2018 notes.
everyone: 2018 has been an absolutely insane ride, and honestly i don't really care to make this post into a chance to talk about me and my personal journey bc i talk about myself plenty. but i do want to say thank you, to everyone who has endured me every single step of the way. thank you to everyone who was kind to me, and thank you to everyone who was unkind for the sake of teaching me something because i get it, i understand, and i appreciate the chance to grow. the new year is coming and i'm excited, but honestly 2018 was pretty good to me. i had plenty of people who were good to me, and i'm very, very grateful. thank you, and happy new year.
aki: so the truth is that i was going to leave your note for like one of the later ones bc i'm sure i'll have plenty to say - but i have the touken ranbu playlist on shuffle and tokenai mahou just came on and i was like "if this isn't a sign to start with aki i don't know what is". so aki, i hate you. but the lucky thing is that i definitely don't hate you as much as i love you, as hard as i try. every year i'm so grateful for you, but this year i'm especially grateful because we found out that we turn into meme goblins when the sun sets and yet that has not bothered us into trying to impose distance but we've actually just gotten worse as time went on. apparently we don't care about keeping the universe from imploding and i cannot say that i am super surprised about this. but after the years and years of memes, i know for a fact that i can also call you an irreplaceable friend that i can share just about everything with. you're talented at just about everything that you do, whether it's writing or translating or cosplaying or just doing whatever the fuck you want to do. the only thing you're bad at is making a sensible number of pancakes, and honestly that's not too bad even tho i make fun of you endlessly for it. just thinking about you makes me smile, and i treasure having you in my life. thank you so much for everything and the world will end in 2019 when you, me, and francy are gathered in one place, but i'm sure it'll be great right up to that moment. and then it'll all just go to hell.
al: my god al i'm so happy that we got to reconnect this year sdlkfjsdf we don't really chat directly as much these days, probably bc i'm just not on plurk as much, but i need you to know that i deeply appreciate you as a person and as a player. it was so much fun to share a game with you in grimm for the first time in like a fucking decade i think, and in general i'm always happy to keep up with your adventures and whatnot in your rl. you've made changes this year as far as i can remember, and i hope that they've all worked out for the best for you. i think you deserve nothing but the best in the world, because you give nothing but your best to the world, and i'm grateful to have you in my life again. happy 2019!!
alex: you know we don't share a game anymore but i'm still so, so glad that i get to keep you on my plurk. when it comes to people who have worked hard for their dream and then gotten to attain it, i always think of you, because you apply yourself in everything that you do and reap the rewards from it. i'm so grateful for our rec cr to bring us together and i think fondly about all the shitposts that we accomplished during that time. i think that a bad luck train has caught you rl-wise lately last i read, but i also believe with unerring confidence that you will work past it, and the universe will reward you for your patience soon. i hope 2019 brings a lot of wonder and good experiences to you, and you keep killing it out there because it's what you're good at ♥
ame: ame, you are, without question, one of the strongest people that i've ever met and you are only getting stronger every single day. i know that things have been Happening So Much and i won't pretend to know what you're going through, but i know that you're getting through it one step at a time, and that's amazing. you are amazing and i will never tolerate anyone saying otherwise. hearing the steps that you've taken toward taking better care of yourself, and being kinder to yourself and more honest with others? fucking amazing. like absolutely fantastic. you have brought nothing but warmth and support in my life, and i can't imagine that i can do even a fraction for you what you've done for me, but i hope you know that i'm always in your corner and willing to try. i love you and i believe in you and i hope that 2019 will pick up considerably from where 2018 has left you. ♥
amy: AMY IT WAS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN AT SAKURACON THIS YEAR even though it took me... another half a year.... to add you on twitter.... wow. i'm crying i'm still embarrassed about that and i hope that you'll forgive me. regardless i just want to say that i'm so, so happy that we've stayed friends ever since we met in that one random plurk to just talk about dnw and tenka sldjkfsd. you're super awesome and skilled at cosplay, and just so much fun to meet up and chat with whether it's in a hotel lobby or you know, properly at a dinner. i hope that your 2018 went well and i hope that your 2019 can only get better!!! fingers crossed and i hope that our paths will cross again soonnnn
ara: ARA, IT'S BEEN SUCH A LOVELY YEAR WITH YOU. i hope you know that sometimes when we're all just hanging out in LA, we talk about you, and just mention how much we love you and we're really happy that we know you sdlfkjsdf. you're the type of person that just inspires warm, positive feelings whenever you come up in conversation and i don't know if you're aware of that - so i'm going to keep telling you! it's been wonderful to share both a long-term game experience with you but also your first murdergame. i love the way that you play your characters, but also the earnestness that you tackle everything you do with. it's going to be so much fucking fun to go to sakuracon aaaalskdjf I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU NEXT YEAR AND JUST LOVE YOU FOREVER ♥ happy new year!!
ari: one of my favorite things this year has honestly just been watching you trip and fall into a bunch of canons that i was already into and just crack up in laughter but also encouragement sdlkfjsdf. i'll say the same thing to ray but honestly it's. so funny. ari i legit feel so blessed to have been able to get to know you from rec, and then stay in touch with you after that. i love talking to you about anything whether it's canons or cosplay or make-up or anything under the sun, because you just make it so easy. i know that things have been hard lately, but you've been persevering through it all like a damn champ. i'll keep my fingers crossed and hope that things with your health improve, and in general that 2019 treats you better, because it's what you've earned from all the good vibes you put out into the world. thank you for making my 2018 wonderful.
ax: honestly ax i appreciate that sometimes i'll just get a random meme or video from you in the middle of the night which i don't really understand, but find endlessly entertaining regardless. i haven't been on plurk all that much in recent months but i appreciate all the years that we've gotten to share games together, and also all the random chats that we've shared about other things since that time. it was wonderful to meet you the other month (??? right??? oh my god the passage of time fails to make sense to me idk if it was in december or not) even if you just witnessed me losing my damn mind about volleyball. thanks so much for being a steadfast friend and i hope that you have an absolutely amaaaaazing 2019!!
bae (kosy): MY BAE, MY KOSY, MY LOVE!!!!!!! i'm crying, i hope you know that no matter what i'll always just have the most unflinching amount of adoration for you. you're one of the irreplaceable friends in my life that i'm glad that i've managed to keep in touch with through the years, even though we've both got terrible attention spans and are prone to getting lost doing other things instead. your happiness means everything to me, and as long as you're having the time of your life, then i'm so unfathomably happy. i hope 2018 has been wonderful to you and brought you a lot of smiles and laughter, because that's what you always brings to me. please extend my warmest wishes to you and everyone important in your life, and i hope that 2019 will be both kind and magical!
becks: becks i think a lot about how we met in haven, and we didn't actually like. play all that much together in haven?? or maybe we did but it's been so long that i almost like. barely remember? but then after that we played together in recolle and it was so goddamn fun? but i still think it's absolutely hysterical that for a span of a solid couple of years there, we still stayed friends even though we like. never really talked about rp lMFAOSDFLK and i think that's the kind of friendship that i love to have with you, where we barely do any actual rp for long stretches of time but i never question for even a second how happy i am to know you. you're a meme-y force of nature and a gift to everyone that you meet. it's awesome just how much your gag tags and jokes can influence an entire atmosphere, but i've seen it in action, and i'm so grateful for it. i'm so grateful for you and the way that you bring so much joy just by being yourself. happy new year, i hope it's fantastic!!
bella: honestly bella watching you grow and figure out what to do to make yourself happy and how to make yourself happy has been a real blessing over the year. i'm so happy that it seems like you're moving forward with a lot of things that you want to do, whether it's trying out new hobbies like nail painting or getting your job or doing fic commissions or your translations. you work so hard at everything that you try your hand at that it just makes my heart so full. you're a gift to every fandom that you grace because you bring not only more translations with you but also so much good writing and fantastic memes LMFAODSFLKJ. even if we don't talk all the time i appreciate every chiaki that you send my way and so many tsukasa things still make me think of you. i'm also very happy to have some company in dream!ing hell ♥ i hope that your 2019 is warm and wonderful and only brings you even greater amounts of joy
blair: my god it's been over a year since we've known each other and i only feel the need to apologize for everything that i'm sure i've put you through in our friendship - but also thank you for sticking by me. i was just thinking about how in 2016, i spent a bulk of the year looking for you because i was so curious about the izumi on bakerstreet, and now i know exactly who you are, and i feel very grateful to know you each day. it makes me happy to have someone who can play the grumpy to my happy, whether it's chiaizu or hifudoor minakasu sldkfjsdf i'm kidding. but in general, i'm very happy to know you as a person, and feel that our relationship has only grown as we have, and that's a very lucky thing to be able to experience. you're someone that i treasure having in my life, and i don't think i tell you often enough how much i appreciate you, and i do only hope to get better about that. not to mention i'm suuuuper excited to be able to send my gift package to you in 2019!!! aaa, i think it'll be a good year for us, don't you? thank you for being my friend, blair, and i can't wait to be able to only spend more time with you in 2019.
boba: boba i love you so much and i fucking watched the grooming episode of Dogs today and tRIED SO HARD TO FIGURE OUT WHICH ONE WAS YOU. I REALLY DID. I WAS LIKE BOBA SAID THAT SHE'S HERE IN THEORY BUT WHICH ONE. please understand that the bobahunt will not end because i want to one day meet you and meme with you in person because you are just all around one of my favorite people lMFAO. for one thanks a thousand fucking times for apping sakichi for me in recolle because i will never begin to say how much that meant to me, and how much fun it was to be your castmate even if it was only just for a short while. you as a person make me smile because i have no idea how you go through your everyday life except 'easily'. i think that you are so chill about everything and sensible and you roll with the punches and it's absolutely amazing. your way of life is one that i admire and i don't know if i tell you this often enough so i'm telling you now!! thank you so much for being my friend over the years and sticking with me and i can only look forward to more time that we have with each other ♥
britt: BRITT MY HUNGRIEST LOVE SDLKFJSDF honestly i'm so happy for the time that we've gotten to have together. i think often about the fact that grimm came into being bc i pitched the idea to you literally right before sakuracon, we dragged in ty, and then everything happened so fast. one of the best things that happened to me this year wouldn't have happened if i didn't get to share that moment with you - not to mention all the other things that we've done together. sakuracon was amazing, being able to thread with you was amazing, and every single curry meal or hangout that we've had since then. thank you for bringing amazing ladybug to our friends and letting us all experience that, but in general thank you for being you. you, as a person, are so soft and loving (while at the same time being murderous? my god, how do you do that) and we always poke fun at how cute you are, and how you always say you're happy to be in LA, but honestly everyone is just as sincerely happy to see you. you bring a level head to so many situations where i can't, and i don't know if i could ever thank you enough for that. you're an absolutely amazing friend who i'm lucky to know, and i'm endlessly glad that this year has only brought all of us that much closer.
coco: COCO IT WAS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AT SAKURACON THIS YEAR it's always a lot of fun to hang out with you, and i'm really happy to see how you've grown and really developed into your new skills this year. the way that you constantly strive to improve yourself is honestly really amazing, and it's super neat to see it manifest in your art, and in your writing, and how you always work so hard to make sure that other people know that you appreciate them. you're a wonderful person that i'm endlessly grateful to know, and i'm excited for everything that this coming year has in store for you. tabling at cons?? my god you're going to do amazing. you're really coming into yourself and i hope you know how admirable i think that is, and how excited i am for your future. happy new year, i hope you have an absolutely amazing one!
danielle: danielle i feel like i got so much closer to you this year and i'm so happy about it sdlkjfsd. britt always only sung your praises whenever she talked about you, but it was so nice to meet you and hang out with you lately, and of course i can't say thank you enough for volunteering to jump onto the grimm ship with us because i know for a fact that the game wouldn't have run as well without you. npcing with you such a wild experience of us trying to dance around each other but also match lore, i'm crying sdlkfjsdf. but i wouldn't have undertaken the journey with anyone else for my first time modding a murdergame. you have such a sweet and sincere personality, and you have so much kindness in your heart to share, and i absolutely love that about you. also you're so delightfully sassy at times that it makes me laugh so fucking hard sdlfkjsdf. truly that is the duality of woman. i hope that in 2019 we can only grow closer and you will destroy the lives of that many more people. your creativity is peerless and i am so excited to play with you again soon.
dearest: every fucking year, it's always yours. and you know that i'm working on writing this and i'm losing my mind.
