i never got around to making a post about the end of 2018, so here goes nothing.
this year presented me with a lot of challenges and difficult moments, but it also provided me with so many beautiful memories and people that i wouldn’t want to trade for anything. as i write this i’m cringing a little bit, because it sounds so corny, but i really am grateful for this fandom, despite all of the unnecessary discourse and general ridiculousness. there is no arguing that if i hadn’t fallen in love with this show and its characters, i would not be the person i am today. i would not have realized that being bi wasn’t something i was making up or something i needed to fix. i would not have gotten back into writing and realized that it was the path i wanted to take. i would not have met @battlemalecs and turned into an actual fic trope (which would’ve been tragic don’t @ me).
i’m not going to make a list of @’s because honestly, every single person who has been kind to me this year, every unbelievably lovely anon, every person who has gone through my blog and liked 50 posts in a row, everyone who has followed me and stuck around despite my bs, everyone who has messaged me, left nice comments on my fics, etc. i love and appreciate all of you so much. you made 20gayteen all the more enjoyable.
thank you. 💜
