into the end we go

[threeplusfire]

I think what I really enjoy the most about my Minecraft server community is that I finally, finally, finally feeling like I have the brothers I've missed. It sounds weird to say, but that's how it feels. We're companions - we fight dragons and mine stuff and build giant night clubs out of netherbrick and glowstone and have industrial music dance parties on the internet and play stupid games and call each other names and laugh. I'm probably not describing it well. But I absolutely love it, whatever it is. It's a good crowd.

(We did actually have a dance party, after a dragon killing adventure in the End. Raze plugged his music directly into our channel to broadcast and aside from a few blips caused by lag, it was amazing. We did celebratory shots, and I actually danced in the living room with the sound on the speakers. My calves are going to hate me in the morning, but I feel so damned good.)

This post makes me so happy.

Yay! It has been such an interesting discovery - I've had gaming community friends before but this is different. I think because these guys have only known me as a guy, they know I'm trans and they don't care.

YUP. In big bold capital letters.

The "they don't care" makes all the difference.

Right now, happiness in one's own skin and feeling a part of a community are fleeting ghosts for me, personally, and thus it makes me very happy when others find such.
