EM I HAVE ONLY KNOWN YOU FOR A SHORT TIME BUT REST ASSURED THAT DOES NOT MEAN I DO NOT HARBOUR A GREAT DEAL OF AFFECTION AND APPRECIATION FOR YOU!! you're such a hardworking and passionate person about what you're doing and you're always super busy, which is astounding! You're wonderful to be around and a joy to talk to and I look forward to getting to know you better!

Hope life gets less hectic for you soon!! <3333

RUKA!!

I'm going to go in bullet points because I literally cannot form sentences right now, that's how floored I am.

- THIS BEAN BRINGS ME IMPOSSIBLE JOY. I WILL PRINT IT OUT AND PUT IT WITH THE OTHERS.

- I also look forward to getting to know YOU better! You push yourself in every possible way and your output is truly ridiculous. You're supportive of other artists both in terms of resource sharing, inspiring art to look at on a regular basis, and reminding me that some days you just gotta Work and not let anxiety get to you. You're my inspiration!

- I CAN'T WAIT TO COLOR THESE LINES YOU GAVE ME. I hope it's our first of many collabs tbqh.

HEY IT'S ALEX, WHATTUP, I know we haven't known each other long but u are one cool dude! I've super been enjoying getting to hang with and talk to you and I so hope we can see each other at Katsucon this year! From one chronic illness bro to another, ur da bes, and I'm sending you as many extra spoons as I can to get through those difficult days <3

Thank you so much, dude!! You've been a lot of fun to get to know too, especially since I've been following you in secret for gosh. Years now?? WEIRD. I'm creepy. Anyway.

I really hope we can connect too!! And if we don't, I'm still gonna send you swag. I'm ruthless that way.

LET'S THREAD OR SOMETHING SOMETIME SOON. And be well pal, I know how that exhaustion life goes. You're a freaking delight and funny as hell.

YOU'RE NOT CREEPY, i totally knew who you were too HAHA sometimes things happen!!!

but gosh yes we're gonna thread and then im gonna fight you over merch, physically, in a ditch. that's just how it be

em!!! god you've been such a powerhouse for going through what you've done and still managing to be this touchstone of creative energy and positive vibes. every time i see you on plurk you're trying to cheer people up and create a loving environment and just asking people to stop by for positivity and it's really really sweet. despite all the shit you've been through, you still do your best to put out a bit of good energy into the world whenever you can. you're such a gifted artist and rper and maybe you've heard that a lot, but you haven't heard it ENOUGH god dang it, because it's true!

i hope life starts to ease up on you soon. if anyone deserves a break, it's you. in the memetime tho, i drew you a something! i'm not as dedicated an artist so it's a little rough (and i actually fucked my color layer attempting to shade it so flats it is lol) but i hope the sentiment nonetheless carries over!

( full size )

(they're bffs who be playin pokemon)

(i dont actually know anything about pokemon and i dont remember if you do either)

(i hope it is still enjoyable regardless)

-zero <3

(I super don't know anything about pokemon, but i DO know what a trubbish is. probably exclusively because it's my favorite pokemon. How you managed to get that right by complete accident is a wonder but also kismet i feel)

I'm going to do the bullet point method because otherwise I'll ramble off on a tangent and we'll never come back from it.

- Dude, you're one of the most involved, interesting writers I've ever written against. And I feel like that might seem like a backhanded compliment or something, calling it 'interesting' rather than 'good'? Like OBVIOUSLY, it's very good, you're clearly a writer who knows the craft inside and out, but there's something that goes beyond just good for me. I wish I could think of a more evocative term for it, but it's just fascinating to watch you work. How you craft internal pathos, how you investigate your characters, the intensity you bring to the table. You should feel VERY proud of what you bring to the table as a writer, and you should know just how much it is appreciated by those you thread with.

- YOU ARE ALSO A FANTASTIC ARTIST? I already gushed to you on discord about this, but I love this drawing and will treasure it always. I love watching you explore your original concepts on plurk and build them out through writing and design. I think a mind as deft at high concepts as you is gonna really create something special and I can't wait to see it/read it/experience it.

