fandoms have much bigger longevity in rp now since we've grown old, have more responsibilities and less time to consume media. plus, there is a greater tendency to franchise series across multiple movies and seasons. so idk what to tell op, vash and wolfwood gonna be here for a while, get used to them. i kind of like seeing them tbh, spot of color in between the moody la icons. it's not as if dw is going to run out of pages if a certain canon's character gets posted, just scroll til you find a blorbo you vibe with

Really? This could be recency bias but I thought it was the opposite, almost nothing has staying power these days outside of the forever franchises like MCU/Star Wars (which is part of why those canons get so much anon resentment). The Triguns are a special case because it's a reboot of a nostalgia series, it was always well liked but it wasn't actually popular in rp this entire time.

maybe it's bias on my side as well, but i'm definitely seeing people staying longer with the same characters than they used to, and i spot fandoms on repeat for entire stretches of months on bakerstreet. i'm comparing this to, say, 2010s, when you'd have people migrating from the latest It anime to its line-up successor in a month, though.

i think it's like a new canon comes out, 50 people all start playing from it, 40 of them drop their characters in a week, but the other 10 stick with their characters for the next 5 years. if enough rpers remain from the initial boom of interest it lasts for years, and if they don't the canon vanishes pretty quickly.

i think it also depends a lot on the canon itself. stuff like movies tends to have a shorter staying period because you've only got about two hours worth of canon and there's really only so many times most people want to watch a movie, even one they really love. and once you've seen it, that's it. that's all you get for canon, it's over and done with.

but then you get things like long-running tv shows, manga, and mobage that can be constantly getting brand-new content for years on end, and it's much easier for people to remain interested and invested in them for a long time when there's always something new coming up to look forward to.
