Discord and CC

eldabeSo I've always found Discord really overwhelming as a platform, so while I joined every Cursed Child fan discord I could find, I rarely actually could bring myself to check them.
But I took today off of work for a sick day (got REALLY sick over the weekend) and by the end of the day, denied the chance to mindlessly scroll facebook and twitter and tumblr, my brain was rested enough to be like "hmmm, what's happening on discord?"
The two CC discords are dead, is what.
Not completely surprising I guess? The last convo in the "fic rec" part of one discord was a bunch of people yelling about a fic request where someone used some invalidating language about a (sometimes headcanoned) bi character, and then it DEVOLVED into a "top/bottom" fight.
And the last thing people seemed to talk about was the change of Cursed Child from a two part show to a one part show, which, uh, I legit still cry about sometimes (shut up, my fandom soul is fragile and soft) so THAT WAS A FUN THING TO REREAD.
And then all the conversations sort of stopped ages ago and, IDK, on the one hand, it was a pretty toxic and difficult fandom for me in a lot of ways, so maybe it's a good thing. On the other hand, as I'm pretty uncomfortable on tumblr and twitter, it would have been nice to see if I could find people on discord to talk to, because my CC fandom friends drifting away from this fandom and my brain? My brain is still eaten alive.
(...I mean, WHO AM I KIDDING, I still follow the AO3 feed for Torchwood fics, I don't really leave fandoms so much as "sometimes I'm LESS into this thing than I used to be.")
