I feel like a lot of tumblrs make light of their attachment to “The Character” or a fandom. But really, art was meant to be felt deeply and to change those who participate in it. It’s okay to love a piece of media so much that others won’t understand why. It’s okay because art can change you, and that’s deeply personal and formative. Of course you want to hold onto it. It’s a part of you.
