Wow, I loved reading your post a lot. <3 You are very generous and I'm sure people will appreciate it very much! I'm not very talkative myself generally, but since I've been pinged and Masquerade is a special event for me, I'm going ahead and think of the most lovely friends I have on here. (you'll be yelled at anyway :P) (I knew I forgot someone, sorry love, it wasn't intentional at all!). Whenever I have issues/I'm sad/I'm happy they are here for me so I really appreciate this. They spoil me a lot, and help me a lot as well. And I'm so happy that, even though we speak different languages, there are no real barriers and they manage to practically always understand my poor English. LOL.

Have fun gifting, and enjoy this 2016 Masquerade! C:

As already mentioned, I am here because of her! It's so funny that you made this thread because I wanted to do something similar to honor her and her constant friendship and generosity over the years. I'm kind of choked up at the moment thinking about how much I treasure her just for being the kind person she is! <3

Over the years I have made friends with many great people thanks to subeta. Some have even been part of my real life too. I left subeta for a few years but have been back strong for 10 months. Since my return I've made many new friends that are truly wonderful people! The ones that are always there/here for me are: and last but not least my boo

If I've forgotten anyone I'm going to kick myself... :-P

@ springjoy That is SO sweet!! I truly love the subeta community! So many people always showing love and support and kindness. I love being able to escape RL and just swim in puddles of love here for once in my life once I log on xD

This is lovely of you!! ;0; squishes your face

I have SO many friends on here. But here is a few that I think are JUST THE BEES KNEES!

(I GOTTA STOP NOW. I SWEAR I AM TRYING NOT TO LIST MY WHOLE FRIENDS LIST BUT ITS SO HARD. TOO LONG THO)

I love everyone on here. SUBETA RULEZ (bILLY MADISON REF RN)

Oh, this is wonderful! As if I need an excuse to brag about my fabulous friends, but hell, I'll take it!

You girl, oh man... what do I say? You're beautiful smile lights up my day and we just get along so well! I'm so happy to say you are part of my online family! Forever, boo!

Meggers! I love you to pieces! You always make me laugh and should I ever get into any other fandoms, I'll be sure to ask my favorite Whovian what it's all about!

The entire reason I found Subeta in the first place! You have sure helped me find my way here, Heather, and I'll never forget how awesome you are. Even if our chats have slowed down in recent months, due to work and diverse interests, you will always be my sister from another mister! (i'd ping Mystic if I knew she'd be around for this, but she won't be...that turd!)

The fellow as old as time itself. Always lurking, always good for friendly banter and laughs. He is probably one of my closer, more random friends.

Robes, we've known each other a long time too. I am so glad Heather and I dragged your butt here from Gaia. And I so appreciate how you took to the site like a sponge to water! I know more recently your attention has been elsewhere, but I know you still check in here. Love you buddy!

And thanks to for such a lovely idea/thread concept.

thank u so much for the nomination babe omg nah but Ria's such a sweetheart. I don't think I'd ever have gotten 3 of my pets to be Hydrus if she didn't gift me a couple pieces of the map during my first Masquerade ;v;

my best friend & partner in crime she first got me into subeta and i adore the site so much. i love the friends i've made here

I want to nominate and <3 Both are insanely sweet people who have helped me through some really rough patches in life. I love you both so much <3

Thank you so much for the ping sweets :D! This is such a cute thread ;__;

OH I HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE TO NOMINATE. ❤ These are all super wonderful people who I literally could not survive on Subeta without. And, frankly, wouldn't want to.

You're beautiful and I love you. You are one of the sweetest, kindest, funniest people I have had the great pleasure to meet here! Thank you for the ping, and thank you for being my subeta family. And for coming to my wedding to eat the sugar free cupcakes. It's going to be awesome.

MEGOOBLEUFF. I don't even know where to start with you. There are no words to convey just how much you mean to me and how knowing you has bettered my life. ❤ I look forward to seeing you pop on facebook/skype every evening so I can have my Meg time. My day isn't complete until I tell you about it. You're such a sweet, generous soul and I am forever grateful that we met. I love youuu. Also thanks for carrying our love child.

You are such a talented photographer. And a beautiful person!! Like inside and out! Start coming back to the shoutbox some more because I'm having like serious Elle withdrawal. ALSO we need to CAH again soon because I'm having withdrawal. And so are Meg and Cher. xD

I miss talking to you for like hours everyday about everything. I love you. ❤ You are one of my best friends and bitch buddies and I'm so glad we met!

FROG BUDDY. I love that you get so excited with me over frogs. I feel like that's really enough said. But, I do also love your fun, thoughtful, generous spirit. You're so sweet. ❤ And adorable. Super adorable. c:

I dunno man, I just love you. xD ALSO may I have this next dance? Because you still owe me one. xP

You're my favorite daughter. Don't tell the others.

You are such a hard worker, even with everything life throws at you. I admire your strength. ❤ Also you're super beautiful. And my Amby. Which is super important, obvs. Keep being your adorable self.

FINISH YOUR THESIS SO YOU CAN COME BACK ON SUBETA YOU HARLOT.

