I thought about posting and I wasn't going to originally, but I think JBDs deserve a farewell from me. Especially because I don't plan on sticking around on the fanclub? I'm a little late to the game, but here goes.
I joined JBDs at a rough point in my life, and what I found there was an enthusiastic community bursting with creativity. I don't know if I ever would have learned to love writing if it weren't for JBDs. My favorite characters originated here. I learned so much as an artist and I learned so much as a friend. I met some of my best friends through JBDs, the people who have supported me through thick and thin and have continued to encourage a love of creative expression and support of each other. I never cared much for adoptable species, but there was something about JBDs... I still can't pinpoint what it was, but I came and I stayed, and when I tried to go anywhere else, I always came back. JBDs were home to me for a long time.
There were good times and bad times, just like anything in life. I remember times that I was so excited that I thought I might burst, and times that I felt completely heartbroken and anxious. In the end, that's all just a recipe for growth. The community ended up being a big part of the end of my childhood, and I met so many great people and watched our imaginations flourish together. It's a little nostalgic to see it all finally end, but in a way it also feels right. The ripples from JBDs in my life will go on forever, really. I owe a lot to these silly fluffy dragons. x3 And I owe a lot to all of the people who have been involved, to the community, through good and bad. You all mean a lot to me, and you always will. Thank you so much for the memories.
