HAPPY BIRTHDAY YUMI!
can you believe it? you’re old and unc now! 🥰the timer above is not accurate at all (i based it off of our first instagram dm, which was when we became close, but we met wayyy before) but can you imagine how long its been? i was just a high school ankle biter when i met you, and now you’re about to enter college and i’m about to graduate.. time flies by so quick.you are, no doubt, just like family to me. we’ve grown up together and braved so many challenges and i’ve gotten to see you mature and thrive. from weird irls to goofy ahh relatives to internet bozos, from a hot pocket gooner groomer to a fake 18 year old, these past 5 or 6 years have been pretty chaotic, but i can’t imagine having anyone else by my side through it all. we click so well that you feel just like a twin sister to me, and i’ve learned so much from you. i’m grateful every day to have you in my life.i never thought i’d ever get to meet someone so kind, so thoughtful, so caring in all my life. it hasn’t always been smooth sailing, but i’m so fortunate you’ve stuck by me the whole time, even when things around us are rough or when i’m being difficult. i know i’m not always the easiest person to put up with, so i’m so thankful that you never gave up and stuck with my stupid ass. now you’re unc, and i’m unc, and i’ve never been happier to have a best friend like you.thank you so much again for being my best friend and for being overall wonderful. scratch might be a broken site but i’m so lucky it gave me a chance to meet you.
happy happy happiest birthday! i hope your year is happy, healthy, and just as wonderful as you are.
🩵 with love,
fish

the first birthday we celebrated together! i took the liberty of removing the bozos, and i actually think it looks better and more true to how i wanted it to be this way 💀(not so fun fact, the three of them look so out of place in the original because they were an afterthought.. i had felt bad not including them so i had to squeeze them in and it was stressing me out so bad HAHAHA)i remember thinking this concept was so cute and clever, even though you never played omori.. (i saw you listed it as “want to play” on discord though so if you ever get a steam acc i’ll slide it to you 👁️👁️)

fun fact, the canvas size on this one was so big it wouldn’t even load into carrd until i compressed it..all your ocs have such fun designs that i knew i absolutely HAD to give a shot at drawing them all in one image sooner or later. the just a facade world is definitely a lot more developed now than it was at the time of drawing this, and you have a lot of other stories with their own beautiful characters, so i wonder what it’d look like if i redrew this lol
