Happy Thneedmas, @thisbootyasstown
Alright, so… I’m actually quite embarrassed that this drawing took longer than expected. Even though I’ve been working on it since MINUTE ZEROooOO! :<
We don’t know each other and we’ve never spoken directly, but I’ve been quietly following you ever since I found out you were my secret friend in this event. I should say that you seem like a very pleasant person to interact with, and I’m really happy that I got to be your secret friend this time. 😄
The answer you gave me to the anonymous question I asked made me notice something that I found very special: your long journey within this fandom! From the way you told me a bit about your history in the Lorax fandom and your interests, I could sense a genuine love for all of this. You have no idea how excited I was reading your response! TvT💕
I’m just about to reach 5 years in this fandom, but I already have very vivid memories of all the experiences, emotions, and friends I’ve made during this time. I can’t imagine what it must be like for you, having more than double the time I’ve spent here. I can’t help but picture all the fun and memories you must have from those years, along with blogs, AUs, OCs, and the creativity of this beautiful space in general. After all, that’s what we mostly take with us from the experience of being in the Lorax fandom! (ToT)✨
I like to think that each member of the fandom is an important piece of what we’ve been for such a long time; and I hope we continue to preserve this sense of unity and companionship through activities like these, which somehow always bring us closer, so we can keep existing for MANYYY more years to come. 🌟:")
I hope you had a calm and comforting Christmas and New Year, surrounded by the people who are important to you. And for this 2026, I sincerely hope life treats you kindly, and that I personally get to keep sharing this community with you for a long time.
I may have already been in the fandom for a couple of years, but I had never participated in Thneedmas before, and I hope I fulfilled this mission well. I wanted your gift to live up to the respect and admiration that your presence here inspired in me, and I once again apologize for making you wait so long. 🥹
With my very best wishes! ✨
From a secret friend, but also as a sincere gesture to you as a person. 🎅🌟
I wanted to recreate a Christmas ornament with three scenes.
✍️- I included a classic The Once-ler because it's central to the entire fandom, and also the basis for most of the variations you love so much.
✍️- I wanted to add something from Truffula Flu, one of your favorite AUs, as you mentioned.
✍️- Finally, I wanted to portray one of your OCs to give a small representation of you in my art, accompanied by metaphorical silhouettes of the people and good times you should see happening here.
All the drawings are inspired by a Seussian style to give it a warm and traditional touch, which I hope looks presentable, even if the quality decreases when uploaded! :33
Don't hesitate to request your gift by email or any other means you prefer, and I'll resend it to you!!! 😋💗
