Happy birthday, Rui! (art and merch showcase)
Today is June 24th, which is Rui's birthday! To celebrate, I made an artwork, spread out most of my Rui merch, and pulled on his birthday banner. I got his 2026 birthday card in 30 pulls, I am SO SO GRATEFUL <333
I've been a fan (and yumeshipper/selfshipper) of his for 5+ years. There are countless things I like about him, but what means the most to me is his personality and story. His kindness and enthusiasm for his interests are always so heartwarming to see, and I hope I can one day be as amazing and intelligent as he is. He motivates me to become the best version of myself every day, to keep pushing to survive every day just to see his face and hear his voice tomorrow. His story is deeply personal to me, a reminder that things really do get better.
I genuinely love every aspect of him, so much so that I'm not really sure how to put it into words...
Again, happy birthday, Rui! Thank you for being in my life for the past 5+ years, and here's to hoping for many more to come! Show your appreciation by wishing him a happy birthday, too :DDD
