Oh man! My habitica crew, @WithAnH @Hobo @KarrinBlue @Acey and also Swirl and Mycelia (I just realized I'm not 100% sure of your usernames in here, sorry!!!) are excellent accountability frends and talking to you all on Habitica, here or on Skype is just great!!! @emythos is super sweet and also a lipstick golem @peripheral is a very nice friend and fun to talk to @Bel Capricorn is great and very smart (and also I keep forgetting to send you the recordings I made of the play, I'm sorry!!!) @Beldaran is I think the one person in here who I think about as just dropping nothing but truth (often, very tactfully worded truth!!) 100% of the time @Petra is a cinnamon roll @Morven is a sweet and badass lady who I admire a lot! @Void 's sense of humor is so gr8 and it's so fun to talk to them @jacktrash is a very important role model for me @seebs has helped me a lot in the past and has helped me smuggle makeup internationally as well as being I think *the* most helpful person when I went through the realizing-I'm-trans thing @rainbowbarnacle 's icon on ANYTHING just makes me instantly happy because I think of her as such a bright, positive person @Mercury I just have so much respect for you and hang on to your every word on the topics of gender shit and Dragon Age! @blue I love the friendship we have which is like... almost exclusively built around talking about Dragon Age. It may sound silly but you really mean a lot to me? Our conversations cheer me up no matter what else is happening in my life and I'm very grateful for that. @roach is just awesome and great and smart and makes good art and I love her ceramics and also her sense of humor. And finally... @Vast Derp I kinda wrote your name and left it blank because to be honest I have such deep levels of admiration and respect for you that my heart is going doki doki a bit just to think about it. You're so important, dude. When I see you make art I am filled with joy and when I see you talk about being excited about doing art it makes me excited about doing art too. When you talked about transitioning I was so happy for you I cried, and that was the last push I needed to realize I was trans too. The few times I've messaged you you've always been so cool and nice. You may not remember, but I told you once that I had a dream about you and you kept giving weird trans artsy kids profanity-laden encouragement, and also you were a ghost but you couldn't actually leave this plane until you had drawn one thousand rude pictures! And while that's a funny mental image, it also perfectly encompasses how I think about you as just - someone whose presence always gives me the drive to try again, to do better, to be better, to do more, to stay alive and to give a giant middle finger to bigots, abusers and haters not by being hateful but by living well.
Forgot to add! EVERYONE who ever made even a SINGLE post in the Rape, Sexual Assault and Harassment thread, EVERY ONE OF YOU, who I'm not going to tag because it seems like it would make people uncomfortable AND because I'd inevitably leave someone out, but EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU IS GREAT I SWEAR TO GOD I HAVE SO MUCH LOVE FOR ALL OF YOU. I AM SO PROUD OF ALL OF YOU AND OF HOW AWESOME YOU ARE WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THINGS AND REACH OUT TO PEOPLE AND PROCESS WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU. YOU'RE ALL GREAT
OH MAN HOW COULD I FORGET! MORE PEOPLE! Also I'm sorry for posting 3x in a row but it's everyone's fault for being so awesome. I'm sure there's even more awesome people I'll remember later. @Wiwaxia I can think of no-one better to be constantly mistaken for. @littlemissCodeless has an amazing sense of style and can always be counted on to appreciate pictures of cats, which is great!!! @Raire Adoro o teu cabelo e é muito legal poder usar um pouquinho de Português contigo! @witchknights Me alegro muito de ter uma amiga brasileira por aqui e te acho foda de modo geral <3
this thread is giving me difficulty because there are so many people i desperately want to compliment but as soon as I start writing out the list it grows and grows and honestly I would be hard-pressed to find a kintsugijin that i do not want to send some love to!!! so i will start with five. @IvyLB i look forward to your fashion selfies so much!!! i really really REALLY admire your outfits and makeup, you're so cool and witchy and i have a big embarrassing crush on your aesthetic. you're super fun to talk to and. gosh you're just great (⋈=◡=) @wixbloom you are so unfailingly kind and supportive and generous with your energy and time. you're just so GOOD, and you help so many people, and i really really admire and respect you. @spockandawe it is YOUR damn fault that i fell into giant alien robot hell, back before i'd even posted on kintsugi for real. thanks, you monster. But really, your brain is magical and honestly i just plain like you a lot :) @KathyGaele i dunno if you remember when i was flipping the fuck out on the rape/sexual assault/harassment thread, but you drew me a picture of my cat and it sounds silly but that meant so much to me and it made me feel so much better and every time I see it (it's saved on my computer and phone) it makes me so happy. @Beldaran you are someone whose opinion and thoughts i really value!! i dunno how to say this without making it sound weird, but when there's a conflict you're a source of stability and honesty and i admire that a lot. i wish i could tag every single person who has ever posted in the TF thread, the selfie thread, and the pet pictures thread!!! WHAT A BUNCH OF GREAT PEOPLE WITH GREAT FACES AND GREAT PETS AND GREAT GIANT ROBOT FEELINGS!!!

Thank you everyone who's tagged me so far! I love you all and therefore tagging would take a lot of time and this thread is kind of my love note to you all anyways.
aaaaa I'm not sure what to say @chaoticArbiter, you're just the best. So lovely and nice and cute and I love you so much. <3 It is well-known that @Ipuntya is the Universal Moirail, but I needed to mention it. You're also Official Internet Mom N°2. @Vast Derp is, somehow, Official Internet Mom N°1. @BlackholeKG, you're much nicer and cuter than you think. And I'm forgetting to mention so many people, but everyone on this forum is awesome, and I wish I was such a good person as you.
which reminds me! @palindromordnilap and @chaoticArbiter are adorable (and cA is also v fun to RP with.)
oh gosh ohgoshogosh same to you, though, too. Also @Void is really charming and great company and fun to talk to on top of just generally being a wonderful person and a fantastic artist. @Imoyram is the cutest smeet and i love their enthusiasm about science and am consistently in awe of how mature they are. They are the person I wish I had been at that age in a lot of ways. Same goes for @peripheral, honestly, if somewhat less smol. And then on the other end @jacktrash and @roach and @Vast Derp and @Mercury continue to be people I look up to massively and who are major role models for me.
@wixbloom That is incredibly flattering, thank you so much. I love every post that you make in the ITA subforum, you are so kind and giving of yourself. And thank YOU for starting the R, SA, & H thread, and responding to everyone on there with such love, kindness, and forthright support. @applechime That is also incredibly flattering and not weird sounding at all! You are a very sweet person, and I am very glad of getting to know you a bit on here. Also, thank you again to @Kaylotta. You are great and I love seeing your contributions around the forum. Your icon is like a pointy familiar face. c:
Oh my god thank you :D :D *bloops happily* @Bel Capricorn HI FRIEND You are the best comic artist/story partner this nerd could ask for, and you're just generally really cool @jacktrash beardad is beardad and gave me hugs. and you're like- someone i can look up to cause you're Like Me in a lot of places. idk @seebs cool fracklemom, and sometimes i disagree with you but you've helped me critical think learn @Vast Derp cool uncle. 'nuff said @Raire has quality hair, and is generally awesome. gives a+ hugs
