EMBRACE THE MOLD

  Today you will learn about my wonderful friend Zed! I made this for his birthday!!! I'm so happy that you've made it this year, and I'm so happy I've met you!! You've been one of the most wonderful friends I've ever had especially after the awful ordeal I went through during the first parts of our friendship. Your patience has been lovely, and you showed me that there was so much kindness in the world again. It's safe to trust others and to rely on them.
  You give me the courage to take on the day. When I see messages from you, I light up! I glow! Sometimes I'm really scared of everything happening around me, but you reassure me and comfort me. I'm so happy when we voice chat, when we play games, when we draw together, and other things! Thank you for sending me fashion that reminds you of me! I love sending you things too. I'm happy I introduced you to Second Life. I love hanging out with you in game.
  Your art is so gorgeous. I hope you know that. The amount of skill you have constantly amazes me, and I love your concepts and ocs. I'm always honored to playtest your games and I love when you show me what you're working on. I am such a big Skim Milk fan!!!! I can't wait for his game to come out!!!! Give me the moldy catboy!!!
  Sometimes, life seems so dark, and then I talk to you, and suddenly, I can see, you know?



EMBRACE THE MOLD




Zed shrine continued!
  It's been a while since I updated this shrine. It slowly decayed as I updated other parts of my website. We were doing so many other things like ophazines and making games and moderating servers and responding to weird situations (LOL) that this page ultimately felt.. small and tiny..
  Despite my many anxieties, my friendship with Zed has continued peacefully. You draw me drawings when I'm sad, and I try to surprise you with drawings too! We plan to play games together, and we gossip and you always are nice to me when I struggle with health issues. You make me feel sane.
  I used to think... after what happened to me in 2021, I'd never have another close friend again. I would just.. be isolated forever. Or just have a lot of people in my life I'd be somewhat loosely connected to, but you somehow wormed your way into my mind's eye. You made me believe in love again! You made me believe I nice people exist.. People can be kind without ulterior motives..
  Thank you for talking to me so much. I love our calls and I love when you talk to me about your coworkers and your game ideas and your ocs and show me your art. I hope I can continue to cheer you on forever, you know? You understand? You can't get rid of me now!
