mostly because i wanted to say something sappy
Added 2019-12-26 19:00:31 +0000 UTCi posted another picture in the studio on twitter yesterday but this one is for you because i wanted to ramble like a nerd to y'all for a little bit (and, i think it's pretty cute haha!)
i've just spent a lot of time feeling nostalgic because it's the end of the year and i get like that always, but this year was absolutely incredible, ESPECIALLY thanks to all of you here on patreon. you made our cosplay goal, which not very long ago used to feel so out of our grasp, something we had to put in our tiers because it's just a give-in now (i specifically recall shooting Claire and thinking we'd just save it if we dipped, but that way we'd have it "just in case" lol. i don't think we ever went under it after that). we reached our second goal and you guys blow past it easily the last few months.
i absolutely love every member of the nerd herd big and small but you guys here, even those of you only pledging a dollar, i don't know if you realize just how much going the extra mile changes our lives and our channel. not just financially, but emotionally? i don't know if it makes sense lol. but knowing so many of you now are invested in us as people and what we do & like to create to share even a bit with us makes it that much easier to push ourselves to be bigger and better all the time. the people i chat with before stream in the $12 tier i see more than i see my own family half the time and honestly? i'm not even mad about it. movie days have been more full and more fun than ever, even though kast has been a bit of a hurdle haha. we have so many awesome photo shoots rattling around in our brains that we may explode.
i'm just so excited that this year has been so full of milestones and joy, so happy to have shared it with so many of you, and so excited for 2020 ✨
sorry this was so fuckn long & probably a little disjointed LOL

I wish I had an adequate way with words to express myself and my feelings. I support you ladies as much as I can because of the amount of joy yall have brought to me and to everyone. And I support as much as I can because I can tell you all do it because you genuinely enjoy it and genuinely love and care about us. To you we are actual people with lives and stories and struggles and you ladies want us to feel as loved and happy as we do for you.

2019-12-30 23:46:46 +0000 UTCYou get as sappy as you like. Thanks for always making me feel like I belong and knowing just how to reawaken something that I felt like had long ago died within me. It's been a pleasure seeing you transform during your time on the channel. I still remember your early days where you were still testing the waters and honestly modern Niki is just so much more at ease it shows what's possible in this community. Here's to a continuation of all the greatness.
2019-12-27 20:50:14 +0000 UTCTime in the community is no indication of belonging. I know we haven't interacted yet, but I'm glad you're here and I hope you continue to feel free to express who you are and share.
2019-12-27 20:48:25 +0000 UTCALL THESE COMMENTS BROUGHT ME SO MUCH JOY i love you guys so much!!! thank you for your kind words 😭💖 i'm so glad we can be there for y'all - niki

2019-12-27 07:53:36 +0000 UTCI haven't been watching the channel for a long time like most, But I quickly fell in love with it and all you wonderful ladies. I still am slowly coming out of my shell trying to interact with you and the nerd herd as I am a very shy person who struggles to talk to people so I am often lonely so it nice to finally be somewhere that I can open up and find help without worrying and look forward to 2020 with this loving family
2019-12-27 07:51:28 +0000 UTCYou and all the other ladies are so much fun to listen to and watch. All the fun, joy, and laughter you bring makes a big difference in my life and I thank you for it! Look forward to the next chapters and adventures you all get into!!
2019-12-27 03:51:05 +0000 UTCBeing European blocks me out of the majority of stream time. Being a student means I can only contribute a dollar. I would go full 150, even beyond, if I could, because it would be so worth it. Still, a YT-sub for the better part of 5 years, I've been through a lot alongside this channel. And I will continue to be, as long as there is internet in the sky and screens to yell at. As of 2019 right now, Im lurk-saving up for a signed yearbook. I will lurk through 2020 to hopefully be able to purchase by the time we're hitting 2021. Im not gonna gamble and risk losing my 60k+ points, I will be the first to purely get to 120k on nothing but lurking and gifted subs. Girls, you exist here for me, half-way around the world. A few polaroids and most importantly, socks hanging off my gaming chair, signifying the support you give me in return in the online world. Nothing I can say but thank you. Lets smash 2020!
2019-12-27 00:22:24 +0000 UTCthank you for that niki, we all love you girls

2019-12-26 21:40:34 +0000 UTCBeing a long time subscriber on YouTube and only joining Twitch early this year, I can definitely see how much this community and its love toward each other has gotten so much stronger. I’ve always been afraid to interact with people over the internet because they tend to be cruel and judgmental. But I can honestly say that y’all are like family to me, the one I’ve always wanted. This community is one of my safe places. We all come from different ethnicities, backgrounds and such but together, we nerds share one huge passion and that’s GP TV. I honestly hope I get the honor to meet all of you IRL. I see even bigger things happening for GP in 2020 and I am here to support and help you achieve your goals anyway that I can.
2019-12-26 21:34:41 +0000 UTCTashy I love you Buddy! I speechless and Everyone said all the good stuff! Just BRAVO LADIES!
2019-12-26 21:18:14 +0000 UTCWatching the channel on twitch the past 4 years grow into what it is today has been WILD! So many things have happened both bad but most especially good and I am SO PROUD of how far each and every single one of you ladies have come. Seeing all your goals hit and the happy proud looks you ladies get when you talk about it or the excitement on twitter or any social media is WORTH supporting you all. At first my sister never understood what twitch or patreon was about and why I wanted to support you all as much as I do. But after actually sitting down with her and explaining how y’all literally have made my life for the better after being more active in chat and how you all have saved my life, she is all for supporting you all through me. And it’s true. Every single one of you ladies have changed my life to be more positive since becoming more active and also the herd. You ladies always say how grateful and appreciative you are for all of us. But I don’t think (at least on my level) how grateful and appreciative I am for having you in my life. And just for changing my life the way you all did I feel like I haven’t supported you enough (which will slightly change next month) but I will try my damnedest to support you all more. Less than three ladies 🖤 (and yes I teared up a lot writing this and I’m SO SORRY it’s long and irrelevant)
2019-12-26 19:53:11 +0000 UTCIts perfect. This has been a hell of a year for GP and the community. You all have helped us in so many ways. Hell you helped me get through. That month and a half stretch where I didn't know if my mom had cancer or not. I am eternally grateful for the love and support you sent my way. It constantly amazes me the new hights the channel is reaching. If the success of this year is any indication of the future then I'd say that new heights will be reached in 2020. I look forward to what you all have to offer in the new year/ decade.
