No I’m not leaving and it’s not secretly new years. It’s just my birthday on the 19th and I wanted to thank ya’ll so much for such a wonderful year of my life. All you guys, my wonderful Scratch friends, you are so kind and encouraging and funny. You make me laugh, you make me gasp in awe of your beautiful art. Thank you. A special thanks to Mattanator. You’re the reason I’m here. You dragged me to the computer and forced me at sword point to make an account. On top of not stabbing me you’ve also held my hand on this wonderful journey. You’ve encouraged me to be creative through all our art shenanigans and you’ve been a true friend. Thank you. A special thanks to Star. You adopted me like… right away, which was an odd welcome for sure. You then proceeded to metaphorically drop kick me in art fight, which then encouraged me to convince everyone you were a toaster when the opportunity struck. You’ve been very kind and made me cry when you added my baby Ickygreen, (still confuses why my arch nemesis / adopted sister would do that). Life is full of mysteries and you might be the strangest you weirdo (Thanks again). A special thanks to Moonf1ower. My first proper interaction with you was in art fight when Mat apparently just said: “go hit him.” Then you proceeded to walk right up to me and punch me in the ribs with your gorgeous art (thanks for that). You’ve since been nothing but kind and hilarious. I look forward to kicking you when art fight starts again in July. A special thanks to Cereal_Projects. Wile I haven’t talked to you that much all of your comics have made me laugh so hard and you’ve always been so kind whenever I show my art. Thank you. A special thanks to Mountainhope. To be honest I have no idea where I first saw you. You just kinda showed up and have just been a constant light shining about with your comments. Thank you. A special thanks to the Ickygreen Users. You two just showed up one day and it has made me so happy that you enjoyed my silly theory so much that you just became it and helped share the meme. I know one of you is gone now, but if you ever return and somehow see this, then I just want to say: thank you. Just thank you. Your silliness has ment a lot to me. And that goes for you other Icky too. Thank you. And thanks to Dark_claw and Nerdies. I don’t know either of you that well, but you guys seem pretty awesome and I hope to get to know you better through this next year. And finally thank you God. Thank you for giving your life for me when I was dead in my sin. Thank you for seeing every bit of me and still loving me anyway. And thank you for always being in control no matter how bad things can seem. Romans 8:28 “ And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (As a special treat, inside the project is a cake me and Mat made)
