Falling down the old dead fandom hole and feeling melancholy about it

[gonedutch]

Look, mun, I feel you but...it's over. You're never gonna find the rest of the Burners, or Tennie, or anyone, to play with, alright?!

Move on.

Sure wish I could.

Comments

Oh my God I am so glad I tracked this tag so long ago...

[passengerseatdriver]

Um...your mun might not be the only one who can't move on.

I ~hoped~ and I ~dreamed~...

[gonedutch]

Geeze, join the club.

But at least they have a choice. You and me? We're pretty much stuck in limbo, forever.

It's just... not how I wanted this to go down.

Glad I could make those dreams come true!

[passengerseatdriver]

Tell me about it. Does your mun rant about us getting cut off too soon, too?

[gonedutch]

Mmmm, not so much anymore. Eventually she just kinda ran out of stuff to stay.

Sometimes she makes noises like she's gonna find me a game, but frankly I don't buy that for a second.

[passengerseatdriver]

Mine usually just repeats the same things after she re-watches everything. I think she enjoys pain. [Grimace.] I've seen her inflict it often enough on everybody in her headspace.

Personally, I'm fine with her only bringing me out once every blue moon.

[gonedutch]

You not wantin' to come out? There's a shocker.

And I dunno if your mun could match mine's taste for pain, but I know she wanted me to float the idea of doing something sometime. If it were me, I'd say no, but I know we've got about as much say as we have over Texas eating his muscle mulch.

[passengerseatdriver]

I don't know. She sets the bar pretty high given she enjoys psychologically torturing old men just for "the feels".

[And gagging at the last two words.] Has anybody figured out what's even in that stuff?

A million years late

[gonedutch]

Old men...You know, I'm not even gonna ask.

Ugh...not gonna speculate, either. It's like eatin' Deluxe's throat cubes: the less you know about it, the less likely you are to heave when someone else goes ahead.

It's cool! :D

[passengerseatdriver]

It's really for the best. [Rubbing the back of his head.]

No kidding. Personally, I'd rather just grab a pizza from Antonio's.

[Lives up to the programmer stereotype: could live off of pizza.]

So how've you been? [Awkward transition is awkward but don't want to think about things that should not be food too much.]

jesus take the wheel away from me

[hologramer]

Well, I can't speak for everyone else, but your mun might have at least one person to play with.

Well that's not the Motorcity spirit at ALL.

[gonedutch]

I guess "one's" not "none." That's something.

And better you than someone like, I dunno, Kane, anyway.

i'm living too fast and too free, it's time to pull all breaks

[hologramer]

Right. It's a small here but no Kane in sight, so luck's on our side thanks to that.

Mine's pretty much new to everything so digging through every inch of info hasn't gotten old to her yet.

[gonedutch]

Well, I'm always happy to be out of Kane's radar. Guess I can try to think of this as just more time to work on my stuff.

My mun may have some info, but you probably already found everything already. Wasn't all that much to find, really.

blast from the freakin past!

[kanecokid]

Join the club. Mun agonizes over this every other month. I think you just triggered another relapse.

[someone doesn't look too displeased about it though]

Once a Motorcitizen, always a Motorcitizen I guess!

[gonedutch]

I'm starting to think it's kind of a sickness. And here I thought it'd be hard for us to let go.

Amen to that!

[kanecokid]

I dunno, champ, you seem to be taking it pretty hard yourself. Pot calling the kettle black much?

/hits up this post like half a month later

[aboyandhiscar]

Hey man, I feel you. But it's like nostalgia, we can't get over it that easy, you know?

Join the club m'friend

[gonedutch]

Shoulda known you'd turn up. Getting so a guy can't even be cynical around here.

[There's good humor in it. Dispelling cynicism is basically what Mike was born to do.]

Yeah, I know but...you'd think it'd be easier after five years.

[aboyandhiscar]

[born and ready to be Mr. Positive set on auto pilot for years. He laughs.]

Heh, yeah, you'd think so! But it's like a classic ride--you never get tired of looking at it, and finding one in good condition? S'like hitting the jackpot, man!

So a few years isn't gonna make folks forget something that good. Same goes for me, especially with a crew like you guys.

--whoops, think my player's cringing from how corny that was, but what can I say! I've got one dang good team.

i had to complete the set

[daddytexas]

[ GAAAAAASP! ]

You guys are havin' a party in here and you didn't invite Texas??
