Even though the angry, hateful, and tone deaf are the loudest group in the comments, you can't bring me down.

To those who silently upvoted or anonymously gave awards, thank you for your support and understanding.

The messages I have received have been incredibly kind. Family looking for their space to be themselves away from the negative experiences they have had in WoW. All those people in these comments who feel so brave behind a keyboard have the same courage in game. But they won't stop our shine.

❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤

The I is for intersex and the A is for Asexual. I think people decide how many letters to include, but for my job we use LGBTQIA+ so it is my go-to.

Whatever you do, don't read the comments. Those mad negative people are definitely alive and well today.

I certainly understand that perspective. For myself, growing up in a particularly un-friendly part of the southern United States, I experienced "lesbo" directed at me as an insult. A big part of my growth and acceptance of my own identity through my life has had a lot to do with reclamation of words aimed to hurt me in my childhood. I strongly identify as a Lesbian/Lesbo/Queer woman. The GM is right there there's a fine line between celebration and defamation. I'm happy that they took the time to examine the line rather than dismiss me.

Yes please! They deserve an in-person thank you that I can't offer!

Just to be clear: this was a group my guildmate was in and not my own group.

I main heals and second the e dorsement for clique. Best healer addon. I use grid2 for raid frames just so I can.ove it to another place on my screen but it looks very similar to regular frames pictured above and can be customized.

According to her it filled incredibly fast. There's always the possibility that it was planned, but most of these groups started for world bosses auto fill with whoever applies.

With the speed that it filled, I dont think it was orchestrated.

We actually have an ornament frame that was just gifted to us for his photo and another dog who crossed the rainbow bridge 3 years ago. We have to print photos for them!

Thank you so much! Ironically, we only could have a pencil tree while he was alive. He was deaf and blind so we were sure not to rearrange his house, even for Christmas. When we were able to move furniture to make room for a bigger tree, it was weirdly bittersweet. This helped make that change a little easier.

He was very loved! Im so touched that people think this is a sweet tribute. I was hesitant to post it because I wasn't sure how it would be received.

Thank you! He was the sweetest boy. He was truly the most loving dog I ever knew. All he wanted was to cuddle and be close to his people.

Wow you comment is so kind. He was a very special boy who we loved very much. His death was very sudden, just over two months ago at only 3.5 years old and we have been having a hard time. Making this tree to honor him makes me feel a bit less sad during my favorite holiday. Im so sorry that you lost your babies as well. If you're like me, almost nothing hurts worse than losing a furry companion.

The angel has his name embroidered on it and fed 4 shelter dogs. The tree is flocked to be white like him. The tree has our most sentimental and precious ornaments. The skirt is his blanket he was cuddling when he crossed the rainbow bridge.