Oh my gosh, I can't believe I got this far down my post without pinging you! ❤ I love you, Wifey! And I'm super proud of you and your new job!

You haven't sent me rabbit pictures in a while. not that I'm bitter. But I am. BUT I LOVE YOU. xD

I feel like if you were any more adorable it'd be illegal.

You are a strong, beautiful woman and you deserve only the best. Remember that. xoxo

Thank you for always telling me to get out of the pawn shop. Even when I don't listen. Someone has to take care of my finances since I'm clearly not going to do it.

It was a dark time on the shoutbox when you were gone. Glad to have you back, Gloria! ❤

This is really lovely of you to do. It really is all the lovely people on the this site that make it so enjoyable. This past Lumi I met a group of the loveliest and most generous people, they're now my online family. They're generousity and support make my life brighter every day. So I would love to nominate just a few of them:

Okay, so I'm going to do a bit of gushing, but this here is for all of you!

Subeta has taught me a great deal about a ton of things. I used to have awful social anxiety, and fine-tuning my online persona helped me a TON with that. I've suffered from depression and anxiety since before I began playing, and I've always found Subeta to have a base of compassionate and helpful individuals. Subeta also taught me that, as an artist and designer and developer, it's OKAY to place a value on my work! Society so often tells us that art is not worth anything, that art is easy and should be given out for free. The art market here opened my eyes to the foolishness of that way of thinking. And I can genuinely say that the people here have truly, truly taught me that the joy of GIVING supercedes the joy of receiving. I know that sounds hokey as hell, but it's so true. There are so many lovely people who won't even bat an eye at giving a stranger a meaningful gift or the help they need. And man, is that inspiring.

I love you all!

When I returned from my long period of inactivity early this year, I was a little lost and isolated. All of my original friends I had made on Subeta were no longer around. I will particularly mention . I hope you're spreading your cheer and hope wherever your soul may be. I miss our talks about the world and optimism and how everything happens for a reason.

But then I opened the shoutbox and got a bit out of my comfort zone. And, lo and behold, I made some amazing friends :3

My dear, thanks for tagging me in this 😊 Our friendship really "clicked" very randomly and suddenly — and I couldn't be happier! You're a lovely lady. You're always there to encourage and support and be kind to others, and that's my kind of person!

BABE where do I even start? We were definitely meant to meet. I love your sense of humor, your affection, your friendliness... And, by the way, I think you're gorgeous and don't give yourself nearly enough credit! You need to regard yourself a little bit more highly, because damn, you're one of the best women I've met for sure ❤

Dear favourite raccoon: Even though we're pretty different people, we've shared a lot of the same struggles. And even though we don't talk about that kind of stuff too often, I still feel like we totally relate on a fundamental level~ You're a total cutie, I adore your sense of humor, and I adore being around you and talking to you.

You're a goof and I love you. Your puns make me groan and roll my eyes... with a smile on my face :P You're so generous and kind and friendly towards everyone, and I'm happy to count you among my friends :3

To the rest of you who I haven't mentioned by name: Thank you for making my Subeta experience amazing. Love you all!

Awww I remember when was just new to ASP. I am truly honored that I was her first friend because I think she is pretty special. Our little Gerty. Along with Gert I would like to nominate and because they were my first friends on here. Also, a very special nomination to because he always makes me feel like I'm a worthwhile person in general. Totally spoiled me all of Valentines week and let me tell you when I say spoiled it doesn't even really begin to cover it. and (who I will always feed cake) for being in my rainbow crew and for being my fellow Disney lover! I would also like to nominate my daughter because she is my whole <3

Wow :O!! I love events just like you and luminaire was how I made my first couple of friends on Subeta! Then this luminaire I made a whole bunch <3! So that's what I love about Subeta. I love the people because no matter whats happening someone will help, someone will talk, and most of all there's always someone to listen!

Imma list a few friends with reasons:

- this is my partner of 3 years in RL and we've been through too much together and he put me on to subeta during our first year together so I had something to distract myself with!

- This girl is magical. Thanks to Snoblol I have tons of friends now as I decided to enter her random lumi post last year <3!! And I love seeing I have a sMail as I know it'll no doubt be gossip

- I'm not sure how to describe Starr! The genourosity is unbelievable but alas RL hasn't been so kind to her recently so if anyone deserves something at all it's Starr!

- Lady is always about to send me plushies and beanbags for my collection that I'll never complete haha! Lady is in pain a lot atm and deserves some love <3

- Together we've been helping each other with our collections and they are going through crazy pain atm as well :(!!

- I talk to No daily and her strength is immense. I cry like a little girl if I stub my toe but No has been in pain for over a year now :(!

