>>3726542I too, have struggled and had repressed my affection for other men, I was only beginning to accept myself and explore how it really was to be gay when Promare was released. Making an hour long drive I went to watch it, and I was honestly lovestruck when I had heard Lio's voice. Seeing fanart of him or both him and galo still brings me joy, and I attempt to save/archive every photo that makes me smile, and seeing them is very validating to who I am.
tl;dr: I'm an idiot who gets sappy and validated by people who do not exist.
