Moss, she/her, 30s. Mostly dormant.

It's been so long and I know I don't have announce this, but I find myself needing a little closure. I'm fairly certain my time drawing for OFMD is done. I truly had the best time drawing for this fandom and I want to thank anyone who liked my art at any point over the last 4 years.

Lord of the Rings fanfic I found through Yahoo Groups, around 13 or 14 years old. Everything back then was on individual websites, probably hosted through Angelfire or something. Finding anything at all that you liked felt like a victory. It was awesome.

Ok im curious and I want to see something! Everyone reply or QRT with the first fandom you read fan fic for, the platform you read it on, and how old you were at the time. I'll go first Fullmetal Alchemist, Fanfic.net, 15

Me? Suddenly obsessed with an online multiplayer game? Absolutely unheard of. Never happened before. And yet, Deadlock has me by the throat. All I want to do is run around as my little goth lady, push my little lanes, and throw my little skulls at people.

I love figure skating so much 😭😭😭 This was my lifelong hyperfixation before OFMD and these Olympics have fully launched me back into it. I've missed this beautiful, insane sport so much.

I may not be able to draw but I am doing my first oil painting (non fandom) in about 15 years. It's ugly but it exists. I'm also fully back into my Japanese study hyperfixation from a few years ago. Surprisingly I remember way more than I thought I did, which feels awesome. 🔥

I miss drawing Ed and Stede, but nothing I do will let me draw them. I've regained so much of myself in the last six months, but the thing that hasn't come back is enjoying art. I'm trying to be patient, but I think I need to free myself from the expectation of making any fandom art for a while.
