#flicker warning

@houseofhyde — hydesso!!! you’re the literal, walking definition of the word cool. your ideas are genuinely out of this world. every time i see you typing in chat, i already start giggling because i know the funniest joke imaginable is about to appear, and you never disappoint. thank you for always making me laugh and for being such an incredible friend.

@epiphanyrogers — mads! we haven’t known each other for very long, but you’re one of the kindest people i’ve met on here. you spread sunshine everywhere you go. your steve fics are absolutely delicious, and i’m not even that into him… i think that says a lot.

@superbassbuck — super b ass… where do i even start with you… you’re literally the reason i’m making this post in the first place, because without you, i would’ve never met all these amazing people. so thank you for that. i love your sense of humour, even if you’re such an unc /j. i also love how you somehow manage to make bucky the biggest loser on the planet, yet i still read every fic you write with so much interest, and find myself with panties much wetter than before!!! (who said that???) your fics are always so fun, and entertaining. i don’t think i’ll ever get tired of them.

@tw1sters — sammy!!! i still remember when we first started talking, and i was like, “damn… she’s pretty cool…”, and i somehow knew right away you were going to be such a joy to talk to, and guess what… heh…i wasn’t wrong. you’re literally the human version of a calico critter — you have this incredibly gentle, cozy energy that makes everyone around you feel comfortable. love ya.

@iamthatonefangirl — BRIIIII…oh, my beloved bri… what would i even do without you??? you’ve been here with me since day one, and even before because you’re the reason i started writing. i am so grateful for that, and for having you in my life. you’re literally my twin, and i love you so so much. the words are not able to describe it, but i think you know how much i adore you. your miss possessive fic was such a blessing to this app, and so was every other fic you’ve written like uncle!bucky, rewind (that i’m still mentally recovering from to this day), and fill the void (i know that fic is your baby, rightfully so). i know one day, i’ll be determined enough to split the ocean in half like moses just to give you a real hug. i love you.

@heldbybarnes — kenny, i absolutely fell in love with your blog from the moment i saw it, and i’ve been a fan ever since. your fics genuinely keep me going through the day, and i always love seeing them pop up on my feed. you’re also so funny, and i hope you never go bald because that would be a tragic loss to this world. please keep sending all the gifs and reaction pics that make me wheeze-laugh every time. mwah. 🤍

@wildflowersandvibranium — sweet isla, you’re such a bundle of positivity. you’re the most wholesome person ever. your fics always make me tear up from overwhelming happiness because they’re the cutest thing on here. please never stop writing them. this is exactly what this fandom needs. thank you for creating the space with pauline, where i could meet all these gorgeous writers.

@firingstars — princess, thank you for always being so reasonable, and for being the brain of the entire whirlwind that bwa is. you’re so cute i just want to hug you, and squeeze you so hard, and i don’t know if that makes sense but i’m feeling cuteness aggression towards you… i hope this doesn’t sound weird… i’m not a creep, i swear…… anyways!! you’re so talented, and whimsical, and your fics genuinely make my jaw drop to the floor. thank you for giving birth to that mob!bucky fic for me. heh. i’m the father.

@54nboo — erin of jarc… if everyone in this world had your humor, it would genuinely be a better place. i don’t even know how you come up with half the things you say, but i’m here for it. you make me giggle like crazy. you’re the funniest person EVER… like the funniest. i hope that hoard of minions i sent you will appear at your doorway soon, because that’s what you deserve. and on top of that, you’re an absolute genius writer and seriously one of a kind. love you.

@flockoff-featherface — roe!! oh god, roe, you’ve been so kind, and open towards me from the very beginning, and i’m seriously so thankful for that. you’re such a supportive friend, and you always know exactly what to say to make someone feel better — you have no idea how much that means. please never change, because you’re perfect the way you are. thank you for playing dbd with me on my birthday, and for teaching me stardew valley. i love you. 🤍

@chateaubarnes — aluri!! aluri, you are so fun to talk to, and you have incredible ideas, that sometimes i genuinely wish i had your brain. you’re so precious, i want to hide you in my pocket and keep you there forever. does that make sense??? well, my point is — you’re an incredible human being, and i hope you know that too. you’re always so attentive in every conversation we have, and i know you listen. and not only that, but you genuinely care about the people around you, and that’s rare. thank you for everything.

@blowingbarnes — fran! the one whose ideas, and writing make me feel things i probably shouldn’t be feeling!!! ifykyk… heh. you’re so freaking creative, and i can’t even count how many times i’ve gasped at your prompts, and everything else. like girl, how do you come up with these??? how does your brain store it all??? i’m genuinely so impressed by you, and i want you to know that. 🤍

thanks everyone for wanting to be a part of my birthday edit, even though you had no idea what you’re signing up for + here’s a few others that i’d love to mention…

@pinksplace — the owner of place that is pink! the ray of sunshine herself!!! the queen of cuteness, and all!! pinky, you are genuinely one of the best people i’ve met on here. you’re so sweet, and you have the vibes that make people just be around you. i love you so much.

@earthsmightiestbenders — claire!! i hope you’re doing well, pookie, and even though we barely really talk, i’m so glad i’ve met you. i was so happy when i could write a secret santa fic for you, because you’re genuinely such a nice person, and you never fail to amaze me with your jokes (or that gif… i always laugh when it’s sent in the chat).

@spdrveil — veil… the cool kid… you’re so damn cool… do you know that you’re cool? damn, i hope you know you’re cool… heh… but seriously, you’re SO freaking awesome, girl. talking to you is such a pleasure, and i love all your jokes.

@danysdaughter — hey, so… i feel like a fan saying this, but that’s probably because i am a fan. your fics are out of this world, and you’re one of my favorite writers on here. thank you for publishing your work + i aspire to have the ability to always find the most appropriate, and the funniest reaction pics like you do. mwah.

@artficlly — such a creative soul, and i’m so impressed by it. i love your graphics, and thank you for sharing those with us because that is genuinely a blessing. never stop… never!!!

@its-in-the-woods — krys!! this is incredible, because you’re literally one of my first followers, and i want to thank you so much for being on this tumblr journey with me. i’m glad i got to know you better, because you’re so amazing. i love you.

@unificsation — PINGU!!! god, uni, i love you so much, and you’re literally one of the best people ever……. your congressman!bucky fic is living rent free in my head, and your graphics make me kick my feet, because you’re so talented… spare some, i beg. ily.

love you all!! and happy birthday to me, i guess!! thanks, paulie for creating the 2nd image… i lol’ed.
