2. Idk honestly I think it's because how mellow he is and down to earth. Sadly we haven't talked much but once someone gets a headset.... yeah :D
3. Favorite things.... Um I like punk music and skateboarding!
4. I like acasual drinking and BSing mainly. Not getting drunk just chilling.
2. My husband and soul mate. we met many years ago on an old roleplaying forum and fell in love. I moved from colorado to florida to be with him. HE understand me better than anyone, can make me smile when I cry and knows how to help whne I am sick which is often.
3. roleplaying, tea, heroclix, comics, videogames, doctor doom
4.we rp, get food, play super smash bros on our DSs, cosplay together, love together, live together <3
2. As I stated they are my closest friend, we have been fiends for years now though its hard to imagin its been so long. No matter what though we have always been there for each other, through bad relationships/decisions, issues and troubles far beyond our control, just everything. He suffers a lot with a multitude of stuff and somehow still manages to keep a smile which is a strength I admire and aim for constantly. I'm been through so much with him, his proposal to his girlfriend, lost of his dog (which was returned like a year later and I was in tears I was so happy), countless medical issues which are not my place to go through. And hes been with me through the split of my parents, bad breakups, medical issues of my own. But with the sad stuff aside we are often caught just laughing our asses off together which means the world to us to have those super just stupid happy moments. Just yeah if I could gift something to anyone it would be them just to show them even more just how much I appreciate their company and friendship.
3. Tea, anime, (porn shh :D), video games, going to the sand dunes with bikes and buggies being lazy when they actually get the chance to.
4. We would watch so much anime and get take away food we would probably get so fat :p but nah we would go to the zoo, he would probably take me to the sand dunes then I'd get travel sick from bouncing around on them. And play so many video games.
2. she is amazing, Ive known her since highschool and even tho we have had our rough patches D: we seem to find our way back to each other. She is always there for me when im having a hard time. She knows who she is and even tho she may think other wise she is so confident and strong and beautiful. Not sure what i would do with out her sometimes.
3. lol favorite things.... im sure most could guess. dragons age, SPN, writing i think. she doesnt do it as much as she used to but she amazing at it. Hanging out with her peeps.
4. recently been doing these like midnight walks/talks those are fun, just chilling watching SPN or the occasional movie here and there, hookah <3
2. My soon to be husband and the absolute love of my life. When I was in a deep, and mangled place in my heart he broke me free of my restraints and helped me learn to love again, but the thing is, we helped one another. He was just as in a deep of a depression as I was and I swore to him that I would never leave his side, and I'm staying true to that. I love him with all of my heart and I'm never letting go♥
3.Building/Adventure games, Cars, Planes, Swimming, Roleplaying. His Alt. Self loves pillow fights, dressing up in kimono's and everything fluffy.
4. Kyro and I love to cuddle and play videos games with one another. We can't help but enjoy just being around one another ^^ Aruki and I love to giggle and roleplay as our snow mew's especially when we get to cuddle as well!
2. He has been there through my depression, happy times, sad times, any thing you can imagine! He's stayed by my side during my suicidal phase when I was in the hospital and never ceases to make me happy!
3. He loves 49er's football, motocross, food.... he's a hippo so he loves hippos. He also loves his fox (me ^^)
4. We recently moved in together and we play pokemon. watch tv, and do couple things.
But why is he special to me? There are hundreds of reasons why to be honest. I am a difficult person to be around. He puts up with my bullcrap A LOT! That alone makes him special in my book. That however does not begin to tell you how special he is to me.
We have been together near 8 years now. When we first met it was actually over the interwebs. -gasps- Yes, I know! We met up and went on our first date a few months after we started talking. It was a quick fall. I wasn't too easy to impress and I tend to pull and push people away. He fought for me. He saved me not only from myself, but a very abusive situation. I won't go into that, it's not worth the time when there are so many amazing things to tell you about him.
So, I push people away. I get scared, overwhelmed and I say mean and nasty things. He fought for me. Traveled over states to see me. To this very day he protects me and loves me for all my flaws! That in itself is amazing don't you think?
I could mention all of the little things, every little sappy story I have, but, really it would never really say enough about him.
He is the best person I have ever met and I am glad that he cares for me. I was blessed with a great guy!
As for what we like to do together, it really depends. Sometimes we like to go out to the movie together. Sometimes we go out to eat or go out with friends. We live together now, so we have all the time in the world to do things as a couple. Which is nice because I like to randomly go over to him and poke hime and tickle him. (He hates it, but it makes him smile and giggle so hard!)
Some of his favoooorite things! Oh man the list could go on and on and on. His favorite food is alligator, his favorite colour changes from green to orange. (Though I like saying orange because I can't see green!) He loves drawing! His favorite candy is jelly beans. He loves growing strawberries int he spring. His favorite pet is a cat. (Though I have tried to talk him into a dog more times then I can tell you!) He loves to play Tabletop games. (He is actually the creator of one that is coming out!) He loves to LARP. (Yes, we are NERDS! But, I love it!)
Man, this could go on forever and ever and ever... So, instead of giving you a book to read i'll end it here.
