#weachievedsomething

My favourite comic book series is ending tonight. I've said a lot about how important it's been to me already, but I want to say a few things anyway, because it honestly helped me with a lot of my struggles and I don't know where I'd be today without it. I'll keep it short. Basically, I got into Transformers during a time where I was so frustrated with myself that I didn't even know why I existed in the first place, I was just kinda there, didn't know what to do with myself & I was sure I'd just die one day without having ever accomplished anything. I didn't expect much from Transformers comics, and got a heartbreaking story about a bunch of oddballs who didn't know what to do with themselves either, their relationships, goals and pursuit of finding ANYTHING, and it just resonated a lot stronger than I could've anticipated. Watching these REALLY relatable robots with all these doubts struggle, die, but also succeed in their search for their place in life, made me think that this person that I am and dislike so much isn't gonna be me forever if I try, and that maybe, I can be worth something too.

It made me wanna draw comics again, it made me realize that you can make any story deeply interesting if you put your heart into it, and that you can genuinely help someone with what you do - because it certainly helped me a lot, and I want to learn to do the same. The biggest joy in all of this is that I met @larrydraws, my girlfriend whom I love more than I could ever put into words, something I would not trade for anything in the world, and something that, as she said in her own thread, might've never happened had it not been for TF. I made so many friends, met so many unique and funny people, and got to be part of this welcoming, warm fandom. It's bittersweet watching the Lost Light and her crew end their journey, it feels like we've all traveled and grew alongside them, but I'm glad we got to see all of it. I also want to say that this is one of the most welcoming and open-hearted comics I've ever read, #6 is my favourite issue, Rung is the most painfully relatable character ever, and this is my favourite quote that struck me hard the first time and feels the most appropriate now:

After graduating high school, I discover MTMTE after hearing about it on tumblr. I check it out, and I fall in love.

During that time, I was still depressed, but I kept going because I still had so many issues left to read.

One year later, I’m 18 years old, my depression gets worse and worse to the point where I was planning on taking my own life. But I keep going because a new issue was coming out on Wednesday and I needed to know what happened next.

Fast forward to now, I’m 19 years old, I’m on medication and considering therapy, I still struggle but am doing better compared to last year. I’m still here and breathing because the last issue is coming out tomorrow.

And I’m still going to live to see the Bumblebee movie, and the next episode of Cyberverse, and what’s next to come for the franchise.

MTMTE/Lost Light saved my life, and while my only big contribution to the fandom was funny posts, I’m glad to be a part of it.

I know I’ve “criticized” (I wouldn’t exactly consider my rambling a critic, let alone a truly constructive one) James Roberts a lot. I know people were all “dude, chill out” when I read Rung was Primus (you made self-insert a god, that’s not fair, JRo), but for all the things I thought as ‘wrong’ (Nautica forgetting Skids, man. I get it, it was never romantic, but forgetting their friendship? That was harsh and it hurt), I could never truly and completely stop reading this wild ride. I know the story must have hit millions of fans much more, having touched so openly and unabashedly about topics people still consider taboo these days... but I, a simpler fellow with just lots of issues... I just wanna say thank you for the story. Thank you because, though I laughed, I cried, I rambled, and boi, SO LOUD in the apartment I shared with my friend... I had fun, I felt less alone and more inspired to do whatever the heck I wanted with my stories (they might never see the light still, but that’s my choice. It has always been my choice and that’s the greatest thing of all). Thank you for all the craziness, for all the ships, for all the emotions you put me through made me feel. Thank you for the times I read the story to my friend, who has zero English skills, thank you for the nights we stayed talked about possible theories and stuff when we should be asleep for Uni next day, 8am sharp. Thank you... thank you for sharing this crazy story with us.

I still can’t believe you made MechPreg canon though, what the actual heck? But, like I said, your story, and I’m glad you got to write the things you wanted, even if I think it’s a terrible, terrible thing.

... I’m gonna miss this, I really am.

Oh my god, I’m like, so sad it over, but it not over but it is!!

Oh god, when I saw thought two Rung look-alikes it made me really sad, and that they forgot Rung! After writing his name in a goddam planet asking them to not forget him, they fucking forget him. But then again that the joke right, no one remembers the therapist.  He just a face in the crowd. 

But got did this comic book make me cry, I just want to say I been reading Lost light when I started college, I was just going throw a break up, feeling alone and sad.

I began to RP on an oc blog because I thought it might be fun, heard from a friend I should read online who told me I should read mtmte I read it and fell in love with Rung! After that, I was hook, and could stop reading it! 

Then I made my Rung blog and meet so many wonderful friends who I love to RP with and make me feel so happy, you, MTMTE/Lost light, got me to throw my first years of college and I only this year and then next year to go before I finished college in 2020!!

Also, 526 of you are following me which I so grateful for!! But in the end, if I never read MTMTE, I would never have gotten to me all you wonderful people who put a smile on my face, that welcome me into this community with open arm and I just want to take the moment to thank you, guys! 

Thank you for following me and thank you for being with me on this amazing adventure that I hope to keep having with you guys.

my favorite story is ending. i’ve always had favorite stories and i’ll have new favorites in the future, but more than meets the eye/lost light is extremely special. there’s a reason i have tried to shove it at any person who’s known me for longer than two seconds. actually there’s so many reasons. i dont know if i could write out every reason without missing something.
