2022 notes。
so a few notes in advance of this year’s notes:
first - i lost the first draft of this year’s notes and had to start over this morning. pours one out. the progress wasn’t very far but it’s still an L, but it’s ok!! hopefully all the bad luck will be left behind in 2022!
second - i made the boo boo the fool move of getting my nails done with gel x (so like fake nails) right before the new year. for the record my nails look amazing but it has hampered my typing speed…. so idk if this year’s notes will end up any shorter than last year’s, but if they do please know that i tried as much as my tippy tappy fingers would allow!!
without further ado, let’s get this show on the road!!
EVERYONE!!: i tend to write this entry last, but i’m going to write a little about it in the middle because i’m going through all the things i’ve written, all the entries i still have to write and i guess i was just kinda… overcome? I get to write these notes, i get to have all these people who mean the world to me and it just makes me a little teary-eyed. i feel like such a fortunate person, and i look forward to all the friends i’ll still get to make in years to come.
mm i guess if i can just talk briefly about looking back on this tradition of notes - i’ve been doing this since 2011! i was 16 at the time, and hilariously this list had about half as many names. each year, names are added or leave, bc that’s the coming and going of friendships especially on the internet. one of my greatest joys is actually when a name comes back, bc that’s so exciting to know reconnection is always possible. but over the past few years, i think more and more of these names are constant. more and more are you of people i feel lucky to be with every year, going through life together. and i guess even if we may lose touch or grow apart, i just hope that you know that with all my heart, i want you to know how much you mean to me in this moment. you’ve made a difference in my life, and i want you to know that. thank you for being with me, whether for now or forever.
even if i didn’t have all the time in the world to write every name, please know that i don’t keep people in my life if i’m not happy to see them. i curate my spaces so intensely, and i am intentional about the people that i treasure. so regardless of anything else, please know that i’m so happy that you made it through this year and i hope that the next one is soft, and beautiful for you. happy new year!!
( it can be said this is happiness )

2021 notes。
EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO OPENS THIS: i do a lot of individualized notes and i worry that a lot of them sound similar no matter my most intense attempts - but i hope that for each one of you, you have a warm and safe new year. i hope that 2022 has less challenges and more rewards, and i hope that you get to spend it laughing with the people that you love. thank you so much for being a part of my life, and for putting up with the chaos of knowing me, and making every single day of my life brighter. i am nothing without the people that i hold dear, and i always think i could stand to tell the people who matter to me more often just how much i love them - but these notes are at least a start. thank you, and i love you!
Aki: every sINGLE YEAR i go "i can't believe you're at the top" and this year i fix it. please refer to Biscuit entry for your real note thanks
Al: AL CONGRATULATIONS ON MAKING IT TO 2022!!! i know that you've been busy this year, but you've been kicking ass all around! congratulations on making it most of the way through your program, and also being able to launch a successful game on top of it! YOU'RE DOING GREAT. even if i don't always comment on plurks please know that i'm always cheering you on, and i'm glad that you've been flourishing through everything. i know that even when things are rough that you'll be able to get through them, and i look forward to seeing all the new and exciting ways that you'll surely kick ass in 2022! my comrade in academia and job hunting. fingers crossed that we both accomplish all our dreams just as we've planned!! i'm cheering you on, al!!
Alli: KEEPER OF BIG ITTY AQUAMAN!!!!!! honestly allí i consider myself very lucky and fortunate indeed to be able to call you a friend. you are such a funny, hilarious person, and i think the year of 2021 saw all that you've done for others and rewarded you with c1 itto along with his signature weapon and it was right to do so (i'm only mostly kidding) LMFAOASDLFKJ. but it was soooo fun to get to meet you in person this year and even if we can't meet up in fanime next year, i hope that our paths will find a way to cross one way or another!!! you're a gift of a person, and i always leave a conversation with you with plenty of laughter in my heart and a smile on my face, and i think you deserve the same from your life everyday!! so have a wonderful 2022, and thank you for making my 2021 so fun!
Alice: honestly Alice it's so nice to see your plurks and talk to you about writing and craft and things because you're such an admirable writer and a great person with so many skills and talents sdlfkjsdf I THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU JUST STARTED TRANSLATING THINGS ON A WHIM and then you kept going with it!!! and similarly i can't thank you enough for your willingness to read over my project and give me feedback on it because sometimes writing is such a solitary activity, but whether it be chatting with you about craft or just reading your plurks knowing that you're also working through the ups and downs of learning how to improve writing makes it me feel better knowing that i'm going through it with a friend. i look forward to reading whatever you produce and being able to return the favor, and also in general i'm always in love with your writing and how fantastic your prose is. may the new year be kind to you and i hope that you only find room to flourish with all your dreams!!!
Andie: on the one hand i'm like "my god i haven't gotten to talk to andie in a while" and on the other i'm also like "honestly that's fine bc whenever we do talk it's like no time has passed whatsoever" LMFAOSDFLKJ that said congrats on ffxiv wedding (was that this year, i think it was this year) and hONESTLY I'M REALLY HOPING THAT I GET TO SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!! i won't lie i liken our relationship to legitimately that of cousins of the same filipino family that see each other semi-regularly at family functions and whatnot but still manage to shoot the shit online. LMFAO. so fingers crossed that we get to catch each other next year, whether it be at fanime or some other random gathering we manage to show up at together!!! congratulations on leaving your family home (hell yea) and i hope that 2022 only brings you more excellent developments and joy ♥
Anna: MY DARLING ANNAPIIIIII, i will never forget the past 2 years for cucking me so hard in my chance to meet you irl and see for myself that you aren't a tall asian clown like we headcanoned. but in all seriousness, thank you for always being there for me. thank you for always being gentle with me when i'm losing my goddamn mind. thank you for every horrible cursed thirsty comment that makes me absolutely fucking die and glad i don't work in an office anymore because i wouldn't be able to explain in a sfw way why i'm laughing. you are a gift and a treasure and a haunting meme ghost and i mean that in the best way possible. you work so hard constantly and deal with so much bullshit all the time, and all i want is for you to get a break - and also to win the lotto so you can move somewhere where you don't have to drive 2 hours to go to the mall LMFAO. but for now you'll just have to deal with me hoping and praying with every single bone in my body that we get to hang out next year so i can take you on a full on tour of asian food so you don't have to press your hand to the disco window every time i share a pic. you deserve all that and more. please keep being you because i think the entire earth would crumble if we ever lost your levelheadedness and perfect tsundere balance. i love you a whoooole lot annapi, happy new year.
Ara: BELOVED ARA, KEEPER OF THE BEAR CELLS!!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEARRRR AND HERE'S TO ANOTHER YEAR OF YOU CAUSING ME ABSURD PAIN AS I JUST TRY TO CHASE AFTER YOU LMAO. i hope that you've had a good year - i know that things have been busy with work, but hopefully you get a chance to relax and recharge soon!! and more than that i hope that we DO get a chance to reunite at fanime so that you can once again stop me from being my own worst enemy, that'd be nice LMFAO HAHA. but honestly thank you for always being such a truly reliable and kind friend. you've been patient through absolutely everything, and encouraging through even more - you're the type of steadfast person that anyone would be lucky to have in their lives. so i hope that your coming year is just as stable and calming, and you have a 2022 that brings you nothing but happiness!!
Ari: ARIIIII, it was so good to see you again this year!!!!!! i keep crying that i managed to see you and ray before the panini, and i was able to squeeze in a trip to see you again just a little over a year later. it's always so fun to yell with you over swords and MIURA and everything under the sun - i truly can't thank you enough for letting your auntie energy flow when yining and i came to visit. you always are so kind to everyone you meet, even if i hope that everyone you meet isn't as concerning as we are. you're a fantastic friend, and it always just replenishes my spirits every time we get to chat or hang out. i know that this year has had its ups and downs, and i can only hope that soon you'll be able to get more time to relax and take it easy. always thinking of you and your family, may 2022 be kind ♥
Becks: BECKS ALREADY CHARGED INTO THE NEW YEAR WAY AHEAD OF US!!!! i hope that it's being kind to you!! honestly becks i'm really happy for you that you've gotten to transition into a more wfh job and in general have gotten to adjust to a lifestyle that seems fun and satisfying for you!! thank you for being such a great and fun friend to me this year just as you have been every year. I TOO HOPE FOR THE DAY THAT YOU CAN WIN THE LOTTERY AND COME TO HANG OUT WITH US IN THE STATES, fingers crossed that when travel becomes safe again then our paths can cross!! but you always have hilarious updates whenever we chat, and i love getting to know general updates about your life regardless of what it's about. may 2022 only bring even better things your way, happy new year!!
Biscuit: i keep laughing at my own fucking joke, fuck
anyway happy new year. once a year i let myself be nice to you because the last time we were nice to each other more consistently and saw each other more than once a year, the entire earth just fucking shattered LMFAOSDFLKJ. but for just today i'll wish a happy new year to you, one of my favorite people, who also just happens to be in the race for my most hated people at all fucking times LMFAOOOOO. i truly think that at this point you are more cryptid than person, and you're very welcome for what we both know is definitely a compliment. you are an absolute terror whirlwind of a creecher, to the point that everyone just starts screaming when your name is uttered, and i think that's very powerful of you. but i also think that you're an incredible friend who is endlessly supportive even tho you also laugh at me when i end up going too hard. but i also know that i wouldn't trade our friendship for anything, even if it turns us both into bears. after all, i wouldn't agree to sit behind a table and cut stickers all day with just anyone!! fingers crossed to our reunion in 2022 and hope that we don't take out too many people in the process, but it will be an understandable sacrifice. i love you, you fucking nerd, and hope you have a ridiculous new year.
