Sorry if anyone gets double-pinged ahahah
Can you believe that I waited for this day to use this thread?
When I was typing this all initially, my internet connection is was being the hugest butt, but I wanted to ping you guys at least, to say THANK YOU for making this day so much brighter for me :'D Subeta was what made me even feel that i had a birthday (no joke, i forgot about my birthday last year ahahha,) and you guys just made me feel so huahua and happy that i can explode! ;__;
I'll warn you all that right now i am not very eloquent and i may be repeating because i was stressed and still have stuff i'm doing right now but IF ONLY YOU CAN SEE THE SMILE ON MY FACE RIGHT NOW omg
- thank you guys i didn't even know you were all SERIOUS i mean my baby is a little monster and i didn't expect someone to say yes even, and even knowing it is , whose portraits and cw work (actually art in general) i really adore that you got to make this ;__; i want to hug you all and just roll you all around in a rainbow aaaagh
because so many feels! it's not even just because of the art but because you guys have been so patient with me, even if i've been such a butt who barely ever even gets the time to check subeta often lately! at which i have to thank you too, ;_; i hope things are looking up much better for you in life now and that you've settled :>
thank you as well for the gift and message, ! your gift wasn't sent as anon actually ahaha but at least i remembered easily
usually i am not the kind to do gift brags if the sender is not anon; i often thank people in private but i hope a chit-chat board might be not-as-visible as a board on gift bragging bahahaha ;w; but lately i couldn't even access my smails and even gtalk so i'll do it as a one time, big time thing!
i was a bit frustrated because some of the first messages looked like this:

then like this:
(p.s. cutest biscuits ever omg i totally have to draw myself eating those in a corner!
^ those are the cookies i'm talking about, btw!
i mean it's thanksgiving apparently in the us (in my birthday. again!) so right now i am a bit in the corner,

i understand, since most of them are going to be celebrating thanksgiving with their family today ' v '
and then one o f the messages also looked like this:

huge spoiler of gifts but SORRY omg yours is not here yet because LONG
FINE, NO TURKEYS.
But turkeys are birds. And I hear someone is getting into kicking some serious ass in the battledome, SO HOW ABOUT ANGRY BIRDS</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>ANGRY BIRDS CAKE YESS</p>
<p>Shinwas Health Potion from Blanche!
</p>
</p>
</p>
</p>
</p>
</p>and then there's yOU GUYS COMMISSIONED HER TO DO SOMETHING FOR ME I love Elestrial's art and skfhskhkshdjshdkjshkh I've also tried to get someone to draw Mayu/Aruhito for me, but for various reasons, nobody wants to take on it akdhsk I know that she is a bit hard to draw/make; not many people are okay with the subject matter of someone so... disfigured. I've even had someone puke in front of me when they read the background story and I felt bad, a bit like "is this baby of mine too much?"
and it's okay, CAPS LOCK MESSAGE for EMPHASIS is awesome too! o/ seriously guys i am happycrying i got a nice poem to wake up to this morning, and then skfhskdh you guys right now there is not much more i can ask for subeta wise, in fact i am surprised that you gave me this much skfhsdkfhdkjhfdjfh
thaNK YOU GUYS I AM HAVING A GREAT BIRTHDAY but if i type soemthing out of line here I'm SORRY they should probably have a sobriety test for subeta! I'm not planning to get drunk on purpose but you never know with the time i ACCIDENTALLY a bottle of spirits pffthahaha i thought it was water okay it was right next to my water :<
I've added everything else that follows in my next post! Along with my replies, that is.

Hope you like the painting (: Happy birthday!
shh i'll never forget you princedahmernikolaibito even if I DO just come on once in a millenia. ;_; You may not know it, but that puzzle actually inspired me to actually pursue getting my stories into writing -- and even what, has it really been 2 years since, but I still find myself craving similar puzzles. I never did this thing before that ffinfluence! And aw, look at those tattoos :> Seeing you use them in your HAs makes me really happy you don't even know!
Silly, /paps you uwu You're the sweet one omg ❤️ thank you so much again eeee Q u Q;; please have a good day and keep smiling okay
I'M PHYSYCHIC NOW 8D But thank you so much! I did get the gift, though I placed it along in the spoiler below! :'D I was using a public computer when I got your message though, so I am not sure if there was one picture I missed!
BAW I thought we were "not online much anymore" buddies, but we seem to be "not online much anymore, and unable to chat when online" buddies huehue
Good luck with your work and stuff still; I'm not sure if you're done with masters already?! It's been ages ;_;

