Sometimes, when I draw my favorite characters in different situations, without context and whatever my imagination allows, I forget that... They are dead. They died when they were only teenagers who had not mastered life. Even if they were alive, they would never exist. But they are actually alive, and do you know why? Because you make them alive. Your fan fiction, fantasies, art, and other art make them live the same way. This is how it works and has always worked with everything in this world - as long as we remember them, they will live. So, let's continue to love our favorite and best fandom! That fandom that introduced you to wonderful people, shaped your personality and, perhaps, saved someone's life at one time.
Take care of your loved ones and your memories. Your favorite characters will always be like family to you.
... Uhm... Yay, gay people-!