Blair: DEAR BLAIR HAPPY NEW YEAR, PLEASE TELL ME HOW THE FUTURE IS!!!! i can't tell you anything about my hopes for 2022 because you're already there i'm losing it. OKAY BUT LET ME AT LEAST TRY - i hope that your 2022 is full of laughter and light, and that you manage to do a lot of things that make you happy, and that the enstars eng release treats izumi and tsumugi well. LMFAO. thank you so much for being my friend through the years, and it cracks me up that we still are more or less in the same fandom space all these years later. that's pretty amazing to me! i appreciate you always being the sena to my moricchi, and being patient as i continue to fail to grasp what your wizards are all about. but knowing figaro is into milfs is enough for me. PLEASE BE WELL IN 2022, AND KNOW THAT I ADORE YOU A WHOLE LOT!!
Boba: DARLING BELOVED BOBAAAA AAAAA honestly i'm so glad that our friendship has elevated over the past few years from "friends who share a game and tag sometimes" to "RP NO LONGER MATTERS, WE NOW HAVE AN EDM CONCERT BUDDY FOR LIFE" HAHAHA. but no, in all sincerity, i'm so glad to know you and glad that we've still stuck together through the years. you are always such a delight to know, one of the funniest people that i have ever met, and there are moments in my life that i will fondly look back on (madeon 2020, porter robinson 2021) and feel relieved to know that i got to experience them with you by my side. you're a true friend to me, and i'm so lucky that i know you. i hope that your 2022 is warm and kind, and i hope that we only manage to make it to more concerts in the coming years. MADEON HAS TO HAVE A CONCERT HERE AGAIN, HE LIVES HERE???? LMAO but may your new year bring you nothing but good vibes and bops!!!!
Britt: HAPPY NEW YEAR BRITT BRITT STYLE!!! I HOPE THAT YOU'RE HAVING A SAFE AND JOLLY TIME as much as we can with all this rain omg. but i miss you dearly already!!! i'm so glad that i've been able to see you now and then this year, as much as we could with rona, but i hope that we get to hang out again sometime soon!! i do love that you've joined us in genshin hell so that we can at least chat that way haha. but it's always fun to share fandoms with you - i love the sheer excitement you bring to everything you do, whether it be games or food!! you've always been one of the kindest people i've known and honestly as the years pass i keep thinking about our 5 year plan LMFAO. fingers crossed that we can still manage to do more traveling and food tasting together when it's safe to!!! happy new year, thank you for being my friend!!!!
Cola: HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE COLAAAAA, I HOPE THAT YOU'RE HAVING A GOOD ONE!! honestly i keep thinking about how you managed to make everyone in seasons into a lux stan and then league of legends then proceeded to make an incredibly fantastic show that captured everyone's hearts. me just like "wow that's cola's impact" HAHA. but i hope that you have been doing well as things are opening up again! i know that you got to see porter robinson's show around your birthday i think and that's already a fantastic celebration in and of itself. i hope that 2022 only continues to bring you fantastic adventures just like that!! thank you very much for being my friends over the years - you've always been such a delight in every chat i've gotten to share with you and i miss it already!! may we reunite again in 2022!
Crystal: i didn't bring this up to you directly but given that i'm watching a luxiem stream in the background as i type these up i need you to know your vox akuma tweets were the funniest thing in the world when i first saw them and i appreciate you crystal. IN GENERAL I JUST truly appreciate how hilarious you are, and how you are truly a reigning monarch of memes on twitter whether it be your bsd, fgo, or apparently luxiem ones. your excitement for your canons is infectious and that has been proven time and time again as i continue to peruse through different fate/ canons just because you love them so much. you're so talented in everything you do crystal, and i feel like i don't express that to you enough!! thank you so much for a year of laughter and all the times that we've gotten to chat - you always have a kind word to say about everyone and it truly warms my soul. i hope your 2022 is restful and fun!!
Dearest: HERE WE ARE AGAIN, AS WE ARE EVERY SINGLE YEAR!!!!!!! i don't know how long this tradition has been going at this point, and i don't know how much longer it's gonna go for - but i honestly count my blessings every year that i still get to call you one of my closest friends. we've been through so much together dearest - so much schooling, so many games, so many different life milestones - and i am endlessly grateful for it. i think i've said it plenty of times already that i don't think i would be the same person that i am today without having known you, and i consider myself so very fortunate all the time. you're so important to me, whether we talk about writing or genshin or just random life things, and you're a truly irreplaceable friend and confidant. thank you for being a part of my life, and thank you in advance for all the adventures to come. love you so much, happy new year!
Eli: SWEET ELI!!!! honestly eli you're such a delight wherever you go. i want to start by saying that i'm so glad that you managed to find a job that you not only enjoy but also clearly treasures you too. i hope you get to spend a lot of time there and pursue your passions!! but also i want to say that you are an inspiration - i really admire the ways that you move forward in life to chase after what you want, and i also especially admire your veracity for reading. being able to talk to you about books has been so much and it's been absolutely hilarious to start this impromptu book club with pixi and yaywon. you have such incredible taste and i'm so excited to keep going through your recs - thanks for going on this journey with me and i'm so excited to keep sharing more of these things we love with each other!! fingers crossed that our paths cross again in 2022, i'd love very much to give you a hug in 3d!!!
Flurry: FLURRYYYY, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! it's been such a whirlwind this past year and i know that there are some things that have been rough, but honestly i hope you know that it was such a delight to get to meet you this year it was one of the highlights for me. and more than that i hope that you know that you're always welcome to take refuge with us - being able to spend time with you is always a joy and you more than deserve the break at all times. you're such a hard worker and i know that you do a lot for others, i hope that soon you get some time to relax and recharge for yourself!! i've missed being able to share games and chats with you, but fingers crossed that we will be able to reunite sometime in 2022. you've really become so ingrained in our community that you're another person that i'm shocked that i've only known for like 2 years - but here's to inevitably many more!! may you have a truly fantastic 2022!!
Francy: honestly sometimes i think that i should start your note with an apology LMFAOOOOO. because i can say with confidence that at this point, considering that we managed 2 different traps together this year despite the fact that we live in totally different states and we also met up in 2 more totally different states, you truly put up with me more than anyone else. and that deserves a medal all on its own. but as is, all i can say is thank you. thank you for being a hilarious traveling partner who will end up struggling through both umbrellas and doors with me. thank you for being a fantastic rp partner that will put up with my ridiculous schedule and random disappearances on our psls even tho we both know i love them very much. thank you for being a friend who is always encouraging and always patient, even when everything in my head feels like a whirlwind. i don't know what i would've done over the past few years without you - probably missed out on a lot of really fun moments and a lot of laughs. but i know that you are truly growing and taking steps forward (even in a panini!!) congratulations again on your new job, and i will wait eagerly to see if you join me in the put known as grad school HAHA. whatever it is that you do next, i know that you will more than succeed - you will flourish and beat everything else into submission. that's just the kind of powerful person that i think you are. love you a whole lot franchy - have a happy new year!
Gigi: there's a moment where i have no idea if you remember it but right before the holiday party riley was going to fill up the flask and you were SO CONCERNED ABOUT SPILLING that you walked with them to the kitchen and all i could hear was you freaking out about spilling vodka in the flask and i need you to know this memory is going to live in my head rentfree for years to come LMFAOSDFLAKDJF. but honestly gigi i'm so glad that you've gotten to know my friends better!! you fit in so well with them and it's truly amazing to see you in your natural extrovert element. you and nat moving closer has been such a delight and i'm so so so glad that we've gotten to hang out more over the year even with miss rona around. you're a great, supportive friend and always so fun to be around. happy new year, and i look forward to spending more time with you! boba trip soon!!
Hei: SWEET CURSED HEI SLDKFJ i keep laughing, i'm so glad that the murder sphere brought us closer even if it also comes with a healthy dose of suspicion on my part because i'm always afraid of whatever shitpost you might bring to my door. but i think that's truly just evidence of what a fun, spontaneous person you are and why i'm so glad that we've gotten to know each other better over the course of the year. i already miss your curses and shitposts, but i know that you're definitely bringing a wild dose of energy wherever you go. you're an excellent writer and a great person to bounce ideas off of - i still hope that if you ever decide to go for an omniscient reader mg, you understand that i will be first in line to jump on that. i hope that your new year is fun and relaxing, and you get a chance to do whatever you want to do!!!
Jae: MY BELOVED JAE!!! honestly i'm so excited for you and your future - i know that you've been working so hard for so long, and i hope that soon you manage to get not only some stability but also a break because you've earned it!! i love that you're always willing to reach out to me and also spoil me and my sister with your kindness sdlfkjsdf. truly even now whenever i watch demon slayer, zenitsu continues to be a favorite character for us both, and that's truly your power. you always bring so much earnestness and energy to what you love, whether it be your canons or your projects or your friends, and i think that's one of the things that i admire most about you. happy new year, and i hope that maybe we'll cross paths when it's safer to!!! until then, please take care and rest a lot when you get the chance!!
Jan: DEAR JAN honestly every year that i get to spend with you is such a gift and i always feel endlessly lucky that we've been friends for as long as we have. i know that you've made a lot of moves this year - your own condo!!!! - and i can only hope that they bring you a bit more joy each and every step! i don't know anyone who is as unbelievably talented, patient, and thorough as you are when it comes to being able to create situations that are as enjoyable for other people as possible. but i hope that you're able to take some of that skill and turn it on yourself and chase after what makes you truly happy!! i truly treasure you as one of my closest and most steadfast friends, and i only look forward to knowing you even longer than this. so fingers crossed that we get to meet irl in 2022 so i can give you the hug that i've been holding back for like. a decade!! i love you jan, and happy new year!!
Kami: DARLING KAMI i miss you so!!!! even still, seeing your little updates on twitter are really heartwarming and i'm glad to see that you get a chance to go to the ghibli museum or out on a trail every now and then. the panini has been a rough time on us but i miss you a whole lot, and am just glad that you're finding moments of joy out in the world!! every time that i manage to get a little further with my exercise journey, i think about you and the inspiration that you are. fingers crossed that when things are safer we'll get a chance to go out and run together like we said! ♥ for now, i just hope you're staying warm and dry for the holiday season, and i'll count the days until we get to hang out again!