Plus, look at his cute face! -squishes his kitty face- (Okay, yeah, I am being awkward now...-wanders off-)
2. I love her so much, she is honestly the reason I wake up lately. She is the one friend who has always been by my side regardless of what was going on in our lives. We met on an app called Palringo a few years back and at first it was like a family bond. I was always there to listen to her and vice versa. But recently, we have gotten so much closer and last month she came to visit me. It was honestly the best day of my life, just being able to meet her and be reassured that our bond is just as strong in person. I'm not sure what I would do without her, she is the light of my life and I would go to the ends of the earth for her. Technically I am. I live in Florida and plan to move to Cali just to live by her because she is all I need in my life. I want to spoil her and make her as happy as the thought of her makes me.
3. She likes cats (ofcourse), music, games, and she LOVES striped socks. Like the knee high ones ;v; She also loves being cuddled and pet<3
4. We usually spend all day listening to music together. Before I met her, I didn't enjoy music much, but she introduced me and got me hooked onto groups like Rebelution, MGMT, etc. We are almost always on Skype too and snuggling is always fun too uvu
2. If I am every having a bad time I know I can text or Skype her and she will comfort me. We met thru Final Fantasy and developed a friendship then after about 9 months I asked her out and we have been bf/gf since lol. One of the first things we do every morning is greet each other with a "Good Morning" and we say "Good Night" before going to sleep. She is slowly teaching me Finnish (it's a mildly complicated language lol) She pushes me to better myself everyday but at the same time not to push myself to hard that I collapse. I have a strong drive to push myself as hard as I can, but I need someone to remind me that I am human and that if I don't watch out i can get hurt. She is a fun loving person who I enjoy making blush. We even made a game out of who can make the other blush more (I am winning atm 76 to 7). Honestly she is very special to me so much that I have been plotting her birthday surprises since Jan and have been teasing her every now and then that she has gifts coming but I wont tell her anything about them XD Slowly we are saving up so that I can go visit her for a weekend and hangout for the first time in person since we only live 5.5hrs away from each other. She constantly does free art for me even though I can't return the favor. (Seriously go look at her submissions lol alot of them are my sona Nocturne)
3. Banana Peppers, Oranges, cats, cuddling, art, puns
4. We love playing Final Fantasy A Realm Reborn together and 2 of our characters are gonna be married once I get mine to 50. She is slowly teaching me to draw and how to use sai. We haven't hung out in person yet but we talk everyday.
2. Being together in an ongoing real life relationship for eight and a half years since our freshman year in high school has been one of the best experiences of my life. Growing up and maturing with one another, spending those passing years shedding tears, joy, laughter and love. He's always been here for me any time that I've needed him. I don't think just anyone would tell you that they would gladly give up their fertility just to keep you there beside them than risk losing you in the future... This is personal, but, I feel this is the one thing that stands out most about our relationship. I found out the same year we got together that I cannot bare kids. Every trip to the specialist during hormone therapy and being pricked and prodded, he was always there. Always anxious and waiting in the waiting room for me to get back out and to hear the news. He could not stand the fact that he was never allowed to go back there to give me comfort whilst the tests and stuff were going on. So, for the four years of our high school careers, he stuck by me through so much pain. As he still does so today. <3
3. He loves wolves, tribal designs, classic video games (especially megaman and the tales of series), music, anime and novels.
4. We honestly love to watch anime, watch horror movies, and play video games together. He also loves to watch me draw and I like to watch him play video games when we don't have one to play together. We love to travel when we don't have moths flying out of our pockets :P
2. He has been there for me in ways that no one else has. He is my best friend and knows me like no one else does. We just had a baby in January and it takes my breath away when I see them laying together. He is a wonderful father, even when he thinks he's doing a bad job. He works super hard to make sure I get to stay at home with our son full time. Meeting him right here on FA was the greatest thing to ever happen to me. He has made me the happiest woman in the wrld. Because of him I'm sober and I no longer self-harm. He gave me strength by being there for me when I really needed someone. He moved all the way from Colorado, the only place he has ever known, to Ohio to be with me.
3. Some of his favorite things are tea, Assassin's Creed, D&D, Asian food, hiking, and books. :)
4. We love going to the park, out to restaurants, drawing together, snuggling with a movie, cooking together, etc. :3 I can't imagine doing day to day things without him being right there.
2. I care for them as much as I do because I've known them for 5 years now and over the years we haven't had time to talk very much due to life stuff but recently I've been through one of the hardest times I've ever experienced. It was losing two people I loved more then the world within a couple months of each other and it sent my anxiety and depression into a catastrophic frenzy. Like, I've never gone that deep into my depression in my entire life and it was scary, I wasn't able to cope with it and things got really bad for a really long time. So in the middle of it all I sent him a text, desperate for any sort of help and from that day forward we've spoken everyday. He was the only one I asked help from that stayed patient, and understanding. He never left my side despite just how bad and ridiculous it had gotten and sooner or later I was able to calm down and smile. We were able to talk like nothing was wrong and it's only gone up hill from there. I'm still on the road to recovery from all of it and he's still here when others have left because It's taken so long to make the progress. To me, someone who cares just that much and really means it when they say hey do is worth more then anything to me.
