Follower Feature & Thanks
Well, nobody, especially me, expected to have more than a handful of followers. When I started Anthy, I was hoping at best, 30 followers--SCORE! At worst, maybe 10, but I could keep up with that and I didn’t mind. I was, after all, a new Tumblr RP blogger in the community and fandom of Dragon Age, and everyone has to work through the sense of stranger-danger aka: shyness aka: new mun, who dis?Â
That was in or around November 8th, 2016.Â
It is now the year of Oh-Lawd 2017, the fine assed month of April, and I am sitting on (literally. I am sitting on all of you. Because if cats taught me anything, sitting on people = love) 233 followers.Â
And that’s amazeballs. This white girl is literally can’t even what is who?Â
And so, without further ado:Â
These are the people whom always either RP with me, make me madly cackle with glee, THEIR TAGS SLAY ME, they make me smile like a doofus and are just generally all around amazing human beings:Â
@kaaras-adaar @atonings  @hissrading @theeternalsun @ass--sass--sin , @fulluponcrazy @eromai @duxbellatorum
People who have been following me since November of last year??? and they still are?? And Blessed are they Amidst All the Potatoes:
@brokenbiirds , @sahlintalas , @crowbound , @traitxrteryn , @commanderhopeless , @youriinquisitorialness , @faolcdh , @aithreachas , @elfroot-and-lightning , @wildmageling , @honnleathrose , @silvertonguecunningwit , @damndirtyrat
There are hundreds more of you that, I wanted to mention, but I realized that if I truly wrote a little bit about all of you I would never, ever ever get it written in time. In fact, it would have been a college dissertation and by the time I was finished I would probably need to mention new friends and new followers.Â
I have been blessed in this community. I have seen the occasional anon hate and negativity hit--but let’s be honest--in 15 years of RP (my experience) who doesn’t see it? Yet, I have never been the target of it. And that’s pretty amazing. The amount of respect, caring, random positive messages and wonderful comments to my posts--and others--are what reminds me that there are beautiful people out there behind each and every tumblr URL, and that we’re all here doin’ our best.Â
Honestly, a lot of times, I see Tumblr getting a lot of flack for toxicity as well as other things--but there’s also this side of tumblr, where community actually means something and that people like you are are out here trying their best to get along, write, create and make imaginations come alive.Â
So I am so grateful. For you. For all of you.Â
Happy Thursday, loves. Thank you for sticking around for the last five months. Here’s to 5 more, then 12 more, then more after that! Pat yourself on the back because you are THE BEST!Â
