hi there friends and followers! this is not a post that I really thought I would be making but here we are. (it's not serious, i promise)

a couple years ago i made a new primary blog using a separate email from this account. i wanted a Star Trek specific blog, but I wanted all the features of a primary blog, you know? so I created @commander-quack-to-the-bridge and have been using that for all things star trek since i made it.

i was on that blog all the time and saw all kinds of posts spanning various fandoms that i am a part of. so i was like, "cool i'll just make this my fandom space" and made a secondary blog there for Stranger Things @on-coming-dusk

which turned into me making a book blog turned Warm Bodies specific @mart-notes

but i can't have a million fandom specific secondary blogs so i finally caved and told myself i'll only make specific blogs for my really big fandoms - and then i'll have my general blog there too.

to be honest, i'm always logged into my fandom blogs on my phone and i only occasionally sign back in here.

it makes me a little sad because this is my blog that i made while i was in high school and it's got some of my favorite posts ever saved to it. but i rarely log in.

i used it as a point of contact on my fics and linktree and everything. but i think it's time to change that. i don't want to miss someone reaching out to me just because i am rarely present here anymore.

so this isn't good bye per se, but it is "see you later". I'll still be around. I'll still log in and reblog things and keep this account active because I couldn't stand to let it go. but i am more active on my other blogs so i just want to direct people there.

i am also making this post to clear up any confusion. i've been posting about my fics here for ever but i'm going to start posting about them on my other blog but it's still me! :)

I've got a pinned post at the top of my account that has all of my handles for my other blogs, in case you want to find me or see what I've been up to! :)

Yes he's just a minor character, as many of them are in Yuri on Ice. But that's one of the things that was so special about that show, at least for me. He may have only gotten one short program that we got to watch, he wasn't one of the final 6 to make it to the final, so we saw very little of him. But they had such a way of making him, as well as many others, a thought out and relatable boy.

I watched that show when I was very depressed, majorly struggling to understand why we're all here and what the point off at this was. When getting out of bed was a mountain instead of a molehill and I didn't think that life was going to really get any better. Watching Yuuri Katsuki go through similar issues, realizing that we are often our own worst enemy, that was all really great, helps me a lot. But there was something about Leo.

He's 19, I was 20 or 21 at the time, so we were pretty similar in age and that was really nice. Yuuri and Victor seemed so much older than me, older than I was really able to see myself as. 21 was hell. I couldn't imagine myself as 27, as Victor. (As I type this is am in fact 27, going on 28 in the spring. 💛)

19 year old Leo de la Iglesia. A minor character in a short show that in many way saved my life and certainly saved me from myself. I still don't know exactly what drew me in to him. I'm usually more of a fan of the dark, brooding, angry but is secretly quite soft characters. And Leo... he isn't that.

His name is Leo and he is a Leo and he's just this ray of sunshine and he loses his brain cells when Phichit and Guang-Hong are with him. He cares so much about his sport and the other people in it and he wants to do well but I think they did a good job of showing that he doesn't want to succeed because of other people's failures but because of his own growth.

I wanted to write this really well thought out post about how great Leo is but all I can think of to fully describe him is:

☀️🦁♌️🏠⛸️😁🥰✨💛☀️

So yeah, to summarize: I just think he's neat. He deserves all the love that I bet he will never get because this fandom is dying.

If you're still here, if you're seeing this, I love you. I'm sorry that Mappa hurt us. My fic Cadence isn't dead. It is very much alive and I will update as soon as I am able.

I'm glad you're still here.

I'm going to have chapter 4 of my YOI fic up soon, to help fill the void.
