help i'm turning into a flake

every time i pick up a character i can only hold onto them for about 3-4 months and when i reach 3 months it's like i hit a block and lose all motivation for them. generally for various different reasons but it's always at three months that's becoming a trend. i used to be able to play the same characters for years! i don't know what to do, i definitely don't want to be this way. i don't really like memes and memes are kind of hard to compare with games so sticking with those for three months first doesn't seem like it'll work for me. i'm not sure what else to do other than maybe switch to only playing ocs no one will care about anyway.

try to canon review when you're starting to lose steam?

also try to keep from being burned out, if you're living and breathing one character/fandom for three months you're gonna have to "flake out" on it after that time. stay away from kink memes, tons of fanfic, and fanart solely for that character/series. and tumblr. keep your interests varied or you're destined to burn out.

thank you anon, that's actually very helpful as i do tend to get very single-minded when it comes to fandom and i'm always looking for that "one character" that i'll be able to play for years but obviously that hasn't been working out.

i'll try not to get too caught up in only one fandom/character and find more variation!

like above anon said, canon reviews are a great way to refresh your love of a canon. so it keeping yourself involved in multiple canons so when you feel a little burned out you can move to a different interest and then come back. it's the same reason a lot of players have multiple characters in the same game, so they don't wring themselves dry on one character alone.

if you know people who you can have discussions with about the character and/or canon, go to them. it helps because you find you're always going to notice something new or different that didn't stand out to you before. AUs and multiple canon points can be fun too. Just keep trying different things on the side while also still having your primary version because then you don't feel like the one is stagnating.