what if i just gave up here bc i'm really mad that we're still posting at approx. the same time even though i was so much closer for so long sdlkfjsdf OOF ANYWAY,,
dearest, i love you so much and you know this. it's another fucking year that we've been together, and i'm scared at this point to count how many years it's been. honestly i'm just laughing thinking about our conversations today and how many times we went "yeah i agree" and "yeah exactly" to each other because at this point we really do just manage to hit every single note whenever we talk to each other. i've mentioned it to you in the recent past, how lucky i am to have found you at a time when we were both so open to growing, and growing together, and letting our friendship grow in a healthy way as a result. that's something that i don't think i'll ever be able to thank you enough for, because i think that our friendship is something special. thank you for every show that we've watched this past year, and all the ones we'll try our hardest to finish in the coming year because we'll at least fucking try. maybe fma finally. but thank you for all the laughs, thank you for all the cr, thank you for the tags, thank you for the vent sessions, and thank you for being you, and always so reliably being you when i need you most. you are so important to me, and happy new year. can't wait to see what disasters await us next but i'm not scared - we'll just slam into whatever it is together.
eli: eli you're so sweet...... i absolutely have more to say here but i just want to start with the fact that you are so sweet and i love you so much LMFAO it was absolutely wonderful to get a chance to meet you irl this year even though that also meant that you endured watching me losing my goddamn fucking mind over kondou-san sdlkfjdsf i'm crying. but you're one of the kindest and friendliest people that i've gotten to meet through rp and i love everything about you and your sincere love for muscials sdlfkjds. but when you talk to people you have a sincere desire to get to know them, and i think that's just such a soft and thoughtful thing. i know that i'm a busy piece of shit that doesn't always answer right away but every time you take a second to send me a message i promise that my heart absolutely melts and i think about how much i appreciate you. i hope that 2019 brings you wonderful things, and if you come to LA then i'll get to cry on you that much more often. which. clearly. is ideal right
francy: oh my god i just got to this note and i feel like i'm about to die LMFSODFLSKDJF. LIKE. HM. give me a second i'm going to put on EOEOA like that'll help. we'll find out if it does. franch i love you so much LMFSODFLKFD. but this is a case with aki where i love you only more than i hate you. i wish i could articulate how happy i am that we've been talking more over the past few months, ever since you innocently mentioned that you need more canons with boys in them and now look at where you are now,, LMFAOSDFLKJ. i hope that you regret it - but i don't. i don't because i'm so happy that i get to talk to you about like. well. everything. takasen obviously, as we have been plagued for the past month, but also mikatsuru and hypmic and non-fandom things like shit that happens rl or whatever else is happening. you are absolutely hilarious as a person, and i appreciate you more than i can even begin to say. thank you for all the laughter and smiles that have felt so easy over the past few months. thank you for being such an amazing friend. thank you for just being you, and making it so easy to shitpost and feel like i can rely on you whenever. you're so dear to me, and i can't wait to fight you irl at sakuracon where one of us will surely die. 2019 will be a disaster for plenty of reasons, but i'm excited to go through it all with you at my side because at some point i guess we got handcuffed together over the past few weeks and that's just how life is now
freshy: you know the thing is that we haven't shared a game with each other for like. three years? like honest to god three years, and yet whenever i think of you, i smile. whenever i think about the times that we get to talk, my heart feels so much lighter. when it comes to friends that i feel lucky to have since we actually don't have all that much tying us together anymore besides memories, you're definitely on the list. we sort of passingly have the same fandoms and yet we're both so distracted with other things we don't talk a lot - but when we do, it's like nothing's ever changed. freshy you work so hard at everything you do in life and i admire you for it constantly. also your nails always look amazing and you are so gorgeous LMFSDOFLKJ THESE AREN'T SUPER VITALLY IMPORTANT BUT IDK HOW OFTEN YOU GET TOLD SO I HAVE TO REMIND YOU WHENEVER I GET THE CHANCE. you're a wonderful person all around and i'm so lucky to be able to know you. we'll eventually rp together again one day, but regardless i am so glad that we're friends. i hope your 2019 is majestic.
gigi: my god i hate you sdlkfjsdf I WAS SO CLOSE TO JUST PUTTING A GIF OR A MEME HERE. I WON'T DO IT, BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT I THOUGHT ABOUT IT. and it would be that one meme with the guys pointing at a portrait like "i'm getting real tired of this guy" but with your twitter icon over the portrait. anyway now that you have that visual image, i need you to know that i love you. i love you and i'm constantly amazed and impressed by you, and i am so, so happy to be your friend. i know that we've seen a lot of shit this year, and you have endured so much, but it's over and you are ending 2018 at the top of the fucking heap, gigi. you are absolutely crushed literally everything in your path, and you will continue doing that in the coming year. i believe that without a single doubt. it's insane to me that we're getting this much closer to our late night boba runs where we talk shit about each other in person, and it'll be a great time. but in general i want to say that i'm so glad that 2018 has brought us that much closer together even if we were close to begin with LMFAO and i appreciate you, and i adore you, and i can't wait to see you.
gore: i feel like my year would be woefully incomplete if i didn't take the time to thank you for being you. the funny thing is that i don't think we got to rp with each other much this year, mostly bc i did bow out in the latter half, but despite that, i still feel just as close to you as i ever have. and i think that says a lot about our friendship, and i am always grateful for when you appear in my plurks to spare a pun, or to talk about a movie that we were both excited for, or to offer some encouragement when i'm suffering even if it's just an emote. you're a very kind person, gore, and a very wonderful person, and i will always want only your happiness. i hope that we get to talking and playing together more in 2019 if the stars align, but even if we don't, i'm happy to know that i get to call you a friend and i'll have you in my life regardless. thank you for that, and i hope that your 2019 is absolutely amazing.
hana: MY SWEET DARLING HANA..... WHENEVER I THINK OF YOU MY HEART HONESTLY GOES SO SOFT LMFAOSDFLKJ i know that it's the hilarious residual feeling from rec, but also you have always been nothing but the sweetest, kindest person and i'm so happy that we're still friends even though we don't currently share a game together. MAYBE IN THE FUTURE that would make me really happy.... but for the time being, i love you a whole bunch and i just wanted to make sure that i took the time to tell you that. it cracks me up to see how hard and fast you fell into gbf, and even though most of my understanding is on the equivalent of that "are you winning, son?" meme, seeing you happy is all that i could ever really ask for in life. thank you for being as stellar as you are, and i hope that your 2019 is beautiful and blessed!!
hayley: hayley you're another one of my friends who just has the softest presence and i'm so happy about it sdlkfjsf even though we're both spotty on plurk i'm so happy that i was able to find you on twitter and i got so excited to just be able to catch all your adventures but also your BEAUTIFUL ART MY GOD SLDFJKSDF. we don't chat directly much but knowing you and being able to see you on twitter has distinctly improved my qualify of life this 2018 and i absolutely have to say thank you for that, because i'm endlessly grateful for it. thank you so much and i hope that you're 2019 is amazing!!
jae: can you believe it was 2018 when i got to play in a game with jae again!! i honestly can't say enough how happy i am that you decided to join us for grimm, because that was such a blessing for so many reasons. i got to talk to you again more regularly, even if it was just in chat, and it made me happy to be able to share the joy of knowing you with so many of my other friends. i can't say enough how happy i am to have known you for as long as i have, and how lucky it feels to be able to have you in my life. it was also just as wonderful to get to see you again at fanime this year, and to be able to chill with you in person. i think you're an incredibly impressive person, jae, because you work harder than just about anyone else that i know, and sometimes it's not always acknowledged. but i hope that at least when we get to talk, and when you get to spend time with the rest of us who love you online, you know just how treasured you are. i hope that the 2019 brings a lot of kindness to you, whether it's from yourself or from the people around you, and i'm so glad that our friendship will just continue to stretch on forever.
january: my god jan, i love you LMFSODFLKSJDF. i'm pretty sure you know this, one way or another. it's crazy to me that we've known each other for so long, and i'm sure that at this point i'm starting to sound like a broken record, but it is really important to me that you know that no matter how many years pass, i'm really glad that i get to be able to call you a friend. you're a staple in my life that i am unbelievably grateful for, and i'm sure that i would've grown to be a very different person if i didn't have you in my life for so long. so for the fact that you've stuck by with me for so long, and for the years to come if i don't somehow manage to scare you off - thank you for those too. it's made me really happy to see you grow and flourish over the years, even though you're just a year ahead of me sdlfjsdf but seeing you friend an RP style that works for you, and get involved in murdergames, and i was even able to murder with you this time?? and i get to murder with you again soon!! i can't wait. both in RP and out of it, you've always been a dearly important friend to me, and i'm so glad that i'm lucky enough to consistently have you in my life. i love you more than i can even begin to say, and i hope that your 2019 is absolutely magical.
kami: KAMI OUR BELOVED AND INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT JOCK FRIEND!!!! a;ksldjfsdf i know that this year has had a lot of ups and downs for you, but i also hope that you know that more than anything else, i'm so fucking proud of you for moving forward and being able to take the steps to fix your life into what you want to make it into. you are such a buoyant, wonderful, happy person and you have so much energy and expend so much of that same energy to make others happy. i'm so glad that you're using some of that energy for yourself now, and to finding the things that bring you joy. your volleyball love in particular stands out and i cry bc it's the most kamicore thing in the world sldfjsdf. i'm so glad that we've gotten to watch a few episodes together and that 2019 means that we'll have an entire new season to watch!!! THAT'S SO EXCITING LMFAOSDFKLJ. but in general i'm so happy that i've gotten to spend as much time with you as i have, and i will of course just be spending more time with you in the years to come. you are an irreplaceable friend that i love so fucking much, and i can't wait to tackle 2019 head on with you.
kari: kari i met you for like. a few hours at sakuracon but they were such a wonderful time?? lMFAO FOR ONE I'M SO IMPRESSED WITH YOUR PATIENCE OF DEALING WITH ME AND AKI IN THE SAME PLACE FOR AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME IN THE FIRST PLACE. but i'm so glad that i've gotten to know you on plurk and get the chance to experience more of your absolutely wonderful positive energy. you bring so much light into a world that is sometimes so cruel, and people like you are so important to have in the world. i respect you for being so open about talking about your transition, and the steps that you're taking, and even if i don't always chime in directly, i hope you know that i support you so fucking much and i hope that 2019 will bring endless happiness and good news your way. have a wonderful new year!!
kia: i think this note might actually make the most emotional. i think a lot about how the circumstances in which we came back together might not have been the greatest, but i selfishly can't say thank you enough if it means that i got to return to a friendship that honestly means the world to me. even in just the little things where even if we don't talk on disco all the time, i'm happy that i can just chat you up about anything that comes up, and it's just as easy as ever. you are one of the sweetest, kindest, most patient people that i've known in my life and i hope you know that i will always wish for your every happiness, whatever that looks like. but being able to see it all a little bit closer now, to be able to talk to you again about what fandoms are making you happy, or what new pupper is making you smile, makes all the difference. it was so fun to play with you again over the summer, and i can't wait for the next chance we get to share a game and play together again. thank you so much for all the fun we've had, and all the fun i'm sure we'll have in the future, and in general thank you for coming back into my life because i'm so happy to have you here. have a wonderful 2019, kia!! i can't wait to spend it with you, so long as you'll have me
kori: omg kori it's so weird for me to think that just a few months ago i didn't know you because i'm just so used to talking to you and sharing fandoms with you that you're just a constant presence in my dms and my timeline now sldkjfsdf. but i'm so, so glad that i got the chance to know you out of the blue and talk to you more and how our friendship has progressed so easily. you're so easy to talk to about anything and everything, and also just shitpost or go drinking or watch things with??? i guess what i'm trying to say is that you are a wonderful person who is a delight in every experience that i'm lucky enough to get to share with you. it was wonderful to meet you in person and i cry because i really hope that one day we'll get to see each other again. I'M SURE THAT IT'LL HAPPEN, BUT SOONER RATHER THAN LATER,, thank you for going on my big hifudo journey with me but also every chiakana that pops up on my timeline absolutely makes me think of you sdkfjdfl. i hope that your 2019 is a bunch of fun and i'm so glad that i get to go into it with you as a friend ♥
kyuu: places hands on your shoulders. kyuu i love you and i am constantly in awe of you. LMFAOSDFLKJ. sometimes i still hang out and think about how you said that you signed up for 3 big bangs and i'm like wow i don't know how kyuu functions as a person but i am so full of admiration and respect. but i just want to say that being able to talk shop with you when it came to writing - and we need to revive that gruopchat with marie - was honestly so helpful and encouraging and helped kick me out of some rough spots where i wasn't writing even when i definitely should've been. you are such an encouraging and wonderful person, and i'm just so grateful to know you and be able to call you my friend. and of course i can't wait to fucking murder the shit out of each other in a few months, which should be an absolutely amazing time. 2019 will be so wonderful, and i hope to take some of your energy with me running into it!!
