#im a sappy lil bird and i have a lotta stuff to say

[bdluejay]

according to spotify, it's been exactly one year since i got into lemon demon

i could have never expected that my intense enjoyment of one album would bring me the biggest hyperfixation of my life, introduce me to a lovely community, and allow me to meet so many new friends, including my best friend in the whole world.

lemon demon is incredible music that makes me so happy every time i listen to it. and aside from his music, neil cicierega makes so much great content that makes me very happy as well. him and all his friends that hes worked with are all so funny and talented.

the community around his content is so nice and welcoming. ive never been really involved in fandom, even back when i was a huge h*mestuck, but the excitement and passion and enthusiasm for neil and his content are so infectious that it's kept me into LD for an entire year.

shout out to everyone that has ever made fan content for lemon demon, you all are so talented and creative, it makes me lose my mind every time i go into the tag.

and shoutout to lemonology especially. everyone in that server is so nice, welcoming, talented, funny, creative, and just all around incredible people. ive made a bunch of friends because of this little subsection of the fandom and joining the server was the best decision ive made in my life. thank you to byona, evil, jake, and jay for being the spearheads of the server and thank you to literally everyone else who has ever been in the server for making it what it is today. i love yall

and because of lemonology and lemon demon, ive met my best friend in the whole world and my platonic soulmate, @yikes-strikes-again, miss natalie, and i cant thank the universe enough for the sequence of events that led to us meeting and befriending each other. i love you so much natalie and i cant wait to meet you some day soon :>

and also theres a ton of friends ive made other than natalie (but natalie is the most important do not forget that.) people like sabbath, ame, grace, miranda, andrew, jeremy, riley, tunny, pom, doohan, and sooooooo many more people have been amazing friends to me and an amazing community. lemon demon may be what brought us all together, but its the people in the community that makes it so great to be in. 

and id be remiss if i didnt mention mister max pacheco, friend of neil, who i started watching his streams on a whim, and now i have a lovely community with him and his twitch chat, and a friend in him as well!! (and not to brag but im a mod in his twitch chat aha gently flexes how cool i am by proxy)

anyways, the main point of this is that i cant believe ive been into lemon demon for a whole ass year. this music has brought so much joy and happiness and love into my life and i cant repay neil enough for having made the stuff that he has.

i love all of you who ive met bc of LD so much, and i love everyone i havent met but who contribute to the community and make our little corner of the internet so great. here’s to many more years of a funny guy’s funny music <3
