To Eddie and Kekoa.

You've made it to the end!
I've sadly already emptied the compartments of my pantaloons, for the purposes of providing you with this (hopefully) entertaing journey (it better have been!).
There's no pot of gold at the end of this rainbow, nary a coin in the chest at the end of the dungeon; but there is this text,
in which you — my captive audience (courtesy of the sunk-cost fallacy) — get to listen to me ramble on about whatever I desire.
I will be using this opportunity to be nice :3

Thank you Eddie,
For being the one to come up with sending letters in the first place,
For your enthusiasm to make custom maps in SpiderHeck inspiring me to make my own,
For sharing an appreciation for designing puzzles (I will never let the coordinate thing go I am taking that to the grave),
For actually succeeding at making a both playable and fun trading crystal game — saying nothing of actually keeping it alive for so long,
For the time and effort you put into the Grynne storyline,
For being someone with good opinions on Rain World,
For being a reliable dichotomy between witty humour and brain-rotting sausage jokes that make no cents,
For your odd lack of autism,
For hearing out my opinions, especially when I am being unreasonable,
For being someone I can always rely on having *an* opinion,
For being someone genuinely determined to do stuff.

Thank you Kekoa,
For the countless hours spent in voice chat alone together during the weeks leading up to and after my finals,
For being someone to share the plight of ping with,
For being one of the few people that make VCing with Mytho tolerable, and actually getting us to play GTFO (for like, four missions before it fizzled out),
For vehemently denying your queerness, which I myself am not even conclusive on,
For letting me over-share an undogly amount to you, in exchange for what really wasn't that valuable a piece of information (I have to live with the fact that someone knows I'm into goo transformation, brainwashing and null bulges now) (Sorry Eddie, forgot you were still here, I really didn't have to make you read all that),
For the terrifying percentage of our direct messages that are just straight up (though seldom straight) porn,
For being a peer my age that I can actually talk about stuff with that I didn't have the opportunity to with anyone else,
For being a great listener and an idea machine,
For being, just, deranged sometimes,
For being one of the few people to actually try getting my pronouns correct,
For always being the person to jump on my bandwagon and willing to get our ideas as far as possible,
For being someone I can always count on supporting me.

And thanks to both of you,
For being the perfect duo to play magic with, even if we never got to finish budget hell (I still love my 100 card Urbie deck),
For your varying skill levels in Your Only Move Is HUSTLE,
For getting me to play Outer Wilds even if I never really got it,
For engaging with me on my level,
For the incredible ways our senses of humour layer on top of each other to make some of the funniest bits I've ever heard,
For being people I consistently get inspired by,
For being the reason I would join a voice chat for,
And for reading this entire text.
