Valentine's Day... It is a love/hate thing for so many. We want to feel loved but maybe we don't feel we are. Sometimes we are too scared to put ourselves out there, sometimes we are too afraid too accept the love we get. Sometimes we are just too cynical and scorned to believe that even the love we see is real. Life sucks a lot of the time and these feelings are understandable. And this is every day. Then Valentine's Day rolls around and it is like all that just becomes focused and intensified ten fold.

So this is my Valentine to RPG. To this little site that let's us come together and create whatever we wish. To every member, even you trolls. You are loved. Without all of you we wouldn't be the community we are. We wouldn't have the fun we have. We wouldn't have the friends we have made or the shoulders to lean on when the outside world didn't understand. Happy Valentine's Day to each of you. You are so very treasured.



Those that want to jump in on this, please do! Leave a little love for those that are most dear to you. Love isn't always about romance. It is about friendship and family. It's about the smiles and laughs and even the tears. It's about how we learn and grow. So while I know some troll is probably going to drop by and put something cynical here, don't let that dissuade you. Don't be afraid. Let those that mean so much to you know it and while you are a it, love yourself as well. I'll start by giving some love to my main peeps. (And yeah I'm a day early starting this but hey, love doesn't need a day. It should be everyday.)

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

@Fabricant451 Ahh, such wisdom from the hobbits. "If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world."

Same feelings when it comes to the intro, so I can relate to this. Valentine's day is a love/hate thing with me due to past experiences with it but trying to be positive when sometimes things around me is not positive at all. I feel like I don't know people on this site as well as they deserve to through an effort to do that is enough for me right now.

• Like @Vampiretwilight who is one of my roleplay partners on here but she has been supportive of me when I lost a pet I had for 17 years and was going on an 18th year.
• Also @Angelbites15 is a pretty good and creative person when it came to the RP I have with her and she has been an open mind like my other partner too.
• @Denny and @Sanguine Rose due to these two working on a small three-way RP I have with these two and with their minds and good hearts I appreciate them while also doing the same responsibility of the RP while juggling life these two I thank for the effort and time they have put in.
• @AlternateMan Through there have been some gaps of our time I appreciate the effort of the RP we have that he puts in.
• @wheels I love her consistency in the RP we have but that is something I appreciate from her.

There are a few people who I've been friends with for a long period of time that I think deserve some recognition for the friendship I've have with them.

@Dragonbud, @Ruler Inc, @Maxx, @He Who Walks Behind, @Spoopy Scary, @SepticGentleman, I mean it when I say this, you have all been there for me when I needed to feel understood, or not alone. Over all the years, through all the moves, the breakups, the changes, the one thing I could always count on were you. Thank you for thinking of me. For reserving part of your mind for my birthday or the books that I like to read. Thank you for being my friends.

Fuck the whole lot of you.

As of late @Lord Wraith has also found a place for me, and has chosen to trust me and include me in many things despite being relatively new to one another. Thank you for that, because as far as I am concerned you're on that list too. I look forward to the many laughs we have in the future regardless of what it will bring.

This made me feel things.



So since I am in a feeling mood I will contribute to this lovey-dovey thread for a holiday I absolutely dislike. But there are some awesome people I have met through this site and they do deserve recognition for being awesome people in a world full of not so awesome people.

To start, I have to give it to @Lord Wraith for being my first friend on this site. We were in a lot of RPs together and I joined a few of his that never seemed to pan out, but I always had fun making characters and joining them and I think that is, in large part, why I am confident in my character making abilities now. He's also like, super sweet, so there's that.

Next, @Lady Amalthea. Lord, where do I begin with this? You terrified the fuck out of me when I first met you. I believe I was thinking of joining your murder mystery RP and got so intimidated by you and what others have said that I bowed out. Or you denied me. I don't remember which and, frankly, I blocked it mostly out of my memory. But then I tried again and found my roleplay home. We are years strong in our RPs and that is thanks to you. I am more confident in my RP abilities thanks to feedback, advice, and a good ass kicking now and then. Also, I am sassy as all hell and the fact you cherish that means the world to me.

@Morose is up next and I feel a genuine connection to you. I feel that we can shoot the breeze together in Discord and its like we've been friends for years. You are an amazing GM and person in general and I feel blessed that you trust me enough to ask my advice or ask me questions regarding literally anything.