Kia: KIA, THE MOST PROLIFIC OF ALL MY FRIENDS!!! honestly we've talked about this before but i truly admire your ability to keep writing and meeting all your deadlines and expectations. i know you said it's habit building, but even with all my obsessions over habit building i still can't keep up the way you do. you're such a phenomenal writer and i don't think we all ever grasp the sheer extent of what you do for us each year when you take requests and learn full canons in order to fulfill writing requests. you're an incredible person with a lot of skill and talent, and i can't be grateful enough that i have another friend who is here to wade awkwardly through the world of original fiction with. may we both have an incredibly successful and satisfying 2022!! i'm so glad that we get to do it together.
Kes: literally every time aki and i ever think about fanime, we always think about how you put up with us so much. and i want to say this but at the same time i'm also like "kes also says really cursed shit sometimes and we all just roll with it because she's cute and nice about it" LMFAOASDLFKJ but honestly kes!! being able to just be goofy and chat with you about anything, whether it be swords or just whatever topic comes up on plurk that day, always adds a sprinkle of something fun and gratifying to my day. thank you for always giving me another reason to smile, and i hope that i can even slightly return that to you! may we continue to have a great friendship through the years, and get a chance to see each other again sometime soon!!! happy new year!
Kosy: MY BAE, MY BELOVED, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! gonna be honest with you i keep thinking about how enstars eng is coming next year and how clearly i can still remember our chats over LINE where i was like "your fav isn't going to be in the first op but it's okay, i know you're going to love him" and here you are with leo tsukinaga as your forever boy years later LMFAOSDFKLJSDF. I CAN'T SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE I STILL HAVE A CHIAKI ICON ON TWITTER SO YOU CAN'T BE TOO MAD AT ME, OKAY. but i think that it's funny how some things truly seem to last forever and i think our friendship is definitely one of those things. you always make me smile every single time we chat, and i'm so glad that we're still in touch over some of the silliest things in the world. but i love you a whole lot and i hope that 2022 is even better to you. (did you prereg for enstars. if you did i will too.)
Lisa: LISAAAAAA first off congrats on finding your own place!! i hope that your move went smoothly, and your new place fulfills everything you could've possibly wanted!! i'm so glad that we've gotten to spend more time together over this year in the assorted mg scenarios and stayed in touch over the years!! we didn't get to catch you in new york but fingers crossed that next time when the panini doesn't strike quite as hard, we'll be able to hang out again! you always bring such a hilarious spirit with you wherever you go, and i hope that your adventures in 2022 are even more fulfilling for you! happy new year, keep kicking ass!
Lowe: UH WELL FIRST OFF LOWE CONGRATS ON BEING ABLE TO FIND A PLACE AND MOVE IN!!!! i know the process has been really stressful, but honestly i admire you so much in the strides that you're making in your life and i hope that the adjustment ultimately brings you a lot of peace and rest once things are settled better. you're doing something truly amazing for yourself and i hope that you get to reap the benefits soon. but also i want to say that i'm so very happy to be able to have gotten to know you over this year, not only because i get to meet someone else who shares the Boss Baby title with me but also in general that you are a truly hilarious, talented, and incredible person. thank you so much for being my friend this year, and i look forward to many more with you!!! have a good 2022, and i hope that rest comes for you soon.
Maple: MAPLE SWEET MAPLE happy new year!!!! honestly i'm surprised when i think that i've only known you for about 2 years because it feels so much longer. you're like a constant, reassuring friend who's always around to talk to - and that presence just makes me, and countless others i'm sure, feel better each day. i know that the past few months have been Interesting(tm) in the way that only 2021 really can be, but i'm so glad that you got through it and are recovering well!! MAKE YOUR GOOD HEALTH PROGRESS ONLY CONTINUE FURTHER INTO 2022!!!! i miss chatting with you and everyone so much, but i know that it'll make our reunion at the next mg i can make all the sweeter. i'll be running at you more for sure!! until then, please continue to have a lovely new year!!
Marie: WELL MISS MARIE, I MUST BEGIN WITH THE FACT THAT YOUR ART IS TRULY A MARVEL. i can't begin to tell you how delighted i am that i've gotten to work with you over the past year, and seeing the rest of your commissions as they come out is amazing every single step of the way. your work is fantastic and i'm glad that you've managed to find more time for art this year just like you said you would! and i hope that your time for your passions only grows in the new year, even if you might be joining me in graduate student hell LMFAO. but you've always been the type of person to just go go go and chase after what you want - and i think that's one of the most admirable things about you. i know that this past week has been a rocky end to the new year, but i hope you also know just as certainly that all your friends are here to support you in any way possible. you're an amazing person who deserves tor receive just as much as you give to the world - happy new year, may 2022 be even better to you!!
Nat: OH NATTO, WHAT A HECKIN' YEAR. so much has changed!! you moved to a new place (so close!!) and switched jobs and honestly i keep thinking that if there's anyone that i could've introduced my wild college friends to and watch them become coworkers with, i'm glad that it was you. i know that you've been stressed with all these changes and shifting things, but i also hope that soon you'll be able to reach the answers and goals that you've set! you are a person who i've always admired and thought to have endless possibility, and there's no one i'd want to fangirl over spiderverse with more. SO I WILL CONTINUE TO CROSS MY FINGERS AND WISH ON EVERY STAR THAT YOU GET TO CHASE YOUR DREAMS AND DO WHAT YOU WANT - you're an incredible person and i hope you never forget it! happy new year, and see you soon!!
Niji (& Iki): SINCE IKI DOESN'T HAVE A PLURK PLEASE PASS ON MY GREETINGS FOR THE NEW YEAR TO HIM AS WELL NIJI!!!! but also congratulations on your new job!!! honestly niji i'm just so happy for you that you've gotten to spend time working on what you prioritize in life, and then getting to work on all these projects that you love so much. i think that you're a truly incredible person, and i'm so glad for the way that you were able to focus and prioritize on your happiness instead of listening to any other messaging. it's clearly paying off, and i'm so incredibly glad for you. i hope that 2022 brings you so much joy and fun and rewards for whatever you choose to pursue next!! thank you for always being such an uplifting and kind friend who always finds the time to cheer on others - you're an inspiration. have a lovely 2022, and i hope that you and iki have a good one!!
Nu: NUUUUUUU ONE MORE YEAR STUCK WITH ME NUUUUUUU LMAO happy nu year!!!!! i'm gonna get very sappy at you because i truly think that you're one of my dearest friends - i really appreciate the way that we can go a few weeks without talking but then once we do it's like the floodgates open and then i'm up until 3 am talking to you as we blaze through like 7 different topics in one convo LMFAOSDFLKJ. those types of friendships are some of my favorites and it's why i feel very happy and honored to say that we're friends. you are a truly hilarious and kind person, but also i know you're exactly the type of person who will be honest and take no shit from anyone LMFAO. that's the type of energy that we all need going into the new year to be honest. FINGERS CROSSED THAT WE WILL FINALLY BE ABLE TO HANG OUT IN PERSON NEXT YEAR and you will probably snipe me on sight but i will accept and welcome it. LOVE YOU NUUUU, HAVE A WONDERFUL 2022!!!! THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF MINE.
Pazu: PAZU IT'S BEEN SOOOO GOOD TO MEET YOU THIS YEAR!!! honestly it's funny because francy told me about you and it was just such a delight to meet you for myself. truly you a connoisseur of fandom with excellent taste in tales and girls, and tales girls. even though we're in a pretty tough timezone match, i still loved all the tags and threads that i got to do with you this year, and it made every attempt so very worth it!! i hope that you continue to have a good time in japan, and i can't wait until we get to share a game together again!! until then i am sure that you are just continuing to flex your braincell for the whole game. have a very big brain new year, and a wonderful 2022!!
Pearl: LOVELY PEARLY!!! honestly one of the greatest gifts of this year has been getting the chance to talk to you more. i'm really glad that we've been able to connect more on twitter since i've come back, and also i really can't thank you enough for sharing link click with me as i've only continued to share it with my other friends, laughs. YOU'RE SUCH A WONDERFUL PERSON AND ALL YOUR COSPLAY PHOTOS ARE BEYOND GORGEOUS - fingers crossed that when miss rona departs and i get a chance to visit the philipines again maybe our paths can cross!! until now it's always a delight to hear from you and you've made my 2021 very wonderful just by being yourself. may 2022 be just as joyous!!! i hope you have a great one.
Pixi: HAPPY NEW YEAR PIXI, THANKS FOR A WILD RIDE OF A YEAR!!!! I HOPE THAT CHILDE GETS ANOTHER RERUN AND THEN AN ELECTRO RERUN IN 2022!! i'm only halfway kidding.... LMFAO. but in all honesty, it's truly been a wild year and i think the most consistent thing about it has been your childe love which is such a hysterical thing. but congrats on making it through your program and beginning on your journey through the world of editing!!!!! honestly i'm not surprised at all - you've always had such a passion for writing and story, and i think always about that massive bakuten fic you wrote and what an inspiration it is. i'm so excited for you and all the stories that you'll get to help craft in the coming year! thank you for always being the voice of screaming reason in our meme hurricanes, and sorry for all the headaches in advance! i love you a whole lot, and hope we get to hang out again in 2022. have a wonderful one!!!!
