❤ Soft: You have been a great friend over the years having great talks and making great adopts you have been the best. Timezones have been difficult to navigate over these last year but you still remain one of my oldest friends in the Bear Run Community. You made my first ever breeding and have helped to create my spotted bumm army, and for that I give you the biggest squish ever. Much love, heyhey ^_^
iStarz: I have always admired your ability to throw yourself into comps, you make some of the prettiest forms and it's no wonder that you have some of the prettiest tolts in the community. Honestly you inspire me to do more during impress me comps because trying to beat you is honestly extra difficult. Keep up the amazing job, heyhey ^_^
Khans: You helped me and were there for me during a rather difficult time in my life and for that I am eternally grateful. Your tolters which I may be hoarding... have always been some of the most beautiful, with your unique ability to make everything shiny and to create such stunning coats I was always drawn to your creations and was always so happy when you would take a breeding from me because I knew I was gonna get a pretty adorable foal. All in All thank you for being such an amazing human being and friend K. Much love, heyhey ❤
CowgirlChrista: We have been friends and more for many years and I know that we don't talk all the time but every time we do I am happy that it's so easy to just pick up where we left off. Thank you for being there and making me laugh and smile your awesome and please always remember that. Always here when you need me, Heyhey <3

Twitchy: Oh twitchy, you absolute doll. You sweet lil bean. Everything you do seems to bring me joy. Your designs are perfection and your disposition even more so. You’ve helped me manage my mental health issues without judgement and I think that it’s thanks to you I was more open to going on medication. I love chatting with you and sending you pretty horses and such...
Stumpy: Lordie I cannot voice how overjoyed I am at the fact that you are the BR owner now, (I know I’ve congratulated you before, but CONGRATS!) and I think you’re absolutely perfect for the job. You’re a great friend, and honestly I’m really happy that we’ve been able to bond so much over ball pythons. It’s fabulous
Naumanchy: We don’t really know each other, and you’re kinda a ghost artist, but I need you to know that those designs you make are fantabulous. Your art skills are just about godlike, and that’s being conservative.
dragon: You. You were one of the people who poked me into asking my girlfriend out back in 2016, and what do you know? She said yes. Without your encouragement, I don’t think I’ll have ever gotten into the fantastic, healthy relationship I’m in now. You have no idea how grateful I am to you for helping give me the kick in the rump I needed.
Khans: You aren’t active here in tolts anymore, and we don’t really chat anymore, but I really appreciate all you’ve given me in our time as friends. It was unbelievably fun to salt with you, and I loved seeing your horses and hearing about the drama at your school. Back when you were still an artist, your designs were absolutely magical. That shine tho. You’re still an art god. It absolutely blows my mind how you manage to do that with a mouse/trackpad. Holy heckle
Crumpled: Again, we don’t really know each other personally. But, you’re one of my favorite artists. You’re very skilled and make such clean, colorful designs. I also ADORE hearing about your tarantulas, Eden and Cuddles. They’re both so dang cute and fuzzy! I really hope to get to know you better, because you seem so very lovely <3

wrong, I love my dapples, and that honestly
tops them off.

Ok, I say amazing, because our art always outstands

one that i'm crazy about, and i'm sure Vin is also!

your coats, to your lines, to your names and etc.
I love all your work, and I love how you put so
much effort into each tolt, giving each such a
lively look to them. It's like you make them
come to life!! I have a couple faves of your'se
which one day, might lay into my arms, as
my first tolts. I favor all equines, with stories
behind their lives. I have always wanted a horse
irl, and I've always wanted to rescue one, and
these tolts you have created, fall under
that category. Your one eyed, seal bay tobiano,
and your Skinny binny flaxen red roan. They have
to be my faves of all time of yours!

Vinson: I remember you were one of the first people to welcome me into the community! You also gifted my second Tolter to me, Athena, which I am always grateful for! Whenever I see you online and talk, you're always so understanding and friendly! Your designs for Tolters have always been beautiful and I always love seeing what's in store!

Butter Dragon: You were also one of the first people in Bear Run to greet me and helped me start up my Tolter collection! You gifted Carolina to me, officially making her my very first Tolter! Although I did not get to know you very well, I've always been very grateful for what you did!

Ariana Black: You are always willing to talk and you're always super friendly! Whenever I talk to you, you're always friendly and I enjoy talking to you! Knowing you in this community is great, and being able to talk to you and get to know you is great!

