Dear Byler Community,
I wanted to come on here for a second and express my immense gratitude. I really involved myself in this fandom in 2022 when I was going through a really difficult time in my life and the moments I was able to spend in this fandom have meant so much to me. Being able to analyze scenes and theorize with all of you gave me this sense of excitement I hadn't felt for a long time before that point. For anyone who has ever read one of my analysis posts, sent me an ask, gushed about theories, scenes, and characters with me, watched me crash out on sangrias waiting for scriptgate releases, listened to my crossfade stranger things playlist, participated in sleepover Saturday, became a follower or mutual, or been a friend to me, past or present, I am so grateful to share this space with you. Even if we haven't spoken in years, know that this fandom, your impact on me, has been a greatly transformational experience for me. It gave me a safe space while the rest of my life felt like it was falling apart. Thank you for sharing and making meaning through these characters with me.
Cheers to you all. We've made it, and I couldn't ask for better company to experience this history with 🥂
With much love,
Jess
