it's my CS joinday

[Stargoon]

I don't really post to the forums anymore, and I only ever come back to check on events and the monthlies, and maybe rarely the pound but when I logged in to check something today I realized, it's been 13 years since I first got here. (I'm honestly hoping I'm even posting on the right board, the atmosphere has changed so much I feel a bit lost coming back.) This post is mostly just to commemorate that. I don't think I'll make another or reply, just sort of leave this here to look back on sometimes in the future if I go to check my post counts again. A little treat for future me.

It's crazy to think about. I was still a coppa player when I joined, now I'm an adult. I've transitioned, I have a queerplatonic housemate, two cats, and apartment. There's been so many changing faces and names, some I remember, some I don't, some who don't even play anymore because they are also adults with their own lives and outgrew the desire for pet collecting games and rps. I still miss some of my old friends who never came back, or I lost contact with because we just grew apart as people over those 13 years. The projects we never finished, the art we made, the adopts I never got around to finishing... oops? It's crazy to think that current coppa players weren't even here for as long as I've been a member. The years start coming and they really do not stop coming.

I still love cs, even if I'm not as active. So here's to (hopefully) another 13! 🖤🥂
