Fandom (and how @davidarchie kinda ruined my night)

Its not as big a deal today, especially when I had some time to think about it. Its just disappointing that we live in a world where its not "odd" or "weird" that many people's first reaction was "omg homphobia", even from a normally sweet kid.

Lolz this is the problem with being a hugely over-invested cray cray stan.
Regardless of his intentions, or even what's in his heart, the words still stand.
I HAVE TOO MANY FEELINGS LOLZ.
