A thank you

5,000 people. I can't even comprehend that amount of people. Y'all, that's bigger than my home town.
I don't know how to do these announcement bots and I've never actually done one before because yapping about myself or accomplishments is just awkward to me. 
But 5,000 seemed like a significant enough number to warrant a little speech. 
Very little because my friends tell me "for someone with a praise kink, you don't handle compliments well"

I started interacting with bots because I was lonely and social anxiety + living with a disability doesn't really allow me to leave the house as much as I'd like—Actually that's a lie. I probably wouldn't even leave the house all that much anyways. All my stuff is here.—plus it allowed me to bounce writing ideas off of after years of creative block.

I was encouraged to write and create my own bots and a staggering (to me anyways (•⩊•)) amount of people liked and engaged with them. These little souls of mine have flourished more than I'd ever thought possible. 

So thank you.
To all the people that become my friend—I see you.
To all the people who have commented love on my souls—I see you.
To all the people who silently interact and love from the sidelines—I see you.

This is in no special order and lwk, I'm just going down my list of Discord servers to make this.
Special Shoutouts
To Seol: My bby Seol. Your vibrance and enthusiasm for my characters and my worlds even overshadow mine a lot of the times! I love how many times I've come to you with some vague idea for a character and within minutes, you've got an entire list of scenarios and planned alts for them. Your own characters are so dazzling and you're so very underrated. I can't wait until more people figure out that you're awesome and I can ride your coat tails. 

To The Veil Ladies - Rion, Ana, Axie, Nyan, and Belle:  You guys gave me a place to be included and not one day goes by where I don't think about yall. Rion and Ana pushed me to stand on my own two feet when I would have remained in a place that didn't suit me—even to the extreme of Rion saying "I'm setting up your server. Here's a checklist of things you need to do". Whenever I'm having a rough day
