It's TEN YEARS since the first episode of My Mad Fat Diary aired!
🎧📀📕🍻🍕🩱🎸🛵
Were you watching in the early days or did you discover it later (or even recently)?
If My Mad Fat Diary means something special to you, it'd be lovely to hear from you, either below or in an Ask. Memories of the show, favourite cast members, outfits, songs, or scenes, and the fanfics or fan art you loved.

When Finn told her, "I don't mind that you've got stuff. Everyone's got stuff, really." when he told her, "Once upon a time, in a disabled toilet far, far away, you asked me why I liked you, remember? It's because you're strong. You just don't know it yet."

I've been silent for too long. Controversial opinion. Finn Nelson didn't cheat and literally did everything he could to help Rae. Like she was lying to him, hiding things from him, and basically telling him to fuck off for the whole of the last season. He was constantly being made to feel like his looks were a problem, like yeah, I'd probably kiss someone else when we were on a break too tf. My man must have been exhausted. Like he put in work to be possibly the best bf to ever grace screens. And y'all want to strip him of his crown when he did 1 little thing that realistically anyone trying to get over someone who constantly rejected them would?? Bombastic side eye.

My Mad Fat Diary (2013 - 2015)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
TW: This series includes self esteem issues, depression, self-harm, and suicide. Please be aware of triggers prior to starting this show.
It’s hard to review things I already appreciated in my adolescence and remain unbiased, but this series holds a soft spot in my heart. There are only a few series that left me craving more episodes after their intended series that actually landed. I love this cast and every vital part they play.
The acting is tremendous, and left me in tears on many occasions. At it’s core, it is a young woman navigating the new world beyond her mental illness; but it is so much more than that. Friendship, family, renewal, alcohol, school, parties, illness, breakdowns, breakups, and breakthroughs.
I have even used the advice of the snarky psychiatrist Kester to advise myself through hard patches. There is so many things of value in this series, and I am forever appreciative of that.
This is worth a watch, but only if you:
Can tolerate heavy storylines around mental health
Appreciate the Cool Britannia aesthetic and it’s many playlists
Titles similar to this:
Skins (2007-2013) (You knew this was coming! Similar themes throughout, but a more dramatic, darker tone)
Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) (similar aesthetic, heavy themes of abuse and depression, drama)
Awkward (2011) (Comedy surrounding an misunderstanding that gives a highschooler the nickname of “Suicide Girl”)

I got such a wave of nostalgia just from seeing these screen names come across my dash!
I was late to start MMFD. I came in sometime after *that* gif of Rae and Finn talking in her bed after her party started popping up everywhere in my casual scrolling 🥰
Little did I know that gif would lead me to one of my all-time favorite shows and a little community of like-minded watchers that would immediately feel like home!
I was never writing more than when I was watching MMFD. I felt so inspired by the show itself and by all of the other incredible authors whose work I was reading ferociously. There’s still a folder on my computer bursting with unfinished ideas that I go back to once in a while just to feel a little of the magic I felt in those days.
Truly cannot believe it’s been 10 years when it all feels like yesterday?? Bonkers.
It was such a fun, friendly community, and there were a huge number of mega-talented writers and artists. It was a fandom punching well above its weight!

Just wanted to say, thank you for your wonderful fanfics! They were a treasure to find and a joy to read. I think I have binged them all, lol. You are such a great and talented writer. Every single story captured their characters beautifully! 🥲💖
Oh my goodness! Thank you thank you THANK YOU!! I’m so ecstatically happy you enjoyed them!! I wasn’t even sure anyone read mmfd fics anymore as I’m rarely on here these days, and it’s fantastic to know they are read. I appreciate you beyond belief!
These two dickheads, along with all of my fellow emus, will have a part of my heart forever. xx
