Top!

Great idea! Okay, Gared, if you ever read these comments I hope it'll at least settle your frustration, if not bring you back here.

So where to start... Ah, yes. Brilliant - the Boarding School RP. I think I've told you this a billion times, Gared, but that was The. Best. thing I have ever written or participated in. The conflict, the whole twist into a wicked story, the depth of the characters and the insanity presented. I think even Admin had to delete parts because it got too violent! It was amazing. I really appreciated you letting me be Thomas, for he was a stunning character. I thought the whole thing was amazing, and I am telling you, go write it into a book and publish that thing! If you won't then I'll do it xD

Second, Gared, you are a fantastic, fantastic person. You are a geek if I ever knew one when it comes to Shakespeare, snails, and music. You are beyond the limits of creativity, with a dash of your own personalized humor and insane and great dialect of talking (as are all humans, mind you). You are kind, intelligent, dedicated to your beliefs, and bursting with so many ideas I can never keep track. It has been an honor knowing you *bows*.

Finally, your AEs are fantastic. At one point there were so many that I lost count, but when it finally got narrowed down to... three? I think. It was fantastic. Like I always say, DJ Bowtie was my favorite out of them all. His personality was so amazing - kind, funny, yet really had this own in-depth style of his own. Brilliant. And of course, that all leads back to the CBer. So Gared, while you might not choose to come back (because I have no doubt you'll read all these comments :D) DO know that you were and still are beyond appreciated on the CB. 

If it means bringing change as you asked, for goodness sake, we will bring change! That's all I have to say before my whole post becomes a very long, long, rant about snails. xD

In short, you are brilliant, so stay that way! Don't let the world ever bring you down, my friend.

I mostly only know him from Kyngdom, but he's an amazing writer, always driving the plot forward, no matter what role he's playing.

Gared, you always liven up the CB. You make my day. You can always joke
and you speak up for what you believe - which is something that some
people are afraid to do. It's something that I value greatly. - You make
us all smile. You are a wonderful person, you are always helping other people and brightening up the CB. 

Your writing is amazing! I LOVE your characters. I didn't get to be in any of your RPs but I've seen you write and I've seen the way you develop characters. You are AWESOME at characters! I LOVE DJ Bowtie! He is SO very funny and kind and well...he acts like a CBer himself. He seems like his own person, he is a lot like you, but different...if that makes sense? 

In short, Gared...you are amazing, awesome, thoughtful, funny, shimmering with love and life...you are who you are Gared and no one and nothing can change that. Not wars, not other CBers, not people. YOU might change who you are...but others can not and will not. Please Gared, I beg you, read this and smile. 

We love you Gared. 

Please...be at peace? 

Love, from the bottom of my heart,

~Silver 

Gared, you are special. And that's the only word that fits. Please dont ever change.

And WOW does this kid have courage! Here's another for Gared:

"Kindness and a generous spirit go a long way. And a sense of humor. It's like medicine - very healing" ~ Max Irons

Because as we all know, not only does this spectacular person have courage, he has generosity, kindness, and a great sense of humor. So KUDOS to Gared! 

Gared, you were so brave to make DJ Bowtie the way you made him. I was considering doing something like that, but as soon as I felt some resistance to it, I backed down. You never backed down, and you played a huge role in making the CB a more accepting place.

I also loved your portrayal of yourself as a crazed, caffeine-high child genius who loves to eat crepes on that solo write you did. That was great. 

Your interest in Magic: The Gathering really spread to me. Watching you post about it so much made me wonder about it, and when I finally encountered some new friends who could explain it to me I was so relieved and gratified. 

Gared, I would really like it if you came back. 

Let's see, where to start...

I did not make the best first impression on you, because I joined the Boarding School RP and then quit halfway through. I don't know you very well because I don't go on Inkwell very much anymore and I'm not involved in AE drama at all, but I know you for being one of the people who started trying to making changes involving LGBT+ rights on the CB, never backing down, and always being so down to earth and mature about everything :) Thanks for the music recommendations, awesome writing and ideas, and your presence on the CB. We'll miss you.

Gared, it was completely your decision to leave. I support it, I understand it, I forgive it, and most of all, though I should not, I know that I regret it. Again, it was your choice. And because you are Gared, the one hundred percent fantastic Gared, I respect it and think that it must be the right one. 

I am going to miss you, your wonderful, beautiful characters, and all your amazing ideas. You may not know it, but I am here today because of you. Elliot. The ageless vampire king of my city in the sky. You welcomed me when I first stumbled into Kyngdom, just a small young girl looking for a place and a family. You became my friend in what was then, and is slowly returning to, a dark world. I was a 10 year old girl running from monsters, and the king took me in. 

Gared, you have a way with words. You can bend them to whatever you want them to say, and it will sound purely beautiful. SailHaven. Who could have made that up but you? Gared the Wordsmith.

If you do come back, I want you to read this. To know that you are loved, and that it hurts when a loved one leaves. We are going to miss you with the whole of our beings.  

In the words of Ronan Damocles:

That Gared. He's a wonder. 

I promise you he'll see this soon! Let's keep on writing!
