Oh god...I just...
Oh it all came flooding back, and I can't stop crying. All the happy and sad moments, all the twists and turns and characters, the moments it made me really *feel* something. God, I wish I'd been a part of this, but I couldn't find my camera cord and so I couldn't upload it.
Dearheart, this was beautiful. As I said, it made me cry. And laugh. And instantly add it to my favorites. It said everything.
Thank you for doing this. People forget, I think, just how stories impact our lives. They aren't just words or make believe. They are things that teach us, that make us feel, that change our perspective and make us think. To quote Stephen King: "Fairy tales don't tell us that dragons are real; fairy tales tell us that dragons can be defeated."
People look at anime, at video games, at cartoons and young adult novels and dismiss them without giving it a chance, because of the form of media it comes in. Good stories can't be defined by genre, and shouldn't be, because good stories are part of what makes us who we are. Its why we pass down family tales, and create children's fables. Because when you take away the magic and alchemy you have humans that are living and fighting, loving, and even dying, like people do every day. You have people living, and a story that is very real. One that shouldn't be forgotten.
Again, Dearheart, thank you.
And I think that is one of the most awesome cameos ever. How did that happen?
