Every lovely freak, each weirdo, all of you nerds for adopting me. I am currently drifting away from the space I used to call home - metal scene. I still have friends there but my bonds to that particular part of culture is waning. It won't cease to exist because I still attend shows and do intend to go for a festival every once in a while but it's not as intense as it used to be. I grieved that part of my life for a long time, and being the social creature that I am I needed to *belong*. I kicked in here and made some friends, people understand my jokes and keep making eye candy that belongs in a museum or write fics that should be printed and available in every library to exist. I embraced the nerdy part of myself that was always there, just leashed and suppressed. Now I can be weird at the cons, weird here, weird everyfuckingwhere and not apologise every five seconds because I do not intend to change for anyone's comfort.
Uff, there we go. Special thanks to @fantalpacca for many, many discussions about Dragon Age (and patiently explaining stuff I don't yet understand), @preciouslittlebhaalbae bc Indelible Imprints bring ppl together, @zombiefishgirl for Mara and hurting ourselves with angst, @flowersforthemachines for blessing my dash with useless facts, you are all loved. If I forgot anyone pls don't kill me, my brain is a mush ;-;
