I have messed such good things up so many times because of my stupid mental illness.

I reminisce and go back through old messages and it makes my stomach drop to the floor. All of the good, wonderful things that slid from my hands, and I let them. With ease. In fact, I expedited their departure with my bullshit cowardly behavior and I can tell you right now I didn't even fully grasp what I was doing. Sickening, if I'm honest.

It's a heavy, deep, searing ache - wishing to go back in time to change things. I wish so deeply that I could do so that it feels like I'm being forced into a deficit of a vital need. It feels all too similar to grief, imagining and fantasizing about how different life could be, the people I would still know and love who would love me, and how much happier I would be, if I'd just been less of a coward.

Giftsplosion is upon us!

Even despite.... recent events, the 2010 Giftsplosion event should continue as normal.

There was 17 gifts this year! And today is the big day they open! I'm sure that Shedletsky or BrightEyes will make an announcement about all details regarding that but that's not why I'm here.

I know the past few months have been... stressful for our community here at Roblox. But let's make this Giftsplosion the best there's ever been!

I deeply apologize that I can't be there to celebrate with you, but don't let that stop you from having a blast this Christmas!

Sincerely, Builderman.

But.. you know that isn't the case right?

14 years later and Roblox hasn't held a single Giftsplosion since.

Don't you h a t e how a once beloved site morphed into a corporate, unfeeling, amalgamation of what it once was.

Or maybe you just miss being happy.

Back when you were little.

When you'd wake up to the chilly morning breeze.

And excitedly hop on the family computer.

To spend time with your friends.

On Roblox.com.

But, you can't go back to the past now can you?

No matter how much you H A T E your present.

You dug your grave, now rot in it.

Blakey 'won,' with Babe or Baby under 5% behind, as far as a fanon nickname poll can be won.

Some interesting things from replies and tags of reblogs:

Bell or other belladonna related nicknames. Blake isn’t really a nicknameable name in my opinion and they (Blake and Yang) were buddies way before they were dating, and Yang is definitely the Type to give nicknames. I think she’s the type to give a normal nickname and have it just get crazy from there.

Like with Ruby it’d be like Ruby to Rubs to Gemstone to Pebble to like Rock to Rock and Roll to Extra Extra. For Blake it’d be something similar, Belladonna to Bella to Bells to Donna to Don to Ella and then it’d just get crazy. Like Yang the music nerd would be like “Hey Stevie Nicks" as a reference to the album belladonna.

Blake would start responding to anything. It might evolve to literally anything starting with a 'b,' like Bonnie. Nicknames are just like that in my experience, domino effects man they’re crazy.

Adapted from @incredibly-unprofessional tags:

Blake and Yang calling each other honey would be SO FITTING LIKE CMON, they're literally THE BEES. BEES MAKE HONEY

o o o o o o also yang calling blake 'gorgeous'

From a reply by @vanphanel:

Yang would delight in coming up with new nicknames for Blake fitting to the occasion: some punny, some sincere, sometimes she'd just call her "Blake."

From @kkglinka's tags:

Honeybee

From @iactuallytryingtolovemyself's tags:

I think they would call each the most niche things. For Blake maybe things like “my dearest 50k omegaverse ninjas of love fanfic writer” or “my dear 'uuhh I mean you're great and I'll hurry back'"
