Anyone else feel the syndrome hitting them hard again after the movie?

Not even just the movie but the press tour after it and seeing the then and now pics/edits

Not evwn sure how to describe it. Heartstopper got me through a lot but the feelings around it are so complex idek how to word it.

F Playing A4A Fandom crossover slice of life angst RPs

Coming back to rp adter a long time away.

I usually find slice of life gets boring but angsty slice of life is my bread and butter. I also enjoy fantasy.

If you have a fandom/character that you've been dying to rp lets do it! You take a character from your fandom I'll take a character from mine. We can tell each other all about our fandoms, add our own flare to the characters to make them more our own. I have lots of fandoms but I'm really wanting to rp Heartstopper at the moment (again I'm open to crossovers)

What I'm looking for in an rp partner

18+ because I am 18+

Someone who likes chatting OOC - sending edits that remind us of our characters, making playlists, having a yapping session. Indoctrinating each other into different fandoms

Someone who is chill and easy going - I wotk odd hours and have health issues so sometimes my replies can be slower or other times if for example I'm stuck in hospital with nothing to do I'll be online a lot.

Someone who is enthusiastic about the roleplay and getting to know each other's characters

Someone who isn't just using me to rp their fandom with no interest in my side, characters, plots or ideas

Someone who doesn't mind crossovers and going into things fandom blind

Someone who uses third person story style rp (quotes for dialogue, normal text for descriptions)

Someone who enjoys angst and isn't afraid to go into darker themes and stories

Someone who doesn't mind no/minimal smut (I'm bad at it and usually just do fade to black)

Someone who is flexible with replies - by this I mean you don't just send one word for every response but you also don't expect an essay when the moment doesn't call for it. For example, for me rapid fire moments with heavy dialogue are usually shorter whereas big dramatic moments or characters being introspective will be longer.

Semi lit would be preferred - I don't care about grammar or spelling once it's not so bad that your messages are hard to read or have absolutely no effort put in.

If this sounds like you please DM me! I primarily use discord we can swap info after we've chatted for a bit to see if we vibe!

How do people make fanfic friends within their fandoms nowadays?

I've always made fandom friends quiet easily but in the last few years I've drifted out of fandom spaces and even when I do get back into them it seems people aren't interested in writing and discussing fics with fandom friends? Doing fandom rps, exchanging fan edits etc.. I don't know if it's because I'm older now? Making fandom friends just felt much more organic when I was younger. Now it feels like an exclusive club I can't get into and I miss it lmao 😭

Finally updated my fic after 2 years!!! Feeling really accomplished rn!

Just wanted to post about the fact I updated my fic after 2 years! The fic meant a lot to a lot of people, especially me, so I'm really proud to have updated it. I am a bit nervous all the OG readers are gone which makes me a bit sad but I'm gonna finish it for myself anyway and maybe new people will find it along the way!

Finally updated my fanfic "Open When.." after over 2 years partially thanks to you guys!

Sorry if you see this twice I had to repost it because of formatting issues on my end!

I just wanted to thank you all for your help and nice comments. It really helped me to get back into it. I don't know if it will ever have the reader base it once had but knowing how much it means to me and how much it meant to some people at the time, it feels good to reclaim that. I have a long way to go but I know I can give it a good ending when the time comes!

Fanfic help!

Hey sorry I wasn't sure what to flare this!

I don't know if any of you are familiar with the fanfic Open When... well I'm the author and after 2 years I'm trying to update it. I have written countless chapters and they never feel right.

If you don't know the fic essentially Charlie dies by suicide and the fics follow Nick through his grieving process. Charlie leaves Nick letters for different situations he might find himself in.

I know this fic isn't for everyone and that's okay. I'm not posting for clout. I'm not even going to share the link unless people ask for it

BUT if you were to read a fic like this or if you actually have read it- what kind of letters would you want to see from Charlie? Is there anything you wouldn't want to see in a fic like this

I care about this fic a lot and im trying to get it right

I wasn't going to be one of those authors who posts an update that isn't actually a chapter so that's why I'm asking here. I'm hoping to get some inspiration. Not a copy and past idea I like to add my own flare to things

Trying to update my fic after 2 years

So reading volume 6 of Heartstopper and watching the movie had really re-inspired me to go back to my fic and update it. The thing is, this fic is heavy, Charlie dies by suicide and the fic focuses on Nick's grief through letters Charlie left behind for him

The issue I'm having is the fic meant a lot to people (and a lot to me). I've always taken care to get it right. Usually i will just write a chapter for a fic without evem having multiple drafts. With this fic I've often scrapped huge chapters that don't feel right.

