*hesitantly peeks my head up*

I’ve been a traitorous, traitorous fangirl, hanging out over on Twitter for more than 3 years. Since that site is now crashing and burning, I’m wondering how the world has changed here while I’ve been gone & if I would be drawn and quartered if I return. 😅

I’m mostly involved only in BTS fandom and Korean language learning, these days. When I migrated to Twitter, it was because I couldn’t find many ARMYs here on Tumblr ... but maybe once the Muskrat has killed Twitter some ARMYs may gather here as an alternative to [wince] Instagram and TikTok? Or maybe there’s already a community of Tumblr ARMYs? And Korean language learners? I’m not sure if there’s a community for me here. If any of my old friends see this and happen to know, help a gal out?

Whaaaaat? How did all my notifications get turned off somewhere along the way?????

If anyone has commented on anything or tagged me or liked anything ... I’m sorry if it seemed like I was ignoring you. I haven’t been around much, but I didn’t realize I wasn’t getting notifs!

Memories of the TATINOF era

I heard Taylor Swift’s “Long Live” just now & the lyrics have always made me think of The Amazing Tour Is Not On Fire, so I’m feeling sentimental for that era. The eclipse t-shirt! The fox jumper! “Without the Internet we never would have met”! Phil calling Dan onstage at the BONCAs! 😭😭😭

I love everything they’ve done since, of course, and I’m incredibly proud of the work Dan is doing now, but that era still holds a special place in my heart, maybe because it was so early in my phan life.

Now excuse me while I go off and get lost in a lot of old videos of two boys with ironed fringe.

Hubs and I were playing Jeopardy yesterday and one of the answers was Mario Kart. I answered immediately and confidently. Hubs was shocked and looked at me, since I don’t play video games. “How do you know about Mario Kart?” he asked me.

Well, now, that’s sort of a long story.

Except it’s not.

“Dan and Phil.”

I imagine this post sees a significant surge in attention every time something New And Horrible happens, but I’d wager a bet that Covid-19 has caused the biggest surge yet.

Hey! All my old buds coming out of the woodwork! I haven’t been able to make it into the shower yet this morning, because I logged on for a mo & ended up liking some posts & it snowballed.😂 I mean, I know what’s going on with you to some extent, since see you on fb a lot, but you guys are making me want to log on here more often again ... it’s just that when I come on here I keep endlessly, obsessively scrolling and scrolling and liking things and liking things and it’s hard to make myself stop. Stop, Kimberly! Stop! Go take a frickin’ shower!😂

Hey Kimberly! I know you’re just popping in but it was really nice to see your URL! I hope things are going well for you!

Hi!!! It’s nice to hear from you! I was just thinking about you the other day, because I was FaceTiming with @sweetcharite & it reminded me of when we all met at II in Seattle. As for me, I’m hanging in there. I’ve mostly been hanging around the BTS fandom lately, but I still follow DnP ... just more quietly.💜I hope you’re doing well, too!

Oh!

Yikes! I just reread my most recent posts, and people probably don’t really follow this account anymore, but I wanted to say that, much to all my doctors’ shock, the large tumor I had removed in December turned out not to be cancer. So ... no cancer! Yay! Lots of other health stuff going on, because my body just doesn’t work right, but not cancer!

My lady, it's so good to see you around 😘

😂I guess you saw me liking some of your posts this morning. 😂I apparently was not sneaky. 😂

I got a notification that someone had sent me a couple messages here, so I logged on to answer them ... and then I saw all these cute dnp posts and had to like them. And I saw other neat stuff & had to like some of that, too. And then I noticed that almost everything I was liking had been posted/reblogged by you. 💜

I can’t fall down the Tumblr rabbit hole again right now (I used to spend hours every day here!), but it’s so nice to see dnp stuff when I’ve only been following them on Twitter (and Phil’s videos, of course). I loved Phil’s video about rescuing Steve the Pigeon so much that I was recommending it to all my irl friends!

I’m excited to see what Dan puts out, if he ever gets his new project into a state he can tolerate with his perfectionistic tendencies. I’m guessing that he’s trying something new and so is struggling with doubting himself, if his descriptions of his past are any indication. I’m actually hoping it’s a book, because I’ve always considered him very talented in his use of imagery, metaphor, simile, and language in general. I think the very first YouTube comment I ever left on one of his videos was me saying that I hoped he’d come out with a book of essays someday.

I still support these boys with all my heart, even if I’m not active in the phandom anymore.

I just wrote a personal text here and then deleted it, because this isn’t a place for personal stuff. It’s just the only truly anonymous place I have on the Internet, the only place my husband won’t see. Maybe I could create a Twitter account he doesn’t know about.

Hi Dan and Phil folks. Sorry I haven’t been posting, haven’t been writing fic, all that stuff. Life has been hard. I hope you’re doing okay.

Things have been crazy. I’m sorry I haven’t been around. The truth is that I probably won’t be much involved in this fandom anymore. I still love Dan and Phil, which in a weird way is sort of why I won’t be around. In this fandom, I felt really inspired to read and write fic, to check my Tumblr feed every day, to follow DnP’s every movement on social media, etc. I’ve been deeply moved and personally touched by many of the things they’ve said and done. I flew hundreds of miles away to see Interactive Introverts. I made some really great friends and wrote more enthusiastically and more prolifically than I’ve ever written at any other time in my life.

But the fact is that I don’t have room in my life anymore for such an intense online distraction. I’ve been diagnosed with aggressively invasive intestinal cancer, and that’s been taking up basically all of my emotional energy. I’ve already had one minor surgery that turned up very bad results, and therefore I’m having major surgery in a couple weeks to remove a large amount of my intestinal tract. We don’t know yet whether I will need chemotherapy and/or radiation, but we do know that losing this particularly large portion of my internal organs will have a permanent effect on my life.

I’ve been an emotional mess, and the only room I’ve had in my life for fandom is the relatively superficial stuff that doesn’t inspire me to feel obsessively invested. My interest in Dan and Phil, in a weird way, is too intense for me to maintain now. I just don’t have the energy for it. I miss the phandom sometimes, but I just have to focus on me. I hope people continue to read the fic I wrote during happier times, but I have to move on to a more complicated, less fun focus.

Hi! I just want to send love your way for all of your stories. You’re a fantastic writer! I’m loving A Wonderful Life. It’s such a unique idea, so I just wanted to pass on the love! 💜

Hi there. I’m sorry I haven’t finished A Wonderful Life. To be absolutely honest, I’m not sure I will. I have very scary health stuff going on, and fanfic is kind of the last thing I’m thinking about right now. But I didn’t want to just ignore the Ask, because that would be rude & you wrote such a sweet comment that I didn’t want to just ignore you. I’m glad you enjoy what I’ve written. I really wish I could be writing more right now.
