0densemuch shenanigans in the world! hello again dreamwidth, though. it's so nice to have a quiet corner of the internet - and rare these days, too!
anyway. despite it all. much to love in our own slice of fandom. as I looked for my dw password, I found an older post where I wondered about leaving fandom altogether, because I wasn't vibing with the places I'd been hanging out. Part of that was probably growing out of particular media preferences; part was probably just my life-art balance swinging hither and thither, as it will. But it did line up that I had space in myself open just in time to meet sharkudablr, and it's really been a nice place to call home base for - gosh, has it been years now? wow!
like, getting way too in my head about hockey, of all things, was one of my best tools in reckoning with my tumor adventure. of all things! but whatever it takes!! and now, even earlier today I was out for a walk and stepped more carefully around a patch of wet leaves, because that's the kind of accidental fall that took out my oc Colin from the Trophy rp. who'd've told me back then that I'd be happy enough again in fandom, in hockey-derived fandom of all places, to be trying to rp again!
and like, in a plain numbers sense: 21.5k words of fic and a few distinct rounds of charity donations that've been organised around our corner of fandom. to think that some dink in buffalo had a fight with his boss, and the dominoes fell for me all the way over here. wild!
so, despite the trash fire escalating on socmed: I get the move for shuttering or deleting, but I'd much rather not lose everyone, if we can avoid it. the public internet is simply not a safe place for hrpf, but I'd be happy to bunker down somewhere around here instead! I'm lighting a beacon, come find me!