lisa: honestly lisa you are like a fucking meme of a human being that i love with my entire heart sdlkfjsdlkfj LIKE EVERY TIME I THINK OF SOMETHING HYSTERICAL, I'LL SOMETIMES JUST THINK OF YOU? NEO YOKIO DOES IT A LOT BUT ALSO RANDOMLY i'm always like 'ah, this made me laugh, i hope that lisa's seen it' or 'this made me smile and it reminds me of lisa'. i love the energy and passion that you have for the things that you love and how you'll share how much you love those things with other people. you are the comics guru on my timeline as far as i'm concerned and it's why i was so fucking hype for you to see spider-verse, but in general i love reading your opinions on topics whether it's design-related stuff or danny phantom sldfkj. you are someone that i'm so, so glad that recolle brought into my life and i'm endlessly grateful for it. i do hope that one of these days we can hang irl because that sounds like it would be amazing, and i think i remember agreeing to walking down the streets of LA with some kind of meme bootyshorts and i will absolutely make good on that promise. but until then, i hope your 2019 is fucking amazing because you're fucking amazing.
luna: so we just talked about this the other day, in terms of being able to talk yourself into self-confidence, and new hopes for the coming year, but i just wanted to reiterate that i'm literally always going to be in your corner, because i think that you're amazing. i think that you're a talented writer, and a talented cosplayer, and you have a lot of skill in what you put your mind to. i know that it can be hard to convince yourself into positive self-talk, but i hope that in the coming year that you make progress in being able to be the luna that you want to be. as is, i think you're amazing, but like i told you, if you want to improve, then i think that you'll definitely be able to do it. if you ever want someone to talk to about any of this, i hope that you know i'm just a PP or a DM away. you're fantastic, and wonderful, and you will only grow to be more fantastic and wonderful and that's something that i believe with unwavering faith. here's to a productive 2019!!
marie: can you believe that now you've known me for a year and you've survived because i can't, and i feel like that there's probably a long list of things that i need to apologize for lMSODFLKSJDF. but honestly marie i'm so grateful for how i've gotten to know you more over the course of this year, and all the screaming that came with it. having you in grimm was an absolute delight and please know that you have single-handedly made me a giant sanji stan and every time i see him i also naturally just think of you. i'm so grateful for all the cr that we've gotten to have and all the cr i'm sure that we'll have in the future. i know that this year has been a rollercoaster for you and you've been doing some thinking about what the future holds, but i know that no matter what, you're going to be absolutely amazing. you are one fo the most driven, kindest, most patient, and skilled people that i've ever met and i can't wait to see how you'll take your life and make the world a better place a day at a time. thanks for being my friend and i can't wait to see what 2019 brings you!!
mira: honestly mira i'm just really glad that you're the kind of friend where regardless of whether we share a game together, or if we're currently in the same fandoms, i can still talk to you about anything even if it's just thotty memes or the cr that we had and both cherished. you are honestly such an admirable person who is super skilled at her craft, and i can't say enough how cool i think it is that you apply yourself to everything that you do. you work so hard, and you are so kind to everyone that you meet, even if you then proceed to terrorize us with cursed cr and a shitton of memes - but that's just the fun of the ride. i hope that we get to play together again in 2019 tho, and i can't wait to see what it has in store for our friendship aside from even more swords. have an absolutely amazing new year!!
nat: i'm sure that when i look back on 2018, i won't really remember much at all, but i will remember those three days where we did nothing but watch spider-verse and talk about spider-verse and woke up at 7 am to go see a spider-verse panel, because that was absolutely a highlight of my entire year and will probably be a highlight for my fucking marvel-loving career. and i'm really, really glad that i got to spend it with you. we talked about a lot of things on that sidewalk outside of gallery nucleus, but i hope that you know that with my entire heart, i am always going to be rooting for your success and happiness, and i love you so goddamn much LMFAO. in a lot of ways i think we're similar, but also for every single way that we're different, i want you to succeed and really tap into your passions and chase after what matters to you. i want more than anything else for you to figure out a schedule and a life that works for you, and i know that you will, and i am unfathomably excited for it. we've done a bunch of things over the course fo this year and gotten into so many fandoms LMFAO and i'm so glad that we share so many, because it's so fun to talk to you about literally anything and everything. we'll do plenty of that in 2019 too, i'm sure. happy new year, nat!! can't wait to break in my new eyes with you too.
ori: i can't fucking believe that i just saw you yesterday and i already miss hanging out with you sdlfkjsf ORI, YOU ARE A PERSON THAT I LOVE WITH MY WHOLE HEART BECAUSE I THINK ABOUT THE TIMES WE SPEND IN THE CAR A LOT. for one, you don't get mad that i get so distracted by talking about something that i miss a turn, but i mean in the sense that i'm really happy that we can talk about something for a spell, admit that neither of us understand kagepro or kingdom hearts or whatever it is, and then we can lapse into a comfortable silence. because i think that i actually have problems with silence because i'm an anxious fool, but i don't feel that way with you. i cherish all the times that we have together, even if it's quiet, and even if we're watching neo yokio. you are someone that i think is very thoughtful, and very wonderful, and very skilled and hard-working at everything you try your hand at. i love how intensely you consume canons, or how much you love to rp (and how much everyone loves to rp with you), and how hard you work at your studies and your job too. you, as a person, are absolutely awe-inspiring in every single way and i consider myself lucky to be able to call you a friend. hopefully we get to hang out soon, and i hope your 2019 is amazing! i hope it brings you closer to us too.
pip: i feel like i say this every year, but i think it's because it's important to remember every single year - your generosity in letting us hang out in your apartment (even before nat moved in) every weekend is unparalleled, and you have helped create something absolutely amazing by giving us just a space to all hang out. and i think that's just you as a person - you have a lot of generosity and you will share what brings you excitement, and what matters to you, with your friends because you want everyone to be able to share in this exciting thing all together. it's a very welcoming, inclusive personality that makes you so easy to love and appreciate. you really slam into everything in life with that same energy and excitement, and it's something that i find admirable. there aren't really words available for how much i appreciate you, but i'm going to keep trying anyway LMFAO. it's been really fun to get into different canons with you and watch you die over all sorts of different things, whether it's bsd or swords or whatever else. i can't wait for 2019 to come and to see how many other ways you will just expire on the spot. but most of all i just want to thank you for the friendship, and the reassurance and kindness that you extend to me daily, and how lucky i feel to be able to rely on you - and hope you can rely on me just the same. can't wait to see you in 2019!!
pixi: i won't lie that sometimes i think about the sakuracon group as if we were one of the sword teams. and i think that out of all of us, you would probably carry the singular braincell that would keep us from fucking up literally everything. sldkfjsdf you endured so much that weekend and i think about it a lot, i'm crying. but also in general, i'm so so so glad that i got to meet you in person this year!!!! that was so fucking exciting sldjkfsdf and i'm so glad that we got to freak out about the bsd movie together too oh my god. it's been a wild ride of bsd and swords this year, i'm glad you got to close it out with srs and your yasu towel and generally having a wonderful time because it's what you deserve. also, for the record, i think you are fucking writing goals and i aspire to be able to consistently work at a project as lovingly as you have. HERE'S TO NEXT YEAR PIXI i can't wait to see you again and once again rely on you to be the singular braincell. happy new year!!
princess (lulu): MY BEAUTIFUL LOVELY PRINCESS ♥♥ i think that our relationship will always be encompassed by the fact that one day you asked why no one would call you princess unless they were an anime boy and then i showed up and i was like yes i am here sdlkfjsdf. you always have nothing but the nicest words to say to me i absolutely have to return the favor?? it cracks me up because we met in a wild flurry earlier this year, and then we both slipped right out of the game we met in, and yet i feel just as close to you as i ever did. you are a wonderful person who works so hard to spread cheer and make people feel good about themselves, and i hope that you receive the same treatment because it's honestly what you deserve? you make me so happy, and i hope that i can try to bring even a fraction of the same happiness to you. best wishes to you and your family, and also your beloved dog, in this coming 2019 ♥♥
ray: I TOLD ARI THIS TOO but one of my favorite things is really just watching the both of you slip and tumble into a bunch of canons that i was already into and then being like 'nice i'm glad that we're all roasting in the same hellpit together' sdlfkjsdf. YOUR LOVE FOR KUMOUS, THEN FOR SWORDS, THEN FOR HYPMIC ALL MADE ME REALLY HAPPY whenever you wander into dream!ing hell don't worry, i'll be here waiting for you sdlfkjsdf. BUT IN GENERAL I'M REALLY GLAD THAT I'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW YOU BETTER OVER THE COURSE OF THIS YEAR, and i hope you know that i'm rooting for you too. i know that this last half of the year was rough, but i truly believe that things will look up for you in just a little bit of time. i know you're applying yourself and working hard and i will be sending a shitton of good fortune and good luck your way, and hope that 2019 is easier on you than 2018 has been. you're amazing, ray, and you'll reap all the rewards of your hard work in time, i'm sure. thank you for still being a bright spot for others, and i hope you have a fantastic new year!
rose: honestly rose i've had you forever and for that i'm really grateful sdlkfjsdf. i think we met?? in cerealia?? and it's amazing that we've still remained friends through that whole time, but i feel like with the sheer amount of swords things that we've watched together, or the random history-related things that we talk about, our relationship has been rekindled a lot. and for that i'm really happy. i love every single damn thirsty thing that you say in rabbit even if sometimes it just makes me want to die cries sdljkfsdf. but i want to say thank you for the years of friendship and that i'm glad that we've found a new thing to bond over too. you are a delight to have and i hope that your 2019 brings wonderful things your way!
sib: sibbu i love you so much.... honestly it cracks me up because we share like. uno fandom. singular fandom and that's because you convinced me in a moment of weakness to buy code: realize, and i think that's hysterical. but despite that, i honestly cherish having you as a friend so much, and i feel so lucky to know you and still get the chance to talk to you about anything and everything under the sun. i do have to take a second to say that i appreciate and love your art of course, but i also think that you are one of the funniest people that i know - i think about half of the grimm caps that i took had to have involved you in some way, and that says a lot because there were so many damn funny people in grimm. i was so excited to share that murdergame experience with you and i'm excited to share more in the future, because you are always a delight in every single way. sakuracon is also going to be a blast and i can't wait to hang out with you irl, it'll be so beautiful. thank you so much for being a fantastic friend, and just being your super cool self, and i hope that you have an awesome new year!!
sisi: HELLO SISI HOPE THAT YOU'RE HAVING AN ABSOLUTELY FUCKING AMAZING TIME IN JAPAN!!!! honestly this entire vacation for you is so well deserved, given everything that's happened in your life lately whether it's at work or otherwise. i'm so glad that you're taking this time for yourself, because it's more than well-deserved? it's really funny to me that your message and sunny's are so close together because sometimes when i sit back and think about people on my timeline that i think are absolutely fucking phenomenal, amazing people who are making a difference in the world, i think of you both. i think of your amazing lessons and all the work that you do for the kids in your school, and the passion that you have for teaching and your job and i think that you are going to bring the entire world to its feet. you are an absolutely stunning person and a great teacher that makes a difference in so many lives, and i want to say thank you for that. thank you for that, and thank you for being my friend and a talented clothing designer and just being fantastic all around. i hope your 2019 has started off beautifully and will continue beautifully ♥
sunny: honestly sunny i was just telling someone the other day that you're one of the nicest people that i've met in dwrp sldkfjsdf in terms of people that i've met in games, but that i talk to a lot outside of the rp context and just chat with about life, i think i can say with sincerity that you are one of the kindest and fluffiest and most encouraging people that i've met. it's really important to me that i express to you how much that means to me, and how much i'm sure that means to other people, because you will so willingly engage with anyone and everyone about positive things in your life and how you believe in them. and having someone like you work in education just gives me so much fucking hope. you've done so great in 2018 and you're going to keep doing great in 2019, and i can't wait to see what other amazing things you'll do.
teej: my god where do i begin sdflkjsdfsdf if 2017 was the year that we got closer, then 2018 was absolutely the year that we lost our damn minds together and i think that's honestly such a gift LMFAOSDLFKJ. i really don't know where i'd be at this point in my life without you, because i've just gotten so used to having you in my life at every turn, in every fandom, and every few weekends where we feel like watching something. it's also part of the reason why i think i'm waiting so eagerly for you to fall into dream!ing for real bc i'm like 'lmfao what is this current place that i'm at in a fandom without teej, this is bizarre'. thank you for enduring me every single step of the way, even though i'm sure that i turned into a meme goblin at times, and no thanks for all the times that you've only encouraged the meme goblinery. i think our friendship is lowkey defined by me running around seattle just shouting your name until i eventually found you tbh. i'm really happy that we got to meet and watch the bsd movie twice in one weekend together and you were otherwise witness and participant to the rest of the memery that weekend. in general i'm just really glad that we've gotten to go through so many things together, and i look forward to finding new ways to absolutely ruin you in 2019. thank you for the impact that you've made on my life and being a wonderful, calming, uplifting influence all this time. happy new year again - can't wait for genjis stage to kill us both in cold blood
tori: tori you are a damn shitpost tornado of a human being but i love you, against all reason and sense. honestly whenever i talk to people about you, it's always in the sense that you remind me of a really excited puppy, and who doesn't love puppies?? honestly tori, i think that you're a phenomena person who deals with a lot of things that the average person on the internet doesn't have to think twice about, and despite all that, you carry a lightness and infectious energy to you that says plenty about your own strength. on top of that, you're incredibly dedicated and stubborn about what's important to you, which is a fantastic trait to have. and you are so smart, and i can't wait to see what amazing things you'll do in the coming year. i know you said that there's a lot lined up for you, and true as that may be, my faith in you doesn't waver even a fraction. you're going to absolutely mind-blowing things, and you will be great. i'm excited for what your future looks like, and please know that i'm cheering you on every single step of the way. have an excellent 2019!
