After 2-3 years...
People who are on twitter probably know why I'm here again on tumblr (*coughs* capitalism *coughs*) but I decided to leave some last words on this blog because the last ask was not the note I wanted to leave this thing on
Hello again to everyone who come back to see this 😊 I'm Bear, but thats a codename I long exhausted
I began this hetalia blog some 4-5 years ago, as all unattended to teenagers do when they have too much daydreams about a fixation of theres. Somewhere along the line, I had a friend (Heyhey Friend) help me answer some asks because he's mlm/nblm and of legal age at the time
But then after a few sour interactions with the fandom and the overall lack of, and later underwhelming content, presented to Hetalia, I lost the will to keep running this account
It happened gradually of course. What was supposed to be a "pause to focus on work" turned into me deleting tumblr and forgetting this account even existed
But here I return to just make this gravestone of a post to a big part of my internet experience and bloom as a hobby writer
I am an adult now! I'm off to college soon. Heyhey Friend is almost graduating and we have since drifted apart (no malice at all btw!! some friendships last long, just not forever; and with maturity comes accepting that)
I am still dating and am happily in love with a person (another content creator at the time) that I met through Hetalia and Tumblr 💖 and I genuinely want to marry her
Existence is still hard as I write this, as it was when I left this account. But such is life, right? I'm gonna be fine like I've always managed to be 🫶
Part of a new fandom now! Trying to be smart about it this time. I'd probably still think I'm cringe with it later, the same way I think I'm cringe for Hetalia back then. But as long as it's fun, and at least I'm a little wiser about certain things I used to be ignorant about
I have since grown out of the Hetalia phase; and after more critical analysis and growth, I can definitely write this off as my cringe teenage fandom phase. I was always aware that Hetalia is problematic, but actually being able to see it from a non-fandom perspective is pretty wack 😅
BUT!! I don't regret this phase as much as I probably should. Again, it was the start of how I developed as a hobby writer and is a big part of my experience on the internet. Kinda like a stepping stone to maturity and critical thinking, or so I like to think of it
I'll keep this account up instead of deactivating it.... probably (as cringe as it is, I have a lot of inspo to have from this now that I look back on it). I'm not sure yet. It's cringe and provokes self-loathing, but it's not too horrible sometimes.
Not that it matters? I still see the fandom is dead as I left it BAHAHAHAHAH /pos
Won't be coming back to this account, that's for sure
I don't know if anyone will see this, but if someone does... hello 💗 and goodbye 😊
