I never got into that fandom, just the canon, but your overall statement reminds me of why I don't do journal-based RP anymore. It just got incredibly important and I had to just walk away. I miss it sometimes but also I still wonder why I let what was happening to a doubly fictional character matter to me that much. I knew I wasn't the character, I knew I wasn't in love with my RP partner but I worried about the game all the time.

tl;dr Yeah, I know what you mean.

I definitely know someone like this in a different fandom. She's gotten so invested in a ship that it's taken over her whole life in an unhealthy way. I love her dearly, but I really wish she'd tone it down some and step back to look at her life and how pathetic it's become.

Oh yikes. I'm uncomfortably reminded of what I was like when I was younger when it came to fandom. It was almost all I would talk about and I would find any excuse I could to reference it. I've learned to moderate over the years, and I think that's the best thing you can take from fandom experiences like that: the rush is great, but when it's all you concentrate on, it loses its fun and becomes a NEED.

Glad to hear you've moved past that phase in your life.

But if it wasn't for you, how did you become obsessed with it? I'm glad for you it's over now anyway!

So what are you obsessing over now? Because a tendency to obsess isn't going to go away just because you've changed targets.

OP

First of all, wat.

Second of all, I suppose you can...kind of have a point? There are times when I just go "fuck the police, I'm sitting at this computer and writing!" I like actually getting into things when I do them -- I like being able to appreciate them without being distracted, and sometimes I can just go hide in the corner with the book or the notepad for a few hours before I go back out to socialize decently.
But that's really kind of a stretch. The Difference Between Then And Now is that I actually do the socializing part instead of skipping out on things to spend hours thinking about lol shinigami. I still do fandom, yeah. But I don't let things actually take over my life.

I'm being so serious and "profound" about this. OTL

Now I'm just sitting here wondering if you were a member of Justice.