tsubo: there is honestly no one in my life that i think spares time for as much random, encouraging positivity and support as you do. and i think that's its own type of magic. i think being able to randomly go into people's plurks and talk about how much you appreciate them and how much you believe in them, and doing that consistently to everyone that you consider a friend is honestly amazing. it is nothing short of awe-inspiring and i would absolutely support a new world order where you take control and preside over us all. i think that you are, in short, one of the best people that i know. and i don't know if i personally have the words to really say how much you mean to me, and how much it means to me in general to know that people like you are out there making the world a better place. you are kind, wonderful, warm, and so important to me and so many others. and i hope you know that going into 2019, and that it blesses you the way that you bless all of us ♥
ty: oh my sweet love, 2018 has been a rollercoaster for you. i know that we've been talking about that for a long while, but i just want to say - it's almost over. you are almost through with these difficult times, and for that, i am so unbelievably proud of you. you work so fucking hard through everything that happens to you, and everything that happens around you, and despite it all you're able to retain your good humor and still spare enough time to share your love for your friends. there have been countless times where i know for a fact that you have been under an insane amount of pressure but still offer time to others to be able to take care of them as a friend, and that's a really amazing thing that i don't think gets acknowledged enough. you are a wonderful person with so much to give the world, with so much creativity that i'm constantly shocked by what you're capable of coming up with, and an endless amount of drive and passion. you are a recipe for success and i truly believe that your breakthrough is coming soon. 2019 is going to be a great time for shedding everything that's been weighing on you, and conquering the world as i know for a fact that you were destined to do. you are a dear friend to me, which i hope that you know, and i really don't know where i'd be in my life at this moment without you. so i want to say thank you for that, and thank you for your boundless patience even if you also doxx me like no other. happy new year, fams, can't wait to see you soon
yaywon: please know that there is not a week that goes by that aki and i don't talk about how amazing you are to watch anything with. i think a lot about "so key man is a sword?" and "who's brent? is he a sword?" because those moments when watching the sword musicals made my entire fucking life, yaywon. you are so funny without even trying and i hope you know that when we roast you, it's done entirely out of love because you are such a fucking gift. i'm lucky to know you, and lucky that you are so damn hilarious, but also so patient that you won't kill me and aki on sight despite how often we troll you. or maybe you will, and that is entirely valid. we deserve it. but honestly yaywon, there's no one that i would rather talk and cry about rengoku with, and i'm so happy whenever you get a chance to watch swords with us because it's always a delight. even though we don't share any games, i'm so glad that we've gotten to stay close over the years, and i'm thankful for being able to know you and our bond lasting through it all. i hope 2019 brings you absolutely wonderful things, and i can't wait to spend more time with you in the coming year too.
bento: i think a lot about how i wouldn't have gotten as deeply ingrained into twitter if i hadn't read your fic, and i hadn't met you. i think a lot about how when we first met you told me that i should get better at lying which was the most gentaro thing in the world lsdkjfsdf but honestly i just think a lot about how lucky i am to have met you, and how happy i am to have you in my life even though we've been dragged kicking and screaming into different gay hells for the time being. everything i know about The First Gays (gilkidu) is from you and i love them with my whole heart by association. your writing is always top notch of course, and i adore your art too, but you as a person always makes me crack up with your shitposts and you inspire me with your big heart. i love you a ton, bento, and i'm so so happy that i get to enter the new year with you as a friend.
jennifer: the thing is that we literally just started talking this month but i consider you honestly irreplaceable in my book already. for one, i want to say thank you because you put up with all my dream!ing questions bc i, a fool, cannot read moon runes but you're always patient enough to share whatever information i'm looking for. your translations are a big part of why i got dragged into dream!ing as quickly as i did - your senri character story translation was one of the first things a friend sent me actually - and i was just telling my other friends "you know how sometimes some people are so soft that you can never feel a negative emotion when you're talking to them", you're one of those friends for me sdljf. thank you for this past month and i look forward to more hiyori stanning and your swords opinions and ofc takasen in 2019!!
lark: lark-sensei..... you have so much wise, thoughtful energy that i'm excited for the chance to gush about you even if it makes me feel especially hifumi -> jakurai about it sdlfjsdf LMFAO. for one, i know that we haven't even known each other very long and only met through our mutual friends and appreciation for samajaku, but you have a type of energy that makes people feel very relaxed and welcome (jakurai-style,,). i have a feeling that i'll be looking back on your twitter thread about what you've learned about writing over the past year, because also your writing is #goals as far as i'm concerned. i've told you about how much i love your way with words, and how it feels like every phrase is selected with love and care. you've been a delight to talk to and i hope that your 2019 is wonderful and peaceful and brings you everything that you could ever want and more.
lee: so it was a small eternity ago, but i remember you drawing fanart for my leokasa fic and i know that i said thank you then, but i want you to know that it stuck with me and i think back on that moment often sldkjfsdf it was the first time anyone ever voluntarily did art for my writing and i was so close to cryinglkdf i feel like i don't say thank you for all the support you give me as a writer, and how much it means to me. i love your art and you're so talented in your own craft that it's just such a high compliment that i melt on the spot. thank you for your help getting into dream!ing too bc i've slowly started to drag in the rest of my friends and it basically opened up a whole new world to me. you're a wonderful person and i just want to say thank you for all that you do, even if you might not think much of it. i hope 2019 is super wonderful to you ♥♥
mandy: mandy!!! we do not talk super often but i just wanted to say thank you for adding spots of light to my 2018. i curled up into a little ball when i first saw you talking about my fic, but honestly i'm so glad that it helped us get to know each other and start talking a little bit more. your tweets always make me smile and i love how you always chat like you're taking your tl on a little adventure through your day. it makes me hope that every single one of your days is filled with light and relaxation because it's what you deserve. i hope that we get to talk more in 2019, but regardless i'm very happy to get to be your friend ♥
meg: meg where do i even start sdklfjsdf for one, thank you for death respect day which was actually one of my favorite self-made fandom events ever sldfkjsdf. i love that cap you shared of us just slamming challenges down at each other and screaming and then just Deciding we were going to do this thing and we absolutely need more of that in 2019. but also in general, thank you so much for being a wonderful listening ear and stunning beta and more than anything, a fast friend that i have so much love in my heart for. you've been so good to me and just talking to you can make me feel so much fondness and affection in my heart. i love all of the samajaku screaming we do and the gendice and the hifudo and having you in my life has honestly made it so much better. i didn't even realize what i was missing, but i can say with sincerity that i wouldn't trade it for anything. happy new year to you!! i love you so much
mike: waaaaoooo, happy new year mike!! i'm so happy that you get to spend it with vii sdlfkjsdf that's super exciting and i got so excited just watching both of your countdowns go down and down ;u; we don't always have a lot to chat about but i consider you one of the people that i'm really glad that i got to stay in touch with even after i took a break from twitter and took a step back from enstars. as always, your translations are a gift to everyone who gets to read them though, and your love for leokasa keeps the shipper flame in my heart alive. i know that the mental health struggle is real, but i need you to know that i think you're so strong and do amazing every single day. so many happy wishes to you and vii and i hope your visit together is wonderful ♥ thanks for remaining my friend and i will always be rooting for you.
nii: tbh i feel like i mostly just slam into you whenever i see anything riouhifu-related, but i wanted to say that in general i'm really, really happy that we've gotten to meet over the past few months. you work so hard as an artist and a content creator, and i want to say thank you for all the good fucking food of course, but also you bring nothing but positivity and kindness to my tl. you're always a level head who tries to encourage respect in the fandom and i'm so grateful for you as a person. you deserve to have an absolutely wonderful 2019 and i hope that it brings you a lot of joy and mtc goodness. ♥♥
pearl: well i tweeted this the other day and i was like hmmm i'll just give it a while and see if she sees it but you didn't and i laughedslkjfsldf ANYWAY PEARL, WE DON'T CHAT SUPER OFTEN but whenever i make a writing tweet and you just take a minute to offer some kindness or encouragement my way, it always makes me smile. i really appreciate it more than i can even really begin to say sdlkfsdf. it feels like i constantly have someone in my corner which i appreciate more than i can say. ;u; so thank you very much, and i hope that 2019 brings you as my joy as you bring me. have a good one!!
remi: MY SWEETEST REMI SLKDFJSDKFLJ CRIES. ughugh my heart is twisting because you're one of the people that i'm really, really glad that i've gotten to stay in touch with over the years. when i was in enstars, you were absolutely indispensable when it came to getting me to produce any work at all, and motivate me to keep going with my fic. even now, i have to say that you were a phenomenal beta and i miss working and collabing with you so much since we've wandered to different fandoms. but even with that, i am so, so happy that 2018 has been good to you and you get to eat soooo much delicious food and have been having a better time at your job. it's what you deserve!! you work so hard and everything you create is so adorable that i want to cry. thank you so much for sticking with me and still being my friend after this time ♥♥ you make me smile and i hope your 2019 is absolutely beautiful.
rin: aaaaaa rin ♥♥ i'm so happy that you're still in my life even though i did pull a tiny little disappear act from twitter sldkjfsf. you're a friend that i'm happy to hold onto, and can't say thank you for enough because i loved every time that we got to talk over the year about whichever fandom you were getting into - and how in some parts we ended up in the same place. you're always the sweetest and most thoughtful when it comes to sharing the goodness that comes into your life, and your generosity is so appreciated. talking to you always makes me smile and i hope that our friendship can only grow and flourish into 2019 ♥
shii: sldfjsdf it was so nice to see you in personal and clean out a bunch of sushi plates with you this year, shii!!! i'm crying, i remember first meeting you in enstars forever ago and you sure did keep strong through the fandom. it was so much fun to watch you spiral into hypmic and just spend like an hour shrieking about hifudo and ryuseitai with you at the sushi place LMFSDOFLKJ. that was a really enjoyable time in little tokyo and we should do it again sometime! the energy that you bring to your fandom spaces always makes me smile and every person that's your friend is super lucky to be able to meet you and have you in their lives. thanks so much for everything and i hope you have a wonderful new year!! ♥♥
tama: MY SWEET DARLING BEAUTIFUL LOVELY ADORABLE DOPPO ♥♥ laughs tamaaaaaa ♥♥ you'll probably kill me for this but i'm so excited over the chance of being able to sing your praises again. i think it's at least been a few months now that we've known each other and i still adore you just as much as the first day. thank you for putting up with my scatter-brained and busy and easily distracted ass as it takes me forever to get to messages, but i'm always so happy whenever i get the chance to talk to you about anything. you've been a joy to have in my life, whether we're talking about hypmic or miles or anything else under the sun. it makes me smile whenever i hear from you or just see you enjoying yourself on my tl with deltarune or whatever other foray you've jumped into. i'm so so so excited to see you soon, and just wanted to say thank you for blessing my life with not only your beautiful art but your beautiful self. you're so dear to me and i'm so happy that i've gotten a chance to know you. 2019 will be amazing and it's because i'll get to enter it with you
vii: aaaaa happy new year vii i'm so glad you got to welcome it in mike's arms skljdfsdf. THE TWO OF YOU ARE SO CUTE i just want to keep saying that because even when i wasn't really on fandom twitter and instead just on my priv, i kept thinking about how nice it was to see the two of you together and how more than anything else, the two of you really help me believe that love can be kept alive. ♥♥ you are always a delight to have around on my tls because you keep me up to date on all the hypmic memes,,,, but also for the record i absolutely love how much love and work you pour into your kingdom au and seeing how you've touched so many other lives with it. it's such an expansive, collaborative, detailed work that i'm in awe of as a fellow creator. you're absolutely fantastic and i hope that 2019 will bring you more (leo voice) inspiration and kindness!!
