This letter is a little bit different from the rest. Iโm sorry for any delay in the normal letters, I wanted to wait for the debut. Iโd be writing a letter dedicated to the next person, but this is my letter to all of you.
I started watching I-LAND partially as a joke. I wasnโt on Tumblr that much, I had a few other K-pop groups that I liked, but I wasnโt in the fandoms that much. A friend texted me that there was a survival debut show that was airing soon and I watched it to humor them.
By the time I got to the second episode, I was already hooked. I loved all their interactions and I loved their performances and I found myself rooting for each and every boy that was on the show. I looked for contentโfor art and for writing and for wallpapers and edits and so much more and I found myself scrolling through Tumblr, laughing at incorrect quotes, and looking with wide eyes at different blogs that were interacting with each other as if theyโd known each other for years. By that time Iโd decided to become more active on Tumblr, and after working up the courage to talk with people, I got adopted into the amazing family.
That was five months ago now.
It took me a while to get used to it all. I now had people who I interacted with on a daily basis. I was scared to talk to a lot of people, and I still am, but now Iโve grown comfortable with all of you and I care for you all with all my heart.
You all have supported me through my low days. You all cried with me when someone got eliminated. Youโve screamed with me when a trailer or a teaser gets released. Youโve bubbled with theories and symbolism and lore. Youโve produced so much content, content that never fails to amaze me every day. You clown with me, laugh with me, you all are always here for me.
Weโve watched as these boys have gone from trainees to idols. And today they have debuted.
Iโve had some ups and downs and Iโve had good days and bad days. I am slow to write letters and I have created very little content or contributions to this fandom. But you all are a constant to me. You are a shoulder I can lean on.
As I write this Iโm hiding behind a profile pic and a sideblog, so I donโt know whether this letter will mean anything to you. But I want to tell you all that you mean the world to me.
Thank you for the support, the laughs, the good and bad, the happy and the sad. How you have accepted me into the family and made me feel welcome.
Thank you for everything.
All the love I could possibly give,
