Why Toast?
10 years ago
to my followers and friends.
Watched a video from Markiplier where he showed his reaction to his fans. It made me remember what I set out to do with my character Toast. Kinda killed me actually, hence why I am writing this post.
Long ago, when 2 sense was running, I decided to create a rabbit that was indignant to his accepted place. A meek, defensless kicking post to society who raised his middle finger and said "THIS WILL NOT BE ME!" many of us have felt like this in our lives and I want to personify this in a way that appealed to both the people who felt stuck or forgotten, and those who perpetuated the stereotype. I needed those people and you have always played it well.
I had a fan write me an email that just destroyed me. They said (paraphrased) "thank you. Your character shows me that even if life says I should be something, it doesnt mean I should be. It helped me through school. I realized that while teachers and students kicked me around, this is not who I was and I deserved more. it was what they were." I cried for over an hour.
I want to thank everyone. You've made my time in the fandom wonderful. I look forward to many more years of entertainment. Also, deer suck.

A touching journal nonetheless =)
