I saw a bit of this yesterday in the "what do you do when no one else is around" thread and thought it'd be fun to discuss a bit more!

For me, I used to really bad as a kid. As in I'd have to leave the room because I was so excited when anything got even just a bit romantic in my super hardcore kid shows. I've definitely toned it down since then and watch most things without getting in a tizzy, but I still don't watch stuff I'm super emotionally invested around other people because I get so excited about just the littlest things. Not leave the room excited, but still embarrassingly excited.

I get ticked if I can't watch certain shows in the dark. Like Supernatural or Hannibal. It helps set the mood. And I want it to be can hear a pin drop quiet. So, please, no talking in the background or clicking on the keyboard.

That's my fannish thing.

Supernatural is one of those shows that can literally be difficult to watch unless the lights are off. It's not as bad as Angel was, but some of those scenes are just too dark to tell what's happening with the lights on.

I'm pretty much only in one fandom at a time (although I like other stuff I only really LOVE and stan for one thing at a time) but when I'm in that fandom I am hardcore.

I've watched Community live using terrible wifi and a bad livestream picture and lag at a national park in the middle of nowhere that had no cell phone service.

I'm one of those people whom barely pays attention even if it is my favourite show, I sometimes pause at odd moments go make dinner and start the episode up again 5 hours later...

I do the same with books, except then it is skimming or leaving the book on the shelf for months even if I really enjoyed it and sometimes in the middle of a chapter which I find really interesting. It took me a year to read Good Omens the first time I read it, and that is one of my favourite books.

I do rewatch and reread almost everything though, to the point where I know every episode/chapter mostly by heart...

I am one of those people blessed ~~cursed~~ with the ability to remember mostly everything I read or hear and my brain is great at correctly falling in the blanks if I ever do miss stuff when I watch or read stuff, I don't miss out on anything important.

~~I'm an awful fangirl, I don't react that badly/happily to things in my shows, nor do I cry about character death...~~

I used to really bad as a kid.

I think you accidentally a word...

OP

It unfortunately happens to me all the time. I double check it, too. D:!

I rewatch/reread. ENDLESSLY. Like, I will watch the episodes I loved the most of my favorite shows a ridiculous number of times. And I will constantly pick up and read random bits and pieces of my favorite books until I've probably reread every single passage at least a few dozen times (but I rarely reread cover to cover, so I wouldn't know exactly).

Except there are certain episodes of some shows that emotionally affected me so powerfully (that includes some really really really funny ones) and the initial experience of watching them was so thrilling that I can't bring myself to watch them again because my memory of how I felt the first time I watched them was so amazing I can't bear to retread it and shatter that memory.

I draw fanart, wrote fanfics, talk about it to my friends... nothing out of the ordinary for a fan.

Well, almost.

Until today, whenever I think I am alone I would imagine the characters interact with themselves and the surrounding environment and would sometimes talk to them and run with them, even when I know it's just empty air space beside me. My mother has caught me several times doing this and I think she's a bit worried for my mental health.
