What's Your Guilty Pleasure Fandom?

This is an obvious answer coming from me, but I'm open to spewing my fangirl wherever I can~

Arcane League of Legends

Open to all sorts of pairings, the biggest "guilty pleasure" being the one depicted above
 
I have tons of them. There's a lot of obscure video games I get into that nobody else has ever played, and then I want to do a story around them.

Some examples:
- The best game in the Fire Emblem series was Seisen no Keifu, and nobody I talk to has ever played it (though I managed to convince one person to try it)
- Battle for Wesnoth had me shipping stock characters together and wanting to write stories in that world
- One time I tried to start a group RP based around a tower defence game called Gemcraft, though it was less about tower defence and more about surviving an apocalypse
- I'll play a random browser game, like this one called Cold Station, about shooting alien bugs in a research facility, and then want to do a story in that scenario (which I then altered to make it a Metroid fandom)
- Or I'll play an otome visual novel on itch.io like Ebon Light and then want to recreate that dark and gloomy world in a fanfic
- Or even some stupid porn game, like there was one RP I did which was inspired by a combination of a brothel sim game (brothels.im) and a slave management game (Fort of Chains), each of which was kind of boring but they gave me a bit of structure to start from
- Years ago I did a group RP based on Warcraft, but I specifically set it in the era of the first game, Orcs & Humans, because of the rough and bleak aesthetic it had (with midi music and everything), back when Blizzard was just copying everything from Games Workshop
 
I mean, in terms of single fandom roleplays? Sure, mine do take a while to find a partner for -- Black Clover and Rise of the Guardians --, but it's even harder for me to find someone willing to play out a CC x CC crossover rp. For instance, Rise of the Guardians x Frozen or Tangled, and when there are people who do want to do crossovers between the two verses, they usually offer up the kind of pairings I'm downright uncomfortable with.

I have so many ideas for both the crossovers and the single-verse roleplays (both AU's and in-universe ideas), but rarely get a chance to explore any of them. Takes months, if not years to find someone. And yeah, I do actually reach out to people, especially if there are pairings I can do for them, in hopes they can do mine in turn. Lately, I do have one semi-active Black Clover roleplay, but that's after 3-4 years of searching. (Well, ~1 year, if we're talking the last time I've had someone respond to a BC roleplay, but that one died despite all of the times I've tried to revive it and was already dying for about a year before that.)

The Rise of the Guardians crossover roleplays have never really taken off. 6+ years searching across over a dozen sites... and the two roleplays where CC x CC was possible died shortly after taking off.
 
What fandom world would you love to Rp but aren't sure if others feel the same or you wouldn't get much attention for?

Mine is heavily dabbling in the Banban universe with major modifications to the story and characters
I'm so sorry
No super specific fandom… but as a submissive "omega" boi I'm a sucker for mm omegaverse/mpreg. Anything where a strong Alpha Male claims me and makes me his…

Let's try to keep the main thread as uncluttered with non-topic discussion as possible: the topic being fandoms.

Check out the Request Thread section, you could create a post with what you are seeking for a story there~

Thanks muches!



Since I'm here...

Anything involving Soren from Dragon Prince is my new guilty pleasure fandom~
