I feel like a lot of people have said this and that by the time I say it, it'll have kind of lost its meaning, but...thank you, Fandom. I couldn't ever express that enough, but you were the person to stick up for those who can't find it within themselves to step up like you have just now. As happy as I am that you've come out and said this to us all (and have seemed to have stirred an awakening into our wiki), I am also incredibly sad to see it at the same time. I'm sorry that you've gone through this over the wiki. It breaks my heart, as somebody who has experienced the crushing sadness from this wiki themselves, and I wouldn't have wished that upon anybody. To see that other people have been so affected like you have, it just totally breaks my heart. There's no better way of putting my feelings on it. I know it's a real issue for a lot of people in our community, and while I don't think it's necessarily fair to blame it on one group or another, I really hope it gets fixed. For your sake. For everybody else's sake.

I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you or friendlier to you (not that it was intentional, but I know that it's a lot easier to shy away from putting myself out there and making new friends, which is how I think I've gone about talking to you). I'm so, so sorry for that. I'll be here for you, and everybody else, now. I'm always here for you guys to talk to, rant to, confide in, roleplay with (unless it's a bad time, obviously, but y'all get the point), and so forth. I love you guys. I love you so much and I would give anything to have you be happy and comfortable here. For any role I have played in making any of you feel like you're not welcome here, I'm deeply so sorry for it and I'm hoping that this can be the mark of a better time for all of our friendships. You're all amazing. You're not deserving of the treatment that the wiki or its community members have served you with.

Thanks for stepping up, Fandom. On behalf of the wiki and those who, like me, couldn't do it for themselves, I want to thank you and I hope that this can cause some change from everybody here, including myself who is obviously at least some part of the problem. Whether it's the Administration or not, Bureaucrats or not, old or new, and so forth, hopefully we can make that change to make everybody a lot more comfortable around here. Reminder that you can always message me if you need it (any of you). Love you all. <3
