Say… this “finding Amy’s new design” arc sure has been going around for quite a while. And by “while” I mean, almost half a year. That's probably because I wanted to mostly post a comment once a month to avoid getting too annoying towards ya, but y'know, it's quite the impressive feat we got there, amirite? Even though the arc's definitely not the greatest thing to ever happen in the history of the world, it still felt like we both made something to get excited/suspenseful for. Like an anime story arc should. And speaking of history, I think we can both agree that the two of us had a first in our own histories. (This mostly revolves around me though but I think you’ll get the point.)
On your side of the story, you’ve created a character that, many years after I took that first glance at it, slowly maturely became a major hyperfixation of mine just like all the other comfort characters that have already joined the club. Except, unlike all the others, it came in with something… uniquely adventurous, as if it’s about to go through a rollercoaster of ups and downs for not just it, but myself.
That’s where my side of this whole “histories” story comes in. Never in my whole life behind the computer screen(s) had I truly interacted with someone who was once an OG in the YouTube Animation Meme community, let alone someone who was the creator of one of my comfort characters. But the moment I started getting an uneasy feeling that something wrong may have happened to my newest locked-in comfort character after literally seeing it in my dreams, it felt like I had no other choice. And just like that, this was where this not-so-dramatic arc of ours began. It was the first time ever a comfort character of mine was able to do something like this.
The moment you said you wanted me to give you tips on making the new design for this brand new comfort character of mine you’ve created, I (somewhat) got chills. Was I really going to help somebody who once inspired thousands (and maybe even millions) of people? There was absolutely no reason to say no to that, of course! And so, for the first time ever, I was actually making a contribution towards somebody everyone once called a legend to the animation community.
Now, fast forward to the present. Through all those anxiety attacks I’ve had to conquer, and all those lights of hope we’ve had along the way, we sure made quite the lil’ epic adventure together. Over a redesigning of a character, no less. However, there’s still one more page of the book to get through before it can be finished. And I think you already know what it’s about. I don’t even have to tell you again for the 1364209187098325th time to let you know.
But all in all, get this: No matter what lies ahead for the both of us, at least we can safely say we had a great time together making these small accomplishments of ours. And someday, we can do it again. I may not get the ending I wanted, and I may not be able to show you my biggest ideas for my new comfort character of yours because of it (no offense), but above everything else, all I wanted to say is…

Hi again! Hope you’re still hanging in there.
Say… this “finding Amy’s new design” arc sure has been going around for quite a while. And by “while” I mean, almost half a year.

…thank you.
Thank you for the experience. :’)