Prince: PRINCE I MET YOU AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR AND I'M SO ENDLESSLY GRATEFUL FOR THAT LMFAOASDFLJ honestly you're such a wonderful, hilarious person. i'm so glad that i got to meet you through yaywon and the chaos of a meme together, and hopefully we'll get to play with each other more consistently in 2022! don't ask me how yet tho i'm not sure. but i just know that i find you to be incredibly fun and sweet to talk to, and i know that there have been some hiccups throughout the year but i hope that at least lately life has been easier on you because you deserve it. i hope that your 2022 is full of laughter and kindness, because you really don't deserve anything less. happy new year!!
Ray: RAY IT WAS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN THIS YEAR!!!! it really does crack me up that you and ari were some of the people that i saw just before the panini hit and i'm glad that you were also some of the people that i got to see again when things got even slightly back to normal. it's always a great time to hang out with you, and i'm hoping that your 2022 only gets even better! i know that this year has been stressful between work and other things, so i hope that you manage to get some time to rest amidst all your accolades and all the great recognition of the work you do. i know you always work super hard whenever you have a project, and i hope that you get some time to destress and decompress where possible! perhaps one day we will even be able to find time where our de-stressing overlaps and we get to see each other at con! IT'S 2022, WE CAN HOPE FOR WHATEVER WE WANT! regardless thank you again so much for being a friend to me this year, and here's to many, many more!!
Ryza: i'm going to be honest ryza i keep thinking about when i was in 2week chat for no more than 2 days and yet when we were both in the same place it was just constantly pointing guns at each other and endless roasts LMFAOSDFLKJ. it was sooooo good to have a place to chat and hang out with you again, and i'll keep all my fingers crossed that we get to be in the same game sometime in 2022 for much longer! i'll pummel my schedule into a pulp in order to make sure that it can happen!!! but for now i'm glad that everyone else has gotten a chance to meet you and all the hilarity that you bring along with you everywhere that you go. you're a truly fantastic and fun person to know, and i'm so grateful we've been friends through the years! happy new year, and may your 2022 be amazing!!
Sib: SIB MADE MONEY MOVES THIS YEAR OOHHHHHH honestly sibbu i think the fact that you got to move this year is truly amazing!! i know that you've been shifting and getting used to it, but i really admire you for being able to make that step! i think that when the rest of the world has stilled and a lot of people have been struggling to get back to their lives, being able to make such a choice to change your environment is amazing! i'm sad that i don't know if we'll be able to hang out next year based on the con schedule, but considering that i'm thinking of going to boston myself as a possible place to go study or work, i'll be sure to let you know if i end up in your neck of the woods one way or another!! in general, it's always fun to talk to you about our fandom things, and your descent into jojo has been hilarious too. have a wonderful 2022, and i hope that it's full of (checks notes) stands????? LMFAO
Sipp: SIPP I FEEL LIKE YOU ARE SIMPLY MY SIBLING IN ACADEMIA. i know that our fields are very different but every time you mention something about classes and schedules i want to grip your shoulder in understanding. that said i hope that you're doing well and i'm so excited for both of us being free soon!! and then when you're free, i hope you get to spend a nice, long time resting and recovering in whatever way possible! i saw that you might be joining us for fanime if it happens, and when that happens please understand that i will simply be running to you and giving you the biggest hug. BE STRONG, YOU'RE ALMOST AT THE END, AND I'M ALWAYS CHEERING YOU ON!!!! happy new year, and may 2022 be kind and prosperous!!
Sisi: SWEET SISI!! CONGRATULATIONS ON MAKING IT THROUGH 2021!! i know that the panini has been an interesting time for those of us who feel like we have to keep making progress or we end up in existential dread, but i will provide the friendly reminder that you already have plenty of worth as a person just by being yourself. you're a kind person who puts a lot of work into what they do, and i am crossing all of my fingers that you get to reap some of your rewards in 2022!! MANIFESTING A NEW SATISFYING JOB FOR SISI! but honestly, thank you for always reaching out to me and thinking of me even as i've stepped a little further away from the murder circuit. your thoughtfulness really means so much and always warms my heart. have a wonderful new year and give your fur babies some smoochies for me!!
Siz: SIZ IT WAS JUST SO GOOD TO MEET YOU IN PERSON THIS YEAR, getting a chance to see friends irl is always grand but i always treasure first meetings a whole lot. i finally had a face to put to the expert way that you manage to fool all of us over text, and some of the funniest tags i've ever gotten. i can only hope that it was even a fraction as fun for you as it was for me, and i hope we get chances to hang out again in the future!! thank you, as always, for being your amazing self in everything that you do. whether it be discussing mg stuff or just shooting the shit, i already miss having an excuse to talk to you more. but i wish you well until next time we get to share a space besides the aspirational fanime server!! i hope that your new year has a lot of fun and relaxation in store for you - thank you for your friendship through 2021, and hopefully many years to come! ♥
Snow: HAPPY NEW YEAR SNOWWWWWWW!!!!! what a year it's been! so much cannibalism, gay nonsense, and cannibalistic gay nonsense this year! i think that's accurate. LMFAO. it's been so good to spend even more time with you on the murder circuit this year, even tho i'm sad that i've had to miss your games. MAYBE NEXT TIME. either way, i know that you're doing your best to juggle all the demands on you and i think that's commendable on its own. i hope that whatever you take on next in the new year, it's a lot more restful and you get a chance to breathe! you've certainly earned a chance to kick back and relax for a while. may your 2022 be nice and peaceful, and a little bit of a hellscape! thank you for always being so fun to chat with and open to talk to and get cr with ♥
Spoon: SPOON DID YOU KNOW WE MET THIS YEAR???? THIS TIME LAST YEAR YOU WERE MERELY A MYTH TO ME, A RUMOR OF BELIAL-SHAPED WHISPERS. THAT'S SO FUNNY TO THINK ABOUT SDLFKJSDF anyway thank you so much for not hating me even after i fucking called you soup and still occasionally nearly make the same mistake. i would have understood if you lasted an endless grudge, but instead you just accept the bullying and also bully me in return and i think that's what true friendship is. thank you for honestly being such a hysterical person, who says such ridiculous things that aki and i have discussed how you deserve your own merch line, and for making my life so much brighter as a result. you're a gift to every single person who's ever gotten to meet you, and it is so important to met that you know and understand that. happy new year, and hopefully with the reopened border francy and i will show up at your doorstep at some point!! have a wonderful 2022, you're stuck with me!
Sunny: SWEET SUNNY i feel like every time that i might be looking for an encouraging word or someone to chat with, you're always reliably there. thank you for being such a good friend to me over the years even though we don't rp together all that much anymore - i think that's the sort of friendship that i've really come to treasure. as we progress into the new year, i will keep all my fingers and toes crossed for you and your teaching so that your life can progress exactly the way you want! you've worked so hard over the years and are more than deserving of all the rewards that life can give you. 2022 will be your year!! i will manifest it right here and now!! so happy new year, and thank you for being my friend!
Teej: well first off all congrats on a ) new job b ) wfh time with bnuuy and c ) endwalker even if i barely understand what's going on in the last one!! i know that the transition's been funky teej - and also i hope that you're feeling better!! - but i'm really glad that you're getting a chance to do something new that doesn't require being out on the road all the time. you've always been fantastic about changing your path based on your needs, and i think that takes a lot of courage, confidence, and competence with everything that you do. it's been such an honor to be your friend through the years and getting to see you grow and do whatever you'd like!! it was great fun to see you this past year and i hope that our paths cross again in 2022 - even if you might have to hide your phone to do your cyoa rolls LMFAO
Tori: i can't believe the chaos of tori has returned to us in murdergames and i didn't even get to enjoy it tch. BUT REGARDLESS, welcome back to us tori and i'm so glad that you've returned!!! honestly it's been wild keeping up with your plurks even when we weren't playing in games together, but i am unbelievably glad that you were able to spend more of your holidays with family and out of the US, even if i'm sure travel was a beast all its own. i hope that your coming year gets to bring you even more good news and a lot of fun times together!! happy new year, and i only hope we get to hang out more in the coming year!!
Ty: NEW PLACE, NEW YEAR, SAME FANTASTIC TY!!! gosh i feel like so many people have been able to make moves this year but i'm especially excited for yours!! i know that you were really eager to move out for a long time, and i'm glad that you finally got the chance to! fingers crossed that maybe sometime in the next decade i'll get to see your place LMFAO. i'm glad that we got to see each other sometimes in the past year, but hopefully we'll get to hang out even more in the coming year! regardless, thank you as always for your friendship!! it's been a lot of fun to hang out with you this year as always, and i hope that 2022 will just give us more opportunities to chill ♥ and i hope that it also brings you everything that you could hope for, whether it be in fandom, your writing, or anything else in life!! happy new year, ty!
Yaywon: YAYWON I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO START WITH YOU BUT FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO HOPE THAT YOUR 2022 DOESN'T INVOLVE ANY FUCKIN WILD GOOFY DISAPPEARANCES INTO THE ABYSS SLDKFJSDLKFJ i am hereby manifesting your good health and a whole lot of wealth. but honestly i truly wish you so much joy in the coming year, if only to make up for the fact that you are a constant source of smiles and laughter for everyone who you meet. i have no idea if you do it on purpose, but you really manage to be an incredibly warm and deliriously charming person, even if it comes with an unhealthy amount of goofy memes. you are someone who i am glad that i have only grown closer to over the past few years, and i hope you understand that now i have absolutely no plans on letting you go. thank you for being my friend and a support through so many bumpy times - you're so dear to me that words are hard to grasp. happy new year, i love you a whole lot!
