2020 in review...

This year has just been a time. Not an easy one, for many of us, myself included. But I’ve been fortunate enough to find a truly wonderful group of people here on Tumblr, at a time when I most needed to have people around. Even though I’ve only known y’all for a few months, it feels like I’ve known you for years already—and I hope to actually be able to say I’ve known y’all for years at some point!!! Thank you to everyone here who has become a friend, and to the rest of you, I hope to get to know you better and be able to call you friend someday as well!!! Thank you for helping me grow as a person and as a writer, and for all of the love and support you’ve shown over the past months. You all mean so, so much to me, but there are a few people I want to mention specifically.

@the-cowbi Mouse, you’re one of the bestest, most amazing people I know, and I’m so lucky to have met you!!! You were the first friend I made in the Newsies fandom, and I’m so glad we met because I’m not sure I would have met anyone else in the fandom if you hadn’t sucked me fully into it. It’s been truly wonderful to see everything you create; your writing is and continues to be amazing, and I can’t wait to see what else you come up with in 2021!!! Thank you so, so much for letting me kidnap/adopt Cora, and for letting me ramble about AUs and OCs and everything else to you all the time. Most of all, thank you for helping me to be a better person, and for reminding me that it’s okay to not be okay when I need to hear it.

@sour-picklee M&M, I am officially adopting you as my new little brother/sibling. You’re the best, and I truly love talking to you all the time. Thank you for trusting me and telling me about your OCs. You’re so creative and clever!!! I’ve loved hearing about the things you’ve created and done so far, and look forward to lots more stories! Also, your art is amazing and I love seeing it always aonfaopinfeoiawpfe.

@cutesiewooren I already got sappy in your ask box, so I’ll keep it simple and just say thank you for always being up for weird conversations about Hobbit AUs where Gandalf is two scandanavian gnome-dwarves in a trench coat and Legolas abandoning Bard’s children in Laketown if there was no Tauriel to keep an eye on them and all of the dwarves being otters. But also for always being up for surprisingly deep conversations when they happen, too xD

@wormsiewithablog hi yes I love you; you’re one of the sweetest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Thank you for yelling at me to finish blankets always being such a wonderful force of love and kindness and joy. Your artwork is amazing and I love to see it and everything else you create. Also, your memes??? Impeccable. You’re a beautiful person inside and out and I’ve loved getting to know you!!! (also yes I’m adopting you too, whether it’s as your vodka aunt or whatever else you want)—

@fifty-for-the-racer ANNE!!! You’re wonderful and it’s been such a joy getting to know you the past few months!!! Thank you so, so much for all of your support on New Music—I’m not entirely sure I would have finished it without your tags and comments encouraging me. It’s been awesome seeing how you’ve been honing your art style and improving as an artist—I can’t wait to see what else you create this year, because it’s all been so lovely so far, yet with every new piece of yours I see I’m like ‘oh my gosh, this is even better than the last one’!!! You’re a wonderful person, and you always have a kind and encouraging word to say and that’s so amazing.

I know there are more people, but my brain is dying so I’m just going to say a big general THANK YOU FOR BEING AMAZING and tag a bunch of people and I know I’m going to miss some but this is everyone I can think of right now and I’m sorry if I’ve forgotten you I promise it’s not because I don’t love you its because I’m not good at remembering names and URLs 😅

You’re all amazing people and I’ve been so blessed to get to interact with you, whatever form that interaction has taken. Thank you for being a part of my life!!!
