About CreatureUnknown... (Tanuki Tales)
a year ago
(I apologize in advance if this journal entry is a jumbled mess of thoughts)
June 10th was just a regular Saturday for me. Me and Flint were planning to go out to a card store in Jeffersonville. Only got like four hours of sleep, but I was just so excited to stretch my brain muscles for a long day of playing Magic the Gathering. But as I was walking out, Grinex stopped us for a minute to tell us the bad news.
I wasn't sure what I was feeling when I first heard the news of Tyler's passing. My lack of sleep and just the general strangeness of the whole situation didn't mix well with me. By instinct, I did the same thing that my father and his father before him did when they heard about bad news: I went on autopilot. I went about my day like nothing was going on. I was in my own world, trying to distract myself from the news.
After that day, we went to White Castle. We sat down and just... talked about Tyler. Well, I did. Flint just listened to me.
I was going through my second year of college. I was probably at the Ivy Tech campus in downtown Indianapolis, sitting in a corner of one of the many places students could sit down. I didn't do the smart thing and work on any assignments, I was just trying to flex my newfound freedom and escape my dull reality. So I was on FurAffinity instead, looking up the latest weird fetish things I was interested in. I don't remember which of Tyler's works I saw first, but I did run across him in my search. I made the first move and started chatting with him. Probably through Skype or something? I wasn't sure what I was thinking about, but I was doing my best to try to expand my friend group.
I'm not sure how I did it, but we hit it off pretty well. We talked occasionally through FA's comments and Skype. I even got a piece of art from him! Years after this, we could chat a lot about random things. He was just always there. He was there when I dropped out of college. He was there when I was hunting for jobs. He would shower me with gifts of art occasionally just out of the blue without warning and all of those really brightened up my mood.
Our relationship slowly turned into a working one once he was done with school. He was one of the first to draw my new Zangnuki form. He even drew me with sizable testicles! He didn't have to do that for me, but I'm really glad that he did. Of course once he started working on Smasher and the Will o' the Thiccs, I definitely wanted to make my mark. Flint was able to get me in as a character in the game you could play as and interact with in one of the levels. I definitely played his game a lot, trying to get high scores in everything and getting 100% in the game. After this, he would have these big YCH projects that I participated every chance I get. Every time I saw something done by him, I was elated and was usually a highlight of my day.
I actually got to meet him and Lexal once. We were in town for a Magic the Gathering event and we had dinner at a Thai restaurant near his place. I even wore a shirt he got me a long time ago.
But then I woke up on June 10th. And I got the news.
Tyler: if you can read this, I love you so much. I wish you were still here, chatting it up and talking about the progress of whatever crazy YCH project you were working on. I'm glad I met you and now everything just seems dark without you there to fall back on.