3. Some of their favorite things would definitely be music, it's always been a big part of his life and he even DJs now for live crowds and makes his own trance music. His DJ name is Gwi if you're curious o3o. Something else would be cars, definitely cars, he's all about them. He goes to meets and shows all the time. He learns everything he can and likes to work on his own and his friend's. He has a RC collection that he builds and customizes himself and even owns a car shop in Second Life lol xD
4. Some of my favorite things to do when I hangout with someone would be to just be able to sit there together and talk about everything under the moon. I love deeper conversations but I'm really bad at small talk. I like to relax and play video games or even just walk around in the mall or on trails. Sometimes my friends and I just binge watch animes or just casually watch movies too. So yeah, just simple stuff :>
1: My RP partner
2: He is by far the sweetest person to RP with. Once he gets to know you, he will try to comfort you when you are down, he will love your character and he isn't afraid to give advice to problems outside of the RP. He has helped me so often and been so forgiving to every thing that I have done to him...
3: Obviously he likes to RP, but he also likes to cuddle and to play video games (when he finds time)
4: I haven't actually met him face to face, but I would like to say hang out in our RP sessions...
I don't know if you count this as personal, but he is very important to me, and I wouldn't want to lose him, even if I have never met him...
2. We have been friends for 6 years. Seen the ups and downs of relationships and just been there for each other. We have exchanged art, we chat a lot, we share personal things, just...we're close. And I couldn't be happier with how close and how much I love this girl. She is a big influence to me, in art and in life, and I her. I could go into details, but some things are personal. We share a lot of the same past, the pains, and we have grown ever closer. Now that she has her baby girl, and mine due in 2 months, this will only bring our bond closer. And when we (finally) meet, we will have our lil girls and our girls day :)
3. She (and I) LOVE things from the sea. Nautical things, octopus, ect. She also loves MLP, cute things, lolita, bright colors. ^_^
4. When we meet, oh man! I think that it will be a lot of us talking, watching our lil girls play, MAYBE even cosplay/fursuit together :) And drinking tea!
My mate and lover is Ruadhir
2. Tell me why you love them so much : )
We met on the internet, and we were both just teenagers then. We talked almost twenty-four seven, and were constantly messaging one another through tough times. Both of our home lives were absolutely terrible, and we were three states away with no hope of seeing one another anytime soon. I'm not sure I can accurately describe how much he means, but I can tell you there were quite a few times he stopped me from killing myself. I was so close at times. He got me through high school and we dated on and off, though it was always long distance and that is always harder for teenagers.
When I graduated, we had grown apart. I went to college and we talked less and less, though there was the occasional session to keep in touch with one another. I was in counseling for depression and trying to rebuild my life, and it was tough. I went through one abusive relationship after another, had a miscarriage, and just felt lost. I ended up in a relationship with someone who was physically and mentally abusive and just controlled my world, and I slowly started edging out of this relationship by talking with Ruadhir again. We began texting and talking again and my life opened back up.
I had been planning on leaving this guy when I found out I was pregnant. I was going to be twenty, alone, with a baby and I was fucking absolutely terrified. When I found out, I cried for hours. I don't remember those days very clearly, but I knew I was going to keep her. The hardest part was having to tell him, but all I got in response was love and acceptance. I tried to stay with the guy because I thought I could make it work, but I realized I couldn't. I broke it off at four months pregnant and faced the terrible, cold reality of being a single mother and being utterly alone.
Now, that's terrifying, but every day I was sick, every doctor's visit, he was always there. It wasn't physically, but he talked to me all the time. He took me to comic con when I was six months pregnant and it was the first time I'd ever met him. I was TERRIFIED and screwed up our trip but even at the end he smoothed things over.
Some people wait their whole lives for their soulmates. Some are lucky enough to meet them during their childhood. I think, no matter what, our entire lives were about growing up so we could be together. He's my everything and my only exception, and I will never, ever give up again. He's my one and only. I'm going to marry this boy someday, and I'm so happy he loves my child as well.
3. what are some of their favorite things?
Tabletop RPGs, haha. We do this all the time, and he just loves them. We roleplay all the time too, and talk about our characters. I kind of inducted him into the furry fandom. All of my fursonas I have because of him. He always joins my dorky games, even my dorky dragon game, and plays video games for me <3 when I can't because of my little one.
He tells me a ton of funny stories from his work. He wants to be an EMT to save people, and he's fully supportive of me. His favorite colors are blue and silver. He loves spaghetti!
4. what are some things you love to do when you hang out/ what would you do if you hung out
We play magic the gathering, yugioh, we've gone to a comic con, we chat, we watch movies (HARRY POTTER FTW!), we listen to each other's music, we look at art, we roleplay.. We skype and he gets to watch baby antics. :3 I can't wait to go to more cons and maybe even cosplay. We're also planning on moving in with each other so we can just..be happy, y'know? Finally find happiness with the man who means the most to me.
