Confession 4... this isnt about the game, moreso the community, but. there was nothing exactly wrong with the 'fandom' (i hate using that word so much but its whatever) around 2018-2919 but the way people were put up on pedestals and just. idk. everything about it made you want to leave. multiple of my mutuals ive lost contact with cause they said they didnt want to stay in the fandom anymore, so they either left to another website or just.. disappeared. entirely. no trace left behind. and after i while i 'left' too, just by stopping my posting about the game and not lookign at fanart anymore cause.. idk man it was weird. the thing that sucks though is that i LOVE this game but im afraid to go back into the fandom even though its been so long. i just wanna share thoughts about the little alien kids..

#hat confession #I greatly sympathize anon. This sort of convoluted fan community structure would easily alienate anyone.#I personally joined hat tumblr pretty late in so I don't have much memory of how it used to be but i definitely recognize what you speak of #I've been frequenting the main tags since 2020 and I'd say in 2023 the main posters are the opposite of clique-y.#I think the pedestals were mainly caused by a divide between those who actively post various artworks #and those who reserve theirselves to purely interacting and creating fanblog specific fanbases.#Nowadays I think theres much more people of the 'poster' subset than there are those who engage with them #hence why the community feel barely alive and disjointed.#I think your best bet is to create a sideblog and maintag every little unserious post you make.#The main tags belong to you as much to you as they do to anybody else. Go stupid go crazy go earnest go silly go sincere #a hat in time #ahit