- YOU'RE A REALLY GOOD FRIEND AND MY VISION IS BLURRING A LITTLE BIT, SO THERE. HAVE IT. HAVE YOUR STATUS AS A+ ZERO.

Em, you are so kind and generous to everyone you meet, and I know this shows your true heart to everyone who meets you online the same as it would for people who know you IRL. I have enjoyed knowing you and watching as you post about your life and your pets, and your talent and perseverance as an artist shows your character as well as your work ethic in the way you go about handling the things life is throwing at you. I wish for good things in your future and am here for you if you ever need anything from me.

Weh Marti, this is so kind of you to say. I've watched you too and enjoyed experiencing your own life through plurk updates and sharing the same online space! I'm so proud of you for the experiences you've fought through, and I CANNOT WAIT to play with you again. Hell, even if we don't, I'll continue to stalk you from afar like a total creeper because you're absolutely worth the effort.

I LOVE U!!!

THIS IS VERY VERY VERY GOOD AND THE FORMAT IS MAKING ME A LITTLE HAPPIER THAN IT PROBABLY SHOULD

Echo, you're an absolute wonder! How you manage to maintain the energy to be uproariously funny, write amazing tags, be a shoulder for literally everyone, and always have the right words to brighten up a day is beyond me. I know I've told you this before, but you seriously inspire me every day to be a little closer to my best self.

I'll let you in on a secret, Em: you inspire me, too.

Everyone is so kind and wonderful, all of you make me want to be better and do better. And if I can do that for you at all, a little bit, in turn... well, maybe we'll all get better together. That sounds pretty great to me.

Also, I'm glad my deliberately ridiculous format worked. :D I felt like Papyrus was absolutely the right person to deliver that message, he's very good at this sort of thing.

EMMMMMMMMMMMMM god I know I say it constantly but it needs to be said more, you are SO GOOD AND SO SWEET!!! You've been through so much shit lately and you're still kicking and worrying about others and just??? An excellent human being?? You're so fucking talented and I'm blown away by everything you do, and I really hope things start to turn up for the better! You've more than earned some good!!!!

It's quick and kind of shitty because I'm half dead but IT YA GORL

Edited 2018-11-23 04:31 (UTC)

MY POSSUM GORL!! SHE'S HERE!

Casey, you know what I gotta do. I gotta get the bullet points. Here they come. You ready? Are you sure? 3, 2, 1 cue cowboy bebop theme

- You are seriously one of my best friends, period. I remember when we first met like, by complete happenstance in a TDM. LITTLE DID I KNOW, you would prove to be one of the kindest, funniest, most talented people I've ever met. I can't count the amount of times you've helped bail me out of a bad place with a kind word, great tag, or amazing laughs

- YOU'RE SUCH A FANTASTIC ARTIST AND WRITER. I think I've told you this a million times but it bears repeating. The way you craft a character narrative and a unique voice is so amazing to bear witness to and play against. I trust you implicitly when we're writing together. You always pick up what I put down and, in turn, you're able to communicate so much to me without us ever having to confer OOC. I JUST LOVE WRITING WITH YOU SO MUCH.

I LOVE YOU CASEY YOU'RE IMPORTANT TO ME

HELLO EM! This is Pen, aka that one weirdo who drew a potato Sans in MSpaint. I haven't known you that long, but I've loved your art since pretty much the beginning of Undertale. But you're not just a wonderful artist, you're also a wonderful person! I'm excited to get to know you better, you're kind and sweet and a joy to talk to. I'm sorry to hear you're going through a rough patch. I hope things ease up for you soon <3

This is kinda awkward, because I've been lowkey highkey stalking your Sans for AGES. You're an incredible writer and I've used you for inspiration (and just plain entertainment in the long period I wasn't RPing) countless times. You're hilarious and I want to draw more vegetables with you!!!

In short, I'm a major creeper, you're SO incredible both at writing and at this egg we're fans of, and I basically always wanna talk to you more! HIT ME UP AND TALK TO ME WHENEVER 'CUZ I'M ALWAYS INTO IT.

