My friend has been deep into the same small fandom for years and I am kind of sick of hearing about the same three characters and how amazing they are and the same stories from this short miniseries. I hope they find a new fandom soon.

Secret because I feel like a bad friend thinking this way.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, like... if they are otherwise a good friend/they give you the chance to talk about your thing whether or not they're interested, your best best may just be to suck it up. Sometimes The Thing That Grabs Someone winds up being a miniseries, or a movie, or a stand-alone novel, and there really is only so much THERE, but the intensity and duration of the interest isn't in scale to that, and... it is what it is?

If your friend isn't normally super fragile about special interest stuff, of course, you *could* say 'hey, I'm kinda burnt out on X right now, can we talk about Y?'-- if there's a shared interest you can pivot to, or like... 'hey, actor from X is doing Y now, are you going to watch that next?', where like, you're not getting down on their thing, but you are just opening the door to focus on something else?

[(Anonymous)]

Nah. It's not being a bad friend to want a break from hearing the same squee, or to want a change of pace. I hope your friend is good about listening to your thoughts, at least.

[(Anonymous)]

No. You aren't a bad friend for not wanting to hear about the same thing all the time. Is your friend willing to talk about things unrelated to fandom, or at least willing to listen to you talk about things you find interesting?

(I have a strong suspicion about which show this is. FATWS, am I right?)

I have finally found a medication combo that is helping with my bipolar. The only downside so far is that it seems to have completely killed my fandom feels. I just don't get that obsessive rush and love for media.

Overall I guess it's good, but I miss that deep into fandom feeling.

[(Anonymous)]

I kind of relate OP. First of all, congratulations on finding a helpful medication regimen. It can be so frustrating trying to get the right balance with meds and dealing with side effects and such.

Second, yeah, when my mental health was much worse and I was in a horrible IRL situation, I had seemingly endless energy for fandom. It was escapism for me, and the creative challenge of writing fic appealed to my brain in just the right way when I was doing badly. I miss the excitement and obsessive creativity, but overall I'm very happy to be where I am now, but I do sometimes wish I still had the passion for fandom I used to.

[(Anonymous)]

not the same medication but been there done that. at some point you make peace with it, in the sense that, you still miss it but you're finally okay not recapturing it. I really wish I still had the urge to ship, but I somehow just can't feel a thing for cute fluffy romance anymore. que sera sera.

[finlaena]

Yeah, felt this one. I started Wellbutrin earlier this year (after trying a carousel of meds before) and while I'm finding it's working for me a lot better in a lot of ways, I'm also finding a similar feeling of fandom feels not really being there anymore. It doesn't give me the same dopamine rush it used to. Don't say I miss it much but at the same time, it's bittersweet.

That said, I'll take this over being unmedicated.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. Very, very much same. Then again I also felt horribly lifeless and disinterested/annoyed by anything without them, but when I had those moments when I felt like myself, I was just so eager and happy and in love with my faves just as I always used to. Now it's like everything's smeared. I'm not so depressed, but even while I find happiness in the things I love, I'm still quick to become exasperated or annoyed anyways. Everythings muted in a sense, but then again, I've seen a half a dozen psychiatrist and then some for well over half my life now, and I'm still not properly diagnosed. Since even they agree I definitely have more than the major depression and general anxiety thats been assigned to me. ugh.

I love making secrets about fandoms I’m in that are… pretty much dead so I can find fellow fans of shows I like and talk with them, or at least be happy knowing they’re there.

[(Anonymous)]

And I'm on the other side too afraid to make secrets about my niche fandoms in case it's too obvious it's me lol.

[(Anonymous)]

As someone mostly into older media and smaller fandoms, I LOVE when people do this! I don't always know the thing but sometimes it gives me something new to check out. And of course it's really exciting when it is something I'm into.

I understand not enjoying really badly done CGI, especially from studios that we all know can afford good artists and give them the time to complete their work.

But the general animosity towards any use of CGI at all is annoying as hell at this point. Every single movie/show uses CGI in come capacity, even if it's just VFX colour grading, and frankly most people complaining about it don't even seem to know what is and isn't CGI half the time.

CGI creature that doesn't exist is 'CGI slop' but the comped in background doesn't get a single peep of crit because the whiners can't tell it's CGI.

(VFX studios are some of the worst treated in the industry as well, so the complaints about people's hard work that's already being undervalued just rubs me wrong).

I've been so happy to see Sister Sage finally humbled and see her plans implode. I can't say that in the main fandom spaces I hang out in though, because they'd scream "racist" at me for doing so. When did the evil "genius" manipulator get transformed into the best in positive representation for black women? Some people made the one of the worst people in the show into their "see, look at the black woman outsmarting the white guys" flag and are now upset that the smug villain just got their comeuppance.

Now that I finally got around to playing Where Winds Meet, I'm incredibly entertained by all the same sex ship bait/subtext of several side characters. Not even counting the gay and lesbian sects. Especially considering it's a Chinese game, they did manage to be very unsubtle about a lot of things.
