CAN I ADD THIS:

Hello, my friend.

Yes, I’m the last person to write one of these. I feel terrible about it, but I procrastinated until the last moment to do it instead of just writing it at the start as I should have. Your story is one that many people know. From a friendly FANDOM user to a widely-known bureaucrat, you grew as a coder and as a member of the community. You structured growth for many wikis, using your knowledge to allow them to be better than ever before. This is a power that not many people wield, and you are a master of it. I was so, so, so, so, so lucky to have become your good friend so early on. I am so happy that for a while, you considered me your BFF. Even though I mostly took it for granted at the time, it was an honor, Z, it really was. I looked up to you so much. I do admit that I was jealous that you were better than me, but you were definitely a lot better than me and I really shouldn’t have been jealous. Even though Sophie Elizabeth Foster said that you can’t fight a group of murderers with rainbows and candy, I’d bet you can. Z, you are an absolutely amazing person, and I miss you so, so much.

First of all, there are so many users who looked up to you and miss you for the amazing things that you have done. People look up to you so much, Z. They really do. I looked up to you even though you always treated me as your equal. Many many many people look up to you. Take your fan club, for example. There were at least ten users in it, and I’m sure a lot more would have joined if it hadn’t been unfortunately deleted. Also, if people didn’t trust you and look up to you, you never would have ended up as an administrator on so many wikis. Becoming an administrator gave people more reasons to look up to you and meant that the prominent figures on the wiki decided that you were amazing enough to join them in their ranks. Becoming a bureaucrat meant that the high-up administrators looked up to you. That means a lot, especially considering that administrators are very important members of a community. I found seven wikis that you were an administrator on. The Song Twins Wiki, The Keefe Sencen Idolization Wiki, The Foxfire Wiki, The Vacker Wiki, The Strange Ducks Wiki (you were the one who had the idea of captains, which I greatly admire. If it was just Cress and me leading the whole thing right now, we’d be waaaay overstressed with all of this stuff and the Strange Ducks would have lost a lot of energy.), In A World Of Our Own Wiki, and last but not least, the wiki that you were a very trusted bureaucrat on. The wiki that everyone knows you by. The wiki that you made beautiful, the amazing Fun Fandom KotLC Wiki. There is an unusual percentage of the Lost Cities Keeper fandom who misses you. Even people who didn’t even know you. On Discord, Blue still misses you. I haven’t seen him in a while, but whenever I bring you up, there are many crying faces. Whenever anyone asks “Who’s Z?” there are at least five users who come to answer with something along the lines of “an amazing friend of mine who sadly left” and it’s really awesome because then they look you up and see all of the amazing things you’ve done. You probably don’t have time to do this because of the whole not-on-fandom-anymore thing, but if you check your message walls on FFK (Fun Fandom KotLC) or LCK (Lost Cities Keeper), you’ll see how both of them are flooded with messages. All of them are positive messages of missing and even people who don’t know you at all came to message you. Almost everywhere, if someone mentions you, there will be an epic fanfare of remembrance. We all miss you so much. It would be too much of a burden for me to place on you to link all of the threads here, but I think that this one is one that you should at least skim. Also, look at all of the messages that you’ve just read before this one. Over 15 people went out of their way to write you something, whether they knew you or not. We miss you very, very much. An equivalent to you is the leader of a Wolf Pack. Without you, everything is different.

Secondly, I still think of you as my Best Fandom Friend. You’re probably the friendliest wikian I’ve ever met and there are many, many people who consider you their friend, and there are many, many people who you considered your friend. You were such a friendly friend who always checked in on people. You always made sure that your friends felt welcome and remembered. You checked in with Eva a few times, examples being (a little check-in and dump of helpful info),  (checking in and happifying Eva), and  (reminding Eva to smile), you sent Cress some really nice and beautiful quotes that you graphic designed, you made sure that Ivy was okay when she was thinking of leaving (, you made sure that I was happy ( (thanking me for fun times and smiles),  (nice check-in and happification)), and many more. You’re amazing at making people feel welcome and happy and kindly reminding them that they’re awesome, no matter what they say. Your work is magic, Z, it really is. Every time you were on discord, you asked how everyone was, and if they weren’t feeling good, you immediately came to comfort them. You also immediately messaged me when you thought I should be kept in the loop for that topic, or if it was more private, you’d ask me to LC and you were always on when I needed you. You’re such a kind person who goes out of her way to help and you are a friend of everyone. On discord, you would often kindly redirect or direct people to the rules channel whenever they joined or were not following the rules. Moderators often fail at doing their job properly, because we’re just human, and humans aren’t perfect. It was really nice to be able to rely on someone to do our job when we either weren’t online or if we weren’t being adequate at it. Also, as soon as I appointed you as a moderator on Blue and my KotLC fanfiction server, you immediately got to work helping around and making users happy on the server. You also always reminded me about how our experiences brought us closer, whether you realized it or not. Like, you would tell inside jokes and make me smile, or you would talk to me about things that have happened in the past so that I could understand them better. Also: #THETOWELISTHREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWITHMYONLINEBESTIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE were some of my happiest memories of you. From the creation of it to every time you said it, and when we added the “Online Bestie” part on discord was so happy and fun. You’re so friendly and kind that it’s kinda scary. How do you do that and efficiently moderate platforms? There are so many friends of yours due to your amazing magic friendliness and being your Best Fandom Friend was amazing. I do miss it.

