I appreciate the sentiment but I don’t get all those “we made it to the longest night of the year! the light will start returning soon! it’s all uphill from here & we’re halfway there!” posts because like. Oct-Dec is the easier half of Winter. Jan-Apr is way harder. there’s no big holidays or decorations, everyone is kind of over the whole Cozy Hygge Sweaters & Cocoa vibe so they’re just tired & restless instead, and the whole thing is so drawn out & uneventful that it feels like it lasts 10x longer
one of the most comforting constants on this website is when a long-running show comes to an end and all the people who gaslit themselves to the point of psychosis over a ship that would never be canon go apeshit

i come from the 8tracks generation where you weren’t allowed to just dump three and a half twee indie folk/tswift records into a fanmix and call it done. on 8tracks you had 8+ handpicked songs in rigid chronological order and an accompanying mission statement and thesis defence detailing exactly why each one applied to your derek x stiles coffee shop au AND cover/track-list art hodgepodged from stolen pinterest/tumblr aesthetic photography, and all of this was done under constant threat of death because it was the DMCA wild west and the site was in a constant state of gradual collapse.
