I think I need to take a little break from fandom for a bit.
Somewhere along the way shipping stopped feeling like something fun and started feeling like something you have to defend in a courtroom 24/7. Every interpretation needs evidence. Every headcanon needs citations. Every opinion turns into a debate.
And that’s just… not why I’m here.
I like stories. I like characters. I like imagining things that aren’t on the screen. That used to feel playful and creative and shared. Lately it just feels exhausting.
It should be safe to like what you like. It should be safe to think something is romantic or interesting or tragic without having to justify it to strangers all day.
I like when things don’t have right answers. Lately everything feels like a “gotcha!”
And right now I mostly just feel sad about it. Which is a weird feeling for something that used to make me so happy. Like getting broken up with by a place you used to love hanging out.
Anyway. I’m probably going to step back for a bit. Not forever. Just long enough to remember why I liked this in the first place. 💔
