Oh, hey! It's the tenth in my timezone now, so!

I made a set of eight icons for Ran's birthday! If you'd like them, you can find them here in a .zip file!

There's a readme inside but since most people ignore those anyway, these icons are free to use. Please credit gildedaria on Twitter!

Happy Birthday Ran! I hope you're Birthday will the "same as always" AWESOME!

oh wow it's HH-chan's birthday

ahhhhhh happy birthday ran! i love you, and that’s the same as always ❤️

Happy birthday, Ran ♡

Oh, happy birthday ran.

Aight, Im going back to bed.

ooogHGH I JUST WOKE UP HELLO Y'ALL...... ITS MY BIRTHDAY AAAAA BUttTT

it's also a special someone's birthday tho...... the fleet who i tried to delet, but could not beat. kaoru seta!!!

listen here u tall funky lesbian kiddo. i still can't explain how amazed and happy i felt inside when i found we have the exact same birthday. i have been alive for 10,000 21 years now and i've never met anyone, fictional or irl, that had the same birthday as me. februrary 28th is such a weird day, ppl born on this day are probably all just super weird by default, kaoru is very eccentric and so am i for better or for worse

ur one of the funniest characters in this game, and i love how u quote shakespeare without ever knowing what the heck ur talking about. like girl, "it's exactly what it sounds like" is the worst explanation ive ever heard and it sounds like something i would say, i think thats why i find it so funny. i relate to u on a spiritual level, from the way u look out for ur friends to how u get hella disrespected by chisato like oh my gosh. i swear i usually get along with most ppl but then theres always that one person who just has it out for me , u know what i mean. theres some of y'all in this community who like to disrespect me and im not dropping names but Y'ALL KNOW WHO U ARE. Y'ALL KNOW 100% WHO U ARE OK

anyways lmao. another way i really relate to u is how we both are able to put on "personas" that help us feel more comfortable in social situations. u guard yourself by putting on a very smooth and charming air, but rly ur just a shy and lovable dork underneath. likewise, i find it easy to kind of "guard" myself by being loud and boisterous but the dark truth is that i am a funky smol bean who grew too tall somehow, i may be 184 cm but my inner self is like a whole 30 cm shorter than that. fate can be twisted like that and we both know it, fate gives tol power to those who need it the least. ur exactly the same kaoru, ur inner self is even smaller than mine and from one tiny soul to another i just appreciate u ok. i even tried to delet u because of how much i related to u, because deleting u is a lot easier than being open like this

kaoru, ur a really good friend to those around u, an amazing singer, and u got some rly great skills on that there guitar i reckon yeehaw. ur way more perceptive / observant than u come across as and ur a bright & creative young lady. u will always be a special character to me for many reasons, theres no character i quite identify with in the same way as u, and it all started with us having the same birthday!!

i hope that, little by little, we both find the confidence to be more comfortable in our own shoes, not the fancy ones we prefer to put on around others.

dhjdgjfgGJSGGDJGGFG I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY I LOVE KAORU SO MUCH I COULD TALK ABOUT HER ALL DAY, AND I LOVE ALL U GUYS IN THIS COMMUNITY...... IM ENDING THIS NOW BC IM STARTING TO FEEL SMOL & I NEED MY TOL POWERS TO STAY STRONG

&finally a super big happy birthday to everyone born today, yay!!!

HBD for my 4th best girl, Thanos Ran- i mean Mitake Ran from Bangdream.

Well, just don't call her as the Hentaihaven girl or some sort this time, she doesn't deserve that horrible treatment. I wish Ran has an even stronger bond with her bandmates and her friends.

Also, don't forget to worship Babanbo-sama~ 🙏🙏🙏

Happy birthday Ran!!! Afterglow

Raise his glass

Fam...I would like to take this chance to wish a Happy Birthday to our precious rebellious red noodle, may your day be "Same as always".

And now, if you excuse me for a second, I have to go and die from fangasm after seeing the new set in JP.

PD: Basically this is me right now

Stay 'the same as always':

Happy birthday Ran!

Tsugu, I'm sorry but if Girls Anthology doesn't deliver, Ran's gonna take your spot as 'Favourite Afterglow Character'.
