HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMOE!!!
Now, if you guys know me, you know that I write a long paragraph for Tomoe every year her birthday comes along, and the tradition still hasn’t faded away. So that’s what I’m going to do this year!
Dear Tomoe,
I love you so much. Your personality and fiery spirit remind me to keep on going when times get tough. You’re such a mom friend when it comes to keeping Afterglow in check! Also, can I just mention that your passion for drumming is beyond levels of admirable? Heck, your little sister must be so happy to have you as a big sister, and I would be, too.
You’re really adorable when you’re embarrassed. I remember when I was watching all of the initial card introductions recently, and when Moca didn’t stop recording after Tomoe got flustered (bless you Moca) your face got really red! And it was HECKIN PRECIOUS. I could ramble on forever about that and I talk about you all of the time to my friends. Sometimes they ask me to be quiet, but I can’t. Yes I’m bi and stupid.
Deep down, you have such a mature mind filled with emotions and complexity that I can’t explain by just using words. You tend to jump to conclusions and yell at others, but it’s out of love. You only want the best for everyone that you know. That’s admirable. I’m a shy girl in a loud world, so thinking about how you can say what’s on your mind and still feel comfortable is astonishing to me.
That reminds me, last year’s letter mentioned about how you helped my social anxiety; you still do, actually! When I get anxious all I have to do is go on BanG Dream and listen to your relaxing voice. A smile creeps on my face and I feel filled with energy. No other anime character (or anyone, for that matter) has ever made me feel THAT much of a boost in a long time. So I want to thank you for all you’ve helped me through. I hope you are doing well.
And yes, Tomoe is proof that god is a woman.