Finally, you are one of the kindest, sweetest, and amazingest people I have ever met. You were a great admin. The FANDOMs that you were an admin on have been greatly changed by you and you have been the cause of so much growth. As proved here, you helped Marshy upload photos to the wiki when she couldn’t. You could have easily just said no, but you went out of your way to help. You also welcomed countless people to all the wikis that you were on. Your welcomes evolved to be more and more deep and pretty. Here was one of your first ones:. The one linked made sure that Cress was welcome and most likely, if you hadn’t welcomed them, they would have entered the wiki differently, and possibly wouldn’t have stayed without a warm welcome of yours. You also added information to a lot of pages on the Vacker Wiki, just because you wanted to help out. When Sofie asked for help on the In A World of our Own wiki, you immediately came to help and did a lot to shape the wiki (https://in-a-world-of-our-own.fandom.com/wiki/Thread:87). On the Song Twins Wiki, you structured a lot of things and helped around with whatever Candy or I asked you to do. And then we have the Fun Fandom KotLC wiki. Your most active place. You rebuilt it after the whole thing happened and you brought so much of it to life. You confidently made sure the community was a safe place and you invited newcomers, like me, to learn the ropes with you. You were a great teacher there and so many people looked up to you. You were absolutely the queen of the wiki for some time, being kind and fair and amazing. You sent oh-so-many kind, heartfelt messages that made people feel happy and amazing. On the KotLC discord, Luna called her writing “trash”. You then responded with, “Technically, noting is truly trash, everything just needs to have time to improve.” An extremely true statement. Here, you told me what was happening and made sure that I could respond to a FANDOM user’s message before it lost its in-the-momentness. Here, you comforted Marshy after she helped you and you strengthened your bond. You made sure that she felt okay and was still happy. Here, you thanked Cath for her hard work and made her feel appreciated. You also made sure that there was something you could help with. Here, you made so many users happy and made them feel like they were important because they were, but they weren’t getting very much recognition. You told them how you smiled at what they did and it made them/us so happy. When Marshy told me about this thread, she said that she cried reading it, it was such a bittersweet thread. First, you were checking in and being super kind, and then you had to go. Here, you gave administrators thanks and recognition that other users acknowledged and responded to accordingly. Here, you made Cath a very sweet and personal card that she told me made her feel absolutely amazing. Here, you did the same to Suldreen that you did to Cath. Here, you gave Eva a very, very, very kind message, custom-made beautiful graphic designed quotes, support, and the same that you did to Cath and Suldreen. Here, you gave me a birthday message that made me tear up slightly. My friends were over for a sleepover and were very confused. I showed them this message and they agreed that it was very, very, very sweet. Here, you sent Varis a kind message making sure that he knew that it was okay. The message was also given to you by Cress after you left. Here, you wrote a poem thing about smiling. It was so happy and Cress and I were both uplifted that day because of your beautiful poem. Finally, your last contribution. An early birthday message to Marshy that made her feel so happy. Everyone who knew you knew of your sweetness. They knew that you are amazing.

You are the type of person to come to the rescue, like when you saved those kids lives at the gas leak. You are the type of person who goes out of her way to make people happy. So many users look up to you. So many users miss you. You were such an amazing friend. You were so friendly. You are so kind, sweet, and amazing, it’s hard to believe. I’m sorry this message wasn’t worded as good as it could have been… my procrastination got the better of me. Always remember that you are the one and only Madame Zulol Indeed, the Galaxy of Celestial, amazing from A to Z, the purple queen of hamsters, the first Strange Duck captain, my role model, and probably the fairest bureaucrat I’ve ever met. All because

“There is no one in the entire universe who will  be you if you aren't you.”
