An antidote for whatever fandom wank will inevitably happen over the next week (because every week in this fandom has an element of wank)
I’ve never quite gotten out of the lurker mindset and just being so surprised that people like me? And that I have mutuals who I’ve admired for fucking ever, back when I didn’t even like peoples posts because I thought it would annoy them
So, from an eternal lurker at heart, my full unfiltered opinions of how amazing you are, both mutuals and non mutuals (except I once again WILL forget because I am disabled)
@harringroveera I’d really just like to give you a personal thank you because I was following your main blog while I was still being abused and reading your posts made me smile during a really dark time and knowing that you’re such a such a lovely person just makes it even better.
@80svhstapes I really just admire your sheer perseverance with all the shit you get from antis and you’re just such an amazing presence in this fandom, I’m so happy every time I see a post of yours come across my dash or a dm in my messages.
@memes-saved-me being in this fandom can get really fucking fatiguing given the sheer volume of antis we get so the light hearted ness of your memes as well as having serious posts that make a lot of people feel seen really means a lot
@mrsblackruby I’m A) happy to have someone in this fandom with the same politics as me and B) happy that you’re spreading truly educational posts about Billy using both fandom lore and theory.
@ashyyboyy I’m SO glad I’m finally seeing your posts again after months of just having your account act up for me because you’re such a nice person and it’s really comforting to have other Billy fans who are trans men.
@local-redhead-bookworm I’ve just loved all of the conversations we’ve had about abuse and autistic Steve and just seeing your perspective which is always so refreshing and well informed is a breath of fresh air in this fandom.
@eddiebillysteve I just love your writing so much and from the interactions we’ve had, you’re such a lovely person who it’s a pleasure to talk to.
@harringrovsonsworld I love our chats, you’re such a laugh and your ideas on fandom are always amazingly articulated with just the right amount of snark.
@femmebilly you are amazing and I love you. End of sentence (seriously though you’re just a fucking gift to this fandom you’re so cool)
@werewolfnick you’re so sweet and being able to talk to other people about autistic harringrove means a lot. I always feel so happy when I see you’ve @ ed me in a post.
@carito-dorito I love talking to you so much and getting to be friends with you in this fandom. Best takes. It’s such a joy being mutuals with you.
@stranger-rants I just appreciate the work that you do a lot because I have a lot of frustrations about how antis treat Billy but I don’t have the emotional energy or articulation to cohesively make those posts. The work you do helps so many people in this fandom.
@nogitsunbae I just love what conversations we’ve had and seeing your harringrove fics as well as your fics from other fandoms, you have such a compelling style of writing.
@peachyaliien again I just love being mutuals with you and being able to talk to you on discord and see your amazing art.
@harringrovest I love your writing and your constant positive attitude in this fandom. It’s truly infectious and again very needed
@bogwitchlesbian you’re just so cool, I love talking to you about Billy, Steve and being able to see your thoughts on the show as a whole.
@prettyboybillyhargrove the Dacre posts never fail to put a smile on my face and seeing your passion for advocating for victims makes me feel so consistently comforted.
@hargrove-mayfields what can I say that I haven’t already said to you? You’re my best friend and I love you. Everyone who doesn’t follow EJ should follow her, she’s the sweetest person I know.
@ratbastardbilly I still fanboy thinking about the fact that we’re friends. You already know that I love your art but you’re also just such a lovely person who it’s a pleasure to talk to
@thatgirlwithasquid Squid! You’re so fucking cool. I don’t even have anything else to add apart from never stop being you.
@shieldofiron by far one of my favourite people in this fandom. I love all of our aus together and you 100% deserve all the recognition you’ve gotten.
@thediktatortot I love being able to interact with another working class disabled person and see your thoughts on Billy as a working class disabled person (I will definitely tag you when I properly write that harringroveson with Steve moving into mungrove’s trailer)
@kittyphoenix12-xx you’ve just been such a lovely presence in this fandom and I love seeing all your polls and fics.
@dragonflylady77 Guin I have no idea how you do it but your talent, your attitude and your ability to lift people up in this fandom is just the perfect package. You’re a gem.
@brightside-of-the-upsidedown Harle I love everything you post no exceptions and I can’t wait to take part in your event in October. I’ve loved every interaction I’ve had with you.
@gracegrove you’re such a gentle and supportive presence in this fandom while being so well spoken and the token cishet. I’m really glad we’re mutuals
@half-oz-eddie Your writing is fantastic, your memes are fantastic, your thoughts about Billy are fantastic. I’m so grateful to be friends with you.
@suspiciouslackofclowns reading all your autistic Billy thoughts never fails to put a smile on my face and seeing your ability to portray the disabled experience so skillfully.
@adelacreations I can’t believe I only tagged you in a post a couple of months ago and now you’ve just been such an amazing friend. Lord Billy, knight Stevie, Poison Ivy Steve. You’re truly a credit to this fandom.
@neonponders I’ve scoured your ao3 and loved every single fic I’ve read. It’s just a pleasure to see you pop up on my dash.
@heck-in-a-handbasket your absolutely my favourite fic writer in harringrove and I’ve cried at every single fic. In a good way.
@discodeviant Your. Writing. Is. Amazing.
@thissortofsorcery you’re such a kind and thoughtful person. I love being mutuals with you, I’d love to be friends with you and I’ll always be thankful for you being in this fandom.
@oopsiedaisiesbaby I love all of your fics and both being mutuals with me and reading your sweet and encouraging tags is amazing.
@writer-in-theory just thank you for being so nice to me even though I’m an awkward fuck. I’d love to get to know you better.
@bigdumbbambieyes A) thank you for putting up with me, B) thank you for how truly kind you’ve been and C) thank you for everything you’ve done for this fandom. I truly believe it wouldn’t be the same without you.
@toast-ranger-to-a-stranger Again a personal thank you because your fics gave me the courage to start posting on this account in the first place and seeing how much love you had for Billy, Eddie and Steve. It’s again something I’ll always be grateful for.
I hope this sets people up for dealing with whatever the antis will think up of next and helps at least one person this weekend.
Thank you all for putting up with me
