not gonna lie, sting fucking SLAYED that role.

Especially now that aniwave is dead ;_; good night sweet prince

i learned from appreciating those rare and beautiful versions of "i don't know who hear to this but..." that are unironically wholesome and sincere. somebody someday might see something we wrote and feel better, be encouraged, or grow wiser. knowing how many neurodiverse people come through Lemmy and would click on that greentext because they identify with it... knowing they might explore the comments too? i want those future people to come away better than they were before they approached, even if only in a teeny tiny infinitesimal way!
