rpanons | help meme please

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

my main/current fandom is one i got into well over a decade ago. it's pretty much dead right now, but i still love it passionately and would be happy to talk about it with people if there WAS anyone to talk with. my main rp character is from this fandom too, and while i don't mind being a lcw, i worry a lot that i'll get a reputation for being That [Character] because it's literally the only one i play and the only one i want to play.

i keep thinking that i should find a new fandom, something else to be passionate about, but of all the stuff i've consumed since my fandom died nothing has appealed to me as much as it has. i've seen lots of stuff that i liked, that i looked forward to seeing the next episode or installment, but nothing has sparked that excitement and desire to really delve into the universe and explore it with other people. i miss that a lot - the excitement and the sense of community - and don't know how to deal with it.

idk if this is actually about my dead fandom, if it's part of my depression, or if it's dissatisfaction with the way fandom has changed in the past decade. it's just a really lonely, uncomfortable feeling and i wish it would stop. i wish i could get into things more easily so i would have people to be excited with again.

holy shit, I could've written this in my sleep.

would you be willing to admit what the fandom is?

oh, big same, nonny. been in my main fandom for over a year and, yeah i can get into new fandoms but they always die out and i end up coming back to this main one. i wish i could carry that same level of excitement and longevity into a new fandom where there's other active fans in it.

it's lonely. i feel like an rp ghost unable to move on, but if i don't think about it like that i still have fun rping and reading wikis and fanfics and stuff.

just no one to share it with anymore.

oh, man. actually same. i had to quit playing my character because no one seemed to be interested in tagging them anymore even though i used to get plenty of tags and cr with them in the past.

it's a sucky feeling especially when i know that i come off as that person who is so picky and doesn't like anything new. for the record, i don't at all begrudge my friends/other people for liking what they like, but their interests just don't engage me the way my own fave canon does...

i hope you can find some kindred spirits, anon, or a new thing that jazzes you.
