On November 22nd, 2011, I signed up for IMAGINE online back in the times of EN. Then around December 2013 I took interest in the Japanese servers, and ended up becoming active on JP in late-January 2014. Sure I was a hair late to the IMAGINE party compared to a bunch of others here who've been here since day 1, and even for my first two years on IMAGINE, I was super shy and almost talked to no one or really did anything on the forums. Truth was that while I was super shy, I was VERY worried that I was going to be disaproved of highly. Around the times of EN IMAGINE, I was more involved with the "Mainline" SMT fans, trying my best to be the kind hearted neutral one (Since I was very scared to get into SMT at first ngl). I was more in with the "Main" SMT folks, and let's just say they weren't exactly the kind of people I want to bother talking to at all, heck most of them put my guts in a knot with terrible attitudes. I was even getting some flack for making cute art for a "DARK AND EDGY" series! But around the time when JP started, I started to open up a little bit more. As I joined clans and I started to do my usual gig of things, I was honestly floored by something. It was about just how nice and pleasant everyone I was around was. Most of the people I knew from Mainline SMT land left a pretty bad taste in my mouth for a wide variety of reasons that boils down to attitudes I just despise. But the people I knew on IMAGINE and on the forums here, they where kind, helpful, funny, and generally didn't judge if I played Nocturne, DDS, or SMT 1 blindfolded or not. Sure I've ran into a few bad eggs and bad days like with anything ever, but my experience in IMAGINE has been super positive 97% of the time. I'm still really shocked since I, again, came from where 95% of people constantly judge your taste in games. I sometimes wish I opened up a bit sooner on IMAGINE, but it's better late than never. I look forward to keep on doing this for a years to come, it be in game stuff or over on the forums! But if we've talked in game, on the forums, or both, I thank you a whole bunch. You've really made my experience really count a whole bunch! ...Alright yeah this was a bit cheesier than 4 cheese pizza but I felt really warm and fuzzy today and felt I needed to say something.

Hope to see you around sometime too! I honestly was about to be 100000000% done with SMT/Megaten stuff and go back to Rockman or try and find new sea to sail. Because wow a good handful of SMT people I saw on some websites *coughtumblrcough* where really..."make me not want to talk about SMT or enjoy it in the slightest". Sure I know a lot of cool, chill, and laid back people there, but they're diamonds in the rough in a sea of cow manure tbh. But even if I came in and knew the community kinda late, I'm very thankful I did at some point, because I enjoy talking with you guys, making cute fan art, and throwing doodle streams, and maybe even a bit more in the future to bring the community a bit closer...and with 4000% more cute, fluffy things strewn about. (pink forum theme pls)

IS THAT A POKEMON? OMG IT'S SO CUTE.Also, i'm glad that you're a part of the forum, in fact i couldnt imagine the forum without you at this point. I only have a handful of people to chat with myself since a fair amount of the community is rather shy. Plus it's totally an added bonus that you HAVE BECOME THE COMMUNITIES OFFICIAL ARTIST BWAHAHAHAHAAAAH! (I mean that in a good way :3) Seriously though, a little friendliness can go a long way, you've proven the theory. Here's to you Kit! May you continue to entertain and inspire.

Probably my favorite Pokemon to arise in recent times too, in fact. Seriously look at it's so adorable (And it's where my enchanter's namesake come's from, at least if you look at the Japanese name haha). Well I try my best to be nice and forgiving. I can't be friends with everyone (that's impossible!), but man do I try my best to be a very laid back person who tells bad jokes (and by bad jokes I mean unbearable puns and jokes that are inappropriate) and makes cute art. And I shall gladly take the role and continue to be the community's official artist and hopefully recruit others into my wake, all as I and others out there entertain others to keep the community lively and fun!

