I always get sad when mutuals deactivate and/or disappear, especially when it feels like it’s out of the blue, because I’m like, are they ok? I hope they’re ok 😔
So, I’m checking in. How are we? How’s life? I hope it’s treating you well. If not … need to vent? Need a keysmash sesh with no explanation or context? Go ham in the comments if you need/want to or reach out if you feel up to it. No judgment here 💕
You know... I sometimes find myself feeling guilty for not being active or supportive enough in this community. Honestly, I've always struggled with putting myself out there, mostly because English isn't my first language and I always have to spend so much time writing something that is not full of mistakes. Yeah... I'm a perfectionist... But, I miss the old days. When the fandom was analyzing new chapters of my favorite books as soon as they were out. I miss the gif era. I miss Rita and Donna. I miss @katurrade. I miss all these Liam-centered blogs that are long gone.
Still, I am so grateful that I met you, Anitah. I once told you that you are the Queen of this fandom because you are. Your talent and kindness are beyond compare. I am so giddy whenever you post something new, you inspire me to listen to music you choose for your works, because of you I started reading more, outside of Choices fandom as well (Dramione and ACOTAR are my favorites). I read more in English, which used to be dreadful for me. I actually try writing in English as well.
This blog of yours is one of my favorite places on the Internet. I wish I could give you a real hug but this one will have to do.
Oh goooosh. I haven’t been tagged in anything on this blog in like 2(?) years. It’s been so long. I can’t believe anyone still even remembers me! ❤️
This made my whole day, but I also agree 100% with what you’ve said. I miss the good old days too, where there was always something going on. Faceclaims, new stories to read, clay days, the rando nights of repost group story telling. I had so many amazing moments with awesome people in this fandom, and I miss all of it. I don’t even have choices downloaded on this newer phone that I’ve had for almost a year now. Which is odd for me, I met so many beautiful people through that app, that at one point were the only people I talked to on a daily basis. A few of those people have gone on to get their own original works published, and I plan to buy all their books when I can just to support them even if we don’t talk much anymore.
Leaving this fandom was such a hard choice to make, but once the royal romance story ended, nothing was really holding me here any longer. I’m still around though, I may not always reply right away but I still check my tumblr every once and a while.
Thanks for making me feel so so special today, I really needed this positive boost! ❤️❤️❤️
