A young child with white hair and a freckled face tugs on Cletus' pant leg. "Hey mister," she says. "Why are you dressed like that?"
“What?” He looks down in surprise. “Why am I dressed like that? Well, it’s the height of fashion of course. Not that a child like you would know. What were your parents thinking when they put you in that outfit? Imitating Deponian style, I bet.”
He tries to free his pant leg and when that fails makes a little shoo gesture. “Let go, will you? Your hands are probably all sticky and will ruin the fabric. Why are you even here, all alone, bothering grown-ups?”
To my darlings @trashpanda-rp and @lettersfromthepit
Ok, technically, Letters would be tomorrow, but I am celebrating today dang it.
In honor of our friendship, here’s your gift! I hope that one day we can all three take a real picture together. <3
NOW ONTO THE GUSHING!
Two years ago, on December 1st, 2015, I posted a joke on my original Sans side-blog. No one had interacted with me yet, though I was about a week into the fandom. I didn’t know ANYTHING about tumblr RP, or the ever-intricate etiquette that went along with it. With no interactions, I almost gave up trying.
Then I got my first ever RP response from @hope-and-dreams (also known as Trashpanda), which can still be seen here.
I remember being so impressed with his art and fell in love with the adorable kiddo known as Hope. He was always so nice to me and ABSOLUTELY patient with replies. And the stuff I got in return! QUALITY! I felt so happy and fortunate; I finally had an RP partner, and they were good, too!
The more we talked, the more we became friends. He told me about his personal life, I told him about mine. He listened when I needed a vent, I sent him and his family mugs for Christmas. It’s hard to believe its been 2 years, and at the same time, it feels like I’ve known him far longer.
And then, two years ago in December, 2nd, 2015, I got my SECOND RP RESPONSE! This time from a beautifully written OC named Kailee by my darling Letters, which can be found here.
I remember looking at her fancy theme and thinking, “Oh, yikes. Is she sure she wants to RP with me? She looks really experienced...I’m just a n00b??”
I read through her character stats and thought Kailee was an interesting character, but then when I actually saw her in action, I fell in love again. Something about her felt so raw and just damn special, and I soon became inspired and invested in the story of her and Sans in a way that I hadn’t been in a very long time.
We began to talk through the Tumblr tags. She would make comments about my reply that would have me giddy for hours, and then, eventually, we started talking through IMs, too. We began plotting out a story that spiraled into what we now call our 3 “books”. I’d stay up until 3 am with her as I developed Sans beyond his game counterpart and discussed the details of our story together.
Then we started talking about our personal lives. I shared with her my doubts and my grief when I lost my dog, Willy, to cancer. She shared frustrations of life offline and details of her (at the time) upcoming wedding. We Skyped. Then one day, we got to meet face to face, and hugged like it was the only chance we’d ever get.
I started my original Sans blog just to RP a little.
I never intended to use it to make friends.
I never intended to love them like family.
I never intended to open my heart so completely to them.
Spill It || Muse must tell the truth meme || Accepting
In all honestly, Sans knew that was implied by the question, but it was still vague enough that a loophole was basically just begging to be used; sort of like Erorael.
“i want ya to stop ruinin’ m’lamps? yeah. yeah, i do. man, you know how hard it is to find those blue lighting ones underground? at least stick to the normal ones, y’freak.”
I follow you because you're one of my best friends, I love everything you create and you're a constant inspiration to me. I love seeing your work on my dash and look forward to your posts. I follow you because your content never fails to cheer me up or entertain me. Basically I follow 'cause you're great and you deserve all the follows my dear <3
Finish this sentence! “I follow you because…”
You know, funny as it might sound to some people since we’ve never physically been in the same room together, you really are literally one of my best friends and I find that amazing.
Also look man, you’re already going to have me in tears on the 19th, like how dare you, I only have so much water in my tiny body sir.
I love you. And thank you. You’re a huge inspiration to me too, both as a writer and an artist, and honestly whenever this lil’ blog comes to the end of its story, the best thing that’ll have come out of it are the fantastic friends I met through it, like you ya walnut <3
[ ♛ ] send me a url and i’ll tell you the following;
@trashpanda-rp
my opinion on;
character in general: Kadan has quite a few muses but I’m gonna focus on Joel and his bab Hope (even though she’s not on this blog, fucking fight me.) OKAY. SO. WE HAVE JOEL. Kadan writes him honestly. He doesn’t sugarcoat that Joel is a fucking piece of trash alcoholic whose life is a goddamn fucking mess. He doesn’t fucking sit around and try to romanticize the bullshit that is withdrawl and addiction. Joel is...Joel. When he’s sober, when he’s himself, he is an absolute DELIGHT to me. He’s a fucking overprotective ginger who makes dad jokes and has a shit ton of tattoos. I adore him with no end. He truly is a character that I love. Angry ginger dad is my favorite. He’s introverted, but never without compassion and a laugh (unless he’s miserable and trapped in a mute girl’s apartment...) and just generally feels real to me. I love him.
AND THEN THERE’S HOPE: MY SWEET DARLING SUMMER CHILD WHO NEEDS ALL THE LOVE IN ALL THE WORLD OKAY? OKAY. the mun: KADAN. I FUCKING LOVE KADAN HE IS THE SHIT. He’s like that goddamn uncle I’ve always needed (and a terrible influence) and also has dadded me a few times (I never mind, I need it sometimes) and HE’S JUST OH MY GOD. HIS MARRIAGE IS MARRIAGE GOALS AND HIS KID IS THE ONLY KID I DON’T HATE (I really don’t like kids) AND HIS HUSBAND IS RAD AND HE’S JUST A RAD PERSON AND MY FAVORITE SINCLE AND HE SPOILS ME ROTTEN AND I CAN’T DEAL WITH IT
do i;
follow them: UH YES HELLOrp with them: HELL YEAHwant to rp with them: nOOO NEVER WHY WOULD I WANNA DO THATship their character with mine: With Joel? Absolutely. With Erorael? SOMEONE JUST THROW HIM BACK IN THE TRASH BIN WHERE HE BELONGS
what is my;
overall opinion: I’m so blessed to have Kadan in my life, and I’m so happy that he decided to stick with writing. It’s all @mrfunnybone‘s fault and I don’t mind that at all. I really am so happy we met and even when we’re not RPing, I’m just so happy to have him around. He’s really a good friend, and looks out for me even though there is no need for him to deal with my bullshit on the daily. LOVE YOU KADAN
**Note: Mun’s answer are all to be completely honest. Don’t send url if you don’t want brutal honesty.
