THE GUY HIMSELF WHAAAT

If I get downvoted for my gushing/rambling, I DO NOT CARE!! I finally gathered the courage to post here and I am exercising my freedom as I see fit!!!

Honestly I don't think I'd be as attatched to Kaboodle -- or Gameoverse as a whole -- if it didn't release when it did. I had just turned 18 the month before it released. April 16th to be exact.

Yes, the pilot dropped May 15th, not 16th, but shhushh, let me have this.

This show was like. One of the first things I got into upon entering adulthood. And for once I had the technology to actually participate in the fandom when it started. Sure, the early fandom stages was pretty rough, and my participation was limited to tumblr, but I'm still happy I joined.

I've watched the pilot about 50 times now.... and I have it downloaded onto my phone...

May was also the same month of my highschool graduation. And around that time I was already fairly attatched to Kaboodle. I wore a fucking bracelet themed around him under my robe. And I was able to purchase the official pin and plush as a graduation gift -- WHILE THE PILOT SALE WAS GOING ON!!!

Something really cool about those was that they both shipped around really tough areas of my life. I got the shipping notification for my pin while I was having a weird meltdown after arguing with an ex abuser, and i made the joke being like "omg my husband is coming to save me lol" and i locked in IMMEDIATELY. The plush arrived while I was stressing over the results of my scholarship admissions and loans as well (spoiler, I got the fine arts scholarship)

Honestly having so much fondness and love for Kaboodle, as dumb as it sounds, sparked back up my creativity. I quit my addiction to AI chat bots over writing my own self insert OC and personal AU, which I'm still working on and I'd like to expand to animations someday. I picked up sewing again. I finally started using my button maker. I started actually taking care of myself.

And to think for the longest time I kept most of it to myself. But now it's all I really talk about lmao.

And I've received so much support for it as well. I've made so many new friends, I've received FANART -- not just art from art trades, but people DRAWING MY OC WITH KABOODLE JUST. ON THEIR OWN. I keep all the art I get in a binder. Right now, it's underneath my picture frame, controller, and microcassete player, and I have to take it out because I got MORE ART TO PRINT.

Becoming so open and exercising my free will of sharing my love for Kaboodle on my other socials and another subreddit of people LIKE ME has honestly made me the happiest I've been in a while. So much so that I consider Cyx to be an alter-ego, a secondary persona/mascot, rather than just an OC.

Honestly, I think Gameoverse has influenced me just as much as Pokémon has. And if you know me, you know I don't play about Pokémon.... If I could show off my collection without my post being ​tagged as off-topic, I would....

But yeah, I DEADASS never loved another character as much as I love Kaboodle. There is so much sentimental value that comes with this little fucker and, while I know I'm probably not crowned to be his biggest fan, I don't plan on stopping loving him anytime soon 🔥🔥🔥

This reminds me i need to post about my guy at some point. Im gonna make reference sheets soon trust. I mean. I have one for Cyx. But it's so chopped. I need to make a new oneee...
