Thank you ❤️

Hi! I was pointed to your tumblr by a few folks and I just wanted to thank you for your thoughtfulness in writing about and interacting with the LiS games and the community. I love how you engage with others and their comments, and it shows what a curious mind and kind heart is at work. It is such an honor to have made a game you love and to have brought to life a character to whom you can relate. Thank you for what you put out into the world (we need more of this kind of passion), I hope you never stop. -Erika

No way. No fucking way. First off, THANK YOU. I am utterly starstruck. You’re thanking ME?? And calling it an honor to have made a game that I love?? I should be thanking you!! The asks I’ve received showed me how many people from all walks of life found something in Alex that helped them feel seen and less alone, so from me and the rest of the LiS community, THANK YOU!!!
I can’t really say much more about your performance that I haven’t said already, but it really did grab me from the start and it was all I could think about after I finished the game. I hope you know just how much Alex means to so many fans, especially during a pandemic. And your engagement with D9 and fans really does have such a huge reach— your interviews with Webb and SE made me smile and laugh even on my bad days. I’ve admired from afar how well-spoken, kind, and funny(!!!) you are, and I can’t believe I can finally say it to you directly! I’m so happy you got the opportunity to bring Alex to life and were nominated for those awards because I can’t think of anyone better for the part!
I never could have anticipated that my random commentary on True Colors could have such an impact and stretch as far as D9! I can’t thank you enough for the encouragement and for taking the time to send such a heartfelt message. I promise I will never stop! :)
This is hands-down the best birthday gift I could’ve ever gotten. Thank you times a million!

what if we were paralleled with the moon and ocean spirits and you were possessed by the vengeful ocean spirit in rage over the loss of his moon equivalent and i represented the moon equivalent and only my words could bring your soul back to this world before it was consumed forever? what if you were lost in your own rage, shame, and grief over failing the world but my voice - my whispers - echoed through everything and my pleas were enough to bring you out of the avatar state? what if you felt like you couldn’t be the avatar around me because you were too worried about the thought of losing me, just like your past life had lost the one they loved the most; but in the end my words - “i need you” - were what brought you away from your pain and grief and anger and allowed you to embrace your role as the avatar? what if you learned that you didn’t have to choose between love and duty but that love - my love specifically - could help you with your duty of saving the world?
