Alrighty well cuz it’s mushy gushy time, imma just ramble idk I’ll keep it short
I mostly just wanted to say thanks to everyone on here. On 2023 about a month from now I joined Tumblr for the first time because Rise of the TMNT had me in a chokehold and refused to let go. Honestly I stayed away from Tumblr all these years ‘cause of the reputation that it’s bOnKeRs cRaZy iNsAniTy but honestly I learned it’s my entire type of bonkers crazy insanity that I adore. I wish I joined sooner but I’m also kind of happy I joined during this seeming boom in the Rise fandom. I’ve followed so many fanworks from their early days and got to see them grow. I was a part of that one contest where Donnie was nominated for having the most Autistic rizz or something (SO CLOSE TO WINNING TOOO). I’ve even found a server through this app that’s let me become friends with so many of the people I admired just as creators. And of course, I started my own Rise fic. I’m not shitting you I know it’s not that well known but even the attention it’s gotten has pleasantly surprised me so much.
Tumblr has genuinely been the best thing to happen to me in 2023. I got on here when I was just starting to heal from a lot of bullshit and toxicity I left recently and had like no friends or people to talk to. I just binged Rise memes on Tumblr and stories and comics and they kept me sane during that lonely period. Now I’m in a place where I’m confident in myself, genuinely love and appreciate the ups and downs of my life, and have a lovely amount of people to call my friends both online and in real life.
I really wouldn’t be here without you guys. I know this is all cheesy to say but I genuinely didn’t think my year would turn out this fun and amazing. 2023 has no exaggeration been the first year of my life where I felt truly genuinely happy. So really, thank you guys
Cheers to 2024 :3 Who knows how chaotic or insane or exciting or even depressing this new year may be but I’m just glad to still be here to witness it all, both the good and the bad. We survived folks and to me, that’s a huge accomplishment!~
