To the show, not to the fandom, I’m not going anywhere for a long while after the finale, even if activity is doomed to decrease over time.
I don’t want to get cheesy so I’ll keep it short, but I felt like I had to “celebrate” the end of the series, even just with this crummy post. Being such an active part of a fandom has been a completely new experience, and it allowed me to (digitally) meet a lot of people I’d never have interacted with otherwise, chatting with some of them on a daily basis (shout outs to @skleero and @ngame989 who acted both as emotional sponges and as brethren in misfortune during the series). Thanks to all the Followers and fans who read and reblogged and commented my posts, and less thanks to all the Anons who sent me thousands of Asks giving me a reason to keep being invested in running the blog. An exhausting activity at times, but always a satisfying one.
And special thanks to @daronnefcy and her crew obviously, for having created a product that convinced someone who had never been nearly this emotionally invested in a work of fiction to run a specialized blog for nearly four years. Star and Marco, and their relationship, resonated with me vastly more than any other characters in any media I’ve ever consumed; the series is much more than its characters obviously, from the artistic style and designs that I personally love to its plot to its social themes, but I feel like the characters, and especially its two protagonists, are what truly made the show this unique to me.
So thank you, Star Vs The Forces of Evil, for having given me an unexpected hobby that kept me deeply passionate for years. An experience that I’ll treasure for years well beyond the limits of the series itself.
