@run_runesque (Hello passing by.)
My online and offline mantra is “not my circus, not my clowns and the popcorn is stale”.
Treating it as a circus that I had the option to not buy a ticket for helped.
Exactly this. Fandom is a fun distraction from my adult job and adult problems. I'm here to play make-believe and a lot of you are here to hunt each other for sport.
