Happy Bugaversary

Happy Bugaversary! Even Charley is smiling!

Now time for my sappy speech because I’m sappy:

I’ve been in the voice acted audios fandom for a while now, and I didn’t really know that there was even a community for it, or several.

And then during December of 2024 I did a Hanukkah writing challenge, and I wrote fanfic for a fandom called ‘Saved By A Merfolk’. I honestly didn’t think much would come of it, and it was a spur of the moment thing, I didn’t even think it would even gain much traction. I didn’t see anything for the fandom so I kind of assumed I was alone in my interest. Heck, I wasn’t going to do it, but I decided to replace another fandom in the final moments.

And I’m so glad I did, because I ended up meeting some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met in my entire life. These people, they inspired me, and they inspire me every single day. Through their art, their writing, their ideas, and even their silly little memes.

Had I not changed my plans at the last minute, I would not have met them. But I’m so glad I did. And I’m so grateful for each and every one of you.

And I ended up getting into Gator Boys and it became this whole thing because then I got into Siren’s Son and Nomads and Mage Bunkshelf and Escaped Audios. And I don’t think anything has ever brought me more joy to this very day than thee people and the Bug Army.

And now thanks to these people, I’ve started drawing again. Really drawing. Most people don’t know, but before I started doing all this art, I traced and did that to make my characters, because I thought that I was terrible at drawing even though I’d not tried to draw without tracing for years. And now I have, and I get told now that my art is good and that’s all thanks to these wonderful people, The Bug Army, for getting me out of my hermit shell. Hell, I voice act now! I would’ve never considered this had I not met them!

All things to say, I love each and every single one of you. Happy Bugaversary my dear Bug Army. I love you all so very much. 💗

Thank you to all the bugs! Especially to those who let me draw their bugs in the portrait for today!
