Hey, this may be kind of a stupid question, but is the group of "things[overwatch character]says" still a thing/still active? I used to follow most of you guys but your blog is the only one i follow who's updated even remotely recently, haha. Also, if you guys are still a thing, are you an official group? How would someone join if they wanted to? Thanks in advance

Do not worry, friend, this is not a stupid question. Tbh I ask this myself sometimes.
I used to be in a big ol' discord server with all of the other blogs, and we would talk about the game and updates and fun stuff we were posting. There were some really nice people there (there were also a couple of nuts but don't tell them I said that), and I'd like to think I got along well with them. Tracer and Junkrat were always the nicest to me.
We were never really an "official" group, but we were pretty well organized, and there was a clear hierarchy in the discord. There were a few times when the people in charge would try to enforce the (rather arbitrary) rules anytime someone (usually me) said or did something that didn't exactly fit the character they were playing. As you can imagine this happened often.
As for now, I'd like to say that we're all good friends who still talk and play Overwatch together...
But we're not.
A while back, after a series of members began shutting down their blogs, the discord server just kind of... dissapeared. There was no more hierarchy, no more arbitrary rules, no more anything. Did they kick me out, did they delete the server, I never found out.
The people I had been talking to for over a year just up and vanished. And we really haven't spoken since.
I've tried to keep up with this blog, it hasn't always been easy. I'm in college now, and honestly I haven't even been playing Overwatch for a long time. I've kinda lost all interest.
I really can't say for certain which blogs are down and which ones are still active, I kinda haven't interacted with any of them for a while. At this point if you want to join, you can probably just make your own blog and unofficially join.
I'm glad you still have interest in this blog and our little community type thingy. It's nice to know someone appreciated it.

OOC: Hey! What a coincidence that I see this the first time I log onto tumblr in literal months. I never disclosed much personal information or ever said I was going inactive, but I obviously haven’t been active on this account in years. I started this blog when I was 16, I’m 19 now and a sophomore in college, which is crazy to think about! My name is Eli, if anyone from our group remembers me. You all had a huge impact on my life when I was at a really low point, and I still consider everyone in that group to be a friend. There was definitely drama, but I mostly remember it positively. This blog was a needed distraction from my life back in the day, and to anyone who interacted with me and sent in asks, it would make my day to know so many people wanted to interact with my little blog. All of you made me into the guy I am today! And yes, I do still play Overwatch.
