The snow-white ground was cracked like dried lips and crunched under my feet. I could smell the salt. I kept trying to think of what it looked like, but my brain could only find highly figurative similes. It looks like driving alone at night feels. It looks like everything you're scared to say out loud. It looks like the moment the water retreats from the shore just before a wave rolls in.

I wish I could show the second picture to the person in the first one. 7 years, 6 of T, top surgery I thought was impossible, and about 100 yards separate us as I sit in the pick up line waiting for my cousins to get out of school

i would never @ my beloved vlogbrothers about this bc that would just be drama bait. with that in mind:

i was reminiscing about my history as a nerdfighter (The community / fandom centred around the Green brothers as artists, educators, personalities, & role models) and got one of Hank Green[ and The Perfect Strangers]'s old Harry Potter songs stuck in my head - by virtue of just remembering it exists - and just kinda being grimly amused by such an earnest and loving song dedicated to an artist who is just a known massive piece of shit at this point.

and also just being amused and disappointed in the naivete of both 12 y/o me and uh *checks notes* 34 y/o Hank in thinking this billionaire-brit must be pretty cool and decent bc she's a philanthropist who owns an IP we like. The best parts of her work (and based on the critical love they give their own online community I think the Green Bro's know this) were the bits that had nothing to do with her. at the far end of "not canon" is not-for-profit fandom stuff that's talked about between a small group of friends. but there are also just so many people who made HP more than just one shitty white cishets work. Every director, concept artist, editor, actor - as well as otherwise BtS workers like VFX artists, caterers, and custodial staff - added to this work. And it's sad how deeply it's all been stained by her bigotry and ignorance.

I do ultimately think it's Not Good™ to buy and promote any of her work but in this small semi-private space I just wanted to talk about my ✨feelings✨

#personal #if you bother these kind men you are bit my friend :( #there are obvs real good faith criticisms of both of them and things they've done #or works theyve released #but i think they've been a net good on the planet and i know theyve been a net positive in my life #and therefore also the lives of folk who i've had the honour of helping : ) #nerdfighter #nerdfighteria #vlogbrothers #vlogbros #fandom #jkr #hp #harry potter #harry potter cw #jkr cw #trans takes on hp #trans discourse #fandom discourse #fandom disk horse #vent #diary

watching vlogbrothers as a homeschooler is literally like seeing your teacher at the grocery store and accidentally chatting them up

i didn’t see a nerdfighter campaign in ripmedicaldebt (the site that buys medical debt and then forgives it!) so i made one for anyone who wants to donate together! :D (https://ripmedicaldebt.org/campaign/saffodils-42958/)

anyone else just spend 10 seconds aggressively yelling NERDFIGHTERS at their tv while watching jeopardy tonight?

When John Green said “Nerds are allowed to love stuff. Like jump up and down in your seat can’t control yourself love it” he really meant “we’re all a bit autistic here and that’s cool”

i am eternally fascinated by john green’s theology, but he never goes into detail about it. the college ministry leader in me wants to ask him to “get a coffee” (discuss at length our theology and experience with religion)

Nerdfighters!!

So once upon a time in a year that was 2007, Hank and John Green (yeah, those internet-famous dudes) started a vlogging channel called vlogbrothers. In 2007, I discovered the community and truly found a place that felt like I belonged in it.

That era of the internet was a wild, amazing time, and I miss it.

Now, in 2023, Hank Green has cancer. And for the sake of nostalgia (and not because I think Hank is gonna die, because I don’t, because he has great doctors and a really good prognosis), I’ve started to rewatch those videos from the beginning.

And MAN does it feel like coming home.

So I didn’t have a super-great childhood. I was what we used to call a “latchkey kid” and what we now call “a child of emotionally neglectful parents”. It was a little worse than that in some ways, and in some ways, a little better. But at the time, I was a kid who spent most of their free time alone.

But I had the internet! And in 2007, the internet was a wild west of a place. I’m talking geocities and websites that literally anyone could make, but a with bunch of search engine sites that were fresh babies, you could get your silly fake website to the stop of a results page and lead an unsuspecting child to some wild misinformation.

Or, in my case, youtube videos about nerds. Fighting nerds.

As I go through these videos, I remember some of the in-jokes that still exist in the lexicon of John-and-Hank videos, and get to relive the birth of those moments, like the tiny chicken, or fishing boat proceeds, and of course, the most iconic, birth of the name and hand-symbol of Nerdfighters.

(This is where I would put a gif of the nerdfighter symbol IF I HAD ONE)

(Can I imbed a gif that tumblr doesn’t have? Can I--?)

...Link in the doobleydoo, if you’re a fellow Nerdfighter who gets it, but click and you get the Nerdfighter motion, it’s fine. It’s fine. 

ANYWAY 

Part of therapy is finding who you used to be, without getting too stuck on who you used to be. The part of you that dies when trauma happens doesn’t come back, but it doesn’t mean they are completely gone. It just means you will never be whole in the same way that you were before. But you can become whole again, just differently. 

Watching these two dudes in their late 20′s (I am OLDER than they were when they started WHAT) do silly things to create joy and decrease worldsuck, is incredible. And it’s also what I wanted to do with my life in the Great Before. I can get some of that back, if I remember what I loved about it in the first place. 

I hope so, anyway. Wish me luck, Void. 

And Don’t Forget To Be Awesome.
