I don't even know where to start or what to say, so this probably isn't going to be what you expected, but...

But how in the actual heck did you guys pull this off?! 20K IN SUCH A SHORT TIME?! Ladies and gentlemen, I just posted about hitting 10k not long ago, and you just keep giving me more and more. And no, I’m not complaining... I AM FREAKING ECSTATIC!

When I first started here, my biggest dream was to hit 10k. Back then, I thought that number was something I’d never reach, just a distant daydream. But you made it real. You’re literally making my inner child’s dream come true, the one who always wanted to write for others, even in a form like this. And the fact that you appreciate the work and heart I put into it... that’s genuinely the greatest gift I could ever get from you.

I might not always manage to reply to every comment, like every of them, or answer DMs as quickly as some might hope, but please know — I see you. I see the ones who’ve been here since the beginning and the ones who just recently jumped in to help build this amazing little community. Those who comment with emojis, dots, or who I’ve had the chance to get to know better, even chatting for a bit on Discord. I see you, and I am truly, truly grateful. Let me say it in my language too, so: “DZIĘKUJĘ WAM” (thank you). Thank you for giving me such a wonderful gift of your support and presence.

I don’t have a special bot ready or any grand surprise for this occasion, so I’m just hoping you don’t come for me with pitchforks lol. I’m really doing my best, and I’d rather write something honest than spend ages editing a super long post. And just cranking out bots quick and dirty to get something posted.

Now, a lot of you have been asking about when I’ll reopen commissions on my Ko-fi. I originally said they wouldn’t come back until next year, but since we hit this new milestone and you’ve been asking so much... they’re open again! And this time, I’ve also added a slot for OC commissions! There’s one spot open for an alt and one for an OC — first come, first served!

Also, I’m really hoping to wrap things up so I can publish Kaius for you all by Monday. He’s almost done, just needs a few tweaks, which I’ll get to after school. Right now, I need to chill for a bit because my heart’s beating like crazy from all this excitement lmao.

And don’t forget — you’re always welcome on my Discord or Telegram to keep building this awesome community together. We’re in this as a team, and I’m sending you all so much love and support, especially as the year winds down. Here’s to hoping we spend next year together too! xoxo
