Since there is so much truth in this freaking post, I figured I should contribute. Lemme tell you some things about Salsa mom here (and no Rhys, it won’t be 12 bullet points on how well you draw ears and Adam’s apples, though I’d love to do that). Let’s spill some beautiful truths here, shall we?
- Rhys, hands down, gives the best freaking hugs in the existence of best freaking hugs. Like “wait-wait-please-don’t-go-this-hug-is-the-highlight-of-my-day” hugs. Trust me on this.
- Rhys is freaking HILARIOUS. This gets truer as the day goes on. If you haven’t experienced 3 AM Rhys humor via Skype, you’ve been missing out mate, let me tell you.
- Rhys is an incredible listener. They are so awesome at letting you say what’s on your mind and they acknowledge you as you’re speaking. That may not sound like a huge deal to y’all, but if you babble endlessly like I do, it’s so freaking nice to know that someone is actually noticing the words that are coming out of your mouth and not just waiting for you to finish.
- Rhys is awesome at a British accent. I will fight on this, its a bloody good accent, which was confirmed when Rhys graciously fulfilled my request of saying “water vapor” while in Brit-mode.
- Rhys has Spanish in their fics!!! Do you know how excited I was when I found out about this? So excited, goodness me. Mad props for including a foreign language and doing it so so well.
- Rhys introduced me to Voltron. Need I say more about that? (Thanks for the feelings ya loser <3)
- Rhys is the most thoughtful person ever. They will always ask you if you want to do something or if you’re free rather than assuming that you have time for whatever it is they’re about to tell you about. I tease them about this, but seriously, its so so nice and honestly just so considerate.
- Rhys has the voice of an angel and will belt Disney songs with you at the drop of a hat (why did I use that phrase, I don’t like that phrase ay yai yai). You don’t need to say “Hey, we should sing a thing” you just have to say “Thank you” with a lil smirk and Rhys will sing “You’re Welcome” 99% of the time. I’ve tested this, this is an evidence supported claim, I am definitely a real scientist.
- Rhys is obsessed with the ocean and it is hands-down the cutest thing in the world. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I could listen to them gush about deep-sea creatures all freaking day. It’s adorable.
- Rhys eats the cookies that I bake which is a freaking blessing, thank you for eating my cookies, it makes me happy (I’m 500% serious about this, I like giving people food, it’s a bloody nice feeling, the Arab in me takes pride in feeding people)
- Rhys introduced me to Rumors and lordy loo what would I do without that place? I mean, I’m sure the staff could do without my antics, but the point still stands.
- Let’s take a moment (hA a moment she says) to talk about Rhys’ art, shall we? This could take a while…
- The way they draw hair with the little floof floofs gives me life
- EYES (have you ever zoomed in on their art and looked at Lance’s eyes? If you answered no to this question, consider this to be a PSA go right now and zoom in on his beautiful eyes. I’ll wait. ……..Ok good, now that you’ve done this, let’s continue through the pearly gates of Rhys’ art world)
- LASHES (they’re luciousssss)
- BROWS (brow baby, brow baby, brow baby)
- Rhys puts so so much time into the small details of everything and its marvelous (Like I said, zoom the hell in)
- The giraffe mug (if you don’t understand, you need to do two things. One, understand that Lance’s irrefutable name is giraffe boy. Two, go to Rumors and get hot chocolate in the giraffe mug, this will be the best decision of your life I can guarantee it.)
- Colorssss. Rhys has the best taste in color oh my goodness, it’s like right up there with their taste in music. A+ and deserving of cookies.
- Shoes!!!! Rhys will probably yell at me for this, but they draw shoes and laces so freaking well, they look better than the shoes I wear I stg. Like, have you seen Quiche’s shoes? This is another time you should go, zoom in, and report back to me.
- fACE SPRINKLES (and also shoulder sprinkles and anywhere-else-freckles-deserve-to-be sprinkles)
- Shadinggggggggg (I don’t even know what it means to have a light source in any other context than plant growth because I’m a science freak and somehow Rhys has got that shit in the bag and it looks flawless af)
- HANDS. Rhys has gotten so freaking good at hands and it makes my heart happy, like oh my lord.
- Rhys has the freaking cutest style ever and it has changed and grown but always for the better, it’s beautiful
- I should stop myself there on the art thing because I could go on for years and then y’all would be stuck on tumblr forever (as if you had anywhere else to go pshhhh) tl;dr: Rhys’ art is the bomb.com
- Rhys has the nicest laugh ever oh my gosh. (I will admit, I have a tendency to talk about people’s laughs and that may contribute in part to how I choose my friends whoopsssss but seriously Rhys has a lovely laugh and it’s so legit and beautiful I love it, set it as the soundtrack to my life)
- Rhys has access to the ultimate vine compilations. I don’t know how the hell they find the ones that they find, but by Jove, they are freaking hilarious. I have, admittedly, temporarily lost the ability to breathe while watching the ones that they send me.
- Rhys entertains my Criminal Minds ramblings (this is distinct from my other ramblings, because wow these ones can get real dark real quick and Rhys hasn’t thrown me out of a window for it yet, bless their soul)
- Rhys is so freaking niceeee to their friends, like y’all have no idea how often they offer rides I swear. They keep insisting that they’re just being “a decent person” but that’s rubbish, they are super nice don’t let them tell you otherwise.
- Physically, Rhys is adorable (I will fight you Rhys do NOT argue this) but they literally have the NICEST EYES ever. Lowkey pretty sure that they draw Lance’s eyes as beautifully as they do because subconsciously they are inspired by their own pretty eyes (trust me, this is accurate af, Rhys has bloody nice eyes)
- Should I gush about Rhys’s writing or should I let y’all experience it firsthand and get all the pain and fluff in the fully concentrated, potent dose? Yeah, I’m gonna let you suffer, but I will say this: Rhys has raised my freaking standards for fanfic because their writing is so freaking amazing. Like oh man, no offense intended, but I just can’t read some fic now, I’m classically conditioned against it (Rhys how dare you, you’ve made me a snooty consumer of fanfic! I’m indebted beyond belief)
- I could go on for hours. I probably shouldn’t because you folk have better things to do (I love my friends, ok, I’m sorry I have a lot of feelings just like that chick from Mean Girls). If you didn’t catch all the other points up there, let’s summarize: Rhys is fabulous and if you don’t believe me, I’m sorry, but you are scientifically proven to be incorrect (putting this bio major-in-progress to good use here).
This has been a PSA. If you actually got to the end of this without skipping over everything, you definitely get a cookie. (If you skipped, I am very disappointed. Not even mad. Just disappointed. You are missing out m’dear). I hope you like the cookie. Rhys, I will defend all of this until I’m dead, and then you’ll have to go to my funeral dressed as a fluorescent pink gum drop and nervous horse laugh into the mic. So there. Love ya mate <3