@Place
You mean a hell of a lot to me. We grew close in a not so great part of my life, and yet you stuck close through it, willing to weather all sorts of nonsense to become my friend. To this day, I'm still not sure why you did it, but I wouldn't trade you for the world. You're one of the constant reassuring presences in my life, and I'm not ashamed to say I'd do absolutely anything for you. You're always there to offer a shoulder to cry on, or some absurd humor to lighten a situation. You're my go-to person to sound out ideas or hash out problems and are always willing to offer a different take on them and make me think. You always know how to make me laugh appropriate for being the Kakashi to my Iruka you nerd and I've picked up so much of your humor and quirks it's a wonder we're even two separate people at this point. You're unironically, one of the lights of my life and I always know that even if we spend a week or so with little contact because we're both busy we can just fall back into a conversation from where we left off like we had been interacting all along. You keep me mellow, and I can't think of a greater honor than being your friend and having known you.

@Dia.
We became friends through a mutual one, and honestly, it didn't take long before it felt like we had been friends all along. We share so many of the same interests, and it's always fun to talk about anything from plants to our shared interest in science or how much of a pain science majors are to be in. It's always easy to laugh with you, and just as easily turn around and have a conversation about a difficult topic. After spending so long being the friend many came to for advice, it's so relieving to be able to turn to someone else for advice, and it's always good advice. You're always willing to let me know when I'm getting too in my head, which is always to my benefit. I've always been honored that you've put so much trust in me to help with Rise, knowing it was your baby and you hardly knew me at first and was just going off or someone else's word. I haven't known you as long as some of my friends but I definitely wouldn't change a moment of it.

@Serge
You're one of oldest friends and even though we haven't always stayed in contact I know we can pick up a conversation easily. We've had our ups and downs over the years, and I think it's a testament that we're able to remain friends after all of it. It means a lot to me that you trust me enough to ask my advice, and are just as willing to give it in return. I know you've had it rough recently, and I always have you in the back of my mind, wondering if you're good on quiet days. I'm always relieved to hear from you, and always glad to have you back in the mix when you pop in. You're one of the people I'd always do anything for, even in the times we drift apart.

@Leaf
You've been in my peripheral nearly the entire time I've been on CS. I remember being new to the site and seeing you around the colored in board, running design shops and breeding centers. I always loved your designs, and always looked forward to seeing them when I got on. You were always an inspiration to the young designer in me, and I always wanted to grow and become as good as a designer as you were. I always viewed you in a quiet light of idolization, wanting to reach your level. When you came around and joined one of the species I worked for I was excited to finally get to meet you, and maybe know you a little bit, and was not disappointed. Even now, knowing you better than I did, I still love and look up to your designs.

@Ten
I didn't know you besides seeing you on the artboards every once in a while until you joined Rise. I remember watching your entries, and being excited when you finally joined us on the team. In the little time I've known you, I've come to love your designs, even owning a few, and appreciating you as a friend. your hard work is something I admire and hope to achieve, and your dedication to your work is beyond commendable.

