Leaving the fandom
9 years ago
Hey guys. Oh wow, it's been a while, hasnt it? So, i guess you all already know what's coming due to the title of this journal
I'm gonna try to do this without making it too cheesy or cringy, hah.
Before i begin..no, i will not be selling my characters. I still want to keep them.
And for those who dont know, ive sold my suits. I'm not selling or trading anything. Thank you.
So about a year ago i felt very diconnected from the fandom. At the time, i was also dealing with alot of hard things. But back in march last year, something just snapped in my head. I've just had enough of being sad. So i decided to do something else then sitting in my room and feel sorry for myself. I applied for college, and i got into the school i wanted to!
So that's why i haven't been that active the past half year. But it's also because i was debating wether to leave the fandom or not. It's been hard, it really has. But i've made a decision. I am going to focus on my education, i aiming to become a concept artist for a game company or freelance artist. I don't know, something with art. It's all i'm good at, really, hah.
Leaving this fandom is hard because it's been an amazing journey. It made me do things i never thought i could. Like going across the world, to another country, another continent..all by myself at the age of 18, to attend a con with friends. Never in my wildest dreams would i think i would be able to do that. Heck, i couldn't even take the local bus back then.
I have grown so much since i got into this fandom. Become adult (Ugh, i know). I was 15 when i joined, now im 20. I guess i've kinda outgrown it aswell. Not saying its a childish thing! It was just the case for me.
You know, i've moved out from home, dyed my hair pink and lost 90 lbs. I've changed alot, and so i guess this ''new me'' doesnt really fit in this fandom anymore.
I've met so many amazing people through this fandom and i am so thankful that i did. You brought out another side of me, a better side. Thank you for actually taking the time to hang out with a socially awkward person like i was. It meant alot, and it changed me for the better. Thank you. I will never forget the fun times we had together. I will cherish those memories forever.
I want to thank some special people.
Monty, thank you for talking to that girl who was sitting all alone at AC 2012. I don't know if i would've been in the fandom for this long if it wasnt for you. You made it so much more amazing and awesome. Thank you for talking to me, comforting me when i was sad and giving me the best advice, even to this day. You've helped me grow, become an adult, you know. Thank you for caring and asking how i'm doing now and then. Youre an amazing person, dont anyone tell you otherwise. Ta å hold kjeften på deg <3
Daf, where do i even start? You are one of the sweetest people ive ever met. Youre always so nice and willing to help no matter what. Thank you for being there for me whenever i needed someone to lean on. Just keep being amazing. And please promise me, to never be afraid to be yourself. No matter who sees it, you should always be you! <3
Cata. Oh how i miss going ham with you. I wish i could relive all those crazy things we did together. Thank you for teaching me how to draw, ive always looked up to your art! You are such an amazing, beautiful, strong person. Just keep doing what youre doing <3
I miss you all so damn much. I hope i get to see you all one day soon.
And thank you to whoever took the time to talk or hang out with me. Youre all amazing people and i am very thankful i got to talk/hang with you!
