get you a joyfire that is about the emotional vulnerability and the learning to open yourself up to other people even though you're scared of getting hurt and slowly realizing that they have your back and would do anything (including put themselves in uncomfortable positions) for you...
met a woman on an airplane and we were chatting about guitar and music and I told her I'm in a band and she asked me what the band was called and I said "it's called but I'm a cheerleader" and she told me "I remember watching that movie when it came out and I remember that when she cried, she cried so hard she drooled. that was the first time I'd ever seen that in a movie."
and I've been thinking about this interaction ever since and keep telling my friends about it but I don't know how to convey what it made me feel so I just hope that it makes them feel something to know that this woman remembered this one detail of this one scene and it's the first thing she thinks about when she thinks about but I'm a cheerleader, 25 years later.
Just for everyone’s situation awareness, ShadesNinde’s fics will be available on AO3 in the coming months. They’re not active in the fandom anymore but have agreed to move their stuff over from FF.NET so its more accessible to the newer generation of fans.
