I love this fandom. Betrayed and hurt, folks still out here being raw and authentic, reaching out to people on the big bad anonymous internet to check in with each other and continue in hope and joy, despite feeling a bit more wary and understandably sad. I can still hear Pygmy Love Song over the sound of mutual heartbreak.
I am well aware that some measure of Persona and “best version of disastrous self” is to be expected. We all put the ART in artifice. That is ok. And I know some people require discretion and/or complete anonymity online, for all kinds of valid and understandable reasons.
But most of us are sharing real and authentic aspects of ourselves, in the same spirit as this kind and beautiful show. Most of us aren’t misrepresenting our identities. Most of us aren’t thieves.
Sending 💌 to all the beautiful and kind people I know in this fandom. 🪴🏴☠️❤️🩹
