Random indeed

Anyone else sit down to do something and wind up unexpectedly falling into a pit of fandom scrolling? It's not doomscrolling, it's realizing people have basically been screenshotting tumblr/twitter/wherever and uploading that to Pinterest and then discussing things there. I didn't realize how much of a thing this was until recently, and even then I don't think it fully set in until this morning when I sat down for my morning flip through the emails, landed on a Pinterest one, and fell down a three hour long rabbit hole of my fandoms co-mingling there.

Mostly it was Yellowjackets stuff, including the original pitch deck for the show and boy howdy was that a fun thing to flip through, but occasionally, as Pinterest likes to do, it'd remember that I will also lose entire hours to Interview with the Vampire fanart/stuff, so it decided to COMBINE them. Because of course there's gonna be crossover beyond just me.

So the first two hours involved me telling myself the lie that I was just gonna look at these three open tabs and not click anything else (liiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeessssssssss), and then just as I was actually closing the extra tabs, Pinterest's like, "sooooooooo... how 'bout some vampires?" and once I indulged them on that, suddenly it was like, "hey, what about Monster High and a crossover with MLP?" and I spent a good solid four minutes wondering why, in an otherwise YJ feed, there was an Apple White (from Ever After High) meme. Like it was a solid choice, but it was also very much missing the opportunity to put Jackie (from YJ) in it and I spent those four minutes wondering if I was just somehow missing her.

Post-work me is not the smartest, ok?

I'd probably have been there longer had I actual snacks to consume at the time, so there's that.

What rabbit holes do you fall down? Tell me so I feel less alone. I know you've done it at least occasionally!
