So this has changed over the years. When I was younger I would seek out books and movies with horror and gore type elements but then as I got older it kinda shifted. I went through this brief phase where I watched every single movie or TV show in existence that had a character with a chronic illness because whumpy for me has always been a way for me to take my problems and pains and put them on someone who doesn't actually end up harmed because they're a fictional character.
I do much the same when it comes to fanfiction (writing and reading) granted I haven't been doing much of either lately... But, depending on the time I probably have been doing more writing lately as I'm trying to finish three big projects that have been dragging on for a year or two. I possibly—possibly—might enjoy writing than reading only for the fact that writing is a huge de-stressor for me. Mostly because of my anxiety, but it's the same reason that I have my rule where if I'm writing for a fandom I don't read any fanfic from it. Mostly because I don't want someone to say "hey I wrote something similar" or someone say I stole something or anything. And I would never steal something someone else wrote ever and I know fandom is always saying if something you see inspires you just give credit where credits due, but still just gives me all the uncomfy icks 😅.
