Ronan touched on this last week, but now we're a few days out from a major American holiday back home, which I know doesn't mean much here. To add to that, if I may, most Americans are also raised on a mistold version of history to make our predecessors sound better. I'm not immune to believing in the best of people - some of my friends might tell you I'm a little gullible at times. I think America may have a bit of tarnish here and there, but it's ultimately a good place full of a lot of good people. We accept our mistakes and learn from them, not cover them in paint and pretend they're better than they are. There's still plenty of us that will stick our heads in the sand and pretend otherwise, I know, but they're more and more a minority as time passes and I'll call that a win.
So while I don't celebrate the originations of Thanksgiving, I do think it's a great time to give thanks to those who have enriched your life and share time with people you've developed a bond with. And I see that here, there's people writing on the network about plans or events and it's wonderful to see. I'm glad to be a part of that.

That said, any plans? I've asked James and Torunn to see if they'd like to do something, but I don't want to exclude anyone if we can put together something larger. Alternatively, merging into something else is completely viable. However if you want to have something small and private, please don't feel any obligations to do something else.[ooc | *basically anyone adjacent, from a Marvel timeline, super good friends with Marvel characters, etc, Cap is All Inclusive y'all]
