i haven& #39;t watched critical role in almost a year and honestly? i& #39;m fine with that.
at one point waiting for a new episode every thursday was the only thing keeping me alive and i became so dependent on it that i never thought i was gonna stop being a fan, but it& #39;s crazy to me that i ended up doing that by choice?
honestly it was a combination of a part of the fandom (definitely not all, most of y& #39;all are amazing people) refusing to criticize certain aspects of the show, and from my perspective it kinda turned into hero worshipping, which isn& #39;t healthy for anyone involved
and them having am*nda p*lmer on between the sheets, who is just horrible and problematic in so, so many ways, that left a bad taste in my mouth. vox machina& #39;s story will stick with me probably forever, and i still backed the kickstarter and read the comics
but i think i& #39;m finally at that point where i& #39;m okay with just not really vibing with c2 anymore
this thread probably sounds really weird, but critical role used to be my entire identity and reason for living, and a hyperfixation that probably went further than what is healthy for a person, and now i think i& #39;m just.... happy? not depending on something so heavily anymore
i& #39;m able to recognize that i& #39;m past the point of needing a crutch like that and that i& #39;m making a lot of progress with myself, and even though i& #39;m thankful that the show could help me at a dark time, i& #39;m ready to let it go
