✦ Note from Faded Kat ✦
Finally, rut is here!! I cannot overstate how honored I am to have been a cohost on this project, a huge thank you to my fellow hosts and to all of the participants who worked so hard to see the project through to completion! Working on rut has meant so much to me, and I am so inspired by all of the excitement and passion surrounding this project. Brightheart’s story is so hopeful and uplifting, and I hope that’s exactly what this map is to you! remember to give the participants lots of love and enjoy the completed map!!

I am so delighted for us to be able to premiere this map during disability pride month! I think Rut is a wonderful anthem and representation of Brighthearts journey and her fight to thrive, live and love. Thank you to Beth, Kat and Pfini for joining me in this crazy endeavor to finish the map, and to the countless participants we roped in on our scheme to completion! I have always felt such a strong connection to this project and am so delighted and honored to be apart of its success. Enjoy and send your love to everyone involved in its creation! Thanks for watching! Bravo!!!

Wow okay! Idk quite what to say!!! I can't believe this project is done! First I want to give a huge, giant thank you to @PfiniProductions, @fadedkat and @ShadowedKing! This project has meant so much to me for such a long time and for the longest time, I sort of held onto it. I didn't want to give up my baby but, to be quite honest, I'm so glad I did. You guys brought this project back to life and got it past the finish line so quickly! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing that this project was in the hands of such talented and devoted people and I want to thank you so much for giving your time and care to this project in a way I wasn't able to. It turned out better than I could've imagined and it wouldn't have happened without you!

I also want to thank the participants!! Some of ya'll have been with this project from the beginning and, I'm sure, have felt your fair share of frustration with me! Thank you so much for sticking with this project! And to those who jumped in at the end to push it through to the finish, thank you, as well! You all did such an amazing job! I'm literally in awe!! Every single part is a masterpiece and I can't believe what you created!

And lastly, I want to thank everyone who's followed this project! It's been a long 4 years and I'm so honored to know so many people were excited to see it finished. I apologize for it taking so long--I'm not a very good host rip!! I'm so happy we're finally able to share this with you, though! Please go check out and support all the participants and cohosts--they're the real reason this project ever got finished!

Thank you again to everyone involved in this project! I'm so grateful to this community. I hope you enjoy it! ♥
