okay so Linda inspired me
ALRIGHT, HERE WE GO. This post contains mush, jsyk. HAPPY THANKSGIVING! (Kind of ended up going in chronological order, whoops.) If I didn't have you up here, please tell me, because I am a derp and probably left off someone ;n;
ekamanganese: My oldest friend on LJ (though her page may not show it, seeing as she's changed journals since then). It's been a long time for the two of us, but you've pulled me through some of my craziest times and I've learned a lot because of it. I'm thankful for the knowledge you've given.
magicnme/dinotron: The two people responsible for getting me into LJRP, and into Discedo. We don't talk as much as we used to, but I'll never forget our threads and crazy RL cosplay shenanigans. I'm thankful for the experience you'd given me as a writer and cosplayer, and the knowledge that I am as good on my own as I am with any date.
saltprince: One of the first people I met through RP and became awesome friends with. I miss being a mod with you over at Vardskepp! It was great times trying to navigate the plots while Sora was shooting golf balls out windows. I'm thankful for the RP experience you've given me, and my knowledge of how to do a list properly the FIRST time.
rainbowserenity: RS! :D First cosplaybuddyidolthing. I've always loved your Axel Adventures, and your cosplays are always so boss to look at. I love seeing you at cons (and running from fangirls during my first cosplay experience)! I'm thankful for the knowledge you've given me of all the places to hide in the convention center, and how to run effectively with giant props when your very life (and shoes) depend on it.
just_curtains: Vardskepp! Besides Zero, you're one of the only people I still talk to from that old game. It was great fun though! I really want to thread with you more again; it's been too long darling. You inspired me to try apping Namine at Discedo, and I've never looked back. I'm thankful for the idea that I could try new things, and not to be afraid of online applications, because they're just paper and can't bite me.
confectionaries/radian/patchouli/spagonia/starfruits/sunflowerraven/losers_day: When I entered Discedo, you guys were there with open arms and willing to stay with me as I fumbled through my first few months. We've had amazing threads, and for most of you, some awesome real life adventures! (Kojibb, Otakon will never be forgotten.) I'm thankful for the way you subtly taught me to keep track of a big RP, and not to be so scared when I threaded; that you guys were normal people like me, smiling as they typed to a computer screen.
superfluously: LINDASKI. Honestly, I was scared to shit of you for the longest time. You played so well, you were so confident, and you were so many levels above me every time I tagged you I was screaming and clutching a pillow because somehow I was more worthy each time. THEN WE MET IN RL AND THINGS JUST GOT EVEN COOLER. Even though we don't play in any games together anymore, I will forever nibble on your posts and snug from afar. I'm thankful for the courage you've given me to overcome my fears about other people who are "better" than me. ♥
thelastpupnik OH. YOU. No but seriously, Jenna you are my e-daddy. You were partially in the same situation as Linda when I first got into Discedo; I was scared shitless because OH GOD SO STUNNING. But when you got America in I wanted to plot with you so badly, I sucked in my breath and shot you an IM. I remember talking that same day about how much courage you told me I had to talk to people, because of how shy you were. I will never forget you accepting me into your house and hiding from spiders, and whenever you need them, I'll bake more cookies and throw them cross-country. I'm thankful for the confidence you've given me to be the best RPer and person I can be, and that the greatest friendship can be started with a single hello.
eats_typos/usernameism: AHHH MY FIRST SERIOUSLY SUCCESSFUL ENABLERS. You guys have become a serious part of my family, and not just in the Baltics aspect. You also got me to play my first Hetalia character in a mainstream LJ setting, and you made me feel so comfortable when you did it. Shugo, you are forever my bb bro, even if you are like 3 days older. Kibby Moe Sparklepants, MY CANADIAN BROTACULAR, I will find a way to rope you back into playing with me if I have to staple you to Discedo. SHUGO, YOU TOO, I DON'T KNOW HOW. It matters more to me that we talk and remember each other fondly, and add new memories each day. I'm thankful for the experience that you've given me that I can play whatever character I want, and enabling is very, very successful on me as long as you show me a good time.
dobatochan: I did not know you well enough until too late, bb. I wish you still lived around here so we could see each other more often! Still, I'll never forget our ever-continuing cosplay adventures. Also, I will steal all the chicken ever if I get to a school function, just for you. I'm thankful for what you've taught me about putting your best foot forward to everyone, regardless of anything in the way.
