Where to even start -- gosh, okay
THERE'S SO MUCH TO SAY...

I can't believe I almost didn't join DH because I was uninspired and not confident in RPing?? And I'm so glad I did because DH did so much to my confidence, and everyone inDH is such an inspiration.

I've never been in a more supportive community than this and I can't thank everyone enough for creating such a warm environment! I haven't had the best time in my previous RP groups and I was honestly in a rut before I joined, thinking my characters were boring, thinking that my art's just not good enough to attract people and etc etc etc. DH helped change that mentality though, and I've learned so much!! From my writing, to my art, to myself as a person. I've learned to love my characters, to love myself and my art and people and to keep seeking improvement - I have everyone to thank for this. For including me in the group, for those late nights where we stay up talking about our characters, sharing character notes, ALL THE OPEN Qs ON TWITTER and roleplaying and so many thi ng ngsngn?!?!?

SO MANY THINGS HAVE HAPPENED THESE PAST TWO YEARS.

Looking back, DH has been the one constant in my life the past two years and I can never be grateful enough! The group started when I was about to graduate high school and it was honestly such a nerve wrecking time for me. During the course of the group I've moved countries and being away from home was really hard on me; I didn't have the easiest time adjusting. But DH honestly made everything easier, because every time I was homesick the group was always there for me and I GUESS... DH became a little like my home, because it was the thing I could always come back to: the people, the characters, everything. It would always be there and for that I'm so thankful!!

THANK YOU EVERYONE, FOR BEING HERE, FOR TALKING TO ME AND ENCOURAGING ME!!! Thank you for RPing with me, for memeing and for honestly everything. THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH A BRILLIANT GROUP OF PEOPLE, FOR BEING SO KIND and so funny, I will honestly miss waking up for the RPs, staying up 24hrs for the crazy events and etc. I'll miss being in my character's headspace, I'll miss coming up with relationships and dynamics and memes with everyone's characters. I'll miss a lot of things, but I look forward to seeing everyone around, and to seeing everyone keep growing as writers and artists and people!! After all, this is not the end this is just the beginning.

And as Fall Out Boy said,
I'd do it all again, I think you're my best friend(s).
I really, really do.

I CAN'T THANK EVERYONE ENOUGH, I LOVE YOU!!

jesus fuckign christ okay i dont know if my writing is going to be understandable here we go

I want to start off by saying that I do think DH has been the best community I've ever been in, because a lot of people in it care about each other - mainly out of RP and always prioritize that over anything else! I do think that, even without RPing (i.e. me HAHA), it's really comforting to see everyone that I've met in DH because it's a comfortable RP community and everyone is so talented and great and ilu all

It's been a few years and I'm so very grateful for the people that I've met in this group because I have been living a life of fishing and weaboos that this group is literally a saving grace, and it's always been a group that's aspired me to improve in many ways, be it art, writing or personality-wise.

I'm really happy for everyone who's been in this group and I'm happy that you guys have been a part of my life, with this group being a major aspect that I wholeheartedly appreciate!

Though DH has ended, I hope that I'll get to see everyone else again sometime (well obv twitter) and i HOPE YOU GUYS STAY POWERFUL POETIC MEMERS I LOVE U ALL !!!!

WRITING THIS IS GONNA BE A STRUGGLE, I’M NOT SURE IF I CAN FULLY CONVEY HOW MUCH THIS GROUP MEANS TO ME IN WORDS BUT I CAN! TRY!

I guess I can start off by saying DH has been one of the best highlights of my life for the past two years. DH has really pushed the envelope to what stories, roleplays, and characters could do--from HUGE, LONG groupwide sessions to fun, game-like dynamics and plotlines made by the users themselves, to just the simple idea that characters can DIE and be DEEPLY integrated to a plotline outside of basic backstory-- and how even those concepts evolve over time, and that’s just part of the reason that makes it so special to me.

If someone told me DH would be such an important part of my life after two years when I first joined I don’t think I would’ve believed them, but I’m glad that I would be wrong.

I GUESS? FIRST OF ALL? THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING SUCH GOOD FRIENDS TO ME. I really enjoy everyone’s company even if I don’t necessarily say much in chat, I love listening to everyone having a good time and memeing around. Everyone’s been really cool and encouraging and that means a lot. THANK YOU FOR RPING WITH ME, IF YOU’VE EVER RPED WITH ME I REALLY APPRECIATE IT BECAUSE I LOVE INTERACTING THROUGH CHARACTERS AND MAKING RELATIONS AND EXPLORING DYNAMICS, ESPECIALLY WITH THIS TALENTED GROUP. THANK YOU FOR LIKING EZRA AND SASHA AND YESUNG, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GIFT ART AND THE DRABBLES I NEED TO MAKE A SECOND FOLDER TO HOLD IT ALL IM SO

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE JOKES, KILL MY CHARACTER, SPEEDRUN OASIS WITH ME, please bless with UR lemon tree, socks over pants are good fashion, my characters will never get abs, pete wentz is a waker, THANK U FOR VEGAS-YAOI-GAKUEN, whAT TIME IS the neXT RP GONNA BE PLEASE ADD ME TO SPECTATE

DH IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME I’VE BEEN ABLE TO GROW SO MUCH AS AN ARTIST AND AS A WRITER, USING ROLEPLAY FODDER AS INSPIRATION ALONE, Saturdays were the brightest day of the week and I always looked forward to coming home and opening up the laptop and figuring out what chaos was going to ensue. DH was around during some hard and lonely parts of my life and I’m glad I had this little pocket of extremely busy bees buzzing together to help me feel a little better.

