Bunny/Valentine

pronouns: he/she/they
fun fact: was not allowed to watch Ed, Edd, n' Eddy as a kid
quote: "Sorry that was me."
theme: The Sun Always Shines on TV - A-HA

Bunny is a friend I can truly rely on when times get rough. For whatever reason, she has such words of wisdom when it comes to situations and problems that I or my friend group needs solving and has a great sense of humor and a great knack for storytelling. He is a huge beaming ball of sunshine and clouds and even during days that Valentine finds themself in a deep pit of sadness and despair, they will always reassure that they will come out okay in the end and offer to discuss the issues they've been having so he and the rest of us can build stronger bonds and foundations for our friendship.

Taylor

pronouns: she/sea/kit/shell
fun fact: hi
quote: "Everytime you look up at a star, that's me waving at you."
theme: Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God) - Kate Bush

Everytime I look at sea, I cannot help but feel as though we both share such common experiences with one another and we just haven't quite realized it. Taylor's such a shy, sensitive yet sweetest soul you've ever seen in your life and anything that shell makes to either vent out shells frustrations or express shellselves in the most self-indulgent way possible has beautiful, vivid imagery that rings true of kits deepest inner emotions. She's also another reminder to myself that my arts and actions have a profound impact on the people I know and love as kits inspired attitude towards my works is what keeps me moving forward.

Grimm

pronouns: it/they/he/nya
fun fact: is currently archiving a partially lost cartoon known as Oscar's Orchestra!
quote: "Can I have some?"
theme: The Night: Nights in White Satin - the Moody Blues

If I had to choose someone to be my sibling/brother of a lifetime, it'd have to be Grimm. I cannot tell you how much it has gone through and how much our experiences tie into eachother so, so heavily that me and Grimm have grown into a bond like no other. They have introduced me to most of my favorite sorts of media and in turn, I've gotten nya into a lot of the things that have made an impact on my life. Like all my other friends, Grimm has such a profound way of telling stories that are so dynamic & diverse that inspires me to not be so harsh on myself whenever I work on my artistic projects.

Tapir/Gray (or Ginjirotchi)

pronouns: he/fin
fun fact: once made art for a nifty Tamagotchi zine! (you should read it!)
quote: [Insert Quote Here]
theme: What's a Tamagotchi? - Tamagotchi Video Adventures

I have a lot of words when it comes to Gray in particular! For starters, his whole aesthetic is so dreamlike and whimsy to look at that it inspires me and my works to get more creative and out there; maybe it'll give me the chance to dapple into more of my whimsy spirit that most of my childhood nostalgia has. On top of that as well, Ginji has such incredible taste for older media from being into videogames like Cocoron (1991) for the Nintendo Famicom & the old 2000s MMORPG known as Whirled to being into cozy, older animes such as Maple Town & Sherlock Hound. Overall, I consider Tapir a very good friend that I actually don't often talk to that much (blame me for being shy as sin ><) and I wanna be able to get to know fin better as long as fins around!

Crunchy

pronouns: he/him
fun fact: is Doomguy IRL in the flesh.
quote: "When there's smoke, they pinch back. – Mario"
theme: Hedgehog Stew - iteachvader

Crunchy, in a lot of ways, reminds me so, so much of my younger self back when I was just a teenager in highschool. He has such a big heart that has enough love and worry for everyone he ever cares about and always knows when to look out for others whenever they need it. While him and Grimm were already good friends of 5 years, I actually met him last year in VRChat where the two of us had a proper conversation about Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. I think that was when we truly clicked as friends since apparently to Crunchy, I give off a very easygoing vibe that he seemed to trust (which I am very thankful for!). For me, when it comes to Crunchy's vibes, I always found so much respect and care inside of him and he always knows just what to say in times of need, even if he is skittish with his words or nervous with his choices.

Mecha/Entity

pronouns: she/they/xe/gator/🐊
fun fact: can recreate the perfect clown honk & Fluttershy's 'yay!'
quote: "coils up on you ..."
theme: Girls on Film - Duran Duran

What more can be said about my beautiful gator wife of 6 months? Xe is the most beautiful, most caring and creative soul I've ever met in my life and I've always found myself drawn to xer by the second. We too met in VRChat and we clicked when we began talking about AUs for Toontown. Soon, that grew into careful convos here and there about My Little Pony, maybe sometimes stuff relating to Toontown, to sharing our favorite songs, and then.. we just clicked together on May 27th. Everyday, I think so much about how lucky I was able to win over someone like Entity and how sweet and beautiful and kind she is despite having everything thrown at her. Hopefully, I'll get to meet up with her one day.

Apollo

pronouns: he/him
fun fact: is very, very gay
quote: "fuk u"
theme: Subways of your Mind - FEX

I still am mesmerized by the fact that I've known Apollo for almost nine whole years. NINE years! This is a best friend of mine that has seen me grow and change for almost a decade and he's always such a supportive sweetheart with a big artistic soul. We've known eachother back in the older days of Tumblr, to the vapid, horrid spaces of selfship communities (which I am thankfully out of), and now we're meeting up in real life to hang out and have fun, whether it's to the mall or even to a theme park! Apollo is a reminder for me that it's always good to have support systems and best friends not just online but also in real life as well. Even if it is only a few friends here and there, it's always good to have a shoulder to lean on.
