I see some bad things happening around for too many long months and I am tired of it. Very. So, I was thinking. How about I start?
My most favorite scene from yoi was when Yuuri realized he was so so happy, he couldn’t contain it. This one:
And it was for me the same, when I went into this fandom, I kid you not! Back to anime, back to fun things - I peopled too!
Fast forward - I can’t draw much lately, the pain is really bad - but I write a lot more. Can I just tell you how many amazing people I met on the go and they made me to what I am today? Can I?

It won’t let me tag more. I know the minute I post this I realize I forgot someone. I follow almost 1K of people just here. Many don’t even have tumblr or twitter - you can find them on AO3 for example.
All of these gorgeous people, my friends, secret crushes, incredible artists or writers (some both) - who inspire me so much, make me cry or laugh (or sometimes both). I’ll go as far as say many of these gave me friendship outside of the fandom.
Hello? I just called to say I love you?
Now - can you say hello to your favorite people? Feel free to reblog, tell me about your YOI journey.
Say hello today to people you appreciate! It’s healthy and super easy - like, reblog, kudos, comment, rec fics or art, send ko-fi, become a patron, commission, message them, DM them, @@@@ the hell of them on discord… I’m sure you’ll find other great ways I couldn’t think of.
Pass it on!
@saniika You are an amazing person. I’m not just speaking about your exquisite art style, or your wonderful ways with words, but just in general. I am so happy that you’ve given me a chance for us to become friends, and I truly hope that it grows and becomes a forever friendship. 💖 I’m also very thankful for all the other amazing people I’ve gotten to know. Not just here on Tumblr but through Ao3 and other places.

I know I am missing so many people… my mind is literal mush right now…. I love all my mutuals! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m not good with words, but be tagged in such a heartwarming post made me so happy I can’t even express it!! I’m not good making friends either, but here in this fandom I’ve found so many amazing people, open minded, kind and welcoming, who helped me when I needed a hand, gave me hints, listened to me when I needed someone to talk with and gave me a lot of love when I doubted my art! Without you I wouldn’t be here, I wouldn’t be producing art, I wouldn’t have improved this much! So thank you @phaytesworld @saniika @pandamilo @yaoisqueeze @worldofcopperwings @rainlikestars @kawaiilo-ren @otayuriistheliteralbest @notgneissatall @randomsplashes @kymbawee @trashbambi @n3rdlif343va @mikkapi @theinsanefox @dismalsheen @maddcocoa @iamatrashfan and the many others I for sure forgot for being so kind to me and so amazing!
Aww you are so sweet @heilariart! Right back at you! <3
I’ve met some wonderful people in this fandom and I’m so grateful for all of you!
@thoughtsappear @tootsonnewts @eclair @magical-mistral @forward-pass @theinsanefox @voxane @iladylittlefinger @claminosity @gwen-chan @badaltin @lecheesie @kymbawee @onotherflights and others I’m forgetting because my memory is like a block of Swiss cheese…
Thank you @worldofcopperwings . It means a lot!
The YOI fandom is the first in which I feel I can truly connect with people
A big shout out to @curlavski , @adrianasbusybrain , @rogovich , @madlepus , @sarabelez , @psychoticfrog , @chat-noir-chocolat , @nikiforoov , @midnightmooncatcher and @kyokotsukuyomi
These are the people with whom I chatted the most and feel like there is more than a simple superficial mutual connaissance. But this doesn’t mean I don’t love all the other wonderful people I met in the fandom along the way
Thank you, @gwen-chan, you’re one of the gentle souls I’m glad that I met in this fandom!
The people I love and only meet because YoI:
@dismalsheen, angry cat irl, thanks for being so understanding when I need to talk about my shit!
@i-gotyou-first aka @devwrites22 my soul sister, we are basically the same person T_T
@chat-noir-chocolat my dearest friend, actual angel, I would be lost without you! :D
@nikiforoov always so kind and supporting, blessing me with advices and amazing art! :’D
@otabeautiful an amazing best friend, I am so glad you still write me! :3
And l probably forgetting people here, I’m sorry, and I love you too, but my brain is a mess!
I can't eben express how happy this makes me ❤❤ thank you @madlepus, you're amazing and one of the most wonderful people I met here.
There are also many others like @yuri-beka , @nagekiweki , @phaytesworld , @worldofcopperwings , @lecheesie , @eclair , @onotherflights , @ded-i-am-just-ded and a lot more. Even if we don't write regularely (or at all), your content makes me happy to be a part of this awesome fandom!
And everyone who I might have forgotten to mention: I love every last one of you ❤❤