Zara: oh my darling beloved zara!!!! gives you a giant hug. i know that this year has been a rough one, especially lately, but i just want you to know that i always love and support you through absolutely everything. you're one of my dearest friends, and someone whose friendship that i have only continued to treasure throughout the years. i just want you to know that no matter what, you can always count on me if you ever need or want for anything at all. i always want to be here for you in every single way that i can, whether it's trying to send you things that make you smile or do anything to give you any peace of mind at all. you and your family are always in my thoughts, and i hope that the coming year is much kinder to all of you. ♥♥♥ sending you all my love and support as always, have a wonderful new year and a fantastic 2022!!! xiao is coming and i WILL send you money again to c1 him if you want to
Zia: i don't know how to start with this considering that i just heard that riku was announced dead like 3 minutes ago and my thought was OH NO POOR KAIRI AND SORA LMFAOSDFLKJ BUT I HOPE THAT YOU'VE BEEN HAVING A FUN 2021, ZIA!!!! honestly i think a lot about the fact that i added you for cradle and how lucky i am to have stayed friends with you ever since!! thank you for always being an engaging and friendly person in every single chance i've gotten to hang out with you - i already miss the easy, breezy, meme-y conversation that comes from being in the same chat as each other!! but fingers crossed that WITH THE BORDER OPEN we'll be able to recreate some of those convos in person in 2022 at FANIME!! i'm going to keep manifesting and hoping that it happens. BUT THANK YOU, AS ALWAYS, FOR BEING SUCH A WONDERFUL FRIEND AND PERSON TO GENERALLY BE AROUND!! have a wonderful new year!!
big not3 :manhole: :pinched_fingers: : help i keep laughing i nearly called us pope perfect. anyway i will put a separate note here as well because i think that we are like. a few years deep into this friendship now and it is so endlessly fucking chaotic even tho i hate that we were in a fucking channel about feet for 9 months. why. anyway - let me put here specifically that i love you both very much, and i love this constellation of our friendship and it is so important to me that it's hard to really articulate. i think that we have a terrible, hilarious balance between the three of us that sends me into a delirium but i also feel so lucky to have. thank you for being a place where i can throw in every single inane thought that i have throughout the day and i know that i feel safe enough to not be judged. honestly i will admit that i think that i have a pretty easily lonely personality, and it doesn't take much for me to be sad about not having anyone to talk to normally - but despite the fact that we are in quarantine and most of my social life has been cut up, i've so very rarely ever felt lonely so long as i had our server to fall back to. it is truly a blessing and a gift to know that some of my closest friends are nothing more than just a click and a few keystrokes away, and i don't have to be anyone but me. so thank you both for giving me that space, and for being so dear to me. i love you so very, very much and hopefully we can all actually meet in 3d soon without us having to fucking break into anna's house and get lost in the woods. who's to say.
happy new year!
Aki: every sINGLE YEAR i go "i can't believe you're at the top" and this year i fix it. please refer to Biscuit entry for your real note thanks
Al: AL CONGRATULATIONS ON MAKING IT TO 2022!!! i know that you've been busy this year, but you've been kicking ass all around! congratulations on making it most of the way through your program, and also being able to launch a successful game on top of it! YOU'RE DOING GREAT. even if i don't always comment on plurks please know that i'm always cheering you on, and i'm glad that you've been flourishing through everything. i know that even when things are rough that you'll be able to get through them, and i look forward to seeing all the new and exciting ways that you'll surely kick ass in 2022! my comrade in academia and job hunting. fingers crossed that we both accomplish all our dreams just as we've planned!! i'm cheering you on, al!!
Alli: KEEPER OF BIG ITTY AQUAMAN!!!!!! honestly allí i consider myself very lucky and fortunate indeed to be able to call you a friend. you are such a funny, hilarious person, and i think the year of 2021 saw all that you've done for others and rewarded you with c1 itto along with his signature weapon and it was right to do so (i'm only mostly kidding) LMFAOASDLFKJ. but it was soooo fun to get to meet you in person this year and even if we can't meet up in fanime next year, i hope that our paths will find a way to cross one way or another!!! you're a gift of a person, and i always leave a conversation with you with plenty of laughter in my heart and a smile on my face, and i think you deserve the same from your life everyday!! so have a wonderful 2022, and thank you for making my 2021 so fun!
Alice: honestly Alice it's so nice to see your plurks and talk to you about writing and craft and things because you're such an admirable writer and a great person with so many skills and talents sdlfkjsdf I THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU JUST STARTED TRANSLATING THINGS ON A WHIM and then you kept going with it!!! and similarly i can't thank you enough for your willingness to read over my project and give me feedback on it because sometimes writing is such a solitary activity, but whether it be chatting with you about craft or just reading your plurks knowing that you're also working through the ups and downs of learning how to improve writing makes it me feel better knowing that i'm going through it with a friend. i look forward to reading whatever you produce and being able to return the favor, and also in general i'm always in love with your writing and how fantastic your prose is. may the new year be kind to you and i hope that you only find room to flourish with all your dreams!!!
Andie: on the one hand i'm like "my god i haven't gotten to talk to andie in a while" and on the other i'm also like "honestly that's fine bc whenever we do talk it's like no time has passed whatsoever" LMFAOSDFLKJ that said congrats on ffxiv wedding (was that this year, i think it was this year) and hONESTLY I'M REALLY HOPING THAT I GET TO SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!! i won't lie i liken our relationship to legitimately that of cousins of the same filipino family that see each other semi-regularly at family functions and whatnot but still manage to shoot the shit online. LMFAO. so fingers crossed that we get to catch each other next year, whether it be at fanime or some other random gathering we manage to show up at together!!! congratulations on leaving your family home (hell yea) and i hope that 2022 only brings you more excellent developments and joy ♥
Anna: MY DARLING ANNAPIIIIII, i will never forget the past 2 years for cucking me so hard in my chance to meet you irl and see for myself that you aren't a tall asian clown like we headcanoned. but in all seriousness, thank you for always being there for me. thank you for always being gentle with me when i'm losing my goddamn mind. thank you for every horrible cursed thirsty comment that makes me absolutely fucking die and glad i don't work in an office anymore because i wouldn't be able to explain in a sfw way why i'm laughing. you are a gift and a treasure and a haunting meme ghost and i mean that in the best way possible. you work so hard constantly and deal with so much bullshit all the time, and all i want is for you to get a break - and also to win the lotto so you can move somewhere where you don't have to drive 2 hours to go to the mall LMFAO. but for now you'll just have to deal with me hoping and praying with every single bone in my body that we get to hang out next year so i can take you on a full on tour of asian food so you don't have to press your hand to the disco window every time i share a pic. you deserve all that and more. please keep being you because i think the entire earth would crumble if we ever lost your levelheadedness and perfect tsundere balance. i love you a whoooole lot annapi, happy new year.
Ara: BELOVED ARA, KEEPER OF THE BEAR CELLS!!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEARRRR AND HERE'S TO ANOTHER YEAR OF YOU CAUSING ME ABSURD PAIN AS I JUST TRY TO CHASE AFTER YOU LMAO. i hope that you've had a good year - i know that things have been busy with work, but hopefully you get a chance to relax and recharge soon!! and more than that i hope that we DO get a chance to reunite at fanime so that you can once again stop me from being my own worst enemy, that'd be nice LMFAO HAHA. but honestly thank you for always being such a truly reliable and kind friend. you've been patient through absolutely everything, and encouraging through even more - you're the type of steadfast person that anyone would be lucky to have in their lives. so i hope that your coming year is just as stable and calming, and you have a 2022 that brings you nothing but happiness!!
Ari: ARIIIII, it was so good to see you again this year!!!!!! i keep crying that i managed to see you and ray before the panini, and i was able to squeeze in a trip to see you again just a little over a year later. it's always so fun to yell with you over swords and MIURA and everything under the sun - i truly can't thank you enough for letting your auntie energy flow when yining and i came to visit. you always are so kind to everyone you meet, even if i hope that everyone you meet isn't as concerning as we are. you're a fantastic friend, and it always just replenishes my spirits every time we get to chat or hang out. i know that this year has had its ups and downs, and i can only hope that soon you'll be able to get more time to relax and take it easy. always thinking of you and your family, may 2022 be kind ♥
Becks: BECKS ALREADY CHARGED INTO THE NEW YEAR WAY AHEAD OF US!!!! i hope that it's being kind to you!! honestly becks i'm really happy for you that you've gotten to transition into a more wfh job and in general have gotten to adjust to a lifestyle that seems fun and satisfying for you!! thank you for being such a great and fun friend to me this year just as you have been every year. I TOO HOPE FOR THE DAY THAT YOU CAN WIN THE LOTTERY AND COME TO HANG OUT WITH US IN THE STATES, fingers crossed that when travel becomes safe again then our paths can cross!! but you always have hilarious updates whenever we chat, and i love getting to know general updates about your life regardless of what it's about. may 2022 only bring even better things your way, happy new year!!
Biscuit: i keep laughing at my own fucking joke, fuck
anyway happy new year. once a year i let myself be nice to you because the last time we were nice to each other more consistently and saw each other more than once a year, the entire earth just fucking shattered LMFAOSDFLKJ. but for just today i'll wish a happy new year to you, one of my favorite people, who also just happens to be in the race for my most hated people at all fucking times LMFAOOOOO. i truly think that at this point you are more cryptid than person, and you're very welcome for what we both know is definitely a compliment. you are an absolute terror whirlwind of a creecher, to the point that everyone just starts screaming when your name is uttered, and i think that's very powerful of you. but i also think that you're an incredible friend who is endlessly supportive even tho you also laugh at me when i end up going too hard. but i also know that i wouldn't trade our friendship for anything, even if it turns us both into bears. after all, i wouldn't agree to sit behind a table and cut stickers all day with just anyone!! fingers crossed to our reunion in 2022 and hope that we don't take out too many people in the process, but it will be an understandable sacrifice. i love you, you fucking nerd, and hope you have a ridiculous new year.
