Thank you all so much for the love! I see it and appreciate it❤️ and thank you to everyone who was open minded enough to allow me to play this role 🧡🙆🏾♀️
People have been going out of their way to DM their support against the racism and it’s so beautiful to see! The racists have thankfully had the right sense not to talk shit directly to me so as a result all I get is love!! 🧡thank you😘
99% of people who have @‘d me have been so supportive and wonderful! I really can’t see all that bullshit unless I go looking for it. So thanks to you guys, your love is louder than the stupidity 🧡🧡

I swear to anything: not all the OP fans are garbage I’m so sorry in the name of the manga itself that you see the part of the fandom that doesn’t get shit about the whole OP concept I know we only got a brief screentime of Nojiko but you were fantastic and got me all emotional💙
