raaveh skattered-sunshine you guys need to know that you are awesome and I love you a lot and when I see you on my dash/activity feed it makes me happy
Alright, if you don't like emotional crap i'd advise you to either step away from this post or get a box of tissues or something. probably just for me, though. Because this whole post is dedicated to my best friend Cait aka Skattered-Sunshine.
And I was right.
We cosplayed and ran around Chicago together and through parks being loud and amazing. We laughed our ways through animes with really bad arcs and spent an entire summer at either one of our houses and basically never left each other. That was the summer of slushies and walmart and let me tell you folks, that's still the best summer I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing.
And then she introduced me to her universe she made and we started roleplaying. And without those characters, I don't know who I would be at all. They're my everything and Cait gifted me that. She showed me something so wonderful I never heard of and listen to me when I say I could never be more grateful.
And even though hard times come and go and we fought and were dumbasses for fighting in the first place, we always woke up the next morning with "so it's cool if i come over right? because i'm here."
But let me tell you the best part about Cait...
My grandfather, the man who adopted me, died a month, three weeks, and three days ago. I have been to a great number of funerals in my life and witnessed too much death for a 23 year old, but this one made me crumble into a ball in my school's bathroom and go MIA for an hour. I didn't eat. I didn't sleep. I woke up from nightmares. And through the whole wake and funeral and me crying silently because my family cried enough for everyone, she was there. We both know what it's like to lose people who are that close and.... i don't know how mentally stable I would be right now if she wasn't there.
And now, our friendship has dissolved into shrimp jokes and even more roleplay and characters and book sharing and cat pictures and snapchats of the most disgusting faces we could possibly fucking make. Like, you guys, she is seriously my conscious. She's my best friend and I love her to fucking death and i'd kill for her. I'd give her a kidney if she needed it (the good one, not the one that made the stone). I'd watch The Amazing Spiderman 2 with her and cry any day!!!!
Cait, Ms. Thundergod, is my bestest friend ever and I don't want anyone to fucking doubt that.
