I know we haven't talked all that much, but I still wanted to do something for you so you know I'm still thinking of you. You're a great person, and honestly, you're at least part of my descend into butai since I doubt I would have found half of these Kento things until way later if it hadn't been for your great help and support. You've always been super sweet and I love our interactions, sporadic as they may be. I LITERALLY PUT YOUR RETURN DATE AFTER HIATUS ON MY CALENDAR... I REMEMBER THAT BEING A THING I DID.. but it's great to see you around again occasionally now, and I hope you're doing a lot better now you've got those exams done with. c: I know I can always come to scream to you when there's another new dumb Kento thing or I got his photobook and realise his true heritage as the long lost twin of Shuuto in his weird.. outfit with stars all over...
(To not even speak of the weird yellow yakuza suit with shorts and old-fashioned shoes. What were these stylists on.)
I hope to be able to talk to you more in the future or that in any case, you at least have a lovely 2016. ♥ Don't work too hard or empty your wallet for butai too much!
Wendy!! We haven't talked much outside of Twitter and we've only just gotten to know each other, but I love your commentary on butai and everything surrounding it so much. I'm pretty sure 80% of my twitter likes are you by now, you're taking over...
You always seem incredibly charming and your sense of humor brightens up the world for some people, I'm sure. It always makes me smile to see your tweets on my dash, anyway. You calling Daisuke egg like a codename never fails to get me, it's adorable. And I was honestly flattered when you said you wanted to talk to me more since I'm... not that interesting... BUT I FELT HAPPY OKAY. So thank you for that.
I hope to be able to follow your tweets for a long time to come, and that I may see a lot of great butai commentary from you come 2016 too. ♥ Why is Yuuki/Hiroshi/Kento/Egg/insert actor that's currently sinning here indeed.
SHADE.. what couldn't I say about you, honestly. Despite not having known each other that long on a grand scale of things, you've been there for me during some of my worst moments. And the other way around, I suppose. At first you kind of intimidated me since you seemed like you knew SO MUCH and I'm the kind of person who's always not sure if 1+1 is really two or if I didn't just make that all up in my head. But as I started talking to you more, especially one on one, I realised you're just a fluffy bunny deep down under it all, and it became a lot easier to just relax until we've gotten to this point.
You're a great person - super creative, mostly, and while I know you can be nervous to throw your work out there sometimes, you still manage to do it in the end and it's always great. I always like reading your stuff, and you got me into ships involving OCs, which is something I haven't been doing in a long time, honestly. And yet here I am in Mamoki and Itsumi hell, never to leave.. To not even mention how incredibly thoughtful you are with how you always know if something is up with me and you always are at ready to throw cute sketches or a listening ear or virtually anything at me to cheer me up. It means tons to me that you take such good care of me - good knows I need it, haha.
Here's to a great 2016 for the local bunnies. Thank you so much for everything until now. ♥ One day I'll figure out how to repay you for it.
I'm pretty sure that I've already written so many of these messages for you that I've said just all about there is to say, but whatever, you're still getting a Christmas message, hubby. Especially since my gift for you is apparently lost somewhere in the netherworld so ENJOY THIS UNTIL YOU GET IT.. IF YOU GET IT.. HOPEFULLY...
But you know I absolutely adore you, hubby. You're one of the friends I've been close to the longest at this point, and even if technically (if you look at it super relatively) it hasn't been super duper five years long or anything, it still feels like it's been forever already at this point. I always appreciate you being into the same stuff as me so we can yell about them back and forth all the time-- and even that you let me drag you into them to begin with, even though Messiah and butai has shaved years off your already old woman life. Whoops.
You're one of the kindest and most understanding person I've met in my life. You always try to see everyone's point of view and it's honestly pretty hard to really rile you up aside from a few specific things - it's something I really admire, as someone who's super quick to take sides, LMFAO. Lend me some of your chill and kindness, hubby, I need it. Except don't since I love you just the way you are. You're always there for me when I really need it and you don't mind if I stupidly jokingly insult you since it's.. what hubbies do, I guess.. I mean, just look at Sano and Shinpachi, role models right there. Who wouldn't want to live their life that way.
Anyway, I adore you, hubby. Have been for a while now and will continue doing so if you'll let me. I hope 2016 is great for you and that Maasa remembers to shave.
(Please. For the love of god and the entire Sano club.)
Manda moooom. I have so many things to be thankful for when it comes to you. ;; You're always so kind, I can't believe you got everyone presents like that.. I'm still terrified of what's coming my way, honestly, I'm still not done planning my funeral even though I probably should at this point. Not to mention all the work you do with translating things and scanning things.. especially the scanning, holy shit, there's so many beautiful articles I never would have seen or read if it wasn't for all the work you do, thank you so much for all that.
You're always great at looking after people and giving out advice.. I guess it's true after all that every group of friends has a mom type, huh. I'm sorry, but you're stuck driving this minivan of butai children since you're just the best at it. You've helped me out tons with your kindness and I always love to hear you spazz about something or another. Sharing excitement over SSL stuff with you is always the best, one day we'll get all that merch for sure.
Thank you so much for everything this year-- I really mean it. It's hard to put into words since there's just so much to thank you for. I know you've had some super difficult times, but you can always count on me when stuff gets tough, alright? We're all here for you, so let's make 2016 much more magical than 2015. ♥ I love you.
Hi Cal!! I know it's been quite a while since we've properly talked since you've been.. everywhere and nowhere, really. YOU WORLD TRAVELLER, YOU, why can't we all enjoy going back and forth everywhere like that. But I still wanted to give you something small for Christmas, since you definitely deserve it.