I really really super much look up to Tato and enjoy her company completely! I'll start from the beginning of why she means so much to me. :) When I first discovered Tato here on FA, I really enjoyed their art and immediately fell in love with their style and content! So I mustard up some courage to ask for an art trade (im super shy, worse back then a year ago) XD And she replied ever so kindly and agreed. :) I drew a character of hers who had lil to no art work of them and it made her feel so happy! :) From there on I tried my best to get to know someone who was so soft and sweet. But thats what started it, and weve been buds for a bit over a year now. :) Well, one time I found out she wasnt feeling so well emotionally and so I would gift her with art all the time (still do ) :) and i cant tell you how awesomely passionate she was, it filled my heart with so much joy that I was able to make someone's day better and full of brightness! :)
Eventually, I became more n more confident to chat regularly with her. I was starting to feel super close to where I got more involved in her personal interests. :) She super enjoys drawing her main characters represented of Nazi Germany. I assure you though its super wonderful and has a deeper honest meaning for these characters, its not inappropriate like some people may accuse. Trust me ive seen the things she draws. :) She likes WWII related things and I became more interested in knowing more and getting more intouch with Germany. :)
Well I always wanted a motherly figure around, even if we havnt meet officially yet, and I urged myself to ask her if she would like to. :) My heart felt so happy I cried when she wanted to. :)
I finally started to make her hand made gifts n friendly poems from my heart, and she even sent me something so special, I seriously treasure it. She made a lil cut out of me and on the back says, Mommy loves you! When I see that she loves me, I feel at peace, I feel comfortable, and I know she means it. I couldn't ask for a better furmom in the whole entire world!!!! :)
But you know one other thing that brought me close to Tato? Her love of God! She has so much faith and holy spirit, and she is super open person! No judgement, just full out deep respect she has! I feel so happy and comfortable around her! And you know.. lately my best kitty friend Zora is going through cancer.. and when I had to stay with her at the vet, it was tough.. i didn't know what to do, so I texted Tato for comfort. And Bless her soul, she prayed for Zora. :) That made me feel like Zora was alot safer! And you know what! Zora has been pullin through so far!!! :) Tato is there for me and Im thete for her, no matter what I wish to be there for her through thick n thin for sure, and I really hope I can do more for her. :)
There was a time I sent her a letter, and she texted me with tears because of how much it made her feel, and I ended up crying as well! I can not express how meaning ful that was to hear her that happy. All I ever want to do is let her be happy. :)
Haha we would play Animal crossing alot together!! It was so fun!!! I miss playin animal crossing with her. XD
Oh! And Tomorrow is her B day!!!! :D hehe
All n all anyone to ever know Tato, is the luckiest person ever! I kid not, She super thoughtful, kind hearted, God loving, Motherly, and the bestest buddy ever! Idk what I would do if I havnt met Tato, she seriously made that much of an impact to me. It may not sound like much, but if you ever talk to her, you'll definitely know what I mean!
I wish to meet Tato in person some day, I really mean it. :) I really would love to meet her at a con. Sadly I have a phobia to planes... i cant travel to the cons she attends. T.T But if I ever do get to, i would take her to icecream, a close park, i would watch a disney movie with her (probably Tarzan cuz she likes that one ) :), I would also like to draw with her to learn under her and do collabs, and would like to just cuddle (cuz i can be cuddly person) And most importantly, i would do whatever she would like to do! Cuz I think its nice to share each others interests and fun together. Like if she wants to go to a specific place to eat, I would go cuz i wish for her to be comfortable and happy! :D
Tato deserves all the love in the world!! She means alot to me and I just hope n pray that her day is going wonderful so much. :)
And Tank YOU ever so much for letting Tato have the chance for your lovely art. :)
2. Honestly I just think Lexi is a really cool and nice person. Years and years ago I think like at least eight years ago she used to read old fanfiction of mine and liked it enough to review/message me a few times and we talked over e-mail and PM now and then and she probably showed more support than almost anyone. Not really ever close friends I guess, but even though we don't really talk now I continue to be emotionally invested in her life and I'm happy when things go well for her and privately hope things get better when they don't. Her art has improved so drastically since I first met her and I feel a sort of secondhand pride :'D
3. She really loves Lolita stuff and she has had some adorable dresses, and she likes pastel stuff and delicious things like ice cream and pizza and cupcakes. I know she used to like Digimon but I don't know so much any more :'D
4. Honestly we haven't properly talked in so long I imagine we don't have much in common any more but I know she does still follow some anime so that'd be something, and she could instruct me on the proper wear of Lolita fashion because I adore the aesthetic but am fashion blind ehe.
Thank you for the opportunity!
2. Omg I could go on forever and at the same time I suck at words and can never figure out how to put all my feelings into such a small statement. Whether I realized it at the time or not, I met Terrie during a time when I really needed someone to lean on. Surprisingly enough we met on a RP site that's long gone now, almost 2 years ago and we've been talking nearly every day since. With how my very first serious relationship went down and fucked me up, I have so many insecurities and worries and fears, and he's managed to prove me wrong on all of them since we met. We've been there for each other through some shit in both our lives and haven't let any of it undo us yet. The long distance thing is hard, certainly, and we have factors against us that make it a bit more difficult to cope with. But we're there for each other, through each other's depressions and hard times and I know we'll continue to be that way. I've never had someone tell me that we would get through all of my troublesome, life-halting anxieties together, and let me tell you, it's the best feeling in the world to hear that. Especially from someone you care so much for. I've literally become so much more confident in myself in everything because of him, and I know I've helped him in the same way. I'm always afraid I'm never going to be able to express how much I love him and how much he means to me, but I hope I can show a least a portion of that to him on a daily basis.
