Mind If I Come Over And Behave Somewhat Like A Scared Animal Before I Adjust

i love being in online communities

i don't technically know you, but i do understand you

it feels so loving

chat he's so me !!!

i love him sm omg

in 2025 can we go back to consuming media slower? no more "sorry I'm late to this" two weeks after a game or show comes out, no more "late to this trend" about art memes or prompt fills a couple days later

not everyone has access/time/energy to drop everything and binge/draw/etc the moment a new media property comes out

slow down, let yourself enjoy the media and explore the narratives, quit putting pressure on each other to produce so much work, HAVE FUN

and while we're at it, let the artists and writers and gif makers and everyone else involved with fan content know that you appreciate them. leave a comment on that fic, squawk in the tags, send a (nice) anon

just, let's get back to playing in fandom again, yeah?

they will replace me so easily and never remember who i even was

my insides feel rotten, i dont feel like a real person

i hate myself a little extra when i open up to someone.

I hate opening TikTok comments, they always say things so definitively. Like idk man! Can you cite your sources