@Nallore is sweet. Like my God I would love to see her rage out on someone because I don't believe it can be done. Even when she needs to put the kibosh on something she does it in a way as to not hurt feelings. Total opposite from me, but I think the yin and yang thing we got going on works well.

@BlueSky44 is hard working. You can tell from her RPs and when she misses an update for whatever reason and feels bad about it. You are kind of quiet, but I have enjoyed talking with you on those occasions and your RPs are unique and fun (especially Xmen which is definitely in my top 3 fav RPs at the moment).

@LadyRunic has folded herself into the family and her characters and storytelling abilities are fricken' amazing. I feel her characters can be in a number of novels and be praised for having realistic faults and desires and it comes across well in her writing. You make me want to be a better writer which I both hate and love you for.

I would be here all day if I had to name more so I will give a collective "you rock" to everyone in the RPs I am in currently because it's been a hell of a ride thus far and I look forward to seeing where the madness takes us.

@JunkMail Eternity lasts forever, but the sunset is a reflection of our souls.

Let’s have sex.

Eh, I'll just copy Lady A's formatting for this.

Like the cheap knock off I am, I'll just copy it, too.




Perhaps the most daunting part of this list's the fact that it's so short. A few years ago I'd had 20 names on this list. Times really have changed.

@Hillan Nothing wrong with the length of the list. Short or long, all that matters is having a few to count on. ^^

Well, I don't venture that much out of my own little circlejerk and when I do I unfortunately do not get the same people enough to get as acquainted as I would like to, however I would make note of:

@Briza my Siastra ŭ Chryscie

and @JBCool, for putting up with my silliness.

Beyond that, I think everyone on this site has redeeming qualities that will shine given the chance. Of course that sounds like a load of shit but I firmly believe it.

I just want to thank my RP family "GTP" who welcomed this weird Swedish boy in to their RP group and not even once have they made me feel lesser then because of my shoddy English! Love you guys, without you I'd probably be of this site! @Dirty Pretty Lies, @Altered Tundra, @Hero, @Ejected, @eclecticwitch, @SpicyMeatball, @HaleytheRandom, @voltaic, @Inkarnate, @Syn, @Okonuki and @Aewin

Love y'all!

A seasonal gushing thread? Feh! The cynic in me wants to fight it, but just like everyone else there’s a lot I owe to people on this site. Mostly for putting up with my overzealous bullshit. Biggest nods for those closest to me – @Ladypug, @DruSM157, @Sloth, @Nuttsnbolts, @McMolly, and @Euphonium – for sticking by me and weathering the storm so to speak. I would do anything in my power to help you if you ever needed it and you know that. You are the people that keep me writing and interacting with the community.

For everyone else that stuck with my RPs or just kept close interaction, thank you so very much. Specifically:

@Inkarnate

You're gonna make me blush you dork.

BUT I GUESS SINCE I WAS SUMMONED I GOTTA SHOUT OUT SOME PEOPLE SO. UM??

Inky-daddy obviously (haha), but also @DruSM157, @NuttsnBolts, @Mcmolly, @BeepBoop, my brother and mother, and there's some off-site friends of mine that I also appreciate a bunch too but since they're off site I can't exactly @ them. So. Yeah.

<3

i have an actual valentine unlike u virgins
_{@deadbeatwalking (rip my nibba) @chais bellybutton @tuujaimaa @asura and his cum gravy @syn @ayzrules @sloth}

Since this is a thing, I might as well share the love with everybody. I've known some of these guys on the list for many years at this point, some since the very beginning of my time on the guild, but rest assured I love all you assholes equally. Except for @Melo, he gets a little more because boyfriend privilages.

@Melo My real life valentine. I love you, my soulmate. We've been together for almost two years, in fact that's a celebration for next week, but it feels like we've been together forever. You make me a better person and I couldn't ask for a better future husband. I'll stop here before I write you a love letter, but you'll get a special mention bc u ma boo.

@Altered Tundra @Dirty Pretty Lies @Hero @spooner @SpicyMeatball @BrokenPromise @Vocab @addamas@Mara @Syn @Ejected - You guys are very cool too.

^{Stealth tagging @LetMeDoStuff because without him I wouldn't be on this site in the first place. Even though we don't talk anymore, you're still very cool.}

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go back to lurking your roleplays.