tradanui/aikofruit/ataraxiansmile: Oh god you guys what. Calli, I think I knew you earlier, but you're all kind of a lump sum package now, huh? You guys are some of the greatest people I've ever cosplayed with, in and out of costume. You made hotel rooms and pool parties great fun, even when there was cars through rosebushes and taking 2 hours to find a godddamn Taco Bell. Casey, one day I will cook you a good meal that doesn't kill you, I promise. I'm thankful for the way you've taught me to pour my heart into what I do, and never be afraid to take a leap of faith in the name of love.
decaydreams/mongoliabun/singing_monk: I didn't meet you all until later in my Discedo game, but sob you guys were so nice to me. I know we all don't play together anymore, but I'm so glad you let me friend your Realj's so we can keep talking! I'm gonna forever stalk you all so I can pry into your lives and give you snuggles all the time. I'm thankful for the ideas you've given me that a friendship can last way past the RP aspect.
kay_cricketed: HOLY GOD YOU. You are my writing idol. Like no seriously, your writing is the grestest I have ever read and whenever General Relativity updates, I want to hug you, punch you, and cry on your shoulder every time. Your work has given me serious writing inspiration, and I scream every time you like something I've written in return. Also, as proven, I would even pay money for you to write something for me. |D I'm thankful for the confidence you've given me to write what I want and share it with the world, and the happiness I get every time I see anyone comment on my work.
noraluvr58: MY NEW OTAKON BABBY! I met you as Seborga and quickly found out YOU KNEW EVERYONE EVER and that was pretty spiffy. YOU EVEN INTRODUCED ME TO HEAVENSEALED and life was even better after that. You are the squishiest ever, I will kidnap your pony one day, and I WILL make it back up there for Otakon IF IT KILLS ME just so I can ruffle your hair one more time. I'm thankful for the awesome time you gave me at my first Otakon, and the neverending nice things you had, and have, to say about everything.
tokene/webreathewords: I somehow picked you two up through fanfiction and cosplay pictures, and it's AWESOME.I love reading your posts and your fanfics, they're always such a joy. Somehow I will meet you both RL (though I don't know how, seeing as plane tickets are totes expensive) and thank you in person for all the fangirling you've given me (and so I can give you a bunch back)! I'm thankful for the confidence you've given to tell me that not everyone I meet on the internet is a giant creeper, and LJ can bring together everyone from around the world to share a common interest.
parron: SO YOU'RE KINDA LIKE LINDA TOO except I was so terrified of you until we started modding together. Denmark is the biggest weirdo ever but YOU ARE SO BRO and I still don't know how to tag you properly without descending into fits of giggles and stupid. One day I will find a way to argue with him, despite I never play any characters that argue. Whoops. I want to know so much more about you, but for now I will have to nerd it up through Plurk and punch Anons with you forever. I'm thankful for the cool ideas you've given me, and the confidence of modding a giant game (alongside my other awesome mods, of course)!
japwn: I THINK I'M NEARING THE END AHHH but oh my god SQUISHYYYYY. You are the sweetest thing and encouraged me into apping Italy this last summer. We talk like, every second idk (as I speak, we're on IM with each other) and discuss the weirdest things. I'm so happy you put up with all my crap when I need to scream and bang my face into the desk, and I'm sorry I keep getting your timezone wrong. |D I'm thankful for the ideas you've given me for RP, and the way you're always supportive of anything. (Also, fine, I suppose this constitutes me being "cute". Gosh.)
breadmantic: NIKA/FLUFFY/GERMANSKI. So when we first talked I kind of thought you hated me for apping Italy when you friend was going to, and that since you were leaving our time would be short-lived. But you stayed, and I was so happy I actually cried onto my keyboard that I wasn't losing you. I saved you for last because you're technically one of my newest friends, but you're already one of the best. I'll always race online to see you whenever I can get a connection, and blab at you on Skype into the wee hours whenever I get the chance. You will forever be my Germany and one day, I will either get to Germany or you will get here and we will bro all over the place together. I love you so hard and I'm glad we became amazing friends. I'm thankful for everything you've given me, and all the times I scream when I see you log online, if only for an hour.
I SUPPOSE I CAN LEAVE THIS HERE, TOO. God this was long. HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVEN FOR MY NON-AMERICAN PALS!
