Hello by Take That
I've been listening to this song for the last few days, and every time it pops up on my playlist I just sit back and send happy thoughts at everyone I've met in the last few months. I said I'd rant at ryoflame on the Twitter earlier, so here goes while I'm still just rolling around in feelings:
Ryo is absolutely one of the sweetest, funniest, and most supportive people I have ever had the pleasure of talking to. A few months back, she reblogged one of my Tumblr posts and it's all downhill from there. I (unknowlingly) added her on Pesterchum, and when the window opened, I was so scared she wouldn't want to talk to me I had my mouse hovering over the red 'x' before even saying hello! Luckily, she took the first leap and we both sort of spazzed out when we revealed our True Identities. It was truly a thing of wonder.
We've known each other such a short time, but I honestly don't think it matters. We just go well together! Our senses of humour are the same (sarcastic and riddled with wit so sharp if you shook a stick at it you'd be left with only toothpicks), and even if both of us had a not-so-great day she never fails to pick me back up. She's constantly listening to me whine about Teenager Problems, but she never even complains and always has something reassuring to say or some grand fantasy to play along in. I admire her art and the way she expresses her opinions on Things that are Really Important to Me so freely and bluntly. Actually I just sort of admire her as a person. Ryo is the kind of bird to make you forget anything bad ever happened and make you believe that tomorrow is located in a completely new place. She's going to think it weird or creepy or something, but I hope I'm half as great as she is by the time I'm her age. She really looks out for me (and Jules) even from her position halfway round the world...I just want to do the same for her. I'm really proud to call her my friend and soon-to-be Canadian Wife.
(I have a lot more to say, but I'm kind of Worried that someone will try to take advantage of her good nature if I do!)
Through her I've met so many great people and now we're a little group of seven! How would it have been if she never said hello? We had a one in six billion chance of meeting and I'm just so glad it happened. Now I can look forward to meeting her in person and being the one to greet her first!
Now Jules I've known of for a little over a year. Known OF. A friend of a friend had an awkward girl-crush on her for such a long time and I was actually forbidden to talk to her until about five months ago (long story but Actually Kind of Interesting). She's...gosh she's got to be one of the best friends I've ever made. We're both really socially awkward and she actually intimidated me so badly, I had to take two or three months of sitting in close proximity just to tell her I thought spiders were cute. She showed me her binder full of 'Monster Hospital (her monsterverse project)' and I was blown away. Her mother swears up and down Julia told her that we're so close because I'm the only Real Life Homestuck she's met, so hello fandom friend??
She's incredibly talented and so imaginative, and one of the things I admire about her is that she never holds back. If she wants to do something she doesn't half-ass it (unless, of course, it's a half-assed doodle). She's a bit younger than me so it sounds funny, but she sticks up for me at school when I'm Too Apathetic to correct people on my gender (for those who don't know, I'm androgynous as anything) and I really appreciate it even though I'm a jerk and never tell her. Also she lets me call her 'bro' and rub my face on hers during class.
Seeing Jules at school and chatting with Ryo during break is really what gets me through the days most of the time, and I just want them both to know I really love knowing them. OKAY QUERIDAS I AM THANKING YOU WITH MY EYES
TL;DR: Nate only has two friends and likes to gush about how perfect they are.
