Day 1- Jonryatrash
Day 1 of my fandom appreciation goes to @jonryatrash my saltwife and the love of my fandom life.
Muse, you are my bestest friend in the Jonrya fandom and honestly one of my closest friends in my personal life. I honestly cannot even cover how much you mean to me with one post, but I’ll try to get some of it down.
When I joined Jonrya chat last year, I was really nervous. I didn’t have any friends in the fandom and I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I was terrified of being in a chat room with people who had been shipping Jonrya longer than me and had fic resumes longer than mine.
You were my very first friend in chat. The very first day that I met you, you encouraged me to write The Inglorious Bastard, and that was my first sign that I was welcome in chat.
You were so warm and accepting of my depraved, disgusting, perverted, smutty self, and you matched it back. I didn’t know what we were doing back then (the good old days before Jon-Snows-D), but I knew that you and I were doing something special. And I was right.
I know that we’ve always been mocked for Jon-Snow’s-D, but it will always hold a special place in my heart, along with yourself. Jon-Snow’s-D wasn’t just about Jon and Arya banging and eggplants (huge part though). It was you and me bonding and starting the road to a really amazing friendship.
Some of the highlights of my time in Jonrya fandom have been in Jon Snow’s D with you. I will forever be grateful to that old chat because it gave me your friendship.
We have had a hell of a ride together since the birth of that chat and I have loved every single minute of it. I cannot thank you enough for everything that you have ever done for me.
Thank you for being such an amazing Jonrya shipper who welcomes everyone with open arms.
Thank you for being such a pillar of this fandom. I really don’t know what we would do without you.
Thank you for being the sole mod of the Jonrya chat. There were so many difficult moments that you had to confront as a mod, and you always did it alone and beautifully.
Thank you for writing some of the greatest Jonrya fics that the fandom has ever seen. Jon and Arya with babies and loads of sex? Yes fucking please.
Thank you for always engaging in fandom, even when you have so much going on in your personal life, you never ever forget us.
Thank you for being hilarious and snarky. You have patented so many iconic things. “Needle was Jon Snow’s dick.” “House Fuckboi.” President of the I hate Rhaegar Fuckboi Targaryen club.
Thank you for being so loyal. I tell you my most deep dark secrets and I know you’ll always guard them. Wow look at me being so extra.
Thank you for dealing with me and my extra self. I know it can be stressful and not an easy feat. I’m sorry for all of those extended periods of times I’ve fallen off the map and left you thinking that I’ve died.
Thank you for being such a beautiful girl. Like god damn, my salt wife is both a Ravenclaw and a knockout? Go me for hitting the jackpot.
Lastly, and most important of all, thank you for being an amazing best friend. I cannot even tell you how much your friendship means to me in a public tumblr post, but there’s a reason why you are my heart.
I love you with all of my heart and never ever forget how loved you are.
