Okay, I almost forgot to do this again so it’s a little rushed hehehee... This is my entry for the @thankyoucheritz project of this year! I don’t know if it’s okay to do so much, I wanted to make less pages but I didn’t know how to TnT so I left it like that... If you can’t use it, no problem, at least I had fun doing it! haha! Obviously, my entry is to thank Saeyoung! I didn’t add a lot of reasons to thank him, but I hope this little comic can convey my feelings well lololol

And maybe,, also send in a submission too^^ the thicker the book the better lololol^_−☆

Also some writing from me for the project:

Dear Cheritz,

Thank you for making Mystic Messenger, this game became something very dear to me and I can’t tell you how much this game changed me as a person. For example from 707’s route, it taught me to be more grateful for the things i do have and not take it for granted, it also taught me to appreciate family more. Keep up the amazing teamwork on creating heartwarming games with many life lessons and morals^_^!!

Character Love Project Submission Guidelines

Hey everyone!

It's the ThankYou Cheritz team.

We are happy to announce that a brand new project, the Character Love Project, is in the works!

Our new project will be centered around the idea of showing appreciation for individual characters. The finished work will be a book of compiled letters and art with individual sections for the characters within the game that have their own routes. There will also be a separate section labeled 'side characters' included in the book for characters such as Vanderwood, Rika, etc.

Our goal is to deliver this book as an 'end of the year' gift in order to show the Cheritz staff our appreciation for the lovable characters that they've created!

Please note the submission guidelines below!

1. Hate for other characters in your submission will NOT be tolerated. Please keep your submissions central to your one chosen character only!

2. Please stay on theme; show your love for one character per submission. We encourage you to create multiple submissions if you want to appreciate more than one character!

Yoosung Kim

@thankyoucheritz

Dearest Cheritz,

I love your work. I love how humble you are. I love how you truly care about the players that have become part of the RFA. Most of all, I love Yoosung Kim. 

There are no words that describe how I felt when I first met Yoosung in the chatroom. Relief? Kinship? Yoosung Kim lost Rika to suicide. And I lost my older brother. I've never spoken about my feelings. Never shared my grief with anyone. I wasn't close to anyone else in my family and that made it hurt even more when my older brother died. He was the only one who cared about what I wanted and could sympathise with my feelings. Years passed and I thought I wouldn't need to talk to anyone about how I felt, even if I wanted to. My brother was my idol and ever since I was little I wanted to do anything if it made him proud to have me as a sister. I had never met anyone who knew what that felt like until I met Yoosung. Yoosung understood. When he phones in-game and admits it feels as though he never knew the real Rika, I cry with him. It was like he had taken the words right out of my head. It's hard to think about my brother without getting emotional, but when I speak to Yoosung I feel healed. He might just be a character in a game but to me, he is an essential part of my day. I don't feel so alone anymore because I have him encouraging me. And when I watch him try to move on past his grief so that he can focus on school and get his degree, I feel hopeful for my future too. Thank you Cheritz, Bexx★

707

I’m gonna talk about him because out of all of the characters in Mystic Messenger, he is my favorite one. I really love the fact that he cares about so many people and would protect them even if it meant sacrificing himself. I also love how complex he is, but is still understandable by so many people. I could talk about so many things that I love about him, but that would take to long. So instead I would like to say, thank you Cheritz for making Saeyoung such a wonderful character to talk with!!!!

[poobirdy]

hope i made it on time, but here’s cherrie and ritz - the cheritz mascots! this is for @thankyoucheritz‘s project, and as you can guess by their group name, they intend to thank the cheritz team by mailing a book of submitted fanart and letters!

[artixkey]

This is the final polished piece I have created for the @thankyoucheritz event. I would like to thank Cheritz a lot for making this otome game, it is a huge success. Especially when I was just kicked out of my own fandom because the fandom was dying, I was sort of lost and didn’t really know where to go after that. This fandom encouraged me to draw a lot more and it further developed my skills in the world of digital art. Not only that, but also, it helped me further understand of different kinds of characters and their own stories as well as being mindful that nobody has it worse or better in life, stuff just happens and we can’t stop it, but we can change the future instead of looking back to the past. But more importantly, Mystic Messenger had been around during one of my most devastating points in my life, it was the point in my life where I thought nothing was really going to help at all, but playing this game and discovering characters, despite being make belief, made me feel at ease. It made me feel as if what was happening truly was not a battle I was fighting alone. I could relate to how these characters felt and that’s what made me feel better about my situation. I know this message is not as important compared to how much work I put into the drawing, however, I felt that there is nothing more important than words to go with it and to explain just one fan’s experience.