He makes my days better. Just seeing a new message or text from him brightens up my mood. I wouldn't have something to work towards if it weren't for him. I'd have no direction for my life, no ideas of what I wanted to do and no real reason to pursue them. But he's given me something to work towards -- a life just me and him, and our bunches and bunches of dogs. And I can never thank him enough for everything he's ever done.
3. His favorite things in the world are video games. League of Legends is his favorite, along with the Final Fantasy series, GTA, Metal Gear Solid, Okami, and the pokemans. He also likes chocolate milk a lot. And having breakfast together.
4. Playing all the vidja games, especially multiplayer ones that we can play together, or watching whatever movies or shows we feel like. Or he loves to watch me draw. All of this while usually being all cuddled up B) And taking my dog on her walks is really nice too <3
2. Why I love her? Because for the longest time I looked up to her and a few other artists/writers/ other furs. I went through a rough year of multiple surgeries where I was told I wasn't going to make it, no way would I get to see the spring, so on my list of things to get done was to be brave and message a bunch of furs I liked and tell them what I liked about them, their art, writing, music, what ever. Ursa quickly responded and I was so excited to get to read what she wrote. Before I knew it she and I where messaging back and forth a lot. Another struggle came up and I disappeared for a while and she decided to add me on skype to make sure we could keep in touch. We kept talking for a while longer and she pulled out a side of me I long since burried, she helped me be comfortable with myself and my outlook on life. After a bit of talking she came to me with a wonderful question, if I would want to be her baby girl, her little lady. I had tears in my eyes and was so honored to accept. My second Sona, Saiya was made finally given life and my Mommy Ceres became my world, helping build me up in my darkest hours, making me smile and being my emotional support and my reason to smile. I love her so so very much from the bottom of my heart.
3. She loves to write, listen to music and sculpt too!!! She is soooo amazing!!! She is a better author then JK Rowling and she is the coolest and meeeww!!!
4. We talked about me coming to the UK to visit one day, we would cuddle, watch movies, listen to her read an awesome stories, OHH maybe go on an adventure!!!
Thankies for the kind words.
*huggles my little lady lots*
(2) When I met Lone last year, he was having a very hard time, battling depression from loneliness and dealing with anxiety issues. I did what I could to help him get back up again, offering to be his older brother and providing my support when he needs it. He reminds me of myself when I was trying to keep from failing high school. Falling behind makes me very depressed and stressed out, and I needed a lot of help from friends and family to keep myself motivated in time to finish everything before graduation. In Lone, I saw a very similar battle being fought, and because of my experience, along with the skills I learned from college psychology classes, I was able to help him recover. Since then, Lone and I became very close, and Lone looks up to me because I had shown him the way to happiness. I love him very much as my brother, and I know that he will also be there for me someday when I get the blues myself, as I was for him during his darker days. He had written a story featuring both our fursonas, and even requested, from a friend of his, an amazing shaded piece featuring our fursonas in celebration of my birthday last month. I am very happy to have met Lone, even when the process of fixing him up was difficult to begin with. But despite the troubles I had with trying to shake him free of his depression, the outcome was well worth saving him.
(3) Lone likes Kingdom Hearts games and Soul Eaters anime. And he loves wolves as much as I do. I think he also has some interests in certain books as well.
(4) I would love to teach him archery skills and combat techniques for self defense, as well as share story ideas with him and help him improve in literary writing. Lone needs a lot of help with his stories, and I have ways to aid him there, but most will require us being in the same room together. We would also try out different games and learn new things about each other. Then there is our fetishes, (not gonna go into too much detail about that).
2: its not so much of a uhh...."love" thing....but ive been going through a reallyy rough time lately. really rough. honestly, when i clicked on your journal, i was like "ehh another raffle, why not...not like i ever win them anyway..." ;p but when i read it, i was absolutely blown away by how beautiful the premise of this is. nominate a friend, a loved one for some art instead of just something for yourself? its so incredibly sweet that i started thinking to myself "ohh thisll be fun, who should i nominate?" and it didnt take me long to realize....oh wait...i dont have anyone i love on FA, or anyone who loves me. im going to be very honest here....i have been crying my eyes out since i clicked it.....ive never had trouble finding, making, or keeping friends, but during the last year, i dont know what happened, but im shedding friends and loved ones like fur on the couch, and this is a problem ive never faced before and dont know how to handle. in fact, im waiting on some art i commissioned, but once i get it im gonna dip out of the fandom for a while....it really hasnt been kind to me (when i opened this raffle journal thing was when i decided for sure to wrap up my affairs and leave TBH) ...but there is one person who has been there for me. we dont talk much, and i dont even know him all that well, but i took notice of him because he seemed to be absolutely everywhere on furaffinity that i was, commenting on every submission that i was viewing, leaving great comments, awesome critiques, never negative, nothing but awesome things to say. so i said "whats up." to him, and he watched me....and i dont have many people watching me. since then, almost every single journal/submission, he leaves a comment, or just leaves a shout in my box to say hi. now, this sounds soooo pathetic, that im nominating someone who drops shouts in my box, but i will submit some evidence: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6739795/ (<-- hes the only one who responded to this before i quietly burried it after a few days) http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16465666/ . might not seem like much at a glance, but if you know who he is, he leaves a comment on submissions ALL OVER fa, and encourages all kinds of people. even right on his page his personal quote is "no one was born into this world to be alone." i really like the quote because my mission is to go into health care and work in a hospice or a convalescent home to work with old and/or dying people, because MY personal quote has always been "i dont think anybody should die alone." like i said, i dont even know him that well, but i think hes an awesome person. i have a few other people who leave shouts in my box and respond to my journals or submissions once in a while, but im nominating him for the sheer NUMBER of times ive seen him elsewhere on furaffinity encouraging others and just being a righteous dude. :3
3: <-- that looks like a sad kitty face, it makes me sad :| ....umm again i dont even know him well enough, but i know hes on FA alll the time, so i guess looking at furry art is his favorite thing :3 andd watching youtube videos. heh.
