You are an amazing friend! So funny and smart and talented, plus caring and understanding. I adore your sense of humor, your adventurousness, the fact that you're an introvert but still put yourself out there. And I just don't even know what we'd do without your writing! Thank you for the collective and personal joy you bring. <3

You are basically part of the backbone of fandom to me, or maybe even the whole spine. without you and the things you organise, create, post, write, joke about, bring our attention to, and dress up as, it just woudlnt be the same, at all. from the bottom of the heart, and also the top, and maybe some of the middle bits too lol, thank you for being in this and being SO EXCELLENT!

Also I typed your name as "bords" and now I kind of love it :D
