I wanna take a minute to talk about ryden. Itâs kind of rare to still be pushing so hard for this ship and, in general, just being involved after years. Iâve noticed that there are still people that hold this ship closely and they still take the time to read fanfics and blog about it. Itâs kind of incredible, really.Â
I think I stopped my big investment with those two in, like, 2013. All I know is it doesnât seem that long, but for me, it was almost too long. I almost feel embarrassed getting back into this ship after this lengthy period of time, but at the same time, it gave/is giving me a great comfort.
It still feels a bit foreign just because my dash has changed. I used to have ryden all over and, after a few years, it just kind of drifted away. I drifted away with it. I still labeled it as one of my top OTPs, but it was just a label. I would see pictures of them two every once and a while and be briefly reminded of how much I loved them together. Like I said, brief. Lackluster. A small smile, reblog, move on.Â
Now, thanks to a good friend of mine, Iâve been falling in love with those two all over again. This ship was my first OTP, and it just brings me that happiness all over again. Iâm not sure if I would call it nostalgia, but I donât have a better word for it.Â