4: im really not sure. maybe shoot the shit, talk politics, smoke some pot, i have no idea.
thanks for the consideration, and again, i really like the premise of this.....its nice that you want to hear all this stuff and encourage people to dig deep and devote some of their time and energy tonight to thinking of someone who *isnt* them. <3
1.
2. Well, aside from being my wife...she has helped me through countless hard times (starting from the very day we met). There is too much to list that she has done for me in the 11ish years we have known each other (of which we have been married for 9), but from day one she was offered a complete stranger (we had mutual friends, but still) a place to stay when multiple unforeseen issues had left me with no real options (roommates fell through, Mom's home had hurricane damage, friends houses had varied insects infestations).
3. Video Games (in particular Monster Hunter, Elder Scrolls series, Animal Crossing, Dragon Age series, and Borderlands series), Tabletop Gaming, Gardening, miniature painting, various crafts, coffee, cooking, our cats, reading
4. Mostly we play video games and talk these days, when we can we watch a movie, and we used to play tabletop games too
Nominee #2
1.
2. Despite only recently meeting and befriending her, she is someone that has helped make my days much more than they used to be (stay at home dad atm, so I don't have much going on in my days). She is very kind and considerate, and keeps me grinning and laughing. As most of my friends have become quite distant (I literally live across the country from everyone I knew before meeting my wife), she is the first person I have actually befriended in awhile. I also wanted to nominate her because I would like to give something back to her for all she has done for me and others, but I lack any actual artistic ability (seriously, I struggle with stick figures).
3. video games (pokemon and LoL in particular, by I am hoping she will become addicted to Monster Hunter 4 when she gets it =), art, coffee, pumpkin, virtually anything Swedish
4. Probably have coffee, play video games, and talk....its kind of my thing for hanging out anymore =)
[b]2. He was my first boyfriend and i was his first girlfriend, weve been together for years now :) <3 when we first met me both had ZERO confidence in ourselves, we were shy, timid and damaged by various things in our past. During our relationship we have helped build eachothers confidence immensely and have made eachother feel happy being the person they are. We are still currently experiencing strong bouts of anxiety and depression, but we stick by eachtoher and do everything we can to stay smiling. We accept eachothers interests and inspire eachother to succeed, he was the one that bought me my first tablet and helped sort out all my art programs.
Our relationship isnt just one of those dumb " i love u bby xx you r the one xx *mushy mush* " things :) hes my lover, my hero and my best friend all in one :),
i dont care what happens in my life, where i go, what i do, where i end up. as long as i go through it all with him by my side im happy :)
3. Foxieh is VERY int his computers and programming. he also enjoys haribo eggs, cuddles and novelty t-shirts.
4. we LOVE to simpy make a comfy cushion pit, grab a collection of snacks and drinks and get our laptops and work on what we enjoys doing/game. i will sit and draw, he will sit and code. :) ~~[/b]
She and I just click well. We love the same things (Legend of Zelda, woo!), help each other out in art stuff, and she's one of the rare kind of people who doesn't get offended by the strange kind of jokes I make. We enjoy winding up each other with the oddest stuff, and listen and give advice if either of us feels worried.
I couldn't ask for a better friend.
She likes Legend of Zelda (woo!), metal music, making art, and brushing her teeth in the shower. <.<;
I'm planning on visiting her in a few weeks, and we're going to draw a bit together, play games (I'm gonna Just Dance her into the floor <.< ), cook some, and hug the living shit out of each other. :V
I feel we bring the best out in each other. :>
Flash forward to the end of March, this year. Both of us had some troublesome times behind us and we decided that some cuddles would be the best. Talked a lot, ended up with videochatting, and now we're like "Why are we fitting so well?" We're talking every day now, show each other the drawings we make, game together, and make the stupidest gnu-puns. And others. <.< Also I might or might not have a crush on her.
She loves games, particularly WoW, and told me that she got The Witcher 3 today. (I'm never gonna see her again. ;-; ) Also, she's apparently a fan of odd puns, like I am, and likes showing me things. Also, Digimon. And the Music Meister.
