Dear anyone who can be bothered to read,
I just want to start this off by saying that I only got into ABOP in about this time last year. This small but incredibly cozy tag has kept me afloat for the past year and for that i’m extremely thankful. Due to the lack of content put on both the tag and the kiddos youtube, everything is very slowly dying. This year has taught me a lot about what it’s like to feel disappointment and learning to let go - through that I have become possibly the best version of myself i’ve ever been.
I’ve met so many amazing people through the tags and the group chat and I’m so happy that our paths collided. Although I haven’t stayed in contact with the majority of them, I want to let them know that I think of them all the time.
I believe this post in particular has been a long time coming.
No, i’m not deleting my account or leaving or killing myself (much to peoples shock). I’m simply making the future of this blog uncertain - much like Alex has done with the pwnagemcgee channel.
One thing I want you all to remember is that the boys are all growing up. I doubt the channel will even make it to 100 podcasts. I’m so proud of them all.
After spending time on fan fics, making really dumb edits and text posts, skipping classes for livestreams and even being lucky enough to send the boys a package, i’ve been able to meet so many of you. You’re all so incredible and funny.
Next year I’ll be in my last year of high school and with the amount of pressure on me to succeed, i’m probably, for the most part, going to be absent a lot. Year 12 is really important to me as it is for a lot of people and I hope you all understand.
i’ll probably be active occasionally when I have a free second but considering this year and how busy I was, I doubt it’ll get any easier.
I’d like to personally thank:
@axelsbasketopanic / @thatnastycat for providing me my URL, I appreciate it.
@platinumfandomtrash for being my output for the feels (i’m sorry we don’t speak anymore like we used to)
@alex-is-poop for being so accommodating when i started out and for memeing with me. I love you very much.
@rogueloki for being the Dopest™️
@ultravariety for actually talking to me and being lovely company.
@nearlyminyoongi for being my wife, spending hours planning and talking to me. I’m so proud of you and I love you a heap.
@trashyabop for being my Australian pal ;)
@macabreadventures for literally being the sun in my sky. I love you and you know that.
and finally i’d like to thank Alex, Alex2, Robin, Luke, Connor, Matty, Nick, Rory, Calvin and the other various people who have been on podcasts. Without you guys making a stupid goddamn youtube channel, i’d probably be a different person.
(There are other people too that i didn’t tag for convenience, i love you all the same.)
i’m sorry for the messy letter and i’m sorry if it makes no sense.
You all gave me a home. Thank you.
I’d also like to apologise to Michelle because she thinks i’m asleep right now but I got this urge to make this post.
EDIT: also shout out to @polyabop go follow them. They have a great blog.