Blair: DEAR BLAIR HAPPY NEW YEAR, PLEASE TELL ME HOW THE FUTURE IS!!!! i can't tell you anything about my hopes for 2022 because you're already there i'm losing it. OKAY BUT LET ME AT LEAST TRY - i hope that your 2022 is full of laughter and light, and that you manage to do a lot of things that make you happy, and that the enstars eng release treats izumi and tsumugi well. LMFAO. thank you so much for being my friend through the years, and it cracks me up that we still are more or less in the same fandom space all these years later. that's pretty amazing to me! i appreciate you always being the sena to my moricchi, and being patient as i continue to fail to grasp what your wizards are all about. but knowing figaro is into milfs is enough for me. PLEASE BE WELL IN 2022, AND KNOW THAT I ADORE YOU A WHOLE LOT!!
Boba: DARLING BELOVED BOBAAAA AAAAA honestly i'm so glad that our friendship has elevated over the past few years from "friends who share a game and tag sometimes" to "RP NO LONGER MATTERS, WE NOW HAVE AN EDM CONCERT BUDDY FOR LIFE" HAHAHA. but no, in all sincerity, i'm so glad to know you and glad that we've still stuck together through the years. you are always such a delight to know, one of the funniest people that i have ever met, and there are moments in my life that i will fondly look back on (madeon 2020, porter robinson 2021) and feel relieved to know that i got to experience them with you by my side. you're a true friend to me, and i'm so lucky that i know you. i hope that your 2022 is warm and kind, and i hope that we only manage to make it to more concerts in the coming years. MADEON HAS TO HAVE A CONCERT HERE AGAIN, HE LIVES HERE???? LMAO but may your new year bring you nothing but good vibes and bops!!!!
Britt: HAPPY NEW YEAR BRITT BRITT STYLE!!! I HOPE THAT YOU'RE HAVING A SAFE AND JOLLY TIME as much as we can with all this rain omg. but i miss you dearly already!!! i'm so glad that i've been able to see you now and then this year, as much as we could with rona, but i hope that we get to hang out again sometime soon!! i do love that you've joined us in genshin hell so that we can at least chat that way haha. but it's always fun to share fandoms with you - i love the sheer excitement you bring to everything you do, whether it be games or food!! you've always been one of the kindest people i've known and honestly as the years pass i keep thinking about our 5 year plan LMFAO. fingers crossed that we can still manage to do more traveling and food tasting together when it's safe to!!! happy new year, thank you for being my friend!!!!
Cola: HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE COLAAAAA, I HOPE THAT YOU'RE HAVING A GOOD ONE!! honestly i keep thinking about how you managed to make everyone in seasons into a lux stan and then league of legends then proceeded to make an incredibly fantastic show that captured everyone's hearts. me just like "wow that's cola's impact" HAHA. but i hope that you have been doing well as things are opening up again! i know that you got to see porter robinson's show around your birthday i think and that's already a fantastic celebration in and of itself. i hope that 2022 only continues to bring you fantastic adventures just like that!! thank you very much for being my friends over the years - you've always been such a delight in every chat i've gotten to share with you and i miss it already!! may we reunite again in 2022!
Crystal: i didn't bring this up to you directly but given that i'm watching a luxiem stream in the background as i type these up i need you to know your vox akuma tweets were the funniest thing in the world when i first saw them and i appreciate you crystal. IN GENERAL I JUST truly appreciate how hilarious you are, and how you are truly a reigning monarch of memes on twitter whether it be your bsd, fgo, or apparently luxiem ones. your excitement for your canons is infectious and that has been proven time and time again as i continue to peruse through different fate/ canons just because you love them so much. you're so talented in everything you do crystal, and i feel like i don't express that to you enough!! thank you so much for a year of laughter and all the times that we've gotten to chat - you always have a kind word to say about everyone and it truly warms my soul. i hope your 2022 is restful and fun!!
Dearest: HERE WE ARE AGAIN, AS WE ARE EVERY SINGLE YEAR!!!!!!! i don't know how long this tradition has been going at this point, and i don't know how much longer it's gonna go for - but i honestly count my blessings every year that i still get to call you one of my closest friends. we've been through so much together dearest - so much schooling, so many games, so many different life milestones - and i am endlessly grateful for it. i think i've said it plenty of times already that i don't think i would be the same person that i am today without having known you, and i consider myself so very fortunate all the time. you're so important to me, whether we talk about writing or genshin or just random life things, and you're a truly irreplaceable friend and confidant. thank you for being a part of my life, and thank you in advance for all the adventures to come. love you so much, happy new year!
Eli: SWEET ELI!!!! honestly eli you're such a delight wherever you go. i want to start by saying that i'm so glad that you managed to find a job that you not only enjoy but also clearly treasures you too. i hope you get to spend a lot of time there and pursue your passions!! but also i want to say that you are an inspiration - i really admire the ways that you move forward in life to chase after what you want, and i also especially admire your veracity for reading. being able to talk to you about books has been so much and it's been absolutely hilarious to start this impromptu book club with pixi and yaywon. you have such incredible taste and i'm so excited to keep going through your recs - thanks for going on this journey with me and i'm so excited to keep sharing more of these things we love with each other!! fingers crossed that our paths cross again in 2022, i'd love very much to give you a hug in 3d!!!
Flurry: FLURRYYYY, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! it's been such a whirlwind this past year and i know that there are some things that have been rough, but honestly i hope you know that it was such a delight to get to meet you this year it was one of the highlights for me. and more than that i hope that you know that you're always welcome to take refuge with us - being able to spend time with you is always a joy and you more than deserve the break at all times. you're such a hard worker and i know that you do a lot for others, i hope that soon you get some time to relax and recharge for yourself!! i've missed being able to share games and chats with you, but fingers crossed that we will be able to reunite sometime in 2022. you've really become so ingrained in our community that you're another person that i'm shocked that i've only known for like 2 years - but here's to inevitably many more!! may you have a truly fantastic 2022!!
Francy: honestly sometimes i think that i should start your note with an apology LMFAOOOOO. because i can say with confidence that at this point, considering that we managed 2 different traps together this year despite the fact that we live in totally different states and we also met up in 2 more totally different states, you truly put up with me more than anyone else. and that deserves a medal all on its own. but as is, all i can say is thank you. thank you for being a hilarious traveling partner who will end up struggling through both umbrellas and doors with me. thank you for being a fantastic rp partner that will put up with my ridiculous schedule and random disappearances on our psls even tho we both know i love them very much. thank you for being a friend who is always encouraging and always patient, even when everything in my head feels like a whirlwind. i don't know what i would've done over the past few years without you - probably missed out on a lot of really fun moments and a lot of laughs. but i know that you are truly growing and taking steps forward (even in a panini!!) congratulations again on your new job, and i will wait eagerly to see if you join me in the put known as grad school HAHA. whatever it is that you do next, i know that you will more than succeed - you will flourish and beat everything else into submission. that's just the kind of powerful person that i think you are. love you a whole lot franchy - have a happy new year!
Gigi: there's a moment where i have no idea if you remember it but right before the holiday party riley was going to fill up the flask and you were SO CONCERNED ABOUT SPILLING that you walked with them to the kitchen and all i could hear was you freaking out about spilling vodka in the flask and i need you to know this memory is going to live in my head rentfree for years to come LMFAOSDFLAKDJF. but honestly gigi i'm so glad that you've gotten to know my friends better!! you fit in so well with them and it's truly amazing to see you in your natural extrovert element. you and nat moving closer has been such a delight and i'm so so so glad that we've gotten to hang out more over the year even with miss rona around. you're a great, supportive friend and always so fun to be around. happy new year, and i look forward to spending more time with you! boba trip soon!!
Hei: SWEET CURSED HEI SLDKFJ i keep laughing, i'm so glad that the murder sphere brought us closer even if it also comes with a healthy dose of suspicion on my part because i'm always afraid of whatever shitpost you might bring to my door. but i think that's truly just evidence of what a fun, spontaneous person you are and why i'm so glad that we've gotten to know each other better over the course of the year. i already miss your curses and shitposts, but i know that you're definitely bringing a wild dose of energy wherever you go. you're an excellent writer and a great person to bounce ideas off of - i still hope that if you ever decide to go for an omniscient reader mg, you understand that i will be first in line to jump on that. i hope that your new year is fun and relaxing, and you get a chance to do whatever you want to do!!!
Jae: MY BELOVED JAE!!! honestly i'm so excited for you and your future - i know that you've been working so hard for so long, and i hope that soon you manage to get not only some stability but also a break because you've earned it!! i love that you're always willing to reach out to me and also spoil me and my sister with your kindness sdlfkjsdf. truly even now whenever i watch demon slayer, zenitsu continues to be a favorite character for us both, and that's truly your power. you always bring so much earnestness and energy to what you love, whether it be your canons or your projects or your friends, and i think that's one of the things that i admire most about you. happy new year, and i hope that maybe we'll cross paths when it's safer to!!! until then, please take care and rest a lot when you get the chance!!
Jan: DEAR JAN honestly every year that i get to spend with you is such a gift and i always feel endlessly lucky that we've been friends for as long as we have. i know that you've made a lot of moves this year - your own condo!!!! - and i can only hope that they bring you a bit more joy each and every step! i don't know anyone who is as unbelievably talented, patient, and thorough as you are when it comes to being able to create situations that are as enjoyable for other people as possible. but i hope that you're able to take some of that skill and turn it on yourself and chase after what makes you truly happy!! i truly treasure you as one of my closest and most steadfast friends, and i only look forward to knowing you even longer than this. so fingers crossed that we get to meet irl in 2022 so i can give you the hug that i've been holding back for like. a decade!! i love you jan, and happy new year!!
Kami: DARLING KAMI i miss you so!!!! even still, seeing your little updates on twitter are really heartwarming and i'm glad to see that you get a chance to go to the ghibli museum or out on a trail every now and then. the panini has been a rough time on us but i miss you a whole lot, and am just glad that you're finding moments of joy out in the world!! every time that i manage to get a little further with my exercise journey, i think about you and the inspiration that you are. fingers crossed that when things are safer we'll get a chance to go out and run together like we said! ♥ for now, i just hope you're staying warm and dry for the holiday season, and i'll count the days until we get to hang out again!
