User blog comment:Striped.Tiger.1113/Ahh, So This Is How That Feels.../@comment-27950523-20160612225644

My love for EAH is kept secret and isn't shared with anyone outside the fandom. Even so if I told a friend (who doesn't know about EAH but she DOES know of Cali btw) this wouldn't be a reaction I would get, general disinterest most likely but not cynicism. Friends aren't suppose to degrade and drag you for liking what you like. I'm really sorry that happened to you. I can't imagine how terrible that must've felt to have people, no supposed friends, laugh in your face over not only something you like but your creativity as well. :/

And you're right. We'll always be here for you and it pains me you went through that. Just know you have friends here who care about you immensely and quite frankly think your characters are brilliant and just as wonderful as you are, because they are unique to you and no one should be laughing at that.
