note- under full disclosure that I will not be getting any sort of reward for this, I just wanted to wait until the last day to write for one of the most important people in my life,,,

here u go soomther,,,


sender: crim (morghettio)
addressee: ceance
message: last day, reserved for one of the most special people in my life - my soomther.
I often think about where we come from - I have been taught that family does not have to be blood, and this is especially important and true when it comes to you. its funny to think that our friendship and our relationship as famther and soomther started out at something so... laughable. us joining rpws together, naming both our characters dave at the same time without knowing each other... after that, turning into convos about our love for big sweatshirts where we can slap people with the sleeves and roller coasters and our dogs.
so when we spoke on skype and started to build our relationship more, I had no idea I would be standing here today with my best friend by my side. I don't know what I would do without you- but I still remember how I called you john child, because one night we took a homestuck quiz that was like three hours long just to find out our god tiers, and while I got some super obscure one (knight of doom) you got the same type as john (which I called in advance). I remember when I started getting really sick because of my grandma, getting through the ordeal with my mom- and while you were really far away, you always felt like you could have just been a car ride down the street, because you were there with me when I was at my worst.

that was always our relation. being stupid, doing fun stuff, running around on feral heart together for hecks and giggles. our two daves, our coolkids- turning and spiraling into creating these in depth characters, building worlds around them. that hasn't changed- I look at wulfe and morgan, and feel the same feelings I do from day one.

I remember how well known it became that we were this.. package deal. you got dave as the stellar artist, you got crim as the reliable mod. we were always in the same communities together and would do literally everything together- the dynamic duo. during all that, I kept my homestuck title- I was the knight and stalwart protector. I protected you where I could, but you protected me too: we took my flamethrower and your chainsaw, and we were ready to take on the world. you might have not confronted problems directly the way I did, but you always stuck at my back and made sure everything was okay for me. we were so close, inseparable, and nothing could come between us- behind closed doors, I remember the inside jokes and laughs and au's that cluttered my computer's dropbox (remember the cursed high school au we made with our rpw kids? wild).

you always kept me going. you always kept me going, even when I did not see that light at the end of the tunnel, sometimes. you saw something in me that I could never see in myself, especially back then- you always knew the right way to make me feel better, too. you gave me silly tshirts or just dance theme songs, or just serious talks when I really needed it. you did this even when I was so bad I couldn't offer the same.

I remember before.. well, the incident that just bridged everything apart, we rarely fought. not even once a year, even. every time we did we would take a break, but come back and realize our mistakes, do better and make up. when the whole big blowout happened, you still stuck by me and tried to make me think rationally, even when I was bitter and mad. the only reason we stopped talking then is because I told you we should stop.

none of what I said was true. you were always in the right. when we began to repair our friendship through vulture and turtle, we did our best. I remember the day you joined CoTV: it was the only thing I was active in, but seeing you join made my heart leap. I had no idea how to talk to you after I had messed up our friendship so sorely: after spending all my time checking your posts to make sure you were doing okay and were at least safe, you finally were in arms reach. I was so nervous to contact you in case you did not want to talk to me: but when you asked if we could headcanon our two dorky kids, I was gone back in full force. we took a while to talk about everything, to realize that I was wrong, and that deep down it was my fault it had happened. you helped me realize something I did not want to acknowledge.

after all that happened, we returned to one another after such a catastrophic event that would have ended any other friendship.

like true family, we always came back to each other: because family like that does not desert each other.

dave, we have been through thick and thin. you know that better than anyone: we have seen so many issues that could have completely stopped our friendship that I cannot even count them.

but you.....

you.

dealing with other people, or even with our relationship, you have always been there for me. you are always looking out for me: but everyone else, too. you are one of the most compassionate, kindest people I have ever been graced to meet. when I met eryn, you were the bar that I had set her to. you are the reason why I believe I deserve kindness, too. when someone is mean to you, somehow, you still treat them with respect and kindness. while you are my son, you are one of the biggest role models I could ever think of. you are willing to take such time out of your day to cheer up others, even if they are unwilling to do the same.

I remember someone telling me this bit about religion: in some religions, people will be kind and give their heart out because their god expects them to be kind in order to grant some entrance to heaven. some atheists, on the other hand, have no prerogative to be kind other than to just be kind. you are the latter; you are kind just to be kind. you expect nothing in return.

you have done so many countless things for both me and others that it would take so many hours, so many days to show and tell everything you do for everyone else. you go out of your way for everyone, and I personally am thankful and incredibly appreciative for that and of you. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of our years together- all of the hard work and dedication, and love, you put into everything, especially our relationship. I hope I am keeping up to par with your expectations, because with out a doubt, you are my best friend. there is not a time I knew you where I have not called you my best friend, because it has always rung true, even in your absence. you are one of the greatest, and truly, greatest people I know, and are an absolute joy to be friends with. I would never give that up for anyone else, or anything else. no one else has had the amount of laughs that you have had with me, or help me be as happy as I have. and not just for me- even just random people you talk to. you help others grow, and become better versions of yourself. you help them want to reach potentials they do not know is possible, because you did that for me. despite your own hardships, and how poorly treat you both IRL and online, you always try to bring out the best in others. you are incredibly forgiving, and incredibly tolerant. you have helped me with my issues, even when I thought you were the problem: someone who looked at my anger and treated it with utmost kindness and compassion, even when the anger was directed at you.


I would trust you with my life. I would both live and die for you easily. I know anyone who is a friend of yours would gladly take a bullet for you, without a doubt or second of hesitation needed.

because this is what it means to be your friend: this is what it means to have you be a friend. you are irreplaceable, and one of a kind. you are family.

I do not know what my life would have been like without you. I try not to think on that, because doing stuff with you or for you brightens the cloud that sometimes comes over my day. because of you, I am a changed person. I try to do better because I want to do better, for you and now for eryn.

I say all this because really, there are not enough words, nor proper words to convey this. there is not a letter anyone could write to explain how much you matter, to both me and everyone else, and that you deserve the world for all you do. you do everything in your power for others: hopefully, as time goes on, more people will start to do the same in return for you. for all the hard work you do for others expecting no return.

I love you, kiddo. I always will, no matter what happens. you will always be a part of my family, no matter what- including your kids and my grandkids, too.
