I’m almost at 200 followers on this blog, a blog I opened up upon joining the VC fandom a little less than a year ago, and I just wanted to say, thank you.
This, by far, has been the best fandom community I’ve been a part of, and I’m really grateful for it. Sure, we sometimes have our disagreements and our fights, but when it comes down to it, they get solved or pushed aside for the sake of community well-bring. For the most part, most everyone that I have met has been very respectful of one another, or at they very least willing to learn from one another. There are truly some talented, kind, and enthusiastic people in this fandom, which makes it all worthwhile. I am a part of other fandoms (seen on my main) that are not as blessed. I am a part of a fandom involved in heavy recent discourse, and others that remain partly dead despite having new material and new fans. It gets frustrating, but I know I can always come home to this fandom. I know the dynamic may change when the VC TV show is finally out, but I hope our community remains close to its core.
So, thank you again, and keep being you! I intend to stick around for a very long time ❤
(//ooc: I doubt that that could have happened, but I’m going to indulge anon bc I know who they are and I know their intentions are good, they just want a little fluff so here it is 😉 )
♛In a perfect world, ma petite, Louis would have returned to New Orleans with me, and I would have opened all the floodgates, given him everything, I would have told him everything he ever wanted to know. I know now that he was strong enough for it then. I was also in terrible physical and emotional shape at the time, and knowing him the way I do now, I know he would have helped me to heal in every way he could. This kind of open communication and support would have brought us closer together at a time when we were both wounded and needed it so badly.
And then of course I would have done my best to romance him from the beginning, better than I’d done before.
I’ve got a class on deciphering eighteenth- and nineteenth-century #handwriting today. Last week we tried to transcribe a photocopy of Keats’s draft of Ode to Autumn. #johnkeats #keats #studygram #studyblr #classicliterature #potd (at University of Oxford)
