Well happy 4th anniversary YOI, i only found out through timeline.
You have a....unique place in my heart i guess i should say. I didn& #39;t watch the entire series week to week, I skipped out on a few eps and not until around ep 6 did I start watching it as it aired.

I did feel a rush of excitement and happiness seeing all the official art every 2 days and new merch and went crazy buying up everything I could.
YOI pulled me out of an artistic rut, it made me happy drawing again, and so I was eager to make friends through art.

Sadly though, it didn& #39;t work out like that. I made a couple friends but I could immediately tell it wasn& #39;t the kinds of relationships I would see other people share with each other online.
YOI had a problem with creating TOO MANY zines which were just popularity contests for the creatives. I got more rejections than I did acceptances, and even when I made my own zine, my mod stole the show and pushed me out, it was /their/ zine now.
Other than the zine problem, YOI had a big problem with top/bottom discourse of which I was sucked into. Not everyone enjoyed how I shipped and therefore, I got sent A Lot of hate and accusations so did the people around me.
I think I spent 80% of my time arguing with people who sent me hate because of who& #39;s dick was going in who& #39;s ass.
I& #39;m disabled and after months of fighting that took its toll on me and I& #39;m sure played a hand in me getting a stroke+coma in 2018. If you don& #39;t know that story, yeah that happened.
I was already sick but I& #39;m sure constantly fighting didn& #39;t help improve my health either.

And all this is only 5% of the shit I went through LOL
After that, and once I "recovered" I slowly started distancing myself from the fandom. I still drew it a little but soon Sarazanmai aired and it was over for me, hopped into a new, better fandom and made tons of actual friends who I love.
FKBUL actually gives me the same sort of rush I felt in early YOI fandom and it makes me happy. So I& #39;m ready to just push bad times aside and make new, better, happier memories in the new fandoms I choose to be in.
I& #39;ll at least have the experience now to watch out for when something bad is going to happen.
So uh...happy anni yoi??? I& #39;ll never forget you at least
