Shoutout to my husband Cam for a decade of his time, help, patience and dedication as we were developing our characters together. Buttons and Meg would not be the same without him!And a huge thank you to all of you for sticking around, participating in RP with me and sending me kind words, prompts and fanart for ten years. Knowing that our OC-s are enjoyed by others is a delight for any artist.If you like quizzes and want to check your Buttons lore knowledge, I made a trivia about random facts involving him! Check it out!Whether you're new here or you've been following these OC evolutions since '13, I hope you had fun during this recap. See you around!