Cosmic Scimitar
HAPPY BIIIIIIIRTHDAAAAAAAAAY ^v^
your picture nvn
https://www.dropbox.com/s/x7i69r1kwxpq2yd/transparent.png
another spoiler with the picture hue hue hue

picture in looking uvu
Cosmic Scimitar from Lyriel! I'm screaming because WOMAN THIS seriously you guys why did you get the stuff from my "Saving for" wishlist akhdkshdkshdkss;;; I'm not complaining but OTL thank you to all of you but now I have no idea what to save up for in terms of long-term questing? Maybe more MKBs /terribly laughs
;w; I think I like this transparent version of the image best of all the variations I got so far, but the others are also very nice!
waaa i miss you and your cuteness okay ;w; can I pinch you, please? ; - ;
I know what you mean! I have some characters who are 'not as tame' in appearance, but let's not go into that! It would have been interesting to see her with more scars in her face, though sometimes I'm just "poor baby, you've already been through too much, with not even being able to open your mouth at all". :<
I changed my OP to show the original cookie image you sent me; those were so cute that I HAD to steal the picture and MAKE IT MY WALLPAPER because those cookies are so cute and aaah so colourful! (But the colors kind of make me not want to eat those! :o
Lmao, I love the "bird-day" card, though! :'D You and your references to bird puns and bleeding hearts. I'm surprised that some of my interests can change, but my love for bleeding heart birds seems to be 5EVER! * - *
Seriously though, BEST HA I've seen using the shawl and skirt set okay I have to really think of recolour ideas for that set! D8 I don't really have extra CSC to push anything but ONE DAY, I SWEAR... 8D
/squawk
wweh wweh
okay maybe i am 18 is the age of majority here, so now I can vote, have a non-student driver's license, get a job without special labor papers for minors, get booze legally (hahaha not like i'll do this all the time okay i'm more of a social drinker than I'LL DRINK BECAUSE FUNSIES), vote people for public office (meh!), apply for social security, only have to wait for 3 more years before taking licensure exams, et cetera.
I was SO excited to be 18 maybe until around A FEW MONTHS AGO, but the closer I was to my birthday, I sort of didn't want to hit that date because I'd feel OOOOOLD. ; - ;
Or at least, I'm now "university age", no matter what you do. NO MORE BRAGGING RIGHTS FOR ME when it comes to that wweh
Oh you have no idea. ;_; I was screaming when I saw the gifts and I ACTUALLY cried when I saw the first variations of the painting, because I didn't expect it, and YOU DID such an amazing job with painting her ;w;
I'm sorry if the lack of features was difficult, or if it was an odd subject matter. :< I really like that you did not make her look unreasonably adorable for her description/general appearance, but also showed the anatomy correctly. I found that some cases of syngathia don't result in the jaws being overly compacted; sometimes they look like normal jaws, albeit "glued" to each other, so the mouth does not open! :'D
The scarred lips is a nice touch as well, compared to the "completely obscured lips" I had in mind. After thinking about it for a while, the lips completely disappearing doesn't make too much sense, even after sustained third-degree burns. ;w;
I hope you don't mind that I showed the image to my partner, and:
He was quite shocked to see someone be able to pull it off so well!
This is a belated reply because I was in a hurry when I opened Blanche's gifts (the connection was also slow, so that mangled up your message quite a bit. ;_; )
Gift text in a spoiler, because it's HUGE

Goblet Of Youth

HAPPPPPPPY BIRTHDAY, hopefully you've had a great birthday up till now, annnnd I'm really sorry for the sucky goblet gift DX buuut in my defense...your wl is lacking xP I think you should add to it before christmas lol
Hopefully this'll make up for it though,
[spoiler]
I hope you like her, Lyriel, Blanche and I commissioned Phasma to get your OC, Aruhito, done...sadly we couldn't get a fullbody of her done in time, sooooo we had to stick with a headshot P: we tried sticking with what your character looked like in your screenshots, all I can say is she's one creepy thing xD BUT let me know when you get on skype and I'll send you the tif file to you C:
Goblet Of Youth from CLAMP![/spoiler]DUDE You're kidding me, that goblet isn't cheap! O_O Heck I was even worried my wishlist might be too expensive, but I'll be adding a couple of less expensive stuff in there for my other pet treasures and stuff, when I am able to!
I'll try to take this one at a time, especially because WAIT it's not that long but the picture made it SEEM like a huge message bahahaha
That is one of the CUTEST birthday GIFs I've seen, and baw, you're still the sweet xP Seriously, bro, I have NO idea how many times I've argued with you over the pettiest of things, probably ruined your mood a lot, and maybe greeted you in less than endearing ways ahem but thank you for still being really patient with me, and for being a good friend. ;_; On the contrary I'm not quite sure I've done anything of equal worth or value ahahaha...
Today was mostly great, although my actual celebration will be on the 30th because that's a saturday but today's activities somehow took me away from celebrating it HARD today, since it has been hectic, and stressful at one point -- though I'm over that and enjoying the last few minutes of the 28th here (it might be around 12 midnight my time when I finish typing all these ahahaha)
And I REALLY want to thank you, Blanche, and Lyriel a MILLION TIMES over and over because i really really guys i'm ttouched, really ;_; that even if i've been very neglectful not just of subeta, but of you guys as of late, you still remember me
I hope to have more free time in the nearish future, or at least an internet connection fast enough for me to actually be able to stop by and say hi sometimes ;__; My load next semester will hopefully be lighter than this one, since I'm beyond regular load right now LOL
Skype and Google Talk really have been inaccessible to me as of late, but I'll poke you as soon as I can go online, okay ;_; and again, super thank you for everything
I'M HAPPY YOU didn't send me stuff with fake chatspeak again ahahahah
OKAY, Mister, I'm sure that was NOT a LITTLE GIFT AKHdskhdaojdhdjd