Personally, I don't remember ever caring what others thought of me. I'd always rather be myself than pretend to be who I'm not. Because of that (and the fact that I'm highly introverted), I have very few people I consider friends. But I'd rather have 1 true friend than 1,000 fake ones. Some people just don't understand art, huh? Heck, if Atlus can " cutify" their own games by making the "Devil Children" series, why shouldn't people make cutesy SMT art of their own? You know, that reminds me of something that happened to me some years back. One of my friends noticed I had a game called "Princess Maker 2" on my PC. He frowned, turned toward me and said: "Why do you have a shortcut called 'Princess Maker 2'? I'm looking at you askance.". My reply was rather simple: "'Cause it's an awesome game. You should try it.". Not only did he try it, he got hooked on it - and he even got the sequel later. Well, in any case - I hope you'll continue to enjoy your time here and...

Because of that (and the fact that I'm highly introverted), I have very few people I consider friends. But I'd rather have 1 true friend than 1,000 fake ones. Could just be that fact that I'm a very self conscious person because a friend I am ever so thankfully now former friends with, constantly judged others (yet they where really nice to me and my friends??) about everything. It could be other's art (after all they where an art school graduate who became very stingy along the way), interests, or even sense of humor. Now criticism is 100% okay, but they where kind of the "Pitch Forks n' Torches and Rip Apart Art You Don't Like" breed, along with being 99% of things I can not like in a person. Sure they where insanely talented, but good art shouldn't be a cover up for bad behavior you know? Indeed, if Atlus themselves can make SMT cute, why can't I and others out there? Besides being cute doesn't mean "pushover" or 'bad", just look at the Fairy Race, Inexperienced Demons, or Devil Children: Red and Black Book (I actually read the translated scripts for both games, they where insanely heart wrenching for something with a very cutesy art style). You know, that reminds me of something that happened to me some years back. One of my friends noticed I had a game called "Princess Maker 2" on my PC. He frowned, turned toward me and said: "Why do you have a shortcut called 'Princess Maker 2'? I'm looking at you askance.". My reply was rather simple: "'Cause it's an awesome game. You should try it.". Not only did he try it, he got hooked on it - and he even got the sequel later.[/quote] Man I kind of wish I was a bit more lucky in that department of "Getting Friends to Play Games". I tried to introduce my former friend who was a cranky art student to Persona, since they wanted to see why a lot of people where into it. Turns out they never gave it a fair chance in the slightest because "ANIME VISUAL NOVELS SHOULD NOT BE MADE INTO GAMES!!!!" yet they threw themselves at Dangan Ronpa every second they could. But what am I saying, said person claimed Pyro Jack was the most underrated SMT demon ever and I'm just here in the back like "bruh, try liking a demon that's only showed up in 2 games and in one of those games you only know like 2 people who actually use him". Such is heartbreak for being a fan of the Wonderfully Designed Fiend Tokisada. </////3 ...But enough Drama Smack talk, I'm at least glad you where able to introduce someone into a game you enjoyed greatly! Heeey Kiiiiit? I went and got Pokemon Y since you rekindled my old nostalgia for Pokemon xD All of my favorites! Arent they cute? Cant wait to catch them all! <3 YEAAAAAAAAAH YOU GO FOX! I personally got X because A: RAINBOW FAIRY DEER and B: There's another series I like involving the letter X and a Blue Protagonist (COUGHMEGAMANXCOUGH). I'm glad you can jump back into the Pokemon funstuffs, because wowowowow Pokemon X/Y is super great. And yes they're all super cute, I need to get more eeveelutions, though I already have a regular Sylveon and a Shiny Sylveon too (Named Titania and Oberon respectively because I'm lame -laughs-). I need more cute elemental foxies! DDD:

pushing 3 years myself, this community has always been a community like no other,
albeit awkward sometimes but I'd rather be friends with those kind of people than any other
it's like (most) of the negativity online just doesn't come here
~member of meep, may that clan rest in peace and one day respond to my skype messages(also i wasn't very outspoken and i still am not, but i've been here for quite a bit off and on)
here's to (hopefully) quite a few more years
