They may not be real, but they're real to me.


Dear Fandoms,

      On behalf of everyone in a fandom, I'd like to say thank you. You've taught us very important lessons we will cherish forever. You brought us into the lives of many people. We have went through what they've gone through, both good and bad. People might say that the characters we've grown to love (sometimes really love) aren't real. So what if they're not real? They're better than most of the real people I know. They've gotten me through tough times better than almost anyone else has.

     Sure, we might get hurt when a character dies, or a ship sinks, or when some other horific thing happens. But we still love fandoms. It doesn't matter if you read or watch or both. If you're in a fandom, you're one of us. Also, I think we should go by "fandomers" instead of fangirls and fanboys. I mean, what about the people who are neither? (Sorry, this has become more for the fandomers than the fandoms.)

     To sum this up, I'd just like to say I am a fandomer, member of Fandoms Unite, and I always will be. If I'm not, (I don't know the future) then I'll make sure my kids are in fandoms (if I have kids). I'm just glad I found my people.

                                          Love,

                                                 Peyton

All my life they let me know
How far I would not go
But inside the beast still grows
Waiting, chewing through the ropes
Who are you to change this world?
Silly boy
No one needs to hear your words
Let it go
Carnivore, carnivore
Won't you come digest me?
Take away everything I am
Bring it to an end

Thanks man, you pretty much said all I wanted to say. I just want to say that I wish furries stopped being shunned.
