#catsandwitches thoughts

my entire family all have plans tonight’s football game, meanwhile my plan for the evening is to watch the long live the black parade livestream on my ipad in the peacefulness of my bedroom and listen to whatever insanity frank has put together for the b stage and celebrate ray toro’s birthday

staring out of the kitchen window and longing for my wife (ao3) who is away at war (down for unscheduled maintenance for who knows how long) and hoping she will be back in my arms (up again so i can read my bedtime, morning, and noon fics) as soon as possible

need someone to yearn for dramatically while running across the windy moors and past dark castles in a long white dress, hair in messy waves and flowing around me in the wind as i call their name like one of the characters in the gothic romance classics

i truly don’t understand how someone can like literally anything in a casual manner. like, i watched superman in the cinema this summer and now i have binge read batman comics and redone my entire tumblr layout to fit my current interests. this spring i watched bbc sherlock and promptly consumed all other sherlock holmes media i could find. last year, my tumblr, tiktok and twitter were all agatha all along. for the last year, dan and phil have had me in a chokehold. when i was finally allowed to watch stranger things, it consumed my entire existence, ate its way through my brain. (free palestine!!) i discovered the marauders fandom and made art, wrote oneshot fanfiction, and associated real life things and concepts with the characters. (FUCK JKR BTW!!!) percy jackson got me into fanfiction when i was around eleven, it has followed me ever since. my first ever interaction with gay fanfiction was through percy jackson, and look at me now!

for every media i enjoy more than just a little, i go to ao3 to read fanfiction about the characters, so i can get either a happy ending or just more of them in general. at the ripe age of seven i read the first harry potter book and i was never the same. (again fuck jk r*wling, trans lives matter, trans rights are human rights, protect the dolls) fandom has shaped my identity since forever, and i truly don’t know who i would be without it.

i miss the portable dvd player i had when i was younger :(( i so basly want to buy physical media because my disgust and hatred towards streaming services is constantly growing.

i want record players, cd players, dvds, books, paper newspapers!! i want to collect movies and tv series and books and comics and music

the letterboxd game where you read unhinged reviews and make your friend guess the film is my new favourite thing

does anyone else have reoccurring interests that just appear full-force for a couple months where all you think about is that one thing and it’s all the media you consume, and then another interest takes over for a while and then the cycle repeats
