Oh wow, that's great advice! Funny you say that, because I was also shunned from a Nintendo fandom, one of the few I still love very much and consistently write for. The person even stalked me onto different accounts on websites which is why I mentioned the refresh thing and why AO3 is my only social rn. I haven't seen them in a long time though, so I think it's safe to say they've moved on lol
I had some of that toxicity affect me for a bit, to the point I started being really mean towards myself and others. I think stepping back from the internet a bit and taking a slow reentry into it has helped me kids sort myself out. I'm most likely Autistic as well, so that would explain the specific hatred towards me for doing something wrong, even if I meant well. People like you are part of the reason I love being online, you get to see, outside your own family, that you aren't alone. ❤️
Thank you for you kind words, btw! I actually was kind if grumpy this morning because I didn't feel too great, but you really helped pick up my mood! Enjoy your week!
