"scattered audio snippets providing players clues as to what happened at this facility" video game trope but it's repurposed Magic Mouth spells throughout an abandoned wizard tower that your DnD (or similar TTRPG) party is visiting (and expecting to be occupied). The original messages are partially overwritten by frantic, whispered updates on whatever Went Wrong Here
e.g. "Guardians of the tower, arise! Defend your master and his sanct--oh god it got through. It? Them? It's large, but I think there might be one or more handlers. It seems to have defenses against fire in particular. I think…oh shit. Shit!--who cross [so-and-so] will be utterly destroyed!"
near this particular Magic Mouth are several pulverized constructs. ahead is an ornate door, formerly Arcane Locked, now smashed through...

Dark hair for herself. She’s turned her hair different colors before, and it’s always disconcerting.
Does your character have a favorite hair color? >Is it a favorite hair color in general, or a favorite hair color for themselves?
When your character realizes her LI was raised in a horrible place, but he keeps arguing that it is totally “normal”.
Come into a fandom late. Leave early. Write 100 fics. Write 1. Write none. Read every single fic written in your fandom. Read only your OTP. Write only your OTP. Write every pairing under the sun. Make gifs just for your friends. Make gifs to share with everyone. Make art. Make nothing.
Cheerlead from afar and keep to yourself. Join a groupchat. Yell about headcanons with your friends. Leave kudos. Leave comments. Make fic recs. Bookmark everything. Read or watch and then forget it.
Treat canon like gospel. Treat canon like a dumpster fire. Only read/write/art coffeeshop AUs. Decide your corner will be all hurt no comfort. Decide your corner will be all fluff no angst.
Fandom isn't one size fits all, and there is no one right way to do it. So find what works for you, and don't worry about all of the outside noise. It doesn't matter how everyone else does fandom.
All are welcome.
