It's That Time Of Year When It's Time To Turn Into A Sap For Two Minutes And Give My Heartful Thanks

It's that time of year when it's time to turn into a sap for two minutes and give my heartful thanks for all the things that have gone right this year. Man, what a time - what a year! It's gone by so quickly, but let me take a moment to reflect and share what I'm thankful for. :)

Back in April, when I finally actively started using Tumblr (I had made the account previously but never used it, so congratulations to my three years on Tumblr, I guess? lol ^^;), I didn't think I would make friends through it. I thought I would occasionally post something about BSD and call it a day. Maybe only post fic updates because Kitten Era was in the works, and I didn't think I would have much interaction with anyone.

And then, with all my shitposting and talking into the void, I came upon a very special friend, @anticidic. I'm thankful for you because you have challenged my writing and turned my crack into genuine fics (honestly, it still sends), and you're a great source of inspiration when I need it. I've also turned into a bit of a gremlin since then... so I apologize. We've shared lots of laughs and giggles since we've met. I'm happy to have met you and be your friend.

My next big thanks go to @k-aez for the Discord server. I thought branching out and talking to others with similar interests would be fun (didn't want to only talk Rosie's ears off), and it was like entering a humble little home with other BSD artists and writers. It's been such a blast and a wonderful time getting to be a part of such a wonderful group of people! I also really like the way you say boar... it sounds nice, hehe.

My next big thanks go to @iwantmochisoup for being a wonderful friend and making all the lovely catzai art that fuels my inspiration, hehe. Besides your art, I'm happy to have met you, haunted ghosts, and talked BSD with you. You've become super brave, and I'm super proud of you!

I also want to thank @msshinylemon @spccts @nevertheblood for sprint writing with me on days when I felt I had no motivation. Catching you guys sprinting motivates me to get my thoughts together, and I love it when we give each other little pats on the backs for even the one sentence we manage to crank out some days, lol! The life of a writer, am I right?

I also want to thank my AO3 readers. I never expected anyone to enjoy the silly things I put out or the writing that I did, and honestly, I might have stopped after KE was done, and ghosted like I was never there. And then WIP after WIP later, I'm still here.

To my mooties, you guys rock, and if you are reading this, just know I'm happy that we've interacted before in some way, shape, or form. I wish you all the best and the most filling Thanksgiving ever! I'm thankful for all of you.