It’s! Making me a little sad knowing that I won’t have plot and canon dh rps to look forward to during Saturdays and that I won’t need to swim in these character’s headspace anymore or figure out the next appdate or flesh out character interactions, but I’ll always treasure this! I treasure the people I made here and the experiences I made, and I’m happy that it all happened. I’m so happy. I’m so grateful.

Thank you!!!! I love you all!! Good luck in all your future endeavors!!

I’m so happy we were able to find the end, and in that process we were able to find each other too.

JESUS CHRIST OKAY
It's currently 6 AM where I am, where I am suppose to be preparing for school but anyways moving on.

The years fly by so fast, don't they?

I remember first seeing this group and being mildly hesitant to join at first because, well, not many people I knew were joining! I was fickle, but in the end I took the chance and just, jumped right in.

Though looking back, I truly am grateful that I took that chance instead of letting it pass. I am deeply HONORED to have been accepted into this group, and letting the memories form. Goodness, I was able to meet so many people, so many FRIENDS that I've grown fond of and sit here admiring.

Starting out, I expected DH to be like other groups. You start out great, you fall out, burn out quickly. But now I can see that though there have been bumps in the road, the flame hadn't faltered a single bit, but continues to burn with a radiant light. Each and every one is so talented and DEDICATED to this group that it was honestly quite a sight to see.

My personal lack of activity and occasional "in and outs" of rps was due to my own feeling of misplacement. I have a lot of insecurities when it comes to belonging in a group, let alone fitting in. It's a habit but I try to hide myself, and when I feel like everything's drifting, I pull out. Actually, I'm very glad that I didn't choose to leave DH, but rather struggled to keep active no matter how my own lack of self confidence continued to gnaw at me. I'm glad I stayed, right until the very end! And hopefully, this choice I have made will continue to impact me in the future, to push forward and to take chances. No matter the struggle.

Death Hunters has been such a lovely community, and the people I have met will continue to be irreplaceable companions in my heart.

Thank you for the adventure, and best wishes to tomorrow!
Thank you, I love you!!

AND IN THE END

I'D DO IT ALL AGAIN

I THINK YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND

Here's my love letter to Death Hunters.

I am so so so grateful to have met each and everyone of you in this group. I never would have known I would ever find a place that I felt that I truly belonged. Especially not on the internet.

When I joined DH it was the same time I entered Uni- it was new beginnings for me all around and I finally got to focus on digital art more after a few years of little activity and I wanted to find an RP group that would motivate me.

Death Hunters is the only group I joined that summer that has lasted this long and throughout these two years I've grown so much- and I couldn't have done this on my own!! Thanks to everyone here continuously supporting me, and teaching me and INSPIRING ME (you are all so talented!!!!) that I got this far.

To be honest, when I entered Uni I felt really... disconnected from people. My RL friends were too far to meet and after a few months I had very little contact with them since I was in the middle of nowhere. I guess I really am very similar to Shuu... I have many many friends but I hardly talked to them. You guys were pretty much the people I've spoken to the most these past two years of my life, and not just because I don't go outside, it's because when I talk to you guys I feel so appreciated, you listen to my words, and I felt like you all genuinely care about.. me and each other.

I am so glad to have met such kind, talented and beautiful souls, to have been part of such a loving community. Even if Death Hunters is over, the true end is the friends we made along the way, and just like what the Author has enabled our characters to do--please keep on writing stories.

It's 'The End', but it's not over.

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING

(jfc this sounds so anime)

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!

HellO!!
Okay, that was a bad intro, sorry-
ANYWAY
WOAH
2 years- looking back, it seems like time went by so fast but thinking about it, so much has happened, huh?
I really regret that I wasn't able to contribute as much by the later half of DH, but watching all these stuff unfold, even though I wasn't really a part of it, I was excited nonetheless. DH was a wild ride!! And I feel SO SO SO honored to have been here!

The brief time that I was able to spend with DH, as I've mentioned in twitter-- I learned ALOT, DH made me try out new things that I probably wouldnt have tried on my own. I honestly look up to all of you here, you all inspire and motivate me to try even harder- to IMPROVE more and more.
Writing is my biggest weakness, and though I still can't do much, I can say that I've learned more about character development and writing through DH. It's my biggest regret also that I wasn't able to show what I've learned from everyone here, now that DH's ended.
However!! This is going to help me in the long run- and I would like to thank you guys for that.

I'm not sure I'll be able to join GF, but I really hope to still be able to talk to you guys, even for just a bit. You are all amazing!! And i feel honored to even KNOW you guys!! You are all my inspirations, and jesus god damn im so emotionaL

Best of luck to all of us!! Thank you SO much for everything!

I'M NOT GOOD AT SAYING GOODBYE THIS IS SO HARD FOR ME-

BUT... BREATHES OK HERE I GO...

ok I said here I go but WHAT DO I SAY??? OK To start off just thank you! Thank you for everything. This group means so much to me I don't think I can really probably convey that across in just a deviantart message but I guess here I go!

While I was one of the newest members and only have a year of this crazy video making, 24 hour art hells, and 12 hour rping under my belt I can hardly believe I finally have my Saturday nights free- I use to tell people straight up I could never do Saturday nights because of online things. It's going to be a little weird to not have DH on the back of my mind at least a few times a day now. Its going to be super weird to not have to think about how my characters are going to develop and react anymore. It's so surreal. THE END IS HERE.

But I guess all I can say is CONGRATS EVERYONE! WE FOUND THE END YOU'VE ALL WORKED SO HARD YOU'VE ALL COME SO FAR! THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE AND SUPPORT AND FRIENDSHIPS! THANK YOU FOR THE LAUGHS AND THE TEARS AND THE MEMES! THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME A COMMUNITY! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!! ITS BEEN A GOOD RUN AND I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT~
