Fans of any series, please take a little of your time to read this

Years ago, when I was barely a teen but I thought I was “too mature for that”, I told my mom I liked a series (it was Digimon Tamers), and I was obsessed with a character in particular (it was Impmon).

I felt ashamed because I thought it was “too childish for someone my age” (turned out, Tamers was anything but childish, but that’s another story).

I was then that her and I had one of the most heartfelt conversations in my life so far:

My mom: “Do you enjoy the series/character? Do they make you happy?”

Me: “Well, yes.”

Mom: “Does liking them hurt/harm you in any way?”

Me: “No, what a question!”

Mom: “Does you liking them hurt/harm anyone else?”

Me: “I really don’t think so.”

Mom: “Then why should you feel ashamed? As long as you enjoy something that makes you happy and it doesn’t hurt/harm anyone -yourself included-, then you should just ignore everything else and enjoy what you like”

You know what she did next? She sat right next to me everyday to watch the series with me… and she adored it! The series and the very character I loved! Still to this day, Impmon remains one of her favorite characters.

Now I’m about to turn 27, I have my own life, I’m obsessed with lots of new series, and my mom still sticks true to what she said years ago.

So fans -of ANY AGE, of ANY SERIES-, if you ever feel ashamed for liking something, remember my mom’s words.

ENJOY WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY, AND SCREW THE REST OF THE WORLD (as long as you’re not doing anything harmful to it)

I’m tagging all the series I like (along with some of the characters I adore), feel free to add your own if you decide to reblog this post (and I’d be very happy if you did so) :)

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

It’s no secret that I’m in my late 30′s (38, as I type this), and honestly it’s only been since just before the series started that I decided to not try to hide how much I love Tangled from my family, and to stand up to them if they decided to tease me about it.

On an almost monthly basis, I try to convince my dad that animation is legitimate storytelling and that there’s no shame in an animated movie making him cry. Age has no relevance to your interests, and you are never “too old” to enjoy “childish” things. Society’s obsession with making people grow up and leave behind the simple things that bring them joy is just ridiculous.

Animation is art. It takes time and effort and it lives and breathes with us. Hundreds of people work to make this thing we enjoy so much; artists and writers and sound mixers, the list goes on and on.

So, love your harmless thing you love. Hold it to your heart and don’t be ashamed. If the people in your life are cruel to you for your love, you can always find like-minded people here, people to lean on and lend you our strength until you can stand on your own.

Countdown to RED (Taylor’s version) release day

RED’s 9th anniversary

“There’s an old poem by Neruda that I’ve always been captivated by, and one of the lines in it has stuck with me ever since the first time I read it. It says “love is so short, forgetting is so long.” It’s a line I’ve related to in my saddest moments, when I needed to know someone else had felt that exact same way. And when we’re trying to move on the moments we always go back to aren’t the mundane ones. They are the moments you saw sparks that weren’t really there, felt stars aligning without having any proof, saw your future before it happened, and then saw it slip away without any warning. These are moments of newfound hope, extreme joy, intense passion, wishful thinking, and in some cases, the unthinkable letdown. And in my mind, every one of these memories looks the same to me. I see all of these moments in bright, burning red.”