BRUH WHAT. ME. REALLY? WHUT. But I was looking to your Sans for inspiration too HOW.

LMFAO WERE WE CREEPING ON EACH OTHER THIS WHOLE TIME OMG

aaaaa

THE WHOLE TIME!!!!!

kind of typical sans behavior though huh like looking at another sans and going "well he probably has his shit a bit more together than me, even though he's me"

so i guess the bottom line is we're both IC af

let's play them against each other sometime and break the universe

please god yes. maybe we can get zero and have a sans party

also flood my inbox pestering each other which also seems really IC.

hurhgufjdkl sorry birb

what's up em it's me your worst nightmare

i'm actually shockingly bad at on-the-spot coming up with things to say because i tend to just say them as i'm thinking them, but when i think about what i'd like to hear people say to me if i was down i can sort of get some ideas.

basically,

you're a wholly capable human being who is independent and stronk as hell. it seems to me that sometimes you feel alone which i think is a pretty normal human emotion, but i want you to know that you have loads of people who are out here to respect you, love you, and treasure their friendship with you, and i think it's important that you know how strongly everyone feels about you with regards to these categories, even when you're feelin dark.

keep smashing it at life (you're great at it, even though it may not seem like it all the time from your perspective) and know that there's a lot of people who think you're spectacular continuously 24/7.

i can't draw at all so please find below my special spaghetti carbonara recipe, with plenty of eggs to carry you through any troubling times.

Spaghetti alla Carbonara

2 tbsp olive oil
Generous 1/2 cup bacon, cut into matchsticks
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 lb spaghetti
3 eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
Salt and Pepper

1. Bring a large pan of water to a boil. In a medium frying pan, heat
the oil and sauté the bacon and the garlic until the bacon renders its
fat and starts to brown. Remove and discard the garlic. Keep the
bacon and its fat hot until needed.
2. Add salt and the spaghetti to the boiling water, and cook until it
is al dente.
3. While the pasta is cooking, warm a large serving bowl. Break the
eggs into a mixing bowl, beat in the parmesan cheese with a fork and
season with salt and pepper.
4. As soon as the pasta is done, drain it quickly and mix in the egg
mixture. Pour on the hot bacon and the fat. Stir well. The heat from
the pasta and bacon fat will cook the raw eggs.
5. Pour into the heated serving bowl and serve immediately.

i love you so so so so so so so so so so so so so

so so so so so so so so so

much

I know you well enough to know that I think you might actually die if I spelled out everything I love about you, but I think I can tell you this much and hope it communicates everything: I am actively, aggressively, eagerly, thoughtfully planning a trip to see you As Soon As I Can. You're funny, incredibly interesting, someone who I want to go drinking with and also talk about nerd shit with until dawn breaks. Your birds will scare me but I'm still determined to come to ol' NewZee and ruin it with my presence.

And if you ever want to play Mass Effect with me, literally ever, streaming, anything at all, please do it for me I want to know everything there is to know. Also, I will write you 10,000 starters so pick something and we'll thread it like. Tonight. CAPICHE?

Hello Em! We don't know each other so I hope this message doesn't weird you out. I heard through the plurk grapevine that you've had a rough time of things lately so I wanted to reach out to you here. I want to remind you of how invaluable you are to your friends and family, and how loved you are and how wonderful it really is to be you. After seeing how many people want to rally around you, I can tell that you are a kind, thoughtful and loving person. You deserve as much love and kindness as you spread to the world. You are so loved. Never forget that.

I don't know what fandoms you like or what your taste in music is so I've compiled a list of different songs I like to listen to every now and then. I hope you like them. I hope they bring you happy feelings.

Take care of yourself.

I know we don't know each other super well, but your posts are a joy and I wish you best, best luck in the new year.

DUDE!! I think I've told you before that our threads in Sav were some of my favorite, period. I really hope we can play again, because your posts are ALSO a joy and I just love having you on my timeline! Thank you for this delicious and raisin free offering, I will treasure it always along with u.

Hallooooooo

Not much to offer besides someone else's GOOD ART!!

