I ship Auggie/ Scott and wrote a fanfic of them because there wasn’t any when I checked ao3. My ao3 account is @/Runin_reads if anyone is interested

I am actually the worst at checking this blog's inbox 😅 Sorry for the 2.5 year-late response!

I love Higher Ground, and as a teen in 2025, almost 2026, it feels surreal to be on a blog that was created in 2015 by another teen. It feels like I'm from the future, because the people who made this blog are literally from 10 years ago. I'm so happy I found it, though, because I love Higher Ground.

Hi! I'm glad to hear people are still discovering Higher Ground, and this blog. It's hard to believe I found the show at 15; I'm about to turn 30 so that was half a lifetime ago for me. If you need it, I hope that HG can provide as much representation and comfort for you as it did for me.

Higher Ground first aired 25 years ago today, on January 14 2000!

hi this is not an ask but I just wanted to say thank you so much for still keeping this blog and not deleting it, I've seen so many other hg blogs getting deleted over the yrs and not existing anymore and ik ppl move on but sometimes it feels sad like people might be forgetting about this show and eventually no one'll talk about it. haha now I've just made myself sad thinking about this show "disappearing" as more ppl forget it. I followed you long back and just saw a post last week and its so nice that you still check in on here once in a while lol tho I was wondering - in some of your older posts you mention a "we" when it comes to this blog (les not talk abt the fact that I spent an entire night scrolling to the very first post) so if you're comfortable sharing, who's this 'we'?

and if its not too selfish to ask, could you keep this blog forever lol?

(sry for the long post that isn't even a confession but hey! you've kept this blog for 11 years now, congrats!!)

Hey! Of course - I’m glad people still enjoy the show and this blog. In its heyday (2013-2015ish?), it was very active and the fandom was fairly large. I think this page had around 500 followers at its peak, which is crazy given how old the show already was when I started it. I was probably 15 when I found Higher Ground and 17 when I made this blog; its seen me through high school, college, and my 20s, now as a nearly-29 year old (!!!!!??). But to your point - I agree, it can be disappointing to compare Tumblr as it is now to what it once was. Maybe I’m wearing rose-colored glasses when I say this, but I truly had so much fun on this website and with my online friends so many years ago, especially in the HG fandom.

For your question about “we” - I presume I may have been referring to the collective “we” of the fandom or blog followers? It’s only ever been me who has run this page. Ha, sorry for the confusion!

I have no plans to delete this blog, especially because it is a side-blog to my main account (speakyellow) which I still use fairly regularly. Feel free to follow/message me over there! Thanks for all of your support over the years, as well as anyone else still silently following along :)

I ship Daisy with Shelby and Scott with Auggie lol. I just love antagonistic gay pairings

Oops, I received this message in July 2023 and haven't seen it until now. Sorry! But love that for you.

Hello, welcome to my once-a-year post.

If you have not seen Mike Flanagan’s The Midnight Club, I recommend you put it on your To Watch list asap. Teens/young adults with terminal illnesses living in hospice together. It’s a horror/mystery series but it’s got vague Higher Ground-struggling young people brought together-found family vibes. It’s sure to make you laugh and cry.

See ya’ll next year.

Nac: who’s your favorite character from higher ground?

Hi! Juliette is my favorite character!

[highergroundconfessions]

[highergroundconfessions]

What if we got a Higher Ground reunion…haha jk……..unless ?

[highergroundconfessions]

the vine parallels.....uncanny

[highergroundconfessions]

NAC: I'm watching episode 9 and get to the end when they're playing soccer. It shows Scott wiping Shelby's face using his middle finger, then the scene cuts to Juliette. I wonder if it was intentional like he knew she'd be watching them or not? It's kind of funny though, but like damn, Scott... so mean.

Lol I have no idea, but that would be funny if its intentional!

For the person who asked for Horizon mood boards, here you go! Let me know if you’re looking for anything in particular.

[highergroundconfessions]

NAC ah thank you for promoting my YouTube channel! Someone said you posted a link and I haven’t been on tumbler in like a year but thanks! I’m uploading a HG video later today so I hope you enjoy!

Happy to share! If you have any specific videos you want to share, let me know!