winny: aaaaa winny we haven't talked that much but i just want to say that every time i see a tweet from you on my tl, it's always filled with such uplifting and kind energy that it makes me smile. you're such a delightful person who brings nothing but goodness and sweetness wherever you go and it's people like you that make the world go round. thank you so much for just fearlessly being yourself and spreading that brand of happiness with you. i hope that we get to know each other better in the new year. happy 2019!!
zara: CRIES LOUDLY ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVE ZARA AT ANY GIVEN MOMENTLKJSDFLKSJ WHAT DO I EVEN PUT HERE........ honestly you can ask francy and teej how many times i'll say at random about how much i love you, or how cute you are, just because i see something that you put on my tl and i'm so happy to have any part of you in my day. zara, you're one of the kindest, sweetest, softest people that i've ever met in my life and i honestly cannot be upset whenever i talk to you. i think of you often and that time i got to call you a few months back. you are so, so dear to my heart, and you have so much love to give in the world that i wanna cry constantly. please understand how much i unflinchingly and unreservedly love you, because i do. you are a friend that i'm so happy that i've gotten the chance to hold onto over the years, and one that i hope to have for a long time to come. thank you and i can't wait to see what 2019 will bring us ♥
the plorks.
aki: so the truth is that i was going to leave your note for like one of the later ones bc i'm sure i'll have plenty to say - but i have the touken ranbu playlist on shuffle and tokenai mahou just came on and i was like "if this isn't a sign to start with aki i don't know what is". so aki, i hate you. but the lucky thing is that i definitely don't hate you as much as i love you, as hard as i try. every year i'm so grateful for you, but this year i'm especially grateful because we found out that we turn into meme goblins when the sun sets and yet that has not bothered us into trying to impose distance but we've actually just gotten worse as time went on. apparently we don't care about keeping the universe from imploding and i cannot say that i am super surprised about this. but after the years and years of memes, i know for a fact that i can also call you an irreplaceable friend that i can share just about everything with. you're talented at just about everything that you do, whether it's writing or translating or cosplaying or just doing whatever the fuck you want to do. the only thing you're bad at is making a sensible number of pancakes, and honestly that's not too bad even tho i make fun of you endlessly for it. just thinking about you makes me smile, and i treasure having you in my life. thank you so much for everything and the world will end in 2019 when you, me, and francy are gathered in one place, but i'm sure it'll be great right up to that moment. and then it'll all just go to hell.
al: my god al i'm so happy that we got to reconnect this year sdlkfjsdf we don't really chat directly as much these days, probably bc i'm just not on plurk as much, but i need you to know that i deeply appreciate you as a person and as a player. it was so much fun to share a game with you in grimm for the first time in like a fucking decade i think, and in general i'm always happy to keep up with your adventures and whatnot in your rl. you've made changes this year as far as i can remember, and i hope that they've all worked out for the best for you. i think you deserve nothing but the best in the world, because you give nothing but your best to the world, and i'm grateful to have you in my life again. happy 2019!!
alex: you know we don't share a game anymore but i'm still so, so glad that i get to keep you on my plurk. when it comes to people who have worked hard for their dream and then gotten to attain it, i always think of you, because you apply yourself in everything that you do and reap the rewards from it. i'm so grateful for our rec cr to bring us together and i think fondly about all the shitposts that we accomplished during that time. i think that a bad luck train has caught you rl-wise lately last i read, but i also believe with unerring confidence that you will work past it, and the universe will reward you for your patience soon. i hope 2019 brings a lot of wonder and good experiences to you, and you keep killing it out there because it's what you're good at ♥
ame: ame, you are, without question, one of the strongest people that i've ever met and you are only getting stronger every single day. i know that things have been Happening So Much and i won't pretend to know what you're going through, but i know that you're getting through it one step at a time, and that's amazing. you are amazing and i will never tolerate anyone saying otherwise. hearing the steps that you've taken toward taking better care of yourself, and being kinder to yourself and more honest with others? fucking amazing. like absolutely fantastic. you have brought nothing but warmth and support in my life, and i can't imagine that i can do even a fraction for you what you've done for me, but i hope you know that i'm always in your corner and willing to try. i love you and i believe in you and i hope that 2019 will pick up considerably from where 2018 has left you. ♥
amy: AMY IT WAS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN AT SAKURACON THIS YEAR even though it took me... another half a year.... to add you on twitter.... wow. i'm crying i'm still embarrassed about that and i hope that you'll forgive me. regardless i just want to say that i'm so, so happy that we've stayed friends ever since we met in that one random plurk to just talk about dnw and tenka sldjkfsd. you're super awesome and skilled at cosplay, and just so much fun to meet up and chat with whether it's in a hotel lobby or you know, properly at a dinner. i hope that your 2018 went well and i hope that your 2019 can only get better!!! fingers crossed and i hope that our paths will cross again soonnnn
ara: ARA, IT'S BEEN SUCH A LOVELY YEAR WITH YOU. i hope you know that sometimes when we're all just hanging out in LA, we talk about you, and just mention how much we love you and we're really happy that we know you sdlfkjsdf. you're the type of person that just inspires warm, positive feelings whenever you come up in conversation and i don't know if you're aware of that - so i'm going to keep telling you! it's been wonderful to share both a long-term game experience with you but also your first murdergame. i love the way that you play your characters, but also the earnestness that you tackle everything you do with. it's going to be so much fucking fun to go to sakuracon aaaalskdjf I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU NEXT YEAR AND JUST LOVE YOU FOREVER ♥ happy new year!!
ari: one of my favorite things this year has honestly just been watching you trip and fall into a bunch of canons that i was already into and just crack up in laughter but also encouragement sdlkfjsdf. i'll say the same thing to ray but honestly it's. so funny. ari i legit feel so blessed to have been able to get to know you from rec, and then stay in touch with you after that. i love talking to you about anything whether it's canons or cosplay or make-up or anything under the sun, because you just make it so easy. i know that things have been hard lately, but you've been persevering through it all like a damn champ. i'll keep my fingers crossed and hope that things with your health improve, and in general that 2019 treats you better, because it's what you've earned from all the good vibes you put out into the world. thank you for making my 2018 wonderful.
ax: honestly ax i appreciate that sometimes i'll just get a random meme or video from you in the middle of the night which i don't really understand, but find endlessly entertaining regardless. i haven't been on plurk all that much in recent months but i appreciate all the years that we've gotten to share games together, and also all the random chats that we've shared about other things since that time. it was wonderful to meet you the other month (??? right??? oh my god the passage of time fails to make sense to me idk if it was in december or not) even if you just witnessed me losing my damn mind about volleyball. thanks so much for being a steadfast friend and i hope that you have an absolutely amaaaaazing 2019!!
bae (kosy): MY BAE, MY KOSY, MY LOVE!!!!!!! i'm crying, i hope you know that no matter what i'll always just have the most unflinching amount of adoration for you. you're one of the irreplaceable friends in my life that i'm glad that i've managed to keep in touch with through the years, even though we've both got terrible attention spans and are prone to getting lost doing other things instead. your happiness means everything to me, and as long as you're having the time of your life, then i'm so unfathomably happy. i hope 2018 has been wonderful to you and brought you a lot of smiles and laughter, because that's what you always brings to me. please extend my warmest wishes to you and everyone important in your life, and i hope that 2019 will be both kind and magical!
becks: becks i think a lot about how we met in haven, and we didn't actually like. play all that much together in haven?? or maybe we did but it's been so long that i almost like. barely remember? but then after that we played together in recolle and it was so goddamn fun? but i still think it's absolutely hysterical that for a span of a solid couple of years there, we still stayed friends even though we like. never really talked about rp lMFAOSDFLK and i think that's the kind of friendship that i love to have with you, where we barely do any actual rp for long stretches of time but i never question for even a second how happy i am to know you. you're a meme-y force of nature and a gift to everyone that you meet. it's awesome just how much your gag tags and jokes can influence an entire atmosphere, but i've seen it in action, and i'm so grateful for it. i'm so grateful for you and the way that you bring so much joy just by being yourself. happy new year, i hope it's fantastic!!
bella: honestly bella watching you grow and figure out what to do to make yourself happy and how to make yourself happy has been a real blessing over the year. i'm so happy that it seems like you're moving forward with a lot of things that you want to do, whether it's trying out new hobbies like nail painting or getting your job or doing fic commissions or your translations. you work so hard at everything that you try your hand at that it just makes my heart so full. you're a gift to every fandom that you grace because you bring not only more translations with you but also so much good writing and fantastic memes LMFAODSFLKJ. even if we don't talk all the time i appreciate every chiaki that you send my way and so many tsukasa things still make me think of you. i'm also very happy to have some company in dream!ing hell ♥ i hope that your 2019 is warm and wonderful and only brings you even greater amounts of joy
blair: my god it's been over a year since we've known each other and i only feel the need to apologize for everything that i'm sure i've put you through in our friendship - but also thank you for sticking by me. i was just thinking about how in 2016, i spent a bulk of the year looking for you because i was so curious about the izumi on bakerstreet, and now i know exactly who you are, and i feel very grateful to know you each day. it makes me happy to have someone who can play the grumpy to my happy, whether it's chiaizu or hifudo
boba: boba i love you so much and i fucking watched the grooming episode of Dogs today and tRIED SO HARD TO FIGURE OUT WHICH ONE WAS YOU. I REALLY DID. I WAS LIKE BOBA SAID THAT SHE'S HERE IN THEORY BUT WHICH ONE. please understand that the bobahunt will not end because i want to one day meet you and meme with you in person because you are just all around one of my favorite people lMFAO. for one thanks a thousand fucking times for apping sakichi for me in recolle because i will never begin to say how much that meant to me, and how much fun it was to be your castmate even if it was only just for a short while. you as a person make me smile because i have no idea how you go through your everyday life except 'easily'. i think that you are so chill about everything and sensible and you roll with the punches and it's absolutely amazing. your way of life is one that i admire and i don't know if i tell you this often enough so i'm telling you now!! thank you so much for being my friend over the years and sticking with me and i can only look forward to more time that we have with each other ♥
britt: BRITT MY HUNGRIEST LOVE SDLKFJSDF honestly i'm so happy for the time that we've gotten to have together. i think often about the fact that grimm came into being bc i pitched the idea to you literally right before sakuracon, we dragged in ty, and then everything happened so fast. one of the best things that happened to me this year wouldn't have happened if i didn't get to share that moment with you - not to mention all the other things that we've done together. sakuracon was amazing, being able to thread with you was amazing, and every single curry meal or hangout that we've had since then. thank you for bringing amazing ladybug to our friends and letting us all experience that, but in general thank you for being you. you, as a person, are so soft and loving (while at the same time being murderous? my god, how do you do that) and we always poke fun at how cute you are, and how you always say you're happy to be in LA, but honestly everyone is just as sincerely happy to see you. you bring a level head to so many situations where i can't, and i don't know if i could ever thank you enough for that. you're an absolutely amazing friend who i'm lucky to know, and i'm endlessly glad that this year has only brought all of us that much closer.
coco: COCO IT WAS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AT SAKURACON THIS YEAR it's always a lot of fun to hang out with you, and i'm really happy to see how you've grown and really developed into your new skills this year. the way that you constantly strive to improve yourself is honestly really amazing, and it's super neat to see it manifest in your art, and in your writing, and how you always work so hard to make sure that other people know that you appreciate them. you're a wonderful person that i'm endlessly grateful to know, and i'm excited for everything that this coming year has in store for you. tabling at cons?? my god you're going to do amazing. you're really coming into yourself and i hope you know how admirable i think that is, and how excited i am for your future. happy new year, i hope you have an absolutely amazing one!
danielle: danielle i feel like i got so much closer to you this year and i'm so happy about it sdlkjfsd. britt always only sung your praises whenever she talked about you, but it was so nice to meet you and hang out with you lately, and of course i can't say thank you enough for volunteering to jump onto the grimm ship with us because i know for a fact that the game wouldn't have run as well without you. npcing with you such a wild experience of us trying to dance around each other but also match lore, i'm crying sdlkfjsdf. but i wouldn't have undertaken the journey with anyone else for my first time modding a murdergame. you have such a sweet and sincere personality, and you have so much kindness in your heart to share, and i absolutely love that about you. also you're so delightfully sassy at times that it makes me laugh so fucking hard sdlfkjsdf. truly that is the duality of woman. i hope that in 2019 we can only grow closer and you will destroy the lives of that many more people. your creativity is peerless and i am so excited to play with you again soon.
dearest: every fucking year, it's always yours. and you know that i'm working on writing this and i'm losing my mind.
