🧡 it’s crazy that the rare pair early days was like… crush era. like it’s wild that people can just come into this fandom now and gmg is like. popular. considered forcefed. overdone. and not something they’re scared of admitting to liking in public. like sooo many people were on anon or permalocked… like me included at first lol but like i would make my silly “rec” tweets because the writers wouldn’t have anything out there i could bump.

icl like… i never imagined gmg would get this popular and it’s such a jarring experience being into something so widely enjoyed but like. damn. it’s really nice. i feel spoiled. it genuinely feels really good that like nobody is calling me a community pillar or seeing me as a microinfluencer or being intimidated by me anymore because there’s enough people here now that i no longer matter. like it’s not me and three friends feeding ourselves it’s okay for me not to lock in because there are so many who are. i helped build this city and now i can just live in it and leave the civic service to people with greater mental stability

anyway this reminds me i never finished that rectober thread lol
