okay so here it goes lmao
I know i haven’t been very active this past year (real life caught up to me ig!!!) but the years I have had on this blog are honestly, without a doubt the best years I’ve had on the internet (and I’ve been on tumblr since 2009!)
I first started watching b99 in dec 2016, it was a pretty shitty time in my life, I was living in another country with no friends and no job and spent my days scrolling through tumblr. I kept seeing gifs of this show and figured why not? It was on netflix, so I binged all three seasons in one weekend and everything went downhill from there lmao! Next thing i knew my blog was filling up with b99 content, so this account was born!Â
No other fandom i have ever been a part of has ever been as welcoming and friendly as the b99 fandom. I know that’s been said a lot, but it’s totally true! I know I suck at talking to people, so I completely apologise to anyone I’ve ever taken forever to reply to, it’s actually something I’ve been working on this past year (social anxiety sucks lol), but I still feel like I really know every single person I have interacted with. It just feels so easy to be a part of this chunk of the internet!Â
The creative outlet I have had from this blog is beyond anything else - before I made this blog I did make gifs, and the occasional edit (peep @starkid-gifs for some OG cringy gifs from 10 years ago lmao) but I’ve completely developed on my technique and style and somehow made things I would have no idea how to do otherwise! (This one springs to mind, still one of my faves!). To have so much interaction from everyone (and somehow even the cast at certain points?!) is still crazy to me! I’ve also written and shared fanfic??! Not much, but I literally would never have felt comfortable sharing anything like that at all in any other fandom I have been in. Honestly still can’t believe I actually did it!Â
I remember back when b99 was cancelled for that brief period of time and how devastated I was, but I also remember how everyone rallied together in an effort to save the show, it was completely incredible to be a part something with so many passionate people, and despite never actually having met any of you it really feels like I have!Â
Thank you to everyone who’s ever interacted with any of my gifs and posts, if just one person out there started watching the show because of a gifset I made it would make my world (and be a full circle as that’s why I started watching!)
Anyway, b99 will always have a place in my heart (a very, very big place), as well as everyone who has shared my love of it over the years. Thank you all for being a part of my life! Love you all!!! 💖💖💖💖💖
(p.s hopefully I’ll still make some more gifs, I still have series to complete (hello peraltiago alphabet, oops) and I’ve been creatively starved recently so giffing seems very appealing right now!)