Haven't known you long, but you are good and always awesome to blab at. Your art and writing are also fantastic. Hope things look up for you soon ♥

Thanks so much!! Don't worry, I'M FEELING PRETTY GREAT NOW, SO THINGS HAVE INDEED LOOKED UP!

You're the best and I'm so touched by this. ;; I've really enjoyed hanging out and chatting with you more, you're one of my fave new friends and I am so excited to tag you back. THANK YOU FOR BEING PATIENT WITH ME AS I FIGHT THROUGH. THE JUNGLE OF MY BUSINESS. Three weeks and freedom will reign...

You're a super excellent writer and I'm so stoked to keep playing with you!

Em you are sincerely one of the most talented, compassionate, and admirable people I know. Your strength and persistence alone are traits I'm in awe of, but on top of that your art is FANTASTIC--seriously, I'm jealous, it makes me want to pick up drawing/painting again myself--and you're one of the sweetest human beings I've ever met. You've said before that it felt like we clicked immediately when we hung out--that feeling was definitely mutual and I would jump at the chance to spend time with you again.

You are a GREAT person and I'm so glad I was lucky enough to meet you.

I don't have any art to give you but if you like I will send you various pictures of my cats cuddling.

PLEASE PICK UP DRAWING AND PAINTING AND SHOW ME EVERYTHING SO WE CAN COLLAB AND SHIT

I'm literally dying to hang out with you again. It is STUPID we are like 4 hours away from each other and we've yet to get baked and watch stupid tv or something. I want to show you my pups and hang out post haste so LET'S FIGURE OUT A TIME AND DO THE DARN THING.

You're also an incredible person and funny, sweet, a GREAT writer, and someone who I could listen to talk all day long! SEND ME ALL THE CAT PICTURES ASAP.

Oh hewwo again <3

Whilst I've known you for a comparatively short time, it's been more than long enough to see a multitude of wonderful aspects that you have to share. You're such a welcoming and kind person, who goes above and beyond when it comes to engaging with new and old friends alike. Seeing your passion and dedication for what you do has been a genuine inspiration as well; truly, you're a remarkable person!

It's been so nice to get to know you and learn just who Em is... that name that brings warmth to so many just by mere mention. I realize life has been pretty tough for a while, but I'm really glad you're still going strong.

I have a little something I'm working on for you--but it's not quite ready yet, so I'll have to surprise you with it later. <3 Take care of yourself- and thank you for being you!

Your cryptic promise of future delights has me excited and also BOWLED OVER because setting all this up is already just. Above and beyond anything I would EVER expect?? I'm nearly at the end of this page here and I'm just a complete mess. But a very happy mess, and I know a lot of the blame for that rests on you.

I honestly can't wait to jump into your game, dude. If anything, the way you are sort of a natural leader, a beautiful writer, and an incredible force of good in the people you know has shown me that anything you're helping operate is going to be an amazing force of good in the lives of the people you're guiding. I am so glad we've gotten to know each other better, because in addition to being sweet as fuck I've also learned you are FUNNY AS FUCK.

I'm so overjoyed by you and I am so glad we're friends. Thank you so much, for everything. ;;

im late to this bc i really wanted to draw you something but the fates have not conspired to permit it -- instead u gotta settle for me yodelling abt how fond i am of u which is: IMMENSELY, youre terrific and powerful and i am blest 2 consider u a friend! you deserve all the goodness there is and every ugly drawing of your dogs i could ever possibly do. i hope our paths cross again in the meat zone again sooner rather than later but until then know that im beaming good vibes down to the desert 24/7

stay tremendous (no pressure though you are tremendous always without exerting any effort whatsoever)

HARRY I LOVE YOU. THIS THANKSGIVING MADE ME SAD IN PART BECAUSE I REMEMBERED HANGING OUT WITH YOU FOR THE LAST ONE. We have incredible times. Soon the day will come when you meet my bean and hold clementine's witchly hands once more

I could write so much more about how impressive you are. How much you've fought through. How much I want everything to be good for you in perpetuity. But instead I'm going to drape myself across you in a wave, warming you with my vast body.

Em