what if i just gave up here bc i'm really mad that we're still posting at approx. the same time even though i was so much closer for so long sdlkfjsdf OOF ANYWAY,,
dearest, i love you so much and you know this. it's another fucking year that we've been together, and i'm scared at this point to count how many years it's been. honestly i'm just laughing thinking about our conversations today and how many times we went "yeah i agree" and "yeah exactly" to each other because at this point we really do just manage to hit every single note whenever we talk to each other. i've mentioned it to you in the recent past, how lucky i am to have found you at a time when we were both so open to growing, and growing together, and letting our friendship grow in a healthy way as a result. that's something that i don't think i'll ever be able to thank you enough for, because i think that our friendship is something special. thank you for every show that we've watched this past year, and all the ones we'll try our hardest to finish in the coming year because we'll at least fucking try. maybe fma finally. but thank you for all the laughs, thank you for all the cr, thank you for the tags, thank you for the vent sessions, and thank you for being you, and always so reliably being you when i need you most. you are so important to me, and happy new year. can't wait to see what disasters await us next but i'm not scared - we'll just slam into whatever it is together.
eli: eli you're so sweet...... i absolutely have more to say here but i just want to start with the fact that you are so sweet and i love you so much LMFAO it was absolutely wonderful to get a chance to meet you irl this year even though that also meant that you endured watching me losing my goddamn fucking mind over kondou-san sdlkfjdsf i'm crying. but you're one of the kindest and friendliest people that i've gotten to meet through rp and i love everything about you and your sincere love for muscials sdlfkjds. but when you talk to people you have a sincere desire to get to know them, and i think that's just such a soft and thoughtful thing. i know that i'm a busy piece of shit that doesn't always answer right away but every time you take a second to send me a message i promise that my heart absolutely melts and i think about how much i appreciate you. i hope that 2019 brings you wonderful things, and if you come to LA then i'll get to cry on you that much more often. which. clearly. is ideal right
francy: oh my god i just got to this note and i feel like i'm about to die LMFSODFLSKDJF. LIKE. HM. give me a second i'm going to put on EOEOA like that'll help. we'll find out if it does. franch i love you so much LMFSODFLKFD. but this is a case with aki where i love you only more than i hate you. i wish i could articulate how happy i am that we've been talking more over the past few months, ever since you innocently mentioned that you need more canons with boys in them and now look at where you are now,, LMFAOSDFLKJ. i hope that you regret it - but i don't. i don't because i'm so happy that i get to talk to you about like. well. everything. takasen obviously, as we have been plagued for the past month, but also mikatsuru and hypmic and non-fandom things like shit that happens rl or whatever else is happening. you are absolutely hilarious as a person, and i appreciate you more than i can even begin to say. thank you for all the laughter and smiles that have felt so easy over the past few months. thank you for being such an amazing friend. thank you for just being you, and making it so easy to shitpost and feel like i can rely on you whenever. you're so dear to me, and i can't wait to fight you irl at sakuracon where one of us will surely die. 2019 will be a disaster for plenty of reasons, but i'm excited to go through it all with you at my side because at some point i guess we got handcuffed together over the past few weeks and that's just how life is now
freshy: you know the thing is that we haven't shared a game with each other for like. three years? like honest to god three years, and yet whenever i think of you, i smile. whenever i think about the times that we get to talk, my heart feels so much lighter. when it comes to friends that i feel lucky to have since we actually don't have all that much tying us together anymore besides memories, you're definitely on the list. we sort of passingly have the same fandoms and yet we're both so distracted with other things we don't talk a lot - but when we do, it's like nothing's ever changed. freshy you work so hard at everything you do in life and i admire you for it constantly. also your nails always look amazing and you are so gorgeous LMFSDOFLKJ THESE AREN'T SUPER VITALLY IMPORTANT BUT IDK HOW OFTEN YOU GET TOLD SO I HAVE TO REMIND YOU WHENEVER I GET THE CHANCE. you're a wonderful person all around and i'm so lucky to be able to know you. we'll eventually rp together again one day, but regardless i am so glad that we're friends. i hope your 2019 is majestic.
gigi: my god i hate you sdlkfjsdf I WAS SO CLOSE TO JUST PUTTING A GIF OR A MEME HERE. I WON'T DO IT, BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT I THOUGHT ABOUT IT. and it would be that one meme with the guys pointing at a portrait like "i'm getting real tired of this guy" but with your twitter icon over the portrait. anyway now that you have that visual image, i need you to know that i love you. i love you and i'm constantly amazed and impressed by you, and i am so, so happy to be your friend. i know that we've seen a lot of shit this year, and you have endured so much, but it's over and you are ending 2018 at the top of the fucking heap, gigi. you are absolutely crushed literally everything in your path, and you will continue doing that in the coming year. i believe that without a single doubt. it's insane to me that we're getting this much closer to our late night boba runs where we talk shit about each other in person, and it'll be a great time. but in general i want to say that i'm so glad that 2018 has brought us that much closer together even if we were close to begin with LMFAO and i appreciate you, and i adore you, and i can't wait to see you.
gore: i feel like my year would be woefully incomplete if i didn't take the time to thank you for being you. the funny thing is that i don't think we got to rp with each other much this year, mostly bc i did bow out in the latter half, but despite that, i still feel just as close to you as i ever have. and i think that says a lot about our friendship, and i am always grateful for when you appear in my plurks to spare a pun, or to talk about a movie that we were both excited for, or to offer some encouragement when i'm suffering even if it's just an emote. you're a very kind person, gore, and a very wonderful person, and i will always want only your happiness. i hope that we get to talking and playing together more in 2019 if the stars align, but even if we don't, i'm happy to know that i get to call you a friend and i'll have you in my life regardless. thank you for that, and i hope that your 2019 is absolutely amazing.
hana: MY SWEET DARLING HANA..... WHENEVER I THINK OF YOU MY HEART HONESTLY GOES SO SOFT LMFAOSDFLKJ i know that it's the hilarious residual feeling from rec, but also you have always been nothing but the sweetest, kindest person and i'm so happy that we're still friends even though we don't currently share a game together. MAYBE IN THE FUTURE that would make me really happy.... but for the time being, i love you a whole bunch and i just wanted to make sure that i took the time to tell you that. it cracks me up to see how hard and fast you fell into gbf, and even though most of my understanding is on the equivalent of that "are you winning, son?" meme, seeing you happy is all that i could ever really ask for in life. thank you for being as stellar as you are, and i hope that your 2019 is beautiful and blessed!!
hayley: hayley you're another one of my friends who just has the softest presence and i'm so happy about it sdlkfjsf even though we're both spotty on plurk i'm so happy that i was able to find you on twitter and i got so excited to just be able to catch all your adventures but also your BEAUTIFUL ART MY GOD SLDFJKSDF. we don't chat directly much but knowing you and being able to see you on twitter has distinctly improved my qualify of life this 2018 and i absolutely have to say thank you for that, because i'm endlessly grateful for it. thank you so much and i hope that you're 2019 is amazing!!
jae: can you believe it was 2018 when i got to play in a game with jae again!! i honestly can't say enough how happy i am that you decided to join us for grimm, because that was such a blessing for so many reasons. i got to talk to you again more regularly, even if it was just in chat, and it made me happy to be able to share the joy of knowing you with so many of my other friends. i can't say enough how happy i am to have known you for as long as i have, and how lucky it feels to be able to have you in my life. it was also just as wonderful to get to see you again at fanime this year, and to be able to chill with you in person. i think you're an incredibly impressive person, jae, because you work harder than just about anyone else that i know, and sometimes it's not always acknowledged. but i hope that at least when we get to talk, and when you get to spend time with the rest of us who love you online, you know just how treasured you are. i hope that the 2019 brings a lot of kindness to you, whether it's from yourself or from the people around you, and i'm so glad that our friendship will just continue to stretch on forever.
january: my god jan, i love you LMFSODFLKSJDF. i'm pretty sure you know this, one way or another. it's crazy to me that we've known each other for so long, and i'm sure that at this point i'm starting to sound like a broken record, but it is really important to me that you know that no matter how many years pass, i'm really glad that i get to be able to call you a friend. you're a staple in my life that i am unbelievably grateful for, and i'm sure that i would've grown to be a very different person if i didn't have you in my life for so long. so for the fact that you've stuck by with me for so long, and for the years to come if i don't somehow manage to scare you off - thank you for those too. it's made me really happy to see you grow and flourish over the years, even though you're just a year ahead of me sdlfjsdf but seeing you friend an RP style that works for you, and get involved in murdergames, and i was even able to murder with you this time?? and i get to murder with you again soon!! i can't wait. both in RP and out of it, you've always been a dearly important friend to me, and i'm so glad that i'm lucky enough to consistently have you in my life. i love you more than i can even begin to say, and i hope that your 2019 is absolutely magical.
kami: KAMI OUR BELOVED AND INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT JOCK FRIEND!!!! a;ksldjfsdf i know that this year has had a lot of ups and downs for you, but i also hope that you know that more than anything else, i'm so fucking proud of you for moving forward and being able to take the steps to fix your life into what you want to make it into. you are such a buoyant, wonderful, happy person and you have so much energy and expend so much of that same energy to make others happy. i'm so glad that you're using some of that energy for yourself now, and to finding the things that bring you joy. your volleyball love in particular stands out and i cry bc it's the most kamicore thing in the world sldfjsdf. i'm so glad that we've gotten to watch a few episodes together and that 2019 means that we'll have an entire new season to watch!!! THAT'S SO EXCITING LMFAOSDFKLJ. but in general i'm so happy that i've gotten to spend as much time with you as i have, and i will of course just be spending more time with you in the years to come. you are an irreplaceable friend that i love so fucking much, and i can't wait to tackle 2019 head on with you.
kari: kari i met you for like. a few hours at sakuracon but they were such a wonderful time?? lMFAO FOR ONE I'M SO IMPRESSED WITH YOUR PATIENCE OF DEALING WITH ME AND AKI IN THE SAME PLACE FOR AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME IN THE FIRST PLACE. but i'm so glad that i've gotten to know you on plurk and get the chance to experience more of your absolutely wonderful positive energy. you bring so much light into a world that is sometimes so cruel, and people like you are so important to have in the world. i respect you for being so open about talking about your transition, and the steps that you're taking, and even if i don't always chime in directly, i hope you know that i support you so fucking much and i hope that 2019 will bring endless happiness and good news your way. have a wonderful new year!!
kia: i think this note might actually make the most emotional. i think a lot about how the circumstances in which we came back together might not have been the greatest, but i selfishly can't say thank you enough if it means that i got to return to a friendship that honestly means the world to me. even in just the little things where even if we don't talk on disco all the time, i'm happy that i can just chat you up about anything that comes up, and it's just as easy as ever. you are one of the sweetest, kindest, most patient people that i've known in my life and i hope you know that i will always wish for your every happiness, whatever that looks like. but being able to see it all a little bit closer now, to be able to talk to you again about what fandoms are making you happy, or what new pupper is making you smile, makes all the difference. it was so fun to play with you again over the summer, and i can't wait for the next chance we get to share a game and play together again. thank you so much for all the fun we've had, and all the fun i'm sure we'll have in the future, and in general thank you for coming back into my life because i'm so happy to have you here. have a wonderful 2019, kia!! i can't wait to spend it with you, so long as you'll have me
kori: omg kori it's so weird for me to think that just a few months ago i didn't know you because i'm just so used to talking to you and sharing fandoms with you that you're just a constant presence in my dms and my timeline now sldkjfsdf. but i'm so, so glad that i got the chance to know you out of the blue and talk to you more and how our friendship has progressed so easily. you're so easy to talk to about anything and everything, and also just shitpost or go drinking or watch things with??? i guess what i'm trying to say is that you are a wonderful person who is a delight in every experience that i'm lucky enough to get to share with you. it was wonderful to meet you in person and i cry because i really hope that one day we'll get to see each other again. I'M SURE THAT IT'LL HAPPEN, BUT SOONER RATHER THAN LATER,, thank you for going on my big hifudo journey with me but also every chiakana that pops up on my timeline absolutely makes me think of you sdkfjdfl. i hope that your 2019 is a bunch of fun and i'm so glad that i get to go into it with you as a friend ♥
kyuu: places hands on your shoulders. kyuu i love you and i am constantly in awe of you. LMFAOSDFLKJ. sometimes i still hang out and think about how you said that you signed up for 3 big bangs and i'm like wow i don't know how kyuu functions as a person but i am so full of admiration and respect. but i just want to say that being able to talk shop with you when it came to writing - and we need to revive that gruopchat with marie - was honestly so helpful and encouraging and helped kick me out of some rough spots where i wasn't writing even when i definitely should've been. you are such an encouraging and wonderful person, and i'm just so grateful to know you and be able to call you my friend. and of course i can't wait to fucking murder the shit out of each other in a few months, which should be an absolutely amazing time. 2019 will be so wonderful, and i hope to take some of your energy with me running into it!!
