happy birthday, darren! ♥

You're hot, you're talented, you've got an awesome boyfriend and cool friends, and you actually have a pretty decent life outside of the site -- and in all honestly? You really don't belong here & you're just rubbing your perfection in all of our faces at this point. I, myself, take this as a personal attack and have privately sent you a message expressing my hurt and devastation. I expect one of your infamous one-word replies in return. Probably 'cool.' Though I fear you'll just say 'milky.'

( Catch me throwing a #2013 fit over you being prettier than me.
Who's shocked? Anyone? That's fair. )

And I know that I usually write four paragraphs of praise during your birthday and wax poetic like nobody's business, but not today. At least not quite. All I have to say is that I'm so grateful for our friendship; you're my #1 and I'd be lost without you. You mean the world to me, and you've taught me so much and helped me to feel secure within myself. I can't thank you enough, and I can't even put into words how special you are. You're a fucking mess, you drive me crazy by being such a hateful rat, but you're the best kind of insufferable.

You're like... my own personal brand of heroin.

Also,
tried and true.
I just feel very easily.
Take nary a prisoner!
I miss you.
Did you do cocaine?

That was just enough to ruin your day, right? A gift from a true best friend.
Now go read all of the below praise & enjoy yourself. We love ya!

Sometimes I'm like damn I wish I was in closer contact with dars and then POW! there's a new snapchat group and you're shading your friends... in another group... accidentally. So basically I'm a bystander for your shade. Maybe I could hold the parasol for you? I'm here for it, especially since it's been an AGE since we allied together!!! Always love writing with you, thank you for the plot development and the GORGEOUS tables and I miss you. Happy birthday, hope it is an ounce as wonderful as you are.

Windy;
Darren, you lovely human bean, HOW THE FUCK COULD YOU THINK I WOULD FORGET YOU?? You're so so funny, and getting to talk to you again and insta you twice in a row has been really great and I just love you a lot. Bless.

Alex;

Kousei;
He's okay.
I joke, he's an excellent writer and a handsome devil who never fails to make me laugh the few times he DOESN'T leave me on read. I love his weak attempts at being British too LOL.

Kaplan
Omg so, Dars, we don't know each other all that well, but I'd really like to change that. You need to have the happiest birthday and then come message me so that we can chat and thread and SHIP! Have an amazing day!

Ryan, your mother;
