Hi, Iām not going anywhere with my blog, but uh, itās been almost a decade since I started. I signed up for this site during my freshman college year, about a yearās time after I came out for the first time in high school. Iām pretty sure I started it because fellow college gayby classmate @sporkthepanda and others were doing it.Ā
Like for so many users, this has been a place to feel less alone. To gleefully discover that your niche of specific interests spread to others around the country and the world. To find that, yes, others are equally obsessed with NBC comedies, Sondheim, young adult novels, and ABC dramedies. Marin Mazzie bootlegs, Klaine kisses (LMAO), Tony night blogging, short-lived Bryan Fuller and Amy Sherman-Palladino shows. To realize that itās okay to give so much energy to what makes you happy, be it a TV show or movie, no matter the target audience or genre.
AND after feeling shame for most of my life before I was 18, to find that there is a space where your queerness and your attraction to certain bodies can be celebrated was such a gift. To celebrate your numerous boy crushes, to claim that attraction to various skin colors and body types is valid as hell, to learn the sex stuff you werenāt going to learn anywhere else!Ā
Iāve also learned a lot about film being on this site, following users with a wide scope of knowledge, or just as eager as me.Ā
Anyways, Iāve graduated college since I started and Iāve been on long enough to watch others make college acceptance posts and post their graduation pictures. My mental health has gotten increasingly worse, but Iām still here. On this beloved hellsite.Ā
Shoutout to @mrlovett, my first follower I wasnāt acquainted with in real life. Also: @nannibaxter, @this-plum-pudding, @margaretolson, @tyronepowerbottom, @howglorygoes, @aliveandfullofjoy, @if-only-angels-could-prevail, @captezridax, @emospacewizard, @wekeeponmaking, @midnightinjapan, @rxmsvy, @currry, @god-thats-good, @coralina, @aforeignheart
Itās been nice to become acquainted with (to varying degrees that my shyness allows) some of my followers over the years. I havenāt communicated as much as I would like, but thanks for following all these years. Another shoutout to the porn bots making my 600+ follower count seem bigger than what it probably is.Ā
