Rave-bbit - Rave

What a year this week has been.

Everyone pick up your government-assigned fursona, grab your two colors then combine it with this random animal picker. Tell us what you get and no rerolls, I don't make the rules.

Man, I love scrolling on AO3 and finding a book with like... 400 words max, 1 chapter, get a wall of tags. Like an absolute bucket load of them just dumbed out on the table for someone to play a weird version of Scrabble with, and when you go reading through them you find the most absurd tag in there! Like "Rignle is fixing the spongus, as a treat." So you just sit there with the most... Wtf face ever because there's like no other context! I guess Ringle can fix the Spongus! I dunno!

online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

hey. don't cry. I went to Mad At You island and none of your friends were there :)

IDK who needs to hear this but (I certainly did) : A chapter is not required to be 2000-4000 words in length (or whatever 'reasonable' amount it is in your head.) A chapter ends where you feel comfortable ending it. You make your own rules!
