- Denial: “I don’t have to read canon or fanfic or post meta about VC in my free time. I can stop whenever I want. They’re just a pile of dysfunctional vampires anyway.”
- Anger: “This is taking up a lot of my free time but SHUT YOUR FACE I don’t have a problem I can enjoy and read other stuff!”
- Bargaining: “I promise I’ll never engage w/ this fandom again!!!…. Right after I post a few last rants/finish the next book/find a little more fanart…”
- Depression: “I CAN’T LIVE W/O IT I NEEDS IT” *collapses on the floor, big ugly crying*
- Acceptance: “I am trapped in this fandom for the rest of my life and I am ok with that.”