Hopefully you'll have more time to breathe and be around again sometime soon, because you're definitely missed when you're not there! You're such a kind and funny hamster senpai (I'm still not sure how that happened, but it's just a thing now, okay). I love reading your thoughts about things, since you usually think so deeply about things and analyze them well - I always love that sort of thing in people. Not to mention that you're great with writing, cosplay, art.. really, is there anything creative you can't do?? Leave some talent for the rest of us peasants, gosh.
There's been some tough times and some good times in 2015 for you from what I can gather, so I hope 2016 will at least be like that, but of course it would be even better if it was an amazing year. Let's do our best for that next year too!
OH MY GOSH I NEARLY MISSED THIS. I totally didn't click on the "merry christmas"; too excited yelling about my Saitous djslkfajfd
But that being said, thank you for such a sweet message. 2015 have been weirdly tough, but we made it though. I'm apparently a senpai and I have a hamster kouhai and it's so cute and great. YOU ARE ALSO JUST AS TALENTED and for the time we briefly rped together, it was so fuuuun.
Hopefully 2016 will be a better, brighter year. lol I'm really glad I recognised your name from plurk and started talking :D I don't regret knowing you. Thanks again for the message, Jelle. Maybe next year be more awesome ♥
Long time no talk, Steph, but you can rest assured that I haven't forgotten about you at all. ♥ I hope stuff has been a little easier (or at least.. less tough..) on you lately. I saw you had your trip and that looked like tons of fun, so hopefully that at least helped with stuff!
Because you definitely deserve to have a nice holiday season - you're seriously funny as hell (I'll never get over a single one of your Messiah liveblogging posts, really) and even more creative than that. Some of your fanfics are definitely among the fics I love the most, if not all the way up there. They never fail to put a smile on my face or get me all emotional, and your way of describing things and thinking about things is definitely unlike any other person out there. It's such a unique but great style, and it carries over into anything you do, not just writing.
I know I suck at hitting up people and I thought you might need your space, but if you ever do want to talk, never hesitate to hit me up, okay. I love talking to you whenever, but please take things at your own pace. Looking out for yourself is important, and you're going to get there. You always do.
NINAAAA. There's so much I could say here that I don't even know how to start, honestly. So let's just start with saying merry Christmas!! I hope stuff is all going okay over there with your mother, at least you're finally getting a break from all the school work that's been weighing down on you.
Anyway, meeting you was definitely one of the highlights of 2015 for me. You're just such a genuinely kind, energetic and bubbly person that it instantly cheers up people around you and endears them to you - it's a very great quality to have as a person. You always try so hard to check up on me (although you never have to apologize for not asking how I am, really, don't fuss it!!) and cheer me up, not to mention that you're just so adorable. You're like some kind of cute hamster.. bunny.. cutesy animal thing. I just want to pick you up and squeeze you, because you're lovely.
Never forget that you're a super kind, beautiful and amazing person. Or if you do, I'll just remind you of it, okay?
Let's have an amazing 2016 with even more talking. We're going to make it through. ♥
I want you to know that I considered just copy pasting the lyrics to this here and leave it at that, but that wouldn't be the best Christmas message, would it.
So anyway, it's been great meeting you this year, Shannon. It's been fun to have more people to talk kpop with, even if we might sometimes be into slightly different groups. I'M SO ENVIOUS YOU GET TO SEE APINK YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. MAKE SURE TO ENJOY IT FOR BOTH OF US.
You're always so funny, no matter what you're talking about, and it's even better to have someone in the sin pit with us. I can't believe how quickly you fell for Yuuki, it still makes me laugh thinking about it. Don't worry, I'll make sure to throw more sinful Yuuki your way in 2016.
And possibly terrible Luhan releases. Because that's what friends do, right.
Thanks for everything in 2015, let's strive to make 2016 even better!!
MAYBE YOU'LL BE SURPRISED TO SEE THIS.. or maybe not! But in either case I wanted to make something small for you too for Christmas. Especially since there's been so many times when I've been down and posted about it, and you were always one of the first to reply to it or (thanks to tumblr taking away replies) send me an ask/fanmail/chat about it.
It's always meant a lot to me. You're such a great person who's always looking after other people in small ways, and honestly, I think that's definitely what matters. Those kind of things really can save people, and I know they've helped me plenty of times. So I just wanted to say thank you for all that.
Let's keep it up in 2016. ♥ (Also, write more great fics so I continue to stalk those!!)
2015 has, as we both know, been a super eventful year. With ups and downs for sure, but even so, I've been super glad that I was able to meet you. You're an adorable and sweet person, always so conscious of other people that you start to fuss yourself to death over it. I know it's hard for you, but try to worry less - we'd all want you to be able to do that and feel happier, really. You deserve it, especially during this holiday season.
Talking with you about butai is always a delight since our taste in theatre aligns pretty much perfectly - not to mention kpop and videogames and pretty much.. everything.. else.. we talk about now. It's been a very slippery slope straight into sin, that's for sure.
Thank you for everything you've done for me this year. I hope that next year will give you lots of breaks, and that you can slowly, step by step, start to be easier on yourself.
Like Vincent van Gogh said one time: "Ah, how I’d like you to see everything that I see these days! With so many beautiful things before me, I can’t help letting myself go." Never forget there's so many beautiful and great things around you every day. Instead of thinking too much about the bad things, let's appreciate the little good days that come every day, okay?
Have a great 2016. Hopefully see you this summer. ♥
BAI
(To not even speak of the weird yellow yakuza suit with shorts and old-fashioned shoes. What were these stylists on.)
I hope to be able to talk to you more in the future or that in any case, you at least have a lovely 2016. ♥ Don't work too hard or empty your wallet for butai too much!
