hi erika!Β
to say the vibes have been off lately would be an understatement, wouldnβt it? because there has been a lot of negativity, too much for a place that is supposed to be about finding an outlet for your creativity and people to share your interests.
i know it has been difficult, draining to be around here and face all the discourse cankering the fandom.Β
because of all this negativity, i believe it is important to try and balance it out with some kindness. so here i am, doing a little check-up on you <3
so first, how are you, really?
everything you feel regarding what is happening is valid and you deserve to feel happy and safe around here. so please, make sure you take the time you need from posting, from sharing fics, even just from being on the platform. i want you to know itβs okay and i support whatever you decide, for whatever reason.
i also want you to know that you have your place here, as much as the rest of us. youβre loved and wanted and i can assure you the fandom is a far better place with you in it.
i hope youβre taking care of yourself outside of tumblr as well. please remember to stay hydrated and to eat something π«ΆπΌ
now i would like you to sit back and enjoy the perfect, quiet night in with javi <3
do not hesitate to reach out if you need to talk, iβm here for you! sending you all my love and so many hugs π«

Oh Anna this was incredible and felt like the warmest hug ever thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely message out and send it my way
I know itβs been hard for all of us and my heart aches knowing how badly itβs impacted so many dear friends and other creators and tbh Iβve been considered taking a step back from writing too /:
But then I think about where I was a year ago posting my first Pedro fic and still feeling so out of the fandom
And now, to be here connected with so many beautiful people, just being here getting to talk to you - was the reminder I needed to know I belong here. That we all belong here even on the dark days we feel so lost and everything feels so sticky and awful
Exactly like what you said π₯Ί
My heart still goes out to everyone whoβs deciding to take a step away and I support them a million percent because I truly do get it and completely understand
Everyoneβs mental health and safety comes first always π€
Maybe itβs all the dang sailor moon I watched as a kid that argued how love always wins but I have to believe true pure connection between us is what will help fill the dark spaces and slowly let us heal in the ways we need too and this message just felt like the most beautiful confirmation of that π©·
So my dear Anna thank you, for this and for so much moreβ¦ YOU make this fandom so special and Iβm so eternally grateful for you and appreciate you beyond words π
Please take care and I hope you get some rest too and I hope something extra special and magical happens to you, Iβm sending you all my love πβ¨
And also omg the Javi P mood board oh wow π₯Ί itβs so cozy and warm and makes me miss our favorite DEA agent so much ππ
