OWO HEWWO THEWE MITHIMA THANK YWOU FOR MAKING THE THITE, AND THANK ALL OF YWOU FOR BEING HEWE~!!!!!!!!!
God, I hate myself.
Anyway, uh
It's pretty weird to think about, isn't it? I mean, if you had told me a year ago that my decision to visit this site and shitpost about Devil Survivor would eventually lead to me making some of the most supportive and fun friends I've ever had I probably would have called you a liar and left to go eat ice cream to fill the void your lie left in my heart. Or uh, however that line went.
Seriously though, it's such a surreal feeling to me. Before the Phansite came around, I was just in a sort of haze. I didn't have any desire, any goal, any dream. I had no will to live of my own. I didn't like, want to kill myself, or anything. I just didn't care. I can't even envision what it was like, honestly. Being around people who did care, who had reasons to live, it sort of made me realize how childish I really was.
That said, it hasn't been all great, of course; but to me, the good greatly outweighs the bad. It's amazing how much fun I have here, and for every time I dislike being here, or time something happens that really gets under my skin, there are two other times that make me so happy that I don't even care about the former.
In particular, special shout outs to Mishima and the other mods, you've all been great. Hibiki especially has been a great friend. Everyone from Marsh and Lewd's place, even if it isn't as active anymore it was still a ton of fun to be there. For individuals there are almost too many to count, but I can try. I want to give special mention to Yu, Kalib, Tatsuya, Nigor, PK, Delta, Saya, Take, and everyone else in my thuper thecwet pwivate thewver OwO. You guys have all been awesome. Although he doesn't use the site much himself at all, I did also meet Xanadu vicariously through it, so that's worth mentioning. He's helped a lot too.
Of course, I'd be remiss to forget Harusu. At risk of getting too sappy and her breaking me in half, she's helped me take a second look at myself and made me genuinely more happy than I have ever been. I can't even begin to describe how odd it is that chance encounters on THIS site of all places would lead me to meet someone I just, love. Looking back, the odds are just so astronomically low that I'd meet her, or hell, anyone I mentioned and end up forging these relationships I hold so dearly.
My favorite part of all of this though, is that my little tale isn't unique. It isn't just one example. Communities like this can have such profound effects on people, and I'm just one case. That's the great part about things like this, and why I'm so attached to the site.
So, glad to have been here guys, and thank you.