@amny
You're a bit of an idol for me, because your designs are always so stunning. It's like you have magic fingers or something when you pick up your utensil! I'd try out for every one of your designs if I could! I just lack the time, unfortunately. Not to mention the fact that your so nice and easy to talk too. I mean, I know it's easy to talk to anyone in the community. I just don't do well in large groups and struggle keeping in contact with everyone all the time. However I know that whoever gets this adopt will be suberbly lucky to have such a magical tolt in their stables. You really out did yourself on this one <3
@sil
Ahh you're another person I look up to because your so successful! You're apart of more than one adopt as an artist and that is something I've always envied. I really hope to be artist for an adopt someday. And even being in a steam with you and @amny give me a lotta confidence to be able to do so. Plus I really love how you draw brindle on your designs!! And on top of that you are so generous and kind, it's unreal. I literally have never met a person as kind and generous as you are! The old sai file I had on my laptop wasn't working, but then bam! Outta no where you sent me a link to a different SAI paint file, and it's working perfectly on my laptop.
@place
Okay, I admit I have a lot of people I idolize... But place, you inspire me to be a better artist. Not in the sense of designing, but actually sketching and drawing. I love how your style is like a cross from realistic and non, you majorly inspire me to get better at felines and canines. And then also, it's great just having somebody to talk too. Mostly it's just character development, but sometimes it's about some personal stuff. You give a new perspective that helps me better understand my situation, and I don't have many people that I chat to about it with. And I know we don't talk too much when we do talk, but you're a great friend. I'm thrilled to see you've joined the brt community! So if you ever need anything, I'm here for you my dude <3
@neah
Weep. I had no idea you've changed your username to just 'Neah' nor did I know that you were apart of the brt community. Both a lovely surprise might I add. It saddens me that we don't get to talk as much as we use to, because you've never failed to make me laugh with your stories. However I always find it easy to jump into a conversation and do a little bit of catching up, which is 100% always a great treat. And let's not forget your wise advice, and amazing character development skills. I mean, I just always find myself falling in love with some of your characters and their concepts. But there is also your ability to keep the scs adopt running, which I envy you for. It's a lot of work and it constantly makes me wonder how you do it. But then again, you're also an amazing person. Even to those you may not like too much, you're still able to be polite. So you know, I'm here if you ever need me for anything. All you got to do is reach out <3
@bearded
My old but not so old friend! I know we haven't talked in awhile, but I haven't forgotten about you and your sweet geckos. I remember how I'd join your streams, and half the time we'd be watching gecko videos on YouTube. Those were some great laughs. Plus the time you showed me what 'blep' was. All my reptile knowledge comes from you and I'm very grateful for it. Some reptiles are so freaking adorable, and you were always there for a good laugh and company. We ought to do it again sometime soon.
@soft
Ahh another idol!! Your designs always have a soft or light aspect to them that I just adore. I'm always a person who leans towards the more softer or colourful adopts. On the occasion I'll go for a more dark bab, but what I'm trying to say is that your adopts always draw me in. I'd kill to know your techniques for creating such magnificent children. Kudos to you and your art skills. Seriously, I know how people say there's always room for improvement, but when I see your designs I only see perfection. People can't just learn how to art, they have to have the imagination and talent for it. You have both <3 Though I may sound like overkill now, but it's true. I swear it.
@vin
I have always honestly viewed you as the popular kid in the crowd, but your the super nice and approachable one. I envy how you were able to run an adopt by yourself, and I hope someday soon I'll be able to do it as well. For the buttermilks though, I'm glad they were able to go to you because you have the abilities I currently lack for running an adopt. And also your designs are to die for. I really wish I could draw horses as awesomely as you do too. You're freaking amazingly talented!!
@crumpled
Okay, the brt has amazing artists and you of course are one of them! I know my first tolt with hair edits was an ru from an adopt you did, and I love her to bits! I did a lot of mental table flips when I saw that I got an ru, boy oh boy it was very exciting!! I also wish I could design sabino like you do. I love the sabino gene, but I can be a bit picky with how it looks. Never told anyone that before, but whatever technique you use oughta be the right one. Jk jk, I know there's no right way to design a horse coat and no one should change their art style cause I said that. Ya'll are unique for your own different designing styles. But what can I say? I admire your work.
@paradise,
I don't think we ever had a direct conversation before, but I know I've seen you around as in artist for the westrossa mustangs and now the tolters as well. I'm so happy to be able to see more of your designs because again, surprise, I completely adore your art. Especially your appys. I don't know how you do it, but your appy designs never fail to amaze me!! It's also another gene I can be picky about with looks, but you get it spot on for my tastes. Haha get it?
@vinson
I know we don't talk a whole lot, but we do have 3 or 4 tolts that are mates together. And I just wanted to say that I love how they each have a little bit of development of each couple. I'd love to do some more development between them, but only if you wanted to. I'm also getting off track here. The point is, those 3-4 tolts are some of the tolts I have a strong bond with due to the developing. I haven't been able to do a whole lot of developing in my tolts lately, so just thank you for being there and developing their relationships with me!
@grapejuice
I know things are busy for you at the moment but I wanted you to know that you're a very kind person and to never stop being you! We may not interact a whole bunch, but when we do it's always nothing but kindness and understanding. Thanks to you giving me a breeding slot from one of your chim babes, I may be able to finally get my own chim. If the rolls allow it! Plus I hope to be able to work out some relationships between our tolts, I just need to remember to respond to my pms... Oops.
@tendency
I also idolize your art work and designing. I saw the stuff you did for the HG's and I wanted to steal away all the gypsies!! Though I also wanted to steal away all the tolts you did when you were a guest artist. I don't know I just wanna steal away all your designs!! There's just so much life in it. I don't really know how else to put it! I even fall head over heels for the solid babs you do because even those are special in their own way. I say it like that because it's not very often I find myself in love with a solid babe.
@ty
Okay okay this is my last idol I promise. It's just that so many artists have different styles and I love them all! And for ty, it's everything. The way you can make highlights shine and shimmer, some times even glitter! And I've seen you do different styles, working with a pale medium or an edgy one, and then doing a very vibrant one! It's amazing to see what you're able to come up with. And even when the coat is solid, you can see that you still put your maximum effort into it! And some times those are the best. You yourself are considerable and caring! I remember there was a mustang breeding you did for me, but I wanted Medicine Hat Tobiano. You couldn't do it because the genes didn't work like that. I didn't know this at the time but you added some Medicine Hat Tobiano aspects to the breeding even though it wasn't Medicine Hat. That breeding you did is one of my most cherished mustangs <3
@half tree, dream, husky, fawn
You guys are incredible and beautiful people!! Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise! I just don't have enough time in the day to write you each a compliment. If I have time before the adopt is over, I certainly will. But just so you know you are all appreciated and loved as well as everyone else I've mentioned. If it wasn't for half tree taking over the tolters, who knows what would happen to the adopt? If it weren't for the artists creating beautiful adopts then this adopt would not be as successful as it is. And fawn, the archivist, has a truly difficult job. I know because I've tried. So kudos to you to!
