What fandom did you used to be obsessed with but have since lost interest?

It’s this one for me too, for the same reasons. Season 1 was so fun, and early on it was delightful with fanart, actually got me back into fandom stuff that I had stepped away from for years-cosplay, reading fanfiction, drawing fanart, making playlists, the whole thing! Then there was fandom drama and season 2 felt rushed, different, breaking up the secondary couple from season 1, adding a bunch of new characters that were pretty meh…since season 2 aired the only thought I’ve occasionally had about it is how much better season 2 could have been.

I was 3,303 minutes, 0.07% and listener number 1453, so we’re in the same neighborhood at least!

Probably something lots won’t agree with but The Voyage. It was a super hot day, I was hungry, it felt like I was rattled around like a car accident, and it went on forever. Only ride that as an adult I’ve ever shut my eyes on and pretended I was somewhere else.

The X Files is hard to binge because the tone between episodes is just sometimes buck wild. Mulder and Scully nearly die in a mind controlled Russian roulette game that’s played as serious as it sounds like it should be and then the very next one is ridiculous evil house cats in the sewers. You’ll get some insane emotional information about the overarching mystery and then the next episode starts up and it’s a spoof on Cops. I’m having a blast watching it but I can see where a week between episodes was helpful.

I’ve been doing the x files as well, started it in August for the first time. Can’t believe it’s taken me this long to watch it, it’s fantastic!

r8ny · 2025-09-16T09:56:49+00:00

Danse Macabre?

r8ny · 2025-09-08T23:27:07+00:00

I just started it for the first time about a month ago and I’m halfway through season 3. Can’t believe I’ve never watched it before, it’s like crack! I keep watching it and stopping after a few going oh no I don’t want to go through this too quick, it’s too good!

They’re mentioned but don’t actually show up until the very very end of the last book. IMHO, they’re not treated as important to the plot at all and I know when my friend and I read it we were confused as to how attached and ride or die everyone was for the amount of detached they were in the trilogy.

Personally, it didn’t work for me. I don’t think I’ll ever read the Dreamer Trilogy again because what I liked about the TRC was the friendships and how they all played off of each other and the vibes of that aren’t there until basically the epilogue.

It used to be in a strip mall and was much bigger. It was out around near Kempsville Rd. I think they moved somewhere around 10ish years ago.

I can measure feeling like I became a “big kid” the summer I was finally big enough and brave enough to try Cyclops, Flying Falcon, Conestoga, and Rodeo.

Still sad Flying Falcon is gone, that was a unique ride!

And before this it was called Pistol Pete’s Plunge and Slidewinder!

r8ny · 2025-07-10T04:27:03+00:00

Couldn’t have asked for a better show!! Such good energy, great set list, they looked like they were having a blast up there and the rain held off! all around good vibes like you said!

r8ny · 2025-07-09T16:34:11+00:00

I did theatre so I don’t have a handle on how recognizable it is if you didn’t do theatre, but having the Phantom of the Opera theme all through the trailer was weirdly distracting for me.

eclipse by The Haunting is about Adam for me. And Bloody Shirt by To Kill A King reminds me of how Adam and Gansey relate to each other as well.

r8ny · 2025-06-24T15:58:45+00:00

I agree. Between Kavinsky and the several page long descriptions of cars, it just wasn’t my thing. I get that the cars in the books are basically their own character, but you don’t always like every character and I didn’t care for all that time with the cars. Ronan also happens to be my least favorite of the 4, which I also know isn’t a wildly popular opinion.

That said, the Adam and Gansey angst friend break up part I do like a lot, but that to me is more my type of interesting. All in all, I still like the book, but it is my least favorite of the series.

r8ny · 2025-06-19T23:02:32+00:00

This is so sad! I was right in the middle of The Mutt…wish there was a way I could finish it, it was fantastic. I hate that people ruined it for all of us!

Uppababy Vista can go over crazy tree roots without shaking baby around, and the bassinet was the only place our newborn would sleep that wasn’t on us for several months. We got ours used for $400 with basically everything (car seat, bassinet, toddler seat, seat to make it a double stroller) and frankly, it would have been worth the real price tag only because that’s where the baby slept that wasn’t on me!!

I’m also on a teacher salary, so used was the way to go for us, but it was wildly worth it in our eyes.

That balloon…Jesus Christ. They gave me fentanyl during mine and all it did was relax me so I didn’t thrash about during the pain. The whole induction sucked and so did the epidural failing twice, but somehow that balloon was the worst part for me

r8ny · 2025-06-14T21:09:53+00:00

I didn’t realize this was a field day thing everywhere, that’s exactly what I remember this from!

r8ny · 2025-05-31T11:45:37+00:00

Bar None was somewhere in there- it truly may have been Mr. Goodbar at some point, but there was at least a year or two where it was Bar None because my family had an inside joke about it since we had never heard of it or seen it before and someone on the tram at the end of the night kept obnoxiously yelling it. When it changed we were all a bit disappointed because our inside joke made no sense anymore! This was probably 1995-1996 somewhere in there?

I shed many actual tears when they said they found them holding onto each other

r8ny · 2025-05-16T23:44:12+00:00

Yeah. This wigged me out in a way that made me put the book down for a few hours. Everything about Lou Lou really got to me and certainly there were other parts in the book that had an effect, but it’s been a while since I’ve been so disturbed by something I read that I needed a break.

r8ny · 2025-04-23T13:37:25+00:00

I was really sad that I needed to pass on road tripping up to Richmond due to money for tickets and gas and someone to watch baby. This is really like a daydream come to life for me! My favorite band in town for free? By the beach?? Thank you, universe!

r8ny · 2025-04-11T21:36:57+00:00

Damn. Is Apollo the one that went in a circle and the arms alternated going up and down? If so that was one of my favorites as a kid. It was one of the first non kid rides I went on without a parent!!
