hi
.
.
its been ~5 years since i made this account, and ~3 since i last opened it. high school hit like a truck, im technically a legal adult in less than a month, and life is catching up fast-- i don't really listen to ajr anymore (*gasp*) (what kind of hermitpadder am i if i don't listen to ajr? /s) (that karma ATUS animatic was everybody's first introduction, right) (right?), and tbh i'm not at all caught up with hermitcraft 10 (it's still a guilty pleasure) (i'm so glad Wels is back) (also iskall wtf??) (that was not on my 2025 bingo card)
.
ik i have a measly 65 followers, but after hopping around, i'm really glad that hermitpad is still going (strong? i'm not sure. i haven't opened discord in a while either). i made some really great friends/mutuals here, and having a lot of people engage in the same silly (/pos) minecraft shenanigans i was into did wonders for younger me.
.
i'm already rambling, but this fandom -ESPECIALLY specifically Hermitpad -(no matter how "cringe" it could be) is really special to me :DD (it being also the community that introduced the lgbt+ communities (guess whos probably demi) (wdym people get celebrity crushes?? for reall??), trigger warnings, and fandom culture/fanfiction in general! (and probably so much more. impromptu lemons as well, oh god) (made all the class readings look like childs play, though).
.
thank you all so much <3

small note, do people still announce things to each other? i don't want to seem pushy, but i also want people to know i'm alive and well (kinda). i probably am still gonna be inactive though

(tw- mentions of scars and injury)
.
(on the scar post, i just recently learned that scars tissue is kept together by an active force, so some degree of constant maintenance is needed to keep the body together. [which is ALSO why scars reopen with really bad scurvy]. i guess the draining magic thing is more viable)

(also i completely forgot how squished text looks after posting, so, lightly edited)