I wrote a chapter recently but I didn't post it, it just doesn't feel right. I don't know if it's because it's been a long time (although I've gone periods of time without updating it before). I want to do it justice and I don't want to abandon it but I also don't want to let myself down posting a chapter I don't like or let my readers down by posting something for the sake of it. Maybe I'm also stalling on it bc I would be so sad to update it and have everyone be gone or have new readers that aren't kind and respectful and lovely.

My comment section was honestly so lovely not just to me but to each other and I would be so sad if that was gone.

Has anyone experienced this? Did you get past the slump and post? I started a new fic to try and rebuild my writing skills and respark my passion but it's TBD if that even works

Looking for friends of all genders in their 20s in Cork!

Hi guys! I'd love to create a friend group in Cork. I have a few ride or dies but I'd like to expand my social circle and Cork is very cliquey.

I'm 24F I'm kind of a nerd who loves animals, reading, writing, gaming; binge watching TV shows movies, going out for food, going on side quests. I prefer raves to regular nights out but don't pass up the opportunity to get dressed up for a night out. Matching Halloween costumes is on the bucket list! I did it one year and it was really fun. I also love travelling and going to concerts, really I'm open to trying almost anything at least once.

I'm very into witchcraft so it would be cool to make some witchy friends

Also queer so I'd love to make friends who are also in the queer community!

All genders are welcome. I want to meet different people with different perspectives

If you're chill and kind we'll get on great regardless of interests! I'm also totally fine with you trying to indoctrinate me into your hyperfixations!

Send me a DM on here if you want to know more about me or so we can swap info! I mostly use snap but also have insta and discord.

A rare win! I have hope for the first time in a long time

I finally got to see the nephrologist today and I was so nervous I wouldn't get to actually see her (usually in the public system here you see the residents who pass messages along to the lead doc which always leads to miscommunication in my experience). I have been invalidated for so long, told that it was normal for there to be blood in my pee bc I'm a young woman (tf??), told the pain was just period related, told that the recurrent UTIs were my fault (one doc told me i should shower after every pee!!)

But the nephrologst validated that it's not normal, the pain IS in my kidney and she even thinks i was misdiagnosed with UTIs and put on antibiotics at times I shouldn't have been.

I'm getting tested for more renal related issues, she gave me medical equipment so I can take my own urine samples directly to the lab in the hospital.

I have suspected I might have nutcracker syndrome and every doc has dismissed it or said they don't know what it is but she took it seriously and said it's a possibility! She said they're going to start thinking outside the box.

I'm so happy to just be believed. To be listened to and validated afrer 3 years of suffering (and I already have other chronic illnesses from well before then so this adding to it was so much)

I don't know what will happen next. More specialised blood tests were done today. Maybe nothing will come of it, maybe the road to diagnosis will be long but at least I'm finally on the road and not a million miles away!!

Anyway I just wanted to share it here I try not to talk about my health stuff too much in real life so I won't get much of a chance to actually put it into words

This gets a bit rambly so ill put a TLDR at the end

Look we can argue all day about the situation. There's been a million posts about it here already

Adam shouldn't have blown up and the people babying him for being disabled is something I find abilist as a disabled person myself (although this could be a whole other post) I wouldn't want people excusing my behaviour due to my disabilities. That being said I think Adam had a very normal human reaction to being beaten down and screwed over. Even when David was blatantly bullying him he tried to laugh it off and lighten the mood. David calling Adam useless when he was terrible at every trial he did was just 💀

Now before anything kicked off I did not like David at all. He seemed very rude and entitled and like a sore loser. He also comes across like a hypocrite. If Adam was carrying on like him at the live final about name calling he'd probably call him a snowflake and say it's 'just words' and all that bs. This isn't me hating on him just to be 'team Adam' he made a lot of rude and questionable comments and was misogynistic and selfish through the whole series from his first entrance.

Jimmy gave me shit stirrer vibes from the start but the shift from goading David himself to them being besties was weird to me.

Now onto the actual point of my post. What were they like on their OG seasons? Were they this controversial? Do you think they ramped it up for relevance (all publicity is good publicity to some people)

I'm just curious if there's much difference in how they acted or how they were edited? Is there anyone who liked them in their OG seasons who despised them in this one?

Also not relevant but everyone saying the Sinitta hate is only bc of the live final, I personally lost all respect for her when she called Gemma a joke. It seemed more like a dig than a genuine question.

TLDR: What were they like on their OG seasons? Is there anyone who liked them on their OG run who didn't like them this time around? Do you feel there's a big difference in how they acted? Do you think they carried on like that to be controversial for the sake of being relevant when it was obvious they weren't going to win?
