So, technically, I know Thanksgiving is an American holiday… history… yadda yadda. However, this is not Thanksgiving.
This is Mootsgiving, and what I say goes ‘cause this is my holiday. Anyway! Mootsgiving is all the basic ideas of Thankgiving but better because I’m great like that.
I just wanted to show everyone how grateful I am, since gratefulness is a key principle of Thanksgiving.
I want all my moots from different countries to be able to have the picture-perfect movie-esque Thanksgiving of being surrounded by friends and family with all the care and love and gratefulness that can be poured into a single human. And, as the ever-dramatic Runar, what better way to do that than to organize a huge event?
So! Rules!
State what food you brought
State one thing you’re thankful for
My name is Runar, I brought the eggnog, and I’m grateful for each and every one of you 💗🫶
Really sappy and really long paragraph/speech under the cut!!
Soooo… to start off my big long speech… *clinks my fancy wine glass that’s filled with a mysterious substance* (It’s eggnog)
When I first started this blog, it was off a whim. I wanted to do something, something that involved putting my work out there, as I was just starting out. I wanted to mean something. In any sort of way, I wanted to leave a sort of mark. Not just any mark, though, no. I wanted to add a bit of joy, a spark of life that comes from creativity, and adding words and love into the space we occupy on this floating rock in space.
I wanted to write because it made me happy, and I wanted there to be a possibility of someone who was who got joy from reading to maybe stumble upon it, and get joy from me. Get joy from something I was able to provide for them.
I was also incredibly lonely. I had no friends, I had nothing, pretty much. I didn’t talk much. I was reclusive. I was okay, but I was empty. I didn’t have a purpose. And while I wasn’t expecting much, nothing at all really, I was overjoyed at the prospect that maybe just one person would stumble upon something I wrote and for a moment of their day, maybe they got peace from it.
Maybe they felt a little less lonely. I would have been at peace with just knowing the possibility of it was out there. And then… it did. And I got more than I bargained for, even, I got a friend. My first friend.
From there, everything… clicked. Slowly, but ever so surely, things were falling into place. I was gaining something that had not even crossed my mind. A family.
So, my silly dream born from a whim became friends, connections, and family, it became life-altering. It had ups, it had downs, it had in-betweens. It was beautiful and messy and happy and sad and fucked up and so wonderfully… human?
Yeah, this is online, this is a silly mootsgiving idea I thought up three hours ago because I wanted people to know I love them.
But to someone who had nothing, this is everything. You are everything.
Even if we’ve only talked one time, you have a special place in my heart. The character growth has been… one hell of a ride. I’ve gone through many eras, and made new friends in each and every one of them. So, with the end of the year closing soon, I suppose in a way this is not just a silly mootsgiving.
My bigger end goal, really, was to make sure as we get to the end of this ear, you know how genuinely important this whole year has been to me. How important you have been. I got an anon ask,
What does it feel like to be wanted?
It was beautiful poetry. I replied, said I wouldn’t know what it feels like to be wanted. But really? I think maybe I do. I think it feels like having enough people that you love to organize and invite everyone to a huge event online, to write out this heartfelt paragraph and trust that at least one person will care enough to read it.
My beginning goal has changed so much, and not at all. My biggest purpose in life has been, and I think will always be, to add something into this world.
Creativity, joy, happiness, compassion, I want to ensure that no matter what, as long as you know me, you know you have one person on this earth who loves and cares about you with as much feeling that can physically be felt by one person without exploding into a bunch of tiny little runar pieces.
But moreso, I think maybe my goal has changed from wanting to put stories out there, to putting myself out there. I don’t want to write stories that are just fiction, just crafted ideas meshed together to create a blob of fiction.
I want to write pieces of myself into everything, which i think might genuinely be impossible to not do. I want my heart to pour out of my fingers into the things i type out for you, and i want to not only feel things, but to maybe make you feel something too. Something warm and fuzzy, something good, as good as you deserve.
Yay thank you for inviting me! I'm also grateful for you <333
I'm Ash, I brought pasta (plain pasta, only they're a normal amount of salty. It's my safe food lol). And I'm really, really grateful for the opportunity to go to a mental health specialist, actually getting some help, and my mental health starting to shift for the better.
hello!! i'm raven and i brought cheesecake! and i'm so grateful for everything that has gotten me through this hard year, from my friends (irl and online) to my hyperfixations to a couple of music artists (more specifically, conan gray). i'm so thankful that i discovered all of you, i really really am, i genuinely couldn't have made it through this year without you guys. even if we've only talked once or twice or a hundred times, i hold you all so dearly in my heart. i love you guys <3
i'm so sorry if i forgot anyone, i'm falling asleep on my feet but i just wanted to finish writing this haha
(first of all holy shit op that speech was so sweet and stuff I actually almost cried)
Thanks for the tag!
Hey guys I’m Emma, I brought sausage and peppers (it’s an Italian thing I promise this is a normal thanksgiving food)
I’m grateful my friends (both irl and online here), who are really more like a family if I’m being honest. To me, the title “friend” just doesn’t truly capture the bonds that I’m so lucky to have made with the people I’ve met and surrounded myself with. We’ve all gone thru so much shit in our own separate lives and yet not only are we all still here surviving, but we are truly and genuinely living. And part of that, I think, is bc we’ve managed to create this sort of little community on here meant to lift each other up and be the support system that not everyone has out in The Wild. It doesn’t matter that we don’t know the full story, bc all we see is that another person just needs someone else to Be There, and that’s more than enough for us to step in and support whoever it is that’s struggling.
I think I’ve only posted vents abt my personal shitshow maybe once or twice, but there was still at least three different blogs that reached out to me on that post, making sure I was ok. And I know I’ve gone out of my way to do that too. And I know it makes a difference. Bc I’ll make a vent post thinking that it’ll just go out into The Void and that no one will see it, but then when I get a reblog or comment checking in, I realize how nice it feels to know that there are other people out there and that they care. Not only do these strangers on the internet see and hear me, but they genuinely give two shits about me yk? And so anytime I see a vent post, regardless if that post is from a moot or not, I make sure to respond bc I know how much it means to know that somebody out there cares.
And I’m also lucky that I’ve surrounded myself with legitimately kind and thoughtful people irl too. That I have those physical pillars of support to rely on as well. And I really do hope that you guys also either currently have or are creating similar communities in your own worlds too. Bc I know shit sucks and it feels like everybody’s out to get you, but I promise that those lifelong friends are right there and that you just have to go looking for them. I mean if there’s so many of us online, then there has to be at least one irl. It’s scary and you’re gonna want to shit yourself, but taking that first little step of saying hi or introducing yourself really does make a difference. Hell, half the friends I make both irl and here are just bc I started out the convo by making a sarcastic joke. Seriously tho, it’s going to be ok and it’s most definitely worth it.
So yea. Sorry for the long rant and all lol. Cheers to the past, to the present, and to the future. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, I wish you guys nothing but the best, and you deserve every good thing coming your way. Happy Mootsgiving. Love you guys🩷
(Tags under the cut, I did my best to remember everyone lol)

And I'm grateful for all the people I've met in the few months I've been on Tumblr, and all the things I've experienced because of them despite not knowing any of you in real life. Even the bad ones like the anonymous death threats! Who knows how big my already inflated ego would be without a little backlash???
I'm grateful for the friends I've made, the enemies, and the people that just barely tolerate me. All of you contributed to how I am now.
