If you think I was done with the sap for 2017 and would just wait until 2018 for more emotions, You Are Wrong. In fact, there are two people I need to still yell my emotions at, so I am going to do this, right here, right now. Hey Jay and Kyo... This is both a holiday gift and an anniversary gift (they're going to double because of course we had to have our anniversary right in the holidays, tsk tsk).
As I type this, it has been two years since we made Tiny Gang, well, Tiny Gang, and it has been three years since I befriended each of you individually. If you are reading this and you're not Jay or Kyo, and you plan to keep reading this, then I apologize for how cheesy I get. Here we gO

 draqiin,
I remember seeing you from afar in 2014, thinking you seemed cool but thinking you were inapproachable and too cool for me. I loved your art, but didn't know how to talk to you. That's when we were put together in a group chat, and found out we did in fact get along well. You quickly became someone I could rely on, someone to joke around with, someone I bonded with and it felt like we were a team. I was so glad we didn't stop talking even after the group chat fell apart. We talked a bit less for a while, but in the fall of 2015, you became a best friend to me. I had a great time talking to you, I enjoyed listening to you talk about life stuff, and I was honoured you trusted me. I still think you're one of the best people I know. You have always been reliable to me, and when I was at my lowest point, the first thing you did when I messaged you was call me up and be there for me. You're helpful and lovable, and I'm glad you exist. I had a dream I met you in person the other night and I was so sad it was only a dream. Even if we might have a pumpkin goo and old fish war when we see each other.

 Kyotics,
It's funny how we were casual acquintances for a while, then mutuals, and that seemed to be it until the fall of 2014 when you started noting me and we would start long conversations in notes or comments. Little did you know that at the time I had just started a new course at a new university, and I knew no one at uni. It got lonely being there, but during lunch break I would go over to the computer room and chat with you for a solid hour. It made things more bearable, and it didn't take long for me to feel close to you. You're hilarious, but also a great listener and a solid friend. I'm glad I was able to be your friend from then on, and the occasional wingman, and the shoulder to cry on during some heartbreak moments. You never seem to judge, and I know I can complain about whatever to you and you won't mind. Meeting you in person was one of the absolute highlights of 2017, and it's one of my favourite memories now. I had the best time, even if it meant buying you, like, 27 milkshakes. Damn Kyo.

To both of you,
I love you both so much, and I had no idea I could love a person (let alone two of them) like this and have something this stable and reliable in my life. All my life, I've struggled with friendships and, well, being enough for people. You made me feel like I can be enough for someone just the way I am now, and I am so happy about that. I will always think fondly of late 2015/early 2016 because it meant the beginning of us three together as a trio, and that was one of the happiest moments of my life. I remember crying at New Year's that time wishing you were around, I remember last year when I was at my lowest and you two were there, as always, and it meant a reason to keep trying. You are the platonic loves of my life, and no matter what happens to us in the future, you will always have a piece of me. You are my rock, my compass, and a huge part of my life. Thank you for existing and for being my partners in crime/time. Happy two years of Tiny Gang. <3

Sap over. On another note, I had fun with this drawing, the background was based on this view. I thought the colours were really nice!
I hope you like this! Finally a drawing where most of Oliver is actually visible hah, and his pals are tiny as always. I'll probably make the 2017 art summary soon now.