</p>sorry if i'll be creepy but i also wanted to tell you that your has are really inspiring (I wish I can rock male HAs as well as you do,) and you seem really thoughtful and nice from what i see around :'D I promise I'm not stalking or anything but I come across some threads and people like you are what still give me hope in Subeta's userbase, even if there are some cringeworthy events that occur sometimes!
this is something I really did not expect and oh gosh I didn't think the smile I had on my face couldn't get any wider. :') I might get an overdose on happy tonight, now ;_;
so i want so say SUPER thank you for this, i will do my best to use it well! Right now, I'm still getting the hang of serious battling since my old technique was "use the weapon you have in the current tier that deals the most damage", and I'm only getting the hang of specific affinities/freezing/stealing/etc now ahaha /battle newb
I won't be bothering you with too many questions about it but I'm just really excited, this will give me the extra push to keep training to be able to use the bombs properly :'D thank you very much again!
-- and now I think I have to turn in for the night after some last minute preparations for bed, thanks again to everyone for making my day so much more awesome ;_;
I'm glad you like it! I wasn't sure what to get you, always afraid to get something someone else already purchased for you. ^_^; But yeah, if you have any battling questions you can come to me. (and if I can't answer your question, I'll make sure to point you in the right direction)
Oh and seriously stop making me blush, okay? 😊 ❤
Happy birthday once again, it looks like you're having a good one. :D (hopefully IRL as well!)
Yeah I was not sure...what to do with the lips. I thought "well if they've been burnt there's probably scarring" D: Let me know what changes/adjustments you have for her!
Ahh so the cookies image made it through! Yay then :D THEY'RE REALLY THE CUTEST THING EVERR
Click! I accidentally found this while looking for stuff to put in the boxes and askjhsdfsj the page is super cute and interesting ^_^ THERE ARE MORE BIRDS
Lol really? But it's so siiimple I totally even forgot the necklaces, it's got to be the pretty background haha n_n All of the Shala pretty forest/mountain backgrounds~ I resent a bit being stuck with the super light latex forever, but MEH at least there are a couple delish lips I can use for uh, "less lipsticked" looks x-x Get us the ideas and we'll find a way to put the sets through :P GET THEEM -pokes repeatedly- Kel shall make some super cute icons for 'em all u
AHAHA well you're almost out of college (the undergrad/basic grad course at least!) so I guess bragging rights would have to end at some point anyway D: ugh jobs but lol @ you feeling old -keeps poking your face- ANTI AGING CREAM ONLY AFTER 25 XD!
[edit]

[ToT=meredithh] [Dance=meredithh]
It's official. I'm turning this into my thank you thread because gift bragging is sooo overcrowded with them right now I'm not... actually the kind to "brag" about gifts, per se. D:
The funny thing is, it's the 26th here (has been for almost 9 hours!) but I find it busier today than yesterday, mostly because it was my turn to cook for the family and then there's Subeta lag which makes it impossible for me to view threads more than half the time. ; n ; I'm sick and i may have to go stay in bed after i eat the breakfast i cooked
So I WASN'T EVEN DONE STUFFING TREES as evidenced by I wanted to send specific people tree gifts but I woke up and was all TREES ARE OPEN and now I can't so I'll have your stuff in boxes instead. ;A: I'm sorry for being such a butt kfhdkfhdj (I'm especially crying because I really wanted to get you something but I couldn't find your WL things ;A: I wasn't sure you were back from hiatus and tHEN SUDDENLY A GIFT IN MY TREE OMG;; 8C )
I may go with personalized thanks later in the day, hopefully the lag + my internet connection will not be as terrible by then ;A: I hope you're all spending the holidays with the people you love! :)
Happy Holidays/ Happy Luminaire/Merry Christmas to everyone -- much love and thanks to all of you ; m ; and again i'm sorry for being the hugely awkward mess I am
Sorry for any Double Pings!
(oh wow i was going to buy that for myself just a few hours ago and then D8) (!!!! you're back!) ( ; m ; oh wow you spoiled me ) ( I FINALLY SAW the extent of what you've done)
THANK YOU to all of you! I hope all your wishes come true and that 2014 will be an awesome year for you. ;A; I'm literally at a loss for words right now.
<3 happy holidays to you, too. Hope you're not feeling too sick!
Your wishlist was tough! ahahaha Q u Q; More like, thank you for the amazing things you've sent! B'aww. I was in the midst of typing my own thread but I'm starting to feel that it'd be better for me to comment people to say thanks xD; /shot'd This is what I get for being slow I guess. Happy Holidays bb!
-poke- TREES ARE OPEN TREES ARE OPEN TREES ARE OPEN XD Well just send it all packed ^_^ HOPE YOU CAN RESUME MAKING LOTS OF SP NOW.
ps. your gifts arent entirely over yet just you wait mwahah
Merrrrrrrrry christmas....sorta lol since you're ahead of me xP But I'm happy you liked my lame gifts, the BG's from paris _ told me I had to commission it
