I haven’t been here for a long time, but you’re the only ones who will understand, probably.
To give some context, @christinaplaysneopets and I met via Neopets Tumblr community because she was looking to trade a 4L pet that was close-ish to the name of one of my dogs. We shortly found out that she was then in college in the state I live in. The shortest possible retelling of the story is that we became friends by impossible and random universe, became best friends, moved in together, moved (physically) apart because of various unexpected things, and then became the couple we are now. I love her very much and my Neopets experience is entirely colored by her presence/existence in my life.
Today is my birthday and Christina is visiting me. About two and a half weeks ago, my dad and I had to put our other, older dog down because he was sick. Christina’s visit is the first time since then that I’ve felt like a person and not just a half-person clouded by grief.
I don’t go on Neopets all that often anymore, but I was holding a pet for her on one of my sides, and she insisted that she take her pet back, which of course was very suspicious. When I mistrustfully went to send her pet back, there was a transfer. Christina got me Yukon, my other dog. I had a misspelling, but she got me the actual name. I don’t even care that he’s currently on my first account and the username is embarrassing, nor do I know just how to express exactly what it means to me.
idk how to wrap this up eloquently, just that I love Christina so much and this has been a terrible and difficult time for me lately, and having my baby with me in another way means a lot.
