This is exactly the same for me. Dbda resurrected the feral fan in me who used to read fanfic every day and draw, and imagine their favourite characters in every universe possible.
I'm honestly grieving the show.
It was one of the best shows netflix has ever put out, amazing enough to get me to run to resurrect my tumblr after years of not using it to be a part of its fandom.
I've only ever been in 1 fandom in my life before dbda, and genuinely thought I'd never find something that would grip me enough to make me want to engage with its community as much as I did in my previous fandom.
But then, after 6 years, Dead Boy Detectives came along and made me reach for a drawing tablet for the first time in over 2 years. Made me write fics, even though I don't consider myself a writer, and I've never written this many fics this fast. I haven't been this creative in a long time and it's been an indescribable source of joy to me to be able to go back to creating content.
It got me on discord, which always overwhelmed and scared me, but I'm so glad I had given it a chance because I've met so many incredible, funny, talented and supportive people there, and now I can't imagine not talking to them almost every day.
It really was a bright light during a less than ideal time in my life and will still continue to be because I refuse to let it go.
We were given something truly great and can still celebrate it and make and consume fanart, fics, gifs, metas, au ideas, crafts, moodboards etc etc to support each other.
When I was 10 yo, I used to admire young adult who laughed with their friends in shops, who were cool and carefree and independant.
And now, I have friends with whom I feel comfortable enough to laugh heartily even though I know I sound stupid. I live on my own in a new city. I'm about to study what I love the most. I love the way I dress and I look (most of the time).
I have become the person I admired when I was younger... and that feels so good.
Hello,
I'm midas, but you can call me... god (just kidding)
I've been on tumblr for quite a while now but I wasn't really active. And since a new school year is about to begin, I decided to give it a shot, and try to actually post stuffs on here.
I will post mostly about fandom (Mostly Dead Boy Detectives and PJO, I think), movies, books, music and being a student (I study humanities).
So if you want to be moots with me, I am... right here :)))
PS : I'm french.
Reading the newly published books of your favourite childhood series hits different.
What do you mean I grew up faster than the characters? What do you mean I'm older and wiser than them? What do you mean I'll never experience magic and go on silly adventures with my friends?
What do you mean I am not a child anymore?

Day 3: Eternity. I've never made a gif before, but I thought it would be perfect for these two. No matter what might separate them, in the end they will always find each other again. ❤️

Wally came up with this, makes us do it at every reunion.
So I have some news...
We are making a feature film to conclude the Heartstopper screen adaptation, based on Heartstopper Volume 6 and the ‘Nick and Charlie’ novella. We are getting to tell the end of the story!!! I’m deeply relieved and so excited about this new creative venture. I’ve written the script and we’re hard at work already. I know you’ll have a lot of questions, and I’ll be able to talk about it more very soon, but for now let’s CELEBRATE! Heartstopper is getting its ending!!!!!! 🍂