lisa: honestly lisa you are like a fucking meme of a human being that i love with my entire heart sdlkfjsdlkfj LIKE EVERY TIME I THINK OF SOMETHING HYSTERICAL, I'LL SOMETIMES JUST THINK OF YOU? NEO YOKIO DOES IT A LOT BUT ALSO RANDOMLY i'm always like 'ah, this made me laugh, i hope that lisa's seen it' or 'this made me smile and it reminds me of lisa'. i love the energy and passion that you have for the things that you love and how you'll share how much you love those things with other people. you are the comics guru on my timeline as far as i'm concerned and it's why i was so fucking hype for you to see spider-verse, but in general i love reading your opinions on topics whether it's design-related stuff or danny phantom sldfkj. you are someone that i'm so, so glad that recolle brought into my life and i'm endlessly grateful for it. i do hope that one of these days we can hang irl because that sounds like it would be amazing, and i think i remember agreeing to walking down the streets of LA with some kind of meme bootyshorts and i will absolutely make good on that promise. but until then, i hope your 2019 is fucking amazing because you're fucking amazing.
luna: so we just talked about this the other day, in terms of being able to talk yourself into self-confidence, and new hopes for the coming year, but i just wanted to reiterate that i'm literally always going to be in your corner, because i think that you're amazing. i think that you're a talented writer, and a talented cosplayer, and you have a lot of skill in what you put your mind to. i know that it can be hard to convince yourself into positive self-talk, but i hope that in the coming year that you make progress in being able to be the luna that you want to be. as is, i think you're amazing, but like i told you, if you want to improve, then i think that you'll definitely be able to do it. if you ever want someone to talk to about any of this, i hope that you know i'm just a PP or a DM away. you're fantastic, and wonderful, and you will only grow to be more fantastic and wonderful and that's something that i believe with unwavering faith. here's to a productive 2019!!
marie: can you believe that now you've known me for a year and you've survived because i can't, and i feel like that there's probably a long list of things that i need to apologize for lMSODFLKSJDF. but honestly marie i'm so grateful for how i've gotten to know you more over the course of this year, and all the screaming that came with it. having you in grimm was an absolute delight and please know that you have single-handedly made me a giant sanji stan and every time i see him i also naturally just think of you. i'm so grateful for all the cr that we've gotten to have and all the cr i'm sure that we'll have in the future. i know that this year has been a rollercoaster for you and you've been doing some thinking about what the future holds, but i know that no matter what, you're going to be absolutely amazing. you are one fo the most driven, kindest, most patient, and skilled people that i've ever met and i can't wait to see how you'll take your life and make the world a better place a day at a time. thanks for being my friend and i can't wait to see what 2019 brings you!!
mira: honestly mira i'm just really glad that you're the kind of friend where regardless of whether we share a game together, or if we're currently in the same fandoms, i can still talk to you about anything even if it's just thotty memes or the cr that we had and both cherished. you are honestly such an admirable person who is super skilled at her craft, and i can't say enough how cool i think it is that you apply yourself to everything that you do. you work so hard, and you are so kind to everyone that you meet, even if you then proceed to terrorize us with cursed cr and a shitton of memes - but that's just the fun of the ride. i hope that we get to play together again in 2019 tho, and i can't wait to see what it has in store for our friendship aside from even more swords. have an absolutely amazing new year!!
nat: i'm sure that when i look back on 2018, i won't really remember much at all, but i will remember those three days where we did nothing but watch spider-verse and talk about spider-verse and woke up at 7 am to go see a spider-verse panel, because that was absolutely a highlight of my entire year and will probably be a highlight for my fucking marvel-loving career. and i'm really, really glad that i got to spend it with you. we talked about a lot of things on that sidewalk outside of gallery nucleus, but i hope that you know that with my entire heart, i am always going to be rooting for your success and happiness, and i love you so goddamn much LMFAO. in a lot of ways i think we're similar, but also for every single way that we're different, i want you to succeed and really tap into your passions and chase after what matters to you. i want more than anything else for you to figure out a schedule and a life that works for you, and i know that you will, and i am unfathomably excited for it. we've done a bunch of things over the course fo this year and gotten into so many fandoms LMFAO and i'm so glad that we share so many, because it's so fun to talk to you about literally anything and everything. we'll do plenty of that in 2019 too, i'm sure. happy new year, nat!! can't wait to break in my new eyes with you too.
ori: i can't fucking believe that i just saw you yesterday and i already miss hanging out with you sdlfkjsf ORI, YOU ARE A PERSON THAT I LOVE WITH MY WHOLE HEART BECAUSE I THINK ABOUT THE TIMES WE SPEND IN THE CAR A LOT. for one, you don't get mad that i get so distracted by talking about something that i miss a turn, but i mean in the sense that i'm really happy that we can talk about something for a spell, admit that neither of us understand kagepro or kingdom hearts or whatever it is, and then we can lapse into a comfortable silence. because i think that i actually have problems with silence because i'm an anxious fool, but i don't feel that way with you. i cherish all the times that we have together, even if it's quiet, and even if we're watching neo yokio. you are someone that i think is very thoughtful, and very wonderful, and very skilled and hard-working at everything you try your hand at. i love how intensely you consume canons, or how much you love to rp (and how much everyone loves to rp with you), and how hard you work at your studies and your job too. you, as a person, are absolutely awe-inspiring in every single way and i consider myself lucky to be able to call you a friend. hopefully we get to hang out soon, and i hope your 2019 is amazing! i hope it brings you closer to us too.
pip: i feel like i say this every year, but i think it's because it's important to remember every single year - your generosity in letting us hang out in your apartment (even before nat moved in) every weekend is unparalleled, and you have helped create something absolutely amazing by giving us just a space to all hang out. and i think that's just you as a person - you have a lot of generosity and you will share what brings you excitement, and what matters to you, with your friends because you want everyone to be able to share in this exciting thing all together. it's a very welcoming, inclusive personality that makes you so easy to love and appreciate. you really slam into everything in life with that same energy and excitement, and it's something that i find admirable. there aren't really words available for how much i appreciate you, but i'm going to keep trying anyway LMFAO. it's been really fun to get into different canons with you and watch you die over all sorts of different things, whether it's bsd or swords or whatever else. i can't wait for 2019 to come and to see how many other ways you will just expire on the spot. but most of all i just want to thank you for the friendship, and the reassurance and kindness that you extend to me daily, and how lucky i feel to be able to rely on you - and hope you can rely on me just the same. can't wait to see you in 2019!!
pixi: i won't lie that sometimes i think about the sakuracon group as if we were one of the sword teams. and i think that out of all of us, you would probably carry the singular braincell that would keep us from fucking up literally everything. sldkfjsdf you endured so much that weekend and i think about it a lot, i'm crying. but also in general, i'm so so so glad that i got to meet you in person this year!!!! that was so fucking exciting sldjkfsdf and i'm so glad that we got to freak out about the bsd movie together too oh my god. it's been a wild ride of bsd and swords this year, i'm glad you got to close it out with srs and your yasu towel and generally having a wonderful time because it's what you deserve. also, for the record, i think you are fucking writing goals and i aspire to be able to consistently work at a project as lovingly as you have. HERE'S TO NEXT YEAR PIXI i can't wait to see you again and once again rely on you to be the singular braincell. happy new year!!
princess (lulu): MY BEAUTIFUL LOVELY PRINCESS ♥♥ i think that our relationship will always be encompassed by the fact that one day you asked why no one would call you princess unless they were an anime boy and then i showed up and i was like yes i am here sdlkfjsdf. you always have nothing but the nicest words to say to me i absolutely have to return the favor?? it cracks me up because we met in a wild flurry earlier this year, and then we both slipped right out of the game we met in, and yet i feel just as close to you as i ever did. you are a wonderful person who works so hard to spread cheer and make people feel good about themselves, and i hope that you receive the same treatment because it's honestly what you deserve? you make me so happy, and i hope that i can try to bring even a fraction of the same happiness to you. best wishes to you and your family, and also your beloved dog, in this coming 2019 ♥♥
ray: I TOLD ARI THIS TOO but one of my favorite things is really just watching the both of you slip and tumble into a bunch of canons that i was already into and then being like 'nice i'm glad that we're all roasting in the same hellpit together' sdlfkjsdf. YOUR LOVE FOR KUMOUS, THEN FOR SWORDS, THEN FOR HYPMIC ALL MADE ME REALLY HAPPY whenever you wander into dream!ing hell don't worry, i'll be here waiting for you sdlfkjsdf. BUT IN GENERAL I'M REALLY GLAD THAT I'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW YOU BETTER OVER THE COURSE OF THIS YEAR, and i hope you know that i'm rooting for you too. i know that this last half of the year was rough, but i truly believe that things will look up for you in just a little bit of time. i know you're applying yourself and working hard and i will be sending a shitton of good fortune and good luck your way, and hope that 2019 is easier on you than 2018 has been. you're amazing, ray, and you'll reap all the rewards of your hard work in time, i'm sure. thank you for still being a bright spot for others, and i hope you have a fantastic new year!
rose: honestly rose i've had you forever and for that i'm really grateful sdlkfjsdf. i think we met?? in cerealia?? and it's amazing that we've still remained friends through that whole time, but i feel like with the sheer amount of swords things that we've watched together, or the random history-related things that we talk about, our relationship has been rekindled a lot. and for that i'm really happy. i love every single damn thirsty thing that you say in rabbit even if sometimes it just makes me want to die cries sdljkfsdf. but i want to say thank you for the years of friendship and that i'm glad that we've found a new thing to bond over too. you are a delight to have and i hope that your 2019 brings wonderful things your way!
sib: sibbu i love you so much.... honestly it cracks me up because we share like. uno fandom. singular fandom and that's because you convinced me in a moment of weakness to buy code: realize, and i think that's hysterical. but despite that, i honestly cherish having you as a friend so much, and i feel so lucky to know you and still get the chance to talk to you about anything and everything under the sun. i do have to take a second to say that i appreciate and love your art of course, but i also think that you are one of the funniest people that i know - i think about half of the grimm caps that i took had to have involved you in some way, and that says a lot because there were so many damn funny people in grimm. i was so excited to share that murdergame experience with you and i'm excited to share more in the future, because you are always a delight in every single way. sakuracon is also going to be a blast and i can't wait to hang out with you irl, it'll be so beautiful. thank you so much for being a fantastic friend, and just being your super cool self, and i hope that you have an awesome new year!!
sisi: HELLO SISI HOPE THAT YOU'RE HAVING AN ABSOLUTELY FUCKING AMAZING TIME IN JAPAN!!!! honestly this entire vacation for you is so well deserved, given everything that's happened in your life lately whether it's at work or otherwise. i'm so glad that you're taking this time for yourself, because it's more than well-deserved? it's really funny to me that your message and sunny's are so close together because sometimes when i sit back and think about people on my timeline that i think are absolutely fucking phenomenal, amazing people who are making a difference in the world, i think of you both. i think of your amazing lessons and all the work that you do for the kids in your school, and the passion that you have for teaching and your job and i think that you are going to bring the entire world to its feet. you are an absolutely stunning person and a great teacher that makes a difference in so many lives, and i want to say thank you for that. thank you for that, and thank you for being my friend and a talented clothing designer and just being fantastic all around. i hope your 2019 has started off beautifully and will continue beautifully ♥
sunny: honestly sunny i was just telling someone the other day that you're one of the nicest people that i've met in dwrp sldkfjsdf in terms of people that i've met in games, but that i talk to a lot outside of the rp context and just chat with about life, i think i can say with sincerity that you are one of the kindest and fluffiest and most encouraging people that i've met. it's really important to me that i express to you how much that means to me, and how much i'm sure that means to other people, because you will so willingly engage with anyone and everyone about positive things in your life and how you believe in them. and having someone like you work in education just gives me so much fucking hope. you've done so great in 2018 and you're going to keep doing great in 2019, and i can't wait to see what other amazing things you'll do.
