman might actually have a higher burden of proof than the SVU detectives.

It is the little costume details I love in the Lower Decks/Strange New Worlds crossover episode. The way they included the Starfleet Delta on the soles of Boimler's shoes, especially.