Kia: KIA, THE MOST PROLIFIC OF ALL MY FRIENDS!!! honestly we've talked about this before but i truly admire your ability to keep writing and meeting all your deadlines and expectations. i know you said it's habit building, but even with all my obsessions over habit building i still can't keep up the way you do. you're such a phenomenal writer and i don't think we all ever grasp the sheer extent of what you do for us each year when you take requests and learn full canons in order to fulfill writing requests. you're an incredible person with a lot of skill and talent, and i can't be grateful enough that i have another friend who is here to wade awkwardly through the world of original fiction with. may we both have an incredibly successful and satisfying 2022!! i'm so glad that we get to do it together.
Kes: literally every time aki and i ever think about fanime, we always think about how you put up with us so much. and i want to say this but at the same time i'm also like "kes also says really cursed shit sometimes and we all just roll with it because she's cute and nice about it" LMFAOASDLFKJ but honestly kes!! being able to just be goofy and chat with you about anything, whether it be swords or just whatever topic comes up on plurk that day, always adds a sprinkle of something fun and gratifying to my day. thank you for always giving me another reason to smile, and i hope that i can even slightly return that to you! may we continue to have a great friendship through the years, and get a chance to see each other again sometime soon!!! happy new year!
Kosy: MY BAE, MY BELOVED, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! gonna be honest with you i keep thinking about how enstars eng is coming next year and how clearly i can still remember our chats over LINE where i was like "your fav isn't going to be in the first op but it's okay, i know you're going to love him" and here you are with leo tsukinaga as your forever boy years later LMFAOSDFKLJSDF. I CAN'T SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE I STILL HAVE A CHIAKI ICON ON TWITTER SO YOU CAN'T BE TOO MAD AT ME, OKAY. but i think that it's funny how some things truly seem to last forever and i think our friendship is definitely one of those things. you always make me smile every single time we chat, and i'm so glad that we're still in touch over some of the silliest things in the world. but i love you a whole lot and i hope that 2022 is even better to you. (did you prereg for enstars. if you did i will too.)
Lisa: LISAAAAAA first off congrats on finding your own place!! i hope that your move went smoothly, and your new place fulfills everything you could've possibly wanted!! i'm so glad that we've gotten to spend more time together over this year in the assorted mg scenarios and stayed in touch over the years!! we didn't get to catch you in new york but fingers crossed that next time when the panini doesn't strike quite as hard, we'll be able to hang out again! you always bring such a hilarious spirit with you wherever you go, and i hope that your adventures in 2022 are even more fulfilling for you! happy new year, keep kicking ass!
Lowe: UH WELL FIRST OFF LOWE CONGRATS ON BEING ABLE TO FIND A PLACE AND MOVE IN!!!! i know the process has been really stressful, but honestly i admire you so much in the strides that you're making in your life and i hope that the adjustment ultimately brings you a lot of peace and rest once things are settled better. you're doing something truly amazing for yourself and i hope that you get to reap the benefits soon. but also i want to say that i'm so very happy to be able to have gotten to know you over this year, not only because i get to meet someone else who shares the Boss Baby title with me but also in general that you are a truly hilarious, talented, and incredible person. thank you so much for being my friend this year, and i look forward to many more with you!!! have a good 2022, and i hope that rest comes for you soon.
Maple: MAPLE SWEET MAPLE happy new year!!!! honestly i'm surprised when i think that i've only known you for about 2 years because it feels so much longer. you're like a constant, reassuring friend who's always around to talk to - and that presence just makes me, and countless others i'm sure, feel better each day. i know that the past few months have been Interesting(tm) in the way that only 2021 really can be, but i'm so glad that you got through it and are recovering well!! MAKE YOUR GOOD HEALTH PROGRESS ONLY CONTINUE FURTHER INTO 2022!!!! i miss chatting with you and everyone so much, but i know that it'll make our reunion at the next mg i can make all the sweeter. i'll be running at you more for sure!! until then, please continue to have a lovely new year!!
Marie: WELL MISS MARIE, I MUST BEGIN WITH THE FACT THAT YOUR ART IS TRULY A MARVEL. i can't begin to tell you how delighted i am that i've gotten to work with you over the past year, and seeing the rest of your commissions as they come out is amazing every single step of the way. your work is fantastic and i'm glad that you've managed to find more time for art this year just like you said you would! and i hope that your time for your passions only grows in the new year, even if you might be joining me in graduate student hell LMFAO. but you've always been the type of person to just go go go and chase after what you want - and i think that's one of the most admirable things about you. i know that this past week has been a rocky end to the new year, but i hope you also know just as certainly that all your friends are here to support you in any way possible. you're an amazing person who deserves tor receive just as much as you give to the world - happy new year, may 2022 be even better to you!!
Nat: OH NATTO, WHAT A HECKIN' YEAR. so much has changed!! you moved to a new place (so close!!) and switched jobs and honestly i keep thinking that if there's anyone that i could've introduced my wild college friends to and watch them become coworkers with, i'm glad that it was you. i know that you've been stressed with all these changes and shifting things, but i also hope that soon you'll be able to reach the answers and goals that you've set! you are a person who i've always admired and thought to have endless possibility, and there's no one i'd want to fangirl over spiderverse with more. SO I WILL CONTINUE TO CROSS MY FINGERS AND WISH ON EVERY STAR THAT YOU GET TO CHASE YOUR DREAMS AND DO WHAT YOU WANT - you're an incredible person and i hope you never forget it! happy new year, and see you soon!!
Niji (& Iki): SINCE IKI DOESN'T HAVE A PLURK PLEASE PASS ON MY GREETINGS FOR THE NEW YEAR TO HIM AS WELL NIJI!!!! but also congratulations on your new job!!! honestly niji i'm just so happy for you that you've gotten to spend time working on what you prioritize in life, and then getting to work on all these projects that you love so much. i think that you're a truly incredible person, and i'm so glad for the way that you were able to focus and prioritize on your happiness instead of listening to any other messaging. it's clearly paying off, and i'm so incredibly glad for you. i hope that 2022 brings you so much joy and fun and rewards for whatever you choose to pursue next!! thank you for always being such an uplifting and kind friend who always finds the time to cheer on others - you're an inspiration. have a lovely 2022, and i hope that you and iki have a good one!!
Nu: NUUUUUUU ONE MORE YEAR STUCK WITH ME NUUUUUUU LMAO happy nu year!!!!! i'm gonna get very sappy at you because i truly think that you're one of my dearest friends - i really appreciate the way that we can go a few weeks without talking but then once we do it's like the floodgates open and then i'm up until 3 am talking to you as we blaze through like 7 different topics in one convo LMFAOSDFLKJ. those types of friendships are some of my favorites and it's why i feel very happy and honored to say that we're friends. you are a truly hilarious and kind person, but also i know you're exactly the type of person who will be honest and take no shit from anyone LMFAO. that's the type of energy that we all need going into the new year to be honest. FINGERS CROSSED THAT WE WILL FINALLY BE ABLE TO HANG OUT IN PERSON NEXT YEAR and you will probably snipe me on sight but i will accept and welcome it. LOVE YOU NUUUU, HAVE A WONDERFUL 2022!!!! THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF MINE.
Pazu: PAZU IT'S BEEN SOOOO GOOD TO MEET YOU THIS YEAR!!! honestly it's funny because francy told me about you and it was just such a delight to meet you for myself. truly you a connoisseur of fandom with excellent taste in tales and girls, and tales girls. even though we're in a pretty tough timezone match, i still loved all the tags and threads that i got to do with you this year, and it made every attempt so very worth it!! i hope that you continue to have a good time in japan, and i can't wait until we get to share a game together again!! until then i am sure that you are just continuing to flex your braincell for the whole game. have a very big brain new year, and a wonderful 2022!!
Pearl: LOVELY PEARLY!!! honestly one of the greatest gifts of this year has been getting the chance to talk to you more. i'm really glad that we've been able to connect more on twitter since i've come back, and also i really can't thank you enough for sharing link click with me as i've only continued to share it with my other friends, laughs. YOU'RE SUCH A WONDERFUL PERSON AND ALL YOUR COSPLAY PHOTOS ARE BEYOND GORGEOUS - fingers crossed that when miss rona departs and i get a chance to visit the philipines again maybe our paths can cross!! until now it's always a delight to hear from you and you've made my 2021 very wonderful just by being yourself. may 2022 be just as joyous!!! i hope you have a great one.
Pixi: HAPPY NEW YEAR PIXI, THANKS FOR A WILD RIDE OF A YEAR!!!! I HOPE THAT CHILDE GETS ANOTHER RERUN AND THEN AN ELECTRO RERUN IN 2022!! i'm only halfway kidding.... LMFAO. but in all honesty, it's truly been a wild year and i think the most consistent thing about it has been your childe love which is such a hysterical thing. but congrats on making it through your program and beginning on your journey through the world of editing!!!!! honestly i'm not surprised at all - you've always had such a passion for writing and story, and i think always about that massive bakuten fic you wrote and what an inspiration it is. i'm so excited for you and all the stories that you'll get to help craft in the coming year! thank you for always being the voice of screaming reason in our meme hurricanes, and sorry for all the headaches in advance! i love you a whole lot, and hope we get to hang out again in 2022. have a wonderful one!!!!
Prince: PRINCE I MET YOU AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR AND I'M SO ENDLESSLY GRATEFUL FOR THAT LMFAOASDFLJ honestly you're such a wonderful, hilarious person. i'm so glad that i got to meet you through yaywon and the chaos of a meme together, and hopefully we'll get to play with each other more consistently in 2022! don't ask me how yet tho i'm not sure. but i just know that i find you to be incredibly fun and sweet to talk to, and i know that there have been some hiccups throughout the year but i hope that at least lately life has been easier on you because you deserve it. i hope that your 2022 is full of laughter and kindness, because you really don't deserve anything less. happy new year!!