I'm just reading through the chat log for more stuff to find, and I'm laughing so much. X3
Anyway, she became one of my most beloved friends in mere two months, because we just ... compliment each other so well. :D
I've been wanting to meet up with her for a while now, but times have been rough lately, so I'm going to be patient. At least she lives in my country which should make the things much easier. X3 When we meet, we'll cuddle a lot, we will cook together, probably game a bunch, and watch MLP or so. Or really anything. XD
Love you too, dear <3
I'm glad you have someone like her <3 that's really awesome! (go get yourself some of dat if you like it ;) )
Oh, I'll try so much to get some of dat, but shh. <.<
Slowly~
2. They were one of the first furs to talk to me in the chatroom i met the majority of my furry friends in. Lucas has quickly become a close offline friend as well. He is, quite literally, me in guy form. We have so much in common, it's sort've spooky in a way. He knows when something is wrong before I even say anything and I often can tell when something is wrong with him. We both talk to each other when something is bugging us and know that we won't be judged by whatever it is. I honestly don;t know where I'd be without him.
3. Lucas loves video games, lounging around with friends, and cooking. Oh god, how we both love cooking! We actually live within an hour of each other and plan to get together soon for a cooking night!
4. Oops! Like I said above, we plan on getting together soon for a cooking night. We'd also waste way too much time playing video games and reading comic books.
2. He help me so much with my fiction
3. ??
4. watching movies , series , love to go cinema
1) my faience/best-friend, Loakrin (aka Patrick) . We are sharing an account right now (he just got a fursona recently, and doesn't know really what to do on fa)
2) He was actually my best friend for 4 years before we date and i did date others wile he was still my friend. But when i hit my worst and pushed everyone away he stayed and helped me through it. Each and every day he would talk to me for hours when no one else would. After i finally said yes to dating him family life at home got worse. He encouraged me to move out of my house and into my grandmothers home. Where i would go and visit him on the weekends (still) and come back to help her out on the weekdays. But there was one day in particular, we where laying on the couch after watching a movie and i just knew that i couldn't let any of what had happened go. So i asked him to marry me. No ring or anything. And he said yes. Though he asked me like a week latter the same thing (lol) we only told a select few that we are engaged.
3)favorite things = playing sims, playing games on the x-box, making up si-fi stories and games, and puns so many puns.
4)I love it when we play borderlands together, or any other game. I can settle for just watching movies too.
2. She helped me correct my life when I was going through a really rough patch in my life. She got me to stop cutting and drinking. She helped boost my confidence, and helped me stay on a healthy path. She lives far from me, but we used to be in the same state. She is my friend, and helps keep me strong.
She probably doesnt realize how much I care for her, and how much respect I have for her. She is simply amazing.
3. I know she loves to do things with her hands. Crafting of many sorts. She also likes Wolves, well because she is one and has a huge pack mentality. She also enjoys smoking hookah, and likes to watch anime. :) (Oh and getting art done!)
4. I would want to just talk, sometimes a good listening friend is all you need in the world. Maybe I can watch her do some crafting or something like that. :)
33!
I just...idk....he stayed. He stayed in my life and puts up with my bitchy ass. I mean he hurts m feelings sometimes but its not like he knows it really I'm just overly sensitive and possessive....but I still like him he's really nice and just lets me talk about whatever. Which mostly consists of complaining.
He likes fancy car stuff, and video games especially the ones with racing. He really likes the beach, and Olive Garden. He likes snow leopards a lot and cats in general and he likes rings, he's trying to get both hands filled.
I just like being around him.
My mate Haefen
2. Tell me why you love them so much : ) Did they help you through a rough time in your life? if so, what time? how did they help? Do they just make you laugh? Are they inspirational? Why do these people mean so much to you? (you can write as much as you want to here. I will read it all and I will enjoy doing so <3 Feel free to write anywhere from a couple sentences to a paragraph or so <3 c: or more! Seriously feel free to get mushy here. I encourage it! THE MORE HEARTFELT IT IS, THE BETTER.)
Haefen loves me for me. Were meant for one another, theres such a thing as true love - both of us have been thru hell in our lives up to the point of meeting one another here on fa. Now, were on our way to moving in to be with one another and eventually more. I cant see myself living without him, and i love him with all that i am, i would sell everything i own (which isnt much..) just to be with him if thats what it took. And hes said the same thing.
3. what are some of their favorite things? Winter, Christmas, Me xD, sweet tea, old cars and blue bonnets
4. what are some things you love to do when you hang out/ what would you do if you hung out
Weeeeeeeeeeeeell sex >.> thats one thing. but we love just talking.. cuddling and enjoying eachothers company. Nature too, the beach, walk in the park or forest... playing with our puppy.
2.
Val is the first person I've considered a friend, in at least 7 years. I joined FA in 2011, and finally worked up the courage to actually get active, this past february. We ran into each other in streams somewhat often, because I somehow got involved in watching those (thankfully!), and they ended up reaching out to get to know me and get my skype. Since getting to know them, we've talked every single day. I have a handful of great friends, brought together by Val too! They are all spectacular, but Val is important to every one of us.
Since getting to know Val, I feel so much less lonely. I feel more confident and worry less. My anxiety is generally better than it has been in the past. More important than any of that, for me, is that I feel more grounded and confident in myself. I feel like I know who I am, more, now. In terms of personality, body, preferences, and just everything at all.
3.
Friends, icecoffee, salmon, magic, cuddling, rainstorms, nature, gaming
There are things I'm missing, for sure. But these ones are a bit more obvious at least.
4.
We spend a lot of time chatting. We've been playing various games together, tried some story making, and telling stories, venting, and lots of things.
