#i’ll quit being mushy with my heart on my sleeve now but thank you @runnerzero

For RunnerZero

I don’t have a title other than randomly saying “Yo! @runnerzero !” & I have no idea if you would appreciate me saying that or not haha but anyway, after seeing this ( original reblog link goes here ) on your page, I wanted to reblog and give credit where credit is due but also make this a little bit more of a special shout out to you specifically and for the community as well. ^_^ 

What’s funny is that I have been wanting to make an appreciation post for you but wasn’t sure how to go about it at first. ^^’ I’m still having weird issues of having a steady hand in drawing but maybe I can make it up to you in the future. ^_^ 

Again - not my original idea but the original inquiry gives me a prompt to start with so - time to begin! :D 

If I could hand in actual papers to you @runnerzero on my perception and appreciation of you - I  would and then probably even make it into a small journal of sorts if I got too ramble-y. 

I have said it before but you were one of the first people on here & in this community to ever say hello to me, make me feel welcomed like I had been apart of everything for years.

 Any silly drabble I’d post - you would see it and like it almost immediately and I don’t know how you keep up with everyone who posts on here and have for years but I genuinely admire and respect you for all that you do here.

 I see you continue to encourage and welcome newcomers and veterans alike on here and I just - want to give you something tangible that let’s you know how awesome you are, how much your connectivity and personality and effort are appreciated to the nines and beyond. 

You are like the center of this community, you continue to branch, reach out and get so many encouraged and excited about events on here like ZR Secret Santa. 

We have so many wonderful people in this fandom and community and I don’t have a doubt that you have inspired most if not all of us in one way or another. 

You definitely have for me. I always want to give back in some way to let you know you are appreciated and loved here. 

What’s cool about the ZR fandom is that everyone who joins or posts something gains an immediate supporter and Internet Friend. There is a lot of positivity and wholesomeness here and you are a huge reason why it exists, and why it continues to grow every year. 

This has gotten away from me sharing my perception of you but I perceive you as a very smart soul who has to juggle so many things in their personal world and possibly on here too but you make it look effortless. 

You have a strength and charisma about you that just beams like the beacon leading Runner Five back to Abel. 

I perceive you as hilarious, someone with biting wit,  who is both organized but chaotically disorganized as well but with a huge heart and creative spirit. If you were a character from the fandom you are without a doubt Janine - and I don’t say that lightly - you are a powerful badass who does a lot for everyone, and this community needs and appreciates you dearly. 

I mentioned Janine because this is the ZR fandom and community but I perceive you - individually - as a remarkable person as well as a friend. A friend that I hope is always doing well and is having a good day because you matter.

So - it’s not as much but - thank you for all that you do and for being here @runnerzero and for somehow making sure at the end of the day that someone’s day here is acknowledged and possibly brightened  nearly every day. 

A thank you seriously doesn’t feel like it’s enough but until I can formulate a decent essay or suggest a soundtrack - I hope you won’t mind a heartfelt appreciation post. <3