Ray: RAY IT WAS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN THIS YEAR!!!! it really does crack me up that you and ari were some of the people that i saw just before the panini hit and i'm glad that you were also some of the people that i got to see again when things got even slightly back to normal. it's always a great time to hang out with you, and i'm hoping that your 2022 only gets even better! i know that this year has been stressful between work and other things, so i hope that you manage to get some time to rest amidst all your accolades and all the great recognition of the work you do. i know you always work super hard whenever you have a project, and i hope that you get some time to destress and decompress where possible! perhaps one day we will even be able to find time where our de-stressing overlaps and we get to see each other at con! IT'S 2022, WE CAN HOPE FOR WHATEVER WE WANT! regardless thank you again so much for being a friend to me this year, and here's to many, many more!!
Ryza: i'm going to be honest ryza i keep thinking about when i was in 2week chat for no more than 2 days and yet when we were both in the same place it was just constantly pointing guns at each other and endless roasts LMFAOSDFLKJ. it was sooooo good to have a place to chat and hang out with you again, and i'll keep all my fingers crossed that we get to be in the same game sometime in 2022 for much longer! i'll pummel my schedule into a pulp in order to make sure that it can happen!!! but for now i'm glad that everyone else has gotten a chance to meet you and all the hilarity that you bring along with you everywhere that you go. you're a truly fantastic and fun person to know, and i'm so grateful we've been friends through the years! happy new year, and may your 2022 be amazing!!
Sib: SIB MADE MONEY MOVES THIS YEAR OOHHHHHH honestly sibbu i think the fact that you got to move this year is truly amazing!! i know that you've been shifting and getting used to it, but i really admire you for being able to make that step! i think that when the rest of the world has stilled and a lot of people have been struggling to get back to their lives, being able to make such a choice to change your environment is amazing! i'm sad that i don't know if we'll be able to hang out next year based on the con schedule, but considering that i'm thinking of going to boston myself as a possible place to go study or work, i'll be sure to let you know if i end up in your neck of the woods one way or another!! in general, it's always fun to talk to you about our fandom things, and your descent into jojo has been hilarious too. have a wonderful 2022, and i hope that it's full of (checks notes) stands????? LMFAO
Sipp: SIPP I FEEL LIKE YOU ARE SIMPLY MY SIBLING IN ACADEMIA. i know that our fields are very different but every time you mention something about classes and schedules i want to grip your shoulder in understanding. that said i hope that you're doing well and i'm so excited for both of us being free soon!! and then when you're free, i hope you get to spend a nice, long time resting and recovering in whatever way possible! i saw that you might be joining us for fanime if it happens, and when that happens please understand that i will simply be running to you and giving you the biggest hug. BE STRONG, YOU'RE ALMOST AT THE END, AND I'M ALWAYS CHEERING YOU ON!!!! happy new year, and may 2022 be kind and prosperous!!
Sisi: SWEET SISI!! CONGRATULATIONS ON MAKING IT THROUGH 2021!! i know that the panini has been an interesting time for those of us who feel like we have to keep making progress or we end up in existential dread, but i will provide the friendly reminder that you already have plenty of worth as a person just by being yourself. you're a kind person who puts a lot of work into what they do, and i am crossing all of my fingers that you get to reap some of your rewards in 2022!! MANIFESTING A NEW SATISFYING JOB FOR SISI! but honestly, thank you for always reaching out to me and thinking of me even as i've stepped a little further away from the murder circuit. your thoughtfulness really means so much and always warms my heart. have a wonderful new year and give your fur babies some smoochies for me!!
Siz: SIZ IT WAS JUST SO GOOD TO MEET YOU IN PERSON THIS YEAR, getting a chance to see friends irl is always grand but i always treasure first meetings a whole lot. i finally had a face to put to the expert way that you manage to fool all of us over text, and some of the funniest tags i've ever gotten. i can only hope that it was even a fraction as fun for you as it was for me, and i hope we get chances to hang out again in the future!! thank you, as always, for being your amazing self in everything that you do. whether it be discussing mg stuff or just shooting the shit, i already miss having an excuse to talk to you more. but i wish you well until next time we get to share a space besides the aspirational fanime server!! i hope that your new year has a lot of fun and relaxation in store for you - thank you for your friendship through 2021, and hopefully many years to come! ♥
Snow: HAPPY NEW YEAR SNOWWWWWWW!!!!! what a year it's been! so much cannibalism, gay nonsense, and cannibalistic gay nonsense this year! i think that's accurate. LMFAO. it's been so good to spend even more time with you on the murder circuit this year, even tho i'm sad that i've had to miss your games. MAYBE NEXT TIME. either way, i know that you're doing your best to juggle all the demands on you and i think that's commendable on its own. i hope that whatever you take on next in the new year, it's a lot more restful and you get a chance to breathe! you've certainly earned a chance to kick back and relax for a while. may your 2022 be nice and peaceful, and a little bit of a hellscape! thank you for always being so fun to chat with and open to talk to and get cr with ♥
Spoon: SPOON DID YOU KNOW WE MET THIS YEAR???? THIS TIME LAST YEAR YOU WERE MERELY A MYTH TO ME, A RUMOR OF BELIAL-SHAPED WHISPERS. THAT'S SO FUNNY TO THINK ABOUT SDLFKJSDF anyway thank you so much for not hating me even after i fucking called you soup and still occasionally nearly make the same mistake. i would have understood if you lasted an endless grudge, but instead you just accept the bullying and also bully me in return and i think that's what true friendship is. thank you for honestly being such a hysterical person, who says such ridiculous things that aki and i have discussed how you deserve your own merch line, and for making my life so much brighter as a result. you're a gift to every single person who's ever gotten to meet you, and it is so important to met that you know and understand that. happy new year, and hopefully with the reopened border francy and i will show up at your doorstep at some point!! have a wonderful 2022, you're stuck with me!
Sunny: SWEET SUNNY i feel like every time that i might be looking for an encouraging word or someone to chat with, you're always reliably there. thank you for being such a good friend to me over the years even though we don't rp together all that much anymore - i think that's the sort of friendship that i've really come to treasure. as we progress into the new year, i will keep all my fingers and toes crossed for you and your teaching so that your life can progress exactly the way you want! you've worked so hard over the years and are more than deserving of all the rewards that life can give you. 2022 will be your year!! i will manifest it right here and now!! so happy new year, and thank you for being my friend!

Tori: i can't believe the chaos of tori has returned to us in murdergames and i didn't even get to enjoy it tch. BUT REGARDLESS, welcome back to us tori and i'm so glad that you've returned!!! honestly it's been wild keeping up with your plurks even when we weren't playing in games together, but i am unbelievably glad that you were able to spend more of your holidays with family and out of the US, even if i'm sure travel was a beast all its own. i hope that your coming year gets to bring you even more good news and a lot of fun times together!! happy new year, and i only hope we get to hang out more in the coming year!!

Zia: i don't know how to start with this considering that i just heard that riku was announced dead like 3 minutes ago and my thought was OH NO POOR KAIRI AND SORA LMFAOSDFLKJ BUT I HOPE THAT YOU'VE BEEN HAVING A FUN 2021, ZIA!!!! honestly i think a lot about the fact that i added you for cradle and how lucky i am to have stayed friends with you ever since!! thank you for always being an engaging and friendly person in every single chance i've gotten to hang out with you - i already miss the easy, breezy, meme-y conversation that comes from being in the same chat as each other!! but fingers crossed that WITH THE BORDER OPEN we'll be able to recreate some of those convos in person in 2022 at FANIME!! i'm going to keep manifesting and hoping that it happens. BUT THANK YOU, AS ALWAYS, FOR BEING SUCH A WONDERFUL FRIEND AND PERSON TO GENERALLY BE AROUND!! have a wonderful new year!!
big not3 :manhole: :pinched_fingers: : help i keep laughing i nearly called us pope perfect. anyway i will put a separate note here as well because i think that we are like. a few years deep into this friendship now and it is so endlessly fucking chaotic even tho i hate that we were in a fucking channel about feet for 9 months. why. anyway - let me put here specifically that i love you both very much, and i love this constellation of our friendship and it is so important to me that it's hard to really articulate. i think that we have a terrible, hilarious balance between the three of us that sends me into a delirium but i also feel so lucky to have. thank you for being a place where i can throw in every single inane thought that i have throughout the day and i know that i feel safe enough to not be judged. honestly i will admit that i think that i have a pretty easily lonely personality, and it doesn't take much for me to be sad about not having anyone to talk to normally - but despite the fact that we are in quarantine and most of my social life has been cut up, i've so very rarely ever felt lonely so long as i had our server to fall back to. it is truly a blessing and a gift to know that some of my closest friends are nothing more than just a click and a few keystrokes away, and i don't have to be anyone but me. so thank you both for giving me that space, and for being so dear to me. i love you so very, very much and hopefully we can all actually meet in 3d soon without us having to fucking break into anna's house and get lost in the woods. who's to say.
happy new year!

2019 notes。
everyone well that's it - we made it to the end of the decade. we all made it, separate but not necessarily apart, because i know that there were moments in this decade that i wouldn't have been able to make it if not for the community of people around me. thank you to everyone that i know for being kind, for being patient, for being open and honest with me, through every single up and down. thanks for catching me when i fall, and kicking my ass when i get too moody. i hope that this decade has given you what you wanted - and if it hasn't, i hope you fucking take 2020 by the horns and demand that it goes as you please. you can do it. you're strong enough, you're kind enough, you're powerful enough to take on everything that life throws at you. i know it. here's to the roaring 20s, and i hope that everything opens up to your wildest dreams!! happy new year!
( oh boy here we go )

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.
