Curate, connect, and discover
I logged into my old IG account where I made all kind of edits and stuff like that for my former "main" fandoms....
some of the people I interacted with are still active, though time flew over them, maybe they changed completely. some are gone; empty accounts without a pfp, "not active anymore" as a bio, or they even ceased to exist on IG, deleting themselves
I felt such a rush of sadness and regret over something so trivial, and still. I joined Tumblr last year (5. 17.) and I already made more meaningful connections that I ever did, in any fandom I was part of
I guess it's thanks to the difference between Tumblr and IG, and the fact that I got older in the meantime, but it still amazes me that there are people I genuinely call my friends, whom I met here. some of them are literally on the other side of the world (hello Brazilian folks!), and yet they are still closer than many people who are with me physically, but physically only
