to say the vibes have been off lately would be an understatement, wouldn’t it? because there has been a lot of negativity, too much for a place that is supposed to be about finding an outlet for your creativity and people to share your interests.
i know it has been difficult, draining to be around here and face all the discourse cankering the fandom.
because of all this negativity, i believe it is important to try and balance it out with some kindness. so here i am, doing a little check-up on you <3
so first, how are you, really?
everything you feel regarding what is happening is valid and you deserve to feel happy and safe around here. so please, make sure you take the time you need from posting, from sharing fics, even just from being on the platform. i want you to know it’s okay and i support whatever you decide, for whatever reason.
i also want you to know that you have your place here, as much as the rest of us. you’re loved and wanted and i can assure you the fandom is a far better place with you in it.
i hope you’re taking care of yourself outside of tumblr as well. please remember to stay hydrated and to eat something 🫶🏼
now i would like you to sit back and enjoy the perfect, quiet night in with joel <3
do not hesitate to reach out if you need to talk, i’m here for you! sending you all my love and so many hugs 🫂
Oh my goodness! I'm a blubbering mess over here, Anna!😭💜 and now I hope you are prepared for my rambling mess of a response.
The negativity and seeing how it's negatively affecting the Fandom as a whole is so disheartening, and it hurts my heart. I feel a pang of sadness seeing the outcome of others' actions. We are a bunch of silly people coming together for a silly guy and his characters. So, to see the tidal wave of hurt and unkindess being spewed around is quite upsetting. It's hard to comprehend how there are real people who can hurt real people on such a personal, vulnerable level.
Honestly, though? I really needed this. I seriously can't fathom how you popped in my ask box at the exact right time. Aside from real life stuff, I have been feeling like I don't know how well I fit in, how hard it is to reach out and make friends, but then again, I'm sure most of us feel the same. So this was absolutely the pull I needed to stay. Thank you!
I hope you are taking care of yourself and staying hydrated and fed as well!
Ahhh, not the moodboard, not the most perfect night in with Joel. Those forehead kisses = heaven on earth
Thank you forever for being you and bringing such kindness and light to a community and a fandom that needs more beautiful humans like you. 🫂💜
