This is something I commissioned before the New Year when I was in a bit of a black spot.
I've been in the fandom for a some years now and I've made a number of what I consider friends. That is a rare commodity for me to give. These are people who I would be the 1st to donate to when they had an emergency. People who I stood up for loudly and publicly when the mobs came for them. People who I would make an effort to find and talk to in those rare times when we'd be at the same event. But now...
Now too many of these people won't acknowledge me online. At conventions, when we meet they'll maybe give me a slight nod as they walk by...if even that. But what hurts the most is when I'll be on social media and I'll see pictures or accounts of them having been in my my area, punctuated with things like "It was great to see all my Minnesota friends!"
Well, guess I know where I stack up.
But there's nothing to do but carry on and treasure that handful of true friends who've never cast me aside. They number less than a dozen, treasures every one.

I forget sometimes because I am a derp, but I can guarantee that me and mine would have you at our backs anyday. You're one of the few people I know who wouldn't stab me in it.
Can relate in some ways ... though generally it's my own fault.
Either way, here's an umbrella. ☂️
