So, I want to point out, again, that I don't mean to insult the person who tagged me in that thread on Twitter yesterday. Just a lot of stress and I felt my identity ousted, so I just panicked and locked my Twitter account.

Today, I woke feeling much better and not so stressed about what happened yesterday. I made sure to call my mom first thing, and she's doing alright, if still a bit shaken (and pissed she has to get a new car). After some time and at work, I got a message from one of the people tagged in that thread. While I dreaded it at first, my guess is that he realized that my account going protected meant that I felt scared or something. His words were comforting, that he knows many furries and does not have any problem with him. Ended up talking a bit with him and he is a very chill and nice dude. He did want to see about getting more information about my grandpa for his cartoon history thingy, mostly because he and several of his buddies in the animation world really look up to him and were inspired by his work.

People still love ya, gramps.

I'm going to see about what I can find for that, of course when my family dramas die down. But it made me feel so much better and realize that yesterday was an absolute knee-jerk reaction. I would say, can you blame me with all the drama that hit at once (plus a bunch of others I didn't mention because some of it is petty), but yeah, hindsight 20/20.

I'm back to being public and goofy, if still a little shaken. Thank you all for your kind comments about anything and everything. I really do see you all as my friends, and I appreciate everyone of you, even if all we share is a hi every so often.

Thanks everyone.

At least yesterday's stress wasn't entirely in vain, I wrote a fic. More of an excerpt, an ending to a fic I probably won't write (I already have 3 in the works and I apparently add a new idea to a pile). I may post it here for funsies.
