I haven't spoken to them in years, nobody has on here. I don't know where they went, or why. But sometimes I imagine having conversations in parallel, far closer than two distant planets, but farther. Something they don't tell you about growing up on a site like this is the grief you feel when other people you thought you'd see adulthood with just stopped responding, and you don't know why. Maybe they got banned, or blocked, or grounded. Maybe they just got tired of the internet. But that love persists. If I ever get famous enough to spread around a viral video or something, anything, to track you down, I will. I'll do it in a heartbeat. You were there when I was 14. You were such a big part of why I made it to 20. Online friendships aren't forever, you know. Or, you don't have that promise. Neither do in-person friendships, but those are different, you usually know why they end. So if you're reading this, let your friends know they matter. That they've made a real impact even without being physically tangible. They deserve to hear it. You're free to theorize, speculate, and remix, as long as you're being transformative (not just remixing with no changes.) I love the interaction, have fun with it! I love making it canon that they have blankets and beds and stuff as a society but that the main eight were just raised without it and therefore have no concept of it but just accept it as a weird thing they do. Popper just giving up his only child in the hopes it'd hatch healthy and happy on a planet where he can't take care of them is a huge gamble, especially after losing his wife. This is all he has left of her, and he just has to give that all up. I feel so bad for him. Fun fact!! Star-L's not super relevant to the overall storyline, but she is when it comes to not shipping characters! I already gave Ruster a girlfriend to avoid this, but Ruster and Spotter are cousins on their maternal side! Because of all the stuff with B and Spotter's mother, this won't be brought up for a long long time, and the two of them don't know about this, but they've never liked each other because Spotter is an ace queen and Ruster only has eyes for Crusher. Just some interesting lore.