I managed to finish in time!! My submission for @thankyoucheritz​!!! Thank you cheritz for making such amazing games!! Though I’ve yet to play Nameless or Dandelion, Mystic Messenger easily became one of my favourite game to play since last year. Thank you for taking your time to make these games, and continuing to come up with new merch, DLCs, and routes for Mystic Messenger!!! You’ve brought so many smiles (and angst) in my life, and I, as well as many others, will continue to love and support you!!! As the Sweet Peas in my art symbolizes, thank you for the lovely time.

THANK YOU CHERITZ for these wonderful, captivating, tear-jerking games, the merchandise and everything else you’ve done for us!!

I really love this project and want to thank the organizers SO MUCH, what a lovely idea @thankyoucheritz 💗

[dragonpigeons]

My submission for @thankyoucheritz​ because I owe Cheritz a lot for everything, from my sudden burst of passion for art to all the friends I’ve made in the MM fandom °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

[leiram-art]

This was supposed to be for the @thankyoucheritz project, but I didn’t finish it on time... but that doesn’t mean that  I’m not thankful with cheritz so I’m posting it anyways lol Also, Since my first language is not English, I apologize in advance for any grammatical mistake I have made... lol

[tahleec]

Finally my @thankyoucheritz piece is done! Honestly this game means a lot to me and to so many others. I have never played a game quite like this one before. Not only in the form of a phone application but with depth of character, story plot and interaction with the player. So from myself and the fans, thank you Cheritz.

[thankyoucheritz]

Ray/Saeran ❤️

Thank you so much, Cheritz, for the character Ray/Saeran Choi.

I’ve rarely had a character I can relate to so strongly — I couldn’t even name my struggle until him. I didn’t realize that what I’ve been doing is my way to seek other people’s acceptance. Seeing Ray/Saeran and his struggles in Mint Eye, I see myself struggling to have others accept me.

I have physical limitations, which is, frankly, not that bad. Anyone meeting me for the first time wouldn’t even notice. However, I’ve only begun to realize how much it impacts the way I perceive myself. When I was young, especially during PE or school outings, I would have either my parents or teachers telling me, “Oh, you can’t do that — let’s stay behind,” “You don’t have to do that — it’s okay.” If the teachers asked students to line up, I would always be at the very back, so that I wouldn’t “hinder” the other kids. At the time, I saw it as a ‘privilege.’ Maybe it was, then, but certainly not now.

Now, I find it hard to be confident in everything that I do, unless I have people saying to me otherwise. I find myself clinging to the only thing(s) people have complimented me for, namely my academics and writing abilities. I become hesitant in challenging myself in other things, especially those involving physical activities. I wouldn’t walk somewhere far, I wouldn’t run, I wouldn’t participate in anything that would require physical effort. I get so used of being “half as good” in everything else but the two things I am confident in — I take people’s criticism to the heart. I would tell myself, “I can’t do it. And there’s nothing I can do to change it.”

On the other hand, I force myself to continue excelling in those two domains. I pay special attention to my grades — I cry and blame myself a lot when I don’t get my expected grades. I become extremely hard on myself on those two things — the things I am “convinced” are possibly the only things I am good, or at least decent, at doing.

Which is why, I can strongly relate to Ray/Saeran, especially to his Ray persona. He helps me to realize that we don’t need to depend on others to love ourselves. In saving him, I feel like I am also saving myself, indirectly. The words I say to him indirectly applies to me, too. The things I do to him, getting him to the “right path,” are the things I am trying to do for myself, as well. I am nowhere near succeeding, but now that I know what I am facing, I believe I am getting there.

I love you, Ray/Saeran, and thank you so much for being such a relatable character. Thank you for making me feel that I am not alone, that someone understands what I’m going through ❤️

My submission for @thankyoucheritz‘s #ThankYouCheritz project!

“The first time I opened up Mystic Messenger, Zen fired his little charm bullets and has left me lovestruck ever since.  Since then, I still giggle and melt and gush over the whole Mystic Messenger crew.  Cheritz, thank you for creating such engaging characters and stories that have us all lovestruck.  You’re doing an amazing job and I can’t wait to see what you have in store for the future!”

[anasthesi]

This is my submission for @thankyoucheritz.

Just wanted to say thank you to Cheritz. You make our everyday happy with the charecters you created that we all could fall in love. Even though I only played Mystic Messenger, the game mesmerised me and I have really grown to love the charecters and I know I always have someone to talk too. You’re hard work and so much passion for the things you do does really pay off. We really love you and wish you will still be with us for a long time. THANK YOU!❤