teej: my god where do i begin sdflkjsdfsdf if 2017 was the year that we got closer, then 2018 was absolutely the year that we lost our damn minds together and i think that's honestly such a gift LMFAOSDLFKJ. i really don't know where i'd be at this point in my life without you, because i've just gotten so used to having you in my life at every turn, in every fandom, and every few weekends where we feel like watching something. it's also part of the reason why i think i'm waiting so eagerly for you to fall into dream!ing for real bc i'm like 'lmfao what is this current place that i'm at in a fandom without teej, this is bizarre'. thank you for enduring me every single step of the way, even though i'm sure that i turned into a meme goblin at times, and no thanks for all the times that you've only encouraged the meme goblinery. i think our friendship is lowkey defined by me running around seattle just shouting your name until i eventually found you tbh. i'm really happy that we got to meet and watch the bsd movie twice in one weekend together and you were otherwise witness and participant to the rest of the memery that weekend. in general i'm just really glad that we've gotten to go through so many things together, and i look forward to finding new ways to absolutely ruin you in 2019. thank you for the impact that you've made on my life and being a wonderful, calming, uplifting influence all this time. happy new year again - can't wait for genjis stage to kill us both in cold blood
tori: tori you are a damn shitpost tornado of a human being but i love you, against all reason and sense. honestly whenever i talk to people about you, it's always in the sense that you remind me of a really excited puppy, and who doesn't love puppies?? honestly tori, i think that you're a phenomena person who deals with a lot of things that the average person on the internet doesn't have to think twice about, and despite all that, you carry a lightness and infectious energy to you that says plenty about your own strength. on top of that, you're incredibly dedicated and stubborn about what's important to you, which is a fantastic trait to have. and you are so smart, and i can't wait to see what amazing things you'll do in the coming year. i know you said that there's a lot lined up for you, and true as that may be, my faith in you doesn't waver even a fraction. you're going to absolutely mind-blowing things, and you will be great. i'm excited for what your future looks like, and please know that i'm cheering you on every single step of the way. have an excellent 2019!
tsubo: there is honestly no one in my life that i think spares time for as much random, encouraging positivity and support as you do. and i think that's its own type of magic. i think being able to randomly go into people's plurks and talk about how much you appreciate them and how much you believe in them, and doing that consistently to everyone that you consider a friend is honestly amazing. it is nothing short of awe-inspiring and i would absolutely support a new world order where you take control and preside over us all. i think that you are, in short, one of the best people that i know. and i don't know if i personally have the words to really say how much you mean to me, and how much it means to me in general to know that people like you are out there making the world a better place. you are kind, wonderful, warm, and so important to me and so many others. and i hope you know that going into 2019, and that it blesses you the way that you bless all of us ♥
ty: oh my sweet love, 2018 has been a rollercoaster for you. i know that we've been talking about that for a long while, but i just want to say - it's almost over. you are almost through with these difficult times, and for that, i am so unbelievably proud of you. you work so fucking hard through everything that happens to you, and everything that happens around you, and despite it all you're able to retain your good humor and still spare enough time to share your love for your friends. there have been countless times where i know for a fact that you have been under an insane amount of pressure but still offer time to others to be able to take care of them as a friend, and that's a really amazing thing that i don't think gets acknowledged enough. you are a wonderful person with so much to give the world, with so much creativity that i'm constantly shocked by what you're capable of coming up with, and an endless amount of drive and passion. you are a recipe for success and i truly believe that your breakthrough is coming soon. 2019 is going to be a great time for shedding everything that's been weighing on you, and conquering the world as i know for a fact that you were destined to do. you are a dear friend to me, which i hope that you know, and i really don't know where i'd be in my life at this moment without you. so i want to say thank you for that, and thank you for your boundless patience even if you also doxx me like no other. happy new year, fams, can't wait to see you soon
yaywon: please know that there is not a week that goes by that aki and i don't talk about how amazing you are to watch anything with. i think a lot about "so key man is a sword?" and "who's brent? is he a sword?" because those moments when watching the sword musicals made my entire fucking life, yaywon. you are so funny without even trying and i hope you know that when we roast you, it's done entirely out of love because you are such a fucking gift. i'm lucky to know you, and lucky that you are so damn hilarious, but also so patient that you won't kill me and aki on sight despite how often we troll you. or maybe you will, and that is entirely valid. we deserve it. but honestly yaywon, there's no one that i would rather talk and cry about rengoku with, and i'm so happy whenever you get a chance to watch swords with us because it's always a delight. even though we don't share any games, i'm so glad that we've gotten to stay close over the years, and i'm thankful for being able to know you and our bond lasting through it all. i hope 2019 brings you absolutely wonderful things, and i can't wait to spend more time with you in the coming year too.
the tweeters.
bento: i think a lot about how i wouldn't have gotten as deeply ingrained into twitter if i hadn't read your fic, and i hadn't met you. i think a lot about how when we first met you told me that i should get better at lying which was the most gentaro thing in the world lsdkjfsdf but honestly i just think a lot about how lucky i am to have met you, and how happy i am to have you in my life even though we've been dragged kicking and screaming into different gay hells for the time being. everything i know about The First Gays (gilkidu) is from you and i love them with my whole heart by association. your writing is always top notch of course, and i adore your art too, but you as a person always makes me crack up with your shitposts and you inspire me with your big heart. i love you a ton, bento, and i'm so so happy that i get to enter the new year with you as a friend.
jennifer: the thing is that we literally just started talking this month but i consider you honestly irreplaceable in my book already. for one, i want to say thank you because you put up with all my dream!ing questions bc i, a fool, cannot read moon runes but you're always patient enough to share whatever information i'm looking for. your translations are a big part of why i got dragged into dream!ing as quickly as i did - your senri character story translation was one of the first things a friend sent me actually - and i was just telling my other friends "you know how sometimes some people are so soft that you can never feel a negative emotion when you're talking to them", you're one of those friends for me sdljf. thank you for this past month and i look forward to more hiyori stanning and your swords opinions and ofc takasen in 2019!!
lark: lark-sensei..... you have so much wise, thoughtful energy that i'm excited for the chance to gush about you even if it makes me feel especially hifumi -> jakurai about it sdlfjsdf LMFAO. for one, i know that we haven't even known each other very long and only met through our mutual friends and appreciation for samajaku, but you have a type of energy that makes people feel very relaxed and welcome (jakurai-style,,). i have a feeling that i'll be looking back on your twitter thread about what you've learned about writing over the past year, because also your writing is #goals as far as i'm concerned. i've told you about how much i love your way with words, and how it feels like every phrase is selected with love and care. you've been a delight to talk to and i hope that your 2019 is wonderful and peaceful and brings you everything that you could ever want and more.
lee: so it was a small eternity ago, but i remember you drawing fanart for my leokasa fic and i know that i said thank you then, but i want you to know that it stuck with me and i think back on that moment often sldkjfsdf it was the first time anyone ever voluntarily did art for my writing and i was so close to cryinglkdf i feel like i don't say thank you for all the support you give me as a writer, and how much it means to me. i love your art and you're so talented in your own craft that it's just such a high compliment that i melt on the spot. thank you for your help getting into dream!ing too bc i've slowly started to drag in the rest of my friends and it basically opened up a whole new world to me. you're a wonderful person and i just want to say thank you for all that you do, even if you might not think much of it. i hope 2019 is super wonderful to you ♥♥
mandy: mandy!!! we do not talk super often but i just wanted to say thank you for adding spots of light to my 2018. i curled up into a little ball when i first saw you talking about my fic, but honestly i'm so glad that it helped us get to know each other and start talking a little bit more. your tweets always make me smile and i love how you always chat like you're taking your tl on a little adventure through your day. it makes me hope that every single one of your days is filled with light and relaxation because it's what you deserve. i hope that we get to talk more in 2019, but regardless i'm very happy to get to be your friend ♥
meg: meg where do i even start sdklfjsdf for one, thank you for death respect day which was actually one of my favorite self-made fandom events ever sldfkjsdf. i love that cap you shared of us just slamming challenges down at each other and screaming and then just Deciding we were going to do this thing and we absolutely need more of that in 2019. but also in general, thank you so much for being a wonderful listening ear and stunning beta and more than anything, a fast friend that i have so much love in my heart for. you've been so good to me and just talking to you can make me feel so much fondness and affection in my heart. i love all of the samajaku screaming we do and the gendice and the hifudo and having you in my life has honestly made it so much better. i didn't even realize what i was missing, but i can say with sincerity that i wouldn't trade it for anything. happy new year to you!! i love you so much
mike: waaaaoooo, happy new year mike!! i'm so happy that you get to spend it with vii sdlfkjsdf that's super exciting and i got so excited just watching both of your countdowns go down and down ;u; we don't always have a lot to chat about but i consider you one of the people that i'm really glad that i got to stay in touch with even after i took a break from twitter and took a step back from enstars. as always, your translations are a gift to everyone who gets to read them though, and your love for leokasa keeps the shipper flame in my heart alive. i know that the mental health struggle is real, but i need you to know that i think you're so strong and do amazing every single day. so many happy wishes to you and vii and i hope your visit together is wonderful ♥ thanks for remaining my friend and i will always be rooting for you.
nii: tbh i feel like i mostly just slam into you whenever i see anything riouhifu-related, but i wanted to say that in general i'm really, really happy that we've gotten to meet over the past few months. you work so hard as an artist and a content creator, and i want to say thank you for all the good fucking food of course, but also you bring nothing but positivity and kindness to my tl. you're always a level head who tries to encourage respect in the fandom and i'm so grateful for you as a person. you deserve to have an absolutely wonderful 2019 and i hope that it brings you a lot of joy and mtc goodness. ♥♥
pearl: well i tweeted this the other day and i was like hmmm i'll just give it a while and see if she sees it but you didn't and i laughedslkjfsldf ANYWAY PEARL, WE DON'T CHAT SUPER OFTEN but whenever i make a writing tweet and you just take a minute to offer some kindness or encouragement my way, it always makes me smile. i really appreciate it more than i can even really begin to say sdlkfsdf. it feels like i constantly have someone in my corner which i appreciate more than i can say. ;u; so thank you very much, and i hope that 2019 brings you as my joy as you bring me. have a good one!!
remi: MY SWEETEST REMI SLKDFJSDKFLJ CRIES. ughugh my heart is twisting because you're one of the people that i'm really, really glad that i've gotten to stay in touch with over the years. when i was in enstars, you were absolutely indispensable when it came to getting me to produce any work at all, and motivate me to keep going with my fic. even now, i have to say that you were a phenomenal beta and i miss working and collabing with you so much since we've wandered to different fandoms. but even with that, i am so, so happy that 2018 has been good to you and you get to eat soooo much delicious food and have been having a better time at your job. it's what you deserve!! you work so hard and everything you create is so adorable that i want to cry. thank you so much for sticking with me and still being my friend after this time ♥♥ you make me smile and i hope your 2019 is absolutely beautiful.
rin: aaaaaa rin ♥♥ i'm so happy that you're still in my life even though i did pull a tiny little disappear act from twitter sldkjfsf. you're a friend that i'm happy to hold onto, and can't say thank you for enough because i loved every time that we got to talk over the year about whichever fandom you were getting into - and how in some parts we ended up in the same place. you're always the sweetest and most thoughtful when it comes to sharing the goodness that comes into your life, and your generosity is so appreciated. talking to you always makes me smile and i hope that our friendship can only grow and flourish into 2019 ♥
shii: sldfjsdf it was so nice to see you in personal and clean out a bunch of sushi plates with you this year, shii!!! i'm crying, i remember first meeting you in enstars forever ago and you sure did keep strong through the fandom. it was so much fun to watch you spiral into hypmic and just spend like an hour shrieking about hifudo and ryuseitai with you at the sushi place LMFSDOFLKJ. that was a really enjoyable time in little tokyo and we should do it again sometime! the energy that you bring to your fandom spaces always makes me smile and every person that's your friend is super lucky to be able to meet you and have you in their lives. thanks so much for everything and i hope you have a wonderful new year!! ♥♥
tama: MY SWEET DARLING BEAUTIFUL LOVELY ADORABLE DOPPO ♥♥ laughs tamaaaaaa ♥♥ you'll probably kill me for this but i'm so excited over the chance of being able to sing your praises again. i think it's at least been a few months now that we've known each other and i still adore you just as much as the first day. thank you for putting up with my scatter-brained and busy and easily distracted ass as it takes me forever to get to messages, but i'm always so happy whenever i get the chance to talk to you about anything. you've been a joy to have in my life, whether we're talking about hypmic or miles or anything else under the sun. it makes me smile whenever i hear from you or just see you enjoying yourself on my tl with deltarune or whatever other foray you've jumped into. i'm so so so excited to see you soon, and just wanted to say thank you for blessing my life with not only your beautiful art but your beautiful self. you're so dear to me and i'm so happy that i've gotten a chance to know you. 2019 will be amazing and it's because i'll get to enter it with you
vii: aaaaa happy new year vii i'm so glad you got to welcome it in mike's arms skljdfsdf. THE TWO OF YOU ARE SO CUTE i just want to keep saying that because even when i wasn't really on fandom twitter and instead just on my priv, i kept thinking about how nice it was to see the two of you together and how more than anything else, the two of you really help me believe that love can be kept alive. ♥♥ you are always a delight to have around on my tls because you keep me up to date on all the hypmic memes,,,, but also for the record i absolutely love how much love and work you pour into your kingdom au and seeing how you've touched so many other lives with it. it's such an expansive, collaborative, detailed work that i'm in awe of as a fellow creator. you're absolutely fantastic and i hope that 2019 will bring you more (leo voice) inspiration and kindness!!
