Woah! For some reason LJ is loading at home, so I'm taking advantage of it and posting part 5! I also have finished about... a third of part 7? I went ahead because I was too excited about Cosmo meeting Kate. I mean not meeting her for the first time, but seeing each other and interacting alone. It's such an amusing concept when I think about how literally a day after I designed Cosmo, in 2004, Kate told me to "give him to [her]". I thought this was a joke-crush, but it lasted for years. Once people at DeviantArt started seeing more Cosmo, I realized he sparked ladies' interests, and when I told Kate she said "well I will fight for him!" lol

A joke or not, she has indeed earned the position of his first girlfriend. It's just bittersweet to be writing this when next month it will have been a year since I heard from her. It's just weird. I find what she's done so weird.

ANYWAY,

( Part 5 - The Man Bluer than the Moon )
