Lauren Faust - Love, Frist

Well, while I usually love doing this part,.. what more can I say?

I've already spilled my guts to you, Lauren, so you've already heard how I feel, but, I guess a reminder never hurts.

Not only did you take part in making my childhood awesome and entertaining, but you began my new outlook on life. Your vision and execution is like none I've ever experienced before. It could be that I've just gotten to know you much better than I know many others in the animation industry because you're so open about yourself, but hey, there's something to be said about that! You're the first one I saw take the chance! You've got grit, passion, and edge. And it just makes you so damn core.

I know you've probably heard 'em all, but it is what it is! Without MLP, I probably wouldn't be nearly as good of a person as I believe I am today. It's helped me realize that I'm the one "writing the story here", and I'll have the final say in defining who I am. It's helped me repair my relationship with my little brother, I've had the pleasure of meeting SO many amazing and talented people, made some of my FAVORITE cosplays to date, shed >real tears< for the first time in YEARS, I could go on and on, but at the end of the world, it's all thanks to your vision, your team, your dedication and hard work, and you deserve to know it not just today, but every day just how important, strong and influential you really are.

What you've given me, what you've given all of us. It's on a whole 'nother level.

And when I think about it, it's kinda like you've had my back from the start. For real, no joke! You'll get what I mean by that when you see THIS - frist44.deviantart.com/art/Hap...

I wish there was more I could give you to thank you, and that I was more able to make particular donations as we've been asked to on several occasion, but for now, this is the best I've got.

But yeah, this includes works by you or that you've been a part of that have left the biggest impressions on me.. I'm REALLY excited for Wander Over Yonder-I-can't-wait-to-watch-the-premier.. and here's hoping that you do in fact someday get Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls made into a series. I LOVE the character concepts and designs and I'm EAGER AS ALL GET-OUT to see them in action-I-Need-A-Pluto-Plushiiiie. I really want them to make it, because I know they can.

But yeah, happy mutual birthday to ya, and

I hope you get all of my

Platonics.

Because even though I'm turning 21 today, I'm sure as hell not gonna drink 'em.

..

That was the best-worst play-on-words joke I've made to date.

Love,

Your Faithful Brony,

Frist
