My icon is NW Forever so it's ironic that I've been considering retiring from the New Warriors fandom.

I've loved this fictional team for twenty-five years (I'm so fucking old) so it's no small decision but I'm just not feeling it anymore. I already left that forum full of diehard male readers assholes who had to nitpick everything I posted. AO3 ( Read more... )

Anxiety attack at a formal full staff meeting this week, haven't had one like that for ages, I had to push the anxiety down so it didn't overwhelm me.
