Winter 2025 (not) in fandom

I've spent most of 2025 on a break from fandom, because I was in an emotional funk and dumb fandom arguments were bothering me more than they should have. I spent the past few months reading, playing Stardew Valley, and socializing in the real world, and I feel a bit better now than I did in January. I failed to finish my Candy Hearts treat, but I wrote a few paragraphs of a non-exchange fic, which I consider a win.

This will probably be my last general "stuff I watched" post. I already track everything I watch in my offline journals, and I'd rather keep all my media thoughts in one place. Also, I prefer to use dreamwidth to talk about fandoms I'm actively participating in, not movies I watched and liked and spent thirty seconds browsing AO3 for.
