I saw your twilight zone hannigram au and it looks amazing. Will I understand it if I have no knowledge whatsoever about the twilight zone? It looks great and I don’t wanna dive in without research and come out all confused, thanks!

Oh you don’t need to know the episodes at all! Most of them I basically steal the basic plot and stick in Hannibal and Will. Or I take the plot and change it around how I like. Each one is a different episode so they’re not connected! I hope you like any of them if you do read! 

I was so intimidated by you when i joined the fandom. You were one of the first fannibals to talk to me and I’ve always been so glad. I know you get discouraged, and sometimes shitty people have affected you. I want you to know that you are worth 10 of them.

I wish I knew who you were so I could hug you! *hugs* I’m glad that we do talk and thank you for being so kind. I’m glad I made the experience better for you in any way. Also I am glad you now know how non-threatening I am. lol. 

I have thought that I am very happy to have found you because you are valuable to the Hannibal fandom and your stories have felt so warm and welcoming, and I hope you will stay in this fandom and not be discouraged by Big Name Fans. They were always there in every single fandom and will continue to be, but it doesn’t mean they are the ones calling the shots. Fandom is for all of us and I like it so much more with you in it.

It’s not even the Big Name Fans that discourage me, at least not here. I often compare my experience to other folks and think if I don’t get the same type of reception that means people don’t want me here at all. I’ve been trying not to do that lately and limiting myself to interacting with folks who I’m comfortable with. And thank you for saying you enjoy my writing. I appreciate that. 

And you’re right, Fandom is for all of us. Just some people get to have HUGE things and others just have good friends and a good time. I’m aiming for that at the very least. Thank you for your message. *hugs*

I see your posts about how sad and lonely you are and I really worry about you. *hugs* I never know what to say or how I could help, but I do worry about you and hope that you feel better. Not in the short term sense because I know that’s not how mental health works, but in the long term sense of slow, but definite positive growth. I want you to be okay is what I’m saying. And I hope you will be, I hope you are.

Oh honey that’s so sweet of you to worry about me. I’m ok, really I am, I just have to stop taking things so seriously and learn to enjoy myself again without thinking too much. And yes that’s a slow growth but I’m really trying this time which will mean less interaction but choosing who I want to interact with instead of hoping people want to interact with me. I sometimes compare my experience too much to other folks and I’m really trying to stop doing that. I am. I’m me and I can’t be like everyone else. 

I really appreciate you caring about me. I really do. *hugs*
