Earlier this year I was struggling with burnout with one fandom. I was writing for other fandoms too but they were just weren’t as inspiring.
A year ago when Critical Role announced Campaign 3 and that Robbie would be joining them I was excited. I finally found out I could watch Critical Role on twitch ith. For the longest time I thought it was just a podcast 🥺.
But then my comp would get warm and I didn’t want to wear headphones the whole time. I forgot i had twitch on ps4. But after the switch got the twitch app. My most used console. I was watching after the first of the year. I then watch Vox Machina the animated series as it released.
I had always wanted to play dnd. I just never had friends to play with or I was just too shy. Im finally creating characters and just going down this dnd wormhole and I have no regrets.
It brought back my creativity and I’m thriving. I’m also feeling more like myself. I thought I had stopped hiding parts of my nerd self like I did in high school.
I’m excited to see what I do. Maybe make my own world to use these characters in. But I’ll always be a fic writer. Just glad I’m creating.
I have also distanced myself from one of the fandoms I was big in. Between the burnout and the drama. Has just weighed on me.
I will always be thankful to the friends I made and still engage because they love any content I make. Same goes for them. I love them for any content they make. We may have met in one fandom but I will follow them even if they stop creating for it or just move on.