All my friends deserve <3's! I just wish it could be me giving it

awwww <3 I remember when we first all joined!! both you, , stacers and me!! haha Some of my first friends were the fab , amongst others!! and even though I was the only brit amongst them we had/ have an amazing sisterhood <3 <3 <3

~This is always a nice idea :) ~Aww Jazzy, you are such a dear. I was delighted when we figured out that we'd been friends on Gaia, and ended up here. :D I am so glad to know you. HUGS ~You know you are one of the dearest people in my life here and RL, I think, enough said. ~ What a treat to get to meet you ad your mom at that show! Making new friends is sometimes hit or miss, y'all were a hit! ~I really do enjoy you so much, you're a very sweet person. ~YOu are also one of the best people I know. It's such a pleasure to go online and see the cool links you leave for me. You are fun to talk to, and make my day better ~ you've been a good friend for so long, I am lucky to have you in my life. ~ I miss you my dear, I wish I knew how you were doing. ~You were my second friend on this site, I am glad you are still here. :)

There are so many more... but those are a few special ones.

This is honestly one of the sweetest things that I have ever seen someone do. Having friends is the best and not just any friends, but friends that you can rely on and have so much fun with. It's nice to be able to get away from real life for a bit and that's just what Subeta is for me.

Subeta is my little escape from the stress of everyday life. I may not be an adult yet, but my days can be surprisingly stressful, so it's nice to have a group of people that I can come home to and just talk and laugh with. And for that reason, these are some of the people who are continually brightening up my day and making me laugh and just people in general that I am honored to be able to call my friends. P.S. - Only doing the people I talk to EVERY SINGLE day otherwise the list would be way to long. I STILL LOVE THE REST OF YOU SO PLZ DON'T BE OFFENDED <3

- MAH BFFIZZLE!! She is always there for me no matter when I need her. She's a pain in my bootay (in a good way though) and I loves her. She's always there to calm me down and talk some sense into me and just make everything okay. LOOOOVVESSS YOU. You've been with me through thick and thin and I really appreciate that. MAH SANDGRIZZLE FOR LIFE. <3 THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO. YOU KNOW YOU ARE THE BESTEST. xD But seriously, thank you for being such a big part of my life. Without you, I would've been admitted to an insane asylum a long time ago.

- MAH MANDAPANDA. She's always making sarcastic and sassy remarks that constantly have me rolling on the floor. She's as sweet as can be and I always have a blast when I'm talking to her. Thank you for fitting into our bear-triangle-of-awesomeness (I just made that up and it's really lame but I'm leaving it there so you can cringe). xD

- We've literally been friends for YEARS now and we always end up talking about some of the weirdest things. We have so much fun just bouncing ideas around and just complain about life and talking about life. Thank you for being bomb as fudge. :* You come up with the most beautiful HAs, but I'm pretty sure you get enough people telling you that already. xD

.Oru - YOU BISH!! Nah, I loves you. xD You always know exactly what to say and know how to see things from both sides of the situation. You give the best advice and you're funny as heck. Thanking you for blessing mah life with your wisdom and sarcasm. xD

- IS THAT YOUR BREATH OR DID YOU JUST FART??? Thank you for putting up with my random spaziness and weirdness and just putting up with me in general. xD You say the funniest things and you're honestly most talented person I know. YOU ALWAYS BE STEALING MY MONEY THO YOU JERK. <3 I'm really happy that we've gotten so close because honestly, our conversations are life. xD I don't know anyone else that likes talking about bodily functions with me as much as you do. cx THANKS AGAIN FOR PUTTING UP WITH MY ASS ON A DAILY BASIS.

- LIPE!! You dah life of the party man. xD AND DAT WEAVE THOOO. I SHALL NEVER FORGET. Thank you for bringing just as much laughter as everyone else into my life. AND HA MAKING SKILLS ALWAYS ON POINT LIKE GOSH DAMN. xDD Thank you for joining me in my weirdness and tolerating it just like everyone else. LOL

- //FARTS ON YOU - Thank you for being so helpful and sweet and always being there when I need to talk. AND FOR LOVING PINK. LIKE YASSS GURL. You the queen of pank. xD I don't know what I would do without you and I'm honestly so honored to be able to call you one of my friends. ;w; You truly are one of the sweetest people I know.

- DAT NOSE GURL. You're the most talented nostril flarer of all time and honestly, you need to go down in the world record books for that. You're a spazz but gurl, you seriously know how to bring a smile to mine and everyone elses faces.

- I don't even know where to start. Thank you for not being afraid to come ot me when you need to talk and for listening to me when I need to talk. I'm really happy that we've been able to become friends. Thank you for making me smile and laugh and adding an entirely new dimension to my life.

But yeah, that's quite a few of my friends (and trust me there are very many more). Thank you to all the other people that I didn't specifically mention. You all make Subeta just that much more fun and I don't take any of you for granted. Your friendship truly does mean more than anyone of you know. <3

Thank you for the too kind words! There are friends that I would love to nominate: - always managed to lift my spirits with her sweetness, - always there even when I don't deserve her and - warm soul and kind heart so easy to appreciate.

They've all been pinged before by other users but that just shows how wonderful they are ❤️❤️ They've become my online family and I can't imagine being subeta without them to name a few

Also a shoutout to for being someone I can talk to/rant to about music XD and for being a good friend in general ❤️❤️

yes and same here!

I have depression and lately it's been pretty bad but these ladies have kept me going whether they know it or not.