If we met in person, Cuddling and being together would be lovely. We do both tend to try to fall back to what the other one might want to do, though.
2. Well let's see, we were first introduced when she was commissioned to make me a custom of her closed species (which I had been fan-girling over for a while) so at first it was just a commissioner/artist kind of relationship. Since she was working on a character for me we exchanged skypes and because she was hands down the most understanding, patient and kind artist I had dealt with we started talking more. I can admit I can be a pain to work with when it comes to commissions, I'm super detailed and put a lot of time and effort into my characters so having somebody bring them to life for the first time can be a rather......Time consuming event and not once did she complain. If anything we just joked about it. Since that commission we started talking a little more each day and finally we just somehow found ourselves being close friends. To this day she still puts up with my crazy commissions and (almost) never judges when I'm scheming up a new character I simply must have her draw for me (even if she swears she's going to charge me extra for how much of a pain I can be.)
She's also been there for me through a few stressful times in my life when I've lost other close mutual friends and never once did she pick sides or get judgmental. She was just everything a friend should be: caring, supportive, a shoulder to cry on and a giver of fantastic advice. She always goes the extra mile for those close to her and she inspires me to get back into drawing myself and even one day maybe consider children since she is such a fantastic and loving mother to her exceptionally adorable and well behaved daughter. I'm horrible with times and dates, but even though I haven't known her for a SUPER long time like most of my other close friends, I can honestly say I can't imagine my life without her in it.
3. Her daughter, friends, lady loki, the color green, food ^.^, drawing/improving her skills and me (I hope XD)
4. Everything under the sun. If we're in a skype call we're usually talking about something ridiculous or possibly traumatizing the people that come to watch her stream. Or we're helping each other come up with characters we don't actually need. If I could actually go visit her....Lord have mercy. Who knows what kind of trouble we could get ourselves into X3
Even though we live on opposite sides of the U.S. and the two of us haven't exactly chatted with each other physically, I feel like we can mutually give each other comfort whenever either of us needs it. His plights and struggles are things that I can connect and sympathize with, and we both can act like ourselves around each other, unlike other times where I act like a character of mine. Actually, that was around the time where I was posing as a female like my Michelle character, but I wanted to get a bit closer to him, so I told the truth about myself and we've been really good friends ever since. I even gave him my own personal nickname~
He likes waffles quite a bit, and he's probably one of the most snuggable guys I've ever met. He's quite dominant in bed as well~
If we ever met in real life, we'd probably goof off playing video games or watching movies, eat out somewhere, maybe a bit of snuggling. He needs someone close in his life, and I would do my best to be that person who's always there for him.
2. I owe so much to them, I don't even know where to start... It may have only been a few years, but I can safely say that I feel like I've known them my whole life. Sweet, funny, understanding, and full of bravery, I don't think I've ever met somebody so inspiring and full of passion. They've helped me through some of the toughest times in my life and they've always been there for me. I don't think I can ever make it up to them, but holy crud they just don't stop being themselves. He puts more care into his friends than he does himself..all he cares about is making sure that the people he loves is dandy, even if he's in a bad state. I seriously cannot stress enough how thoughtful they are, I'd just be here typing the same sentence in different words for paragraphs.. uwu<333
It's practically impossible to be sad in their presence, they've just got such a happy go lucky vibe, and I seriously can't think of one time I've ever seen them do the opposite and drag anybody down. He's so open to anything and would never judge, I know it. They say no one is perfect, but if there's people that are somewhat close to it, I'd definitely see him in it. Such a pure friend that makes me smile and blush just thinking about them right now...Every chat I have with them is precious and I wouldn't trade spending time with them for any other thing in the world, as cliche as that last bit sounds. They're always just a button away..and I do plan to eventually visit them in their state at some point. Some people say you can't feel a strong bond for somebody you don't physically interact with, but I beg to differ. Friendship isn't something you apply on each other's skin, it's a feeling..and I love my friend very much. He means so much to me. I honestly want to just keep going on and on about them, because I totally could do that. ://>
3. Favorite things, wow there's a lot!! Hanging out with friends, Jojos Bizarre Adventures, amphibians, his pets!!, french fries, his little sister, big fan of video game music, and definitely browsing tumblr! That's just a few to name!
4. Well in the physical sense we've never hung out, but online wise..even just chatting is a fun, and secure past time. You can talk about anything with them. They always have such interesting things to say, and you feel confident in continuing a conversation!! Definitely compare experiences in video games and how we view fictional characters..we do that a lot, and wow it's fun!!! If/When we do hang out, I know what we would HAVE to do!!! Definitely go out and about, eat some awesome mexican food, play games on their N64, I dunno..there's a lot more to do in California where he's at then there is over here in North Dakota!! :v<3
1. Someone I love on FA:
2. Why I love him: I'm not going to go too far into detail here, for privacy's sake, but ever since I met him in 2012, he's been there for me through thick and thin. I suffer from both depression and anxiety, so I know I'm not always the easiest to deal with, but I always know that he has my back.
3. Some of his favorite things: Geeking out over WWII, Ouran High School Host Club, Wolves, Bunnies, gaming,
4. Hanging out: Watching Youtube videos together, roleplaying (current campaign - Werewolf: the Apocalypse)
