meme: kudos

[not_acute]

Valentine's Day is this Saturday, so we figured it's time to spread a little love around the game!

Tag in each of your characters, then go around and respond to the others with kudos for their characters. Tell them why you love having them in game, what you enjoy about the character, praise a specific plot or thread, whatever love you have to spread. (If you'd rather just do a block comment of kudos, that's okay, too!) Share your favorite moments, tags, threads, plots, etc.

Max Carrigan

[thetinydemon]

This asshole.

So, yeah, I don't even know, dude. I know you worry about balancing the different aspect of Max's character, that fun-loving, FUCK YOU, careless attitude with all the demons he brought back with him from the war, but personally, I think you juggle them both perfectly. He's not the Max from early in the film, he's the rougher, wiser, more world-weary Max. He's the guy who spent all that time alone in the ash, in Darrow. He's so clearly Max, but he's your Max, and he happens to be one of my favorite fucking characters in-game.

And I don't even know if I want to get started in on how much I love our stupid fucking ship, how important it is to me and how happy it makes me. It's SO DUMB and it basically came out of nowhere. I never intended to love the two of them this much, but HERE WE GO.

Lee Adama

[a_littlefaith]

Lee and Ilithyia remain one of my favourite fucked up things I've gotten to do in game. >:D She manipulated the crap out of him and I want to thank you a million times over for allowing me to do that, for playing along with it, you made it SO MUCH FUN for me to play her that way. It's not something I had the chance to do very often with her and threading her off Lee was so goddamn delightful. Ugh, such good memories.

Plus, he's the reason I finally watched BSG and I was not disappointed. You write an incredible Lee.

Ron Weasley

[a_littlefaith]

Man, I'm super excited by Luke and Ron's friendship and where it can go. Luke's used to dealing with young people like Draco Jace, so it's so nice for him to be around someone like Ron. I've just really loved threading them so far and I want to continue it forever and also UNCLE LUKE, OMFG, MY HEART.

[fuck_it]

Chris Miles

[a_littlefaith]

So the thread where Chris finds Kate and tries to revive her remains one of my favourite threads even though it's SO SAD. He's perfect in it. It just gets to me every single time I think about it and I've gone back to read it so many times because it's so wonderful and Chris is just heartbreaking.

And he's so much fun, too. I love threading with him so much and I'm so happy he and Kate are closer in Darrow. This is another character I can blame for making me watch a thing, too, and another one of yours who is PERFECT.

Jesse Pinkman

[a_littlefaith]

UGH. In exactly one more season's worth of Criminal Minds, here's number three I can blame for making me watch something. XD You seem to have a talent for that.

But Jesse and Andrea have been another friendship I've loved so much. They've had such great and realistic ups and downs. Getting the chance to play conflict has been a lot of fun, getting the chance to come back from it, too, has been really lovely with them. And Jesse going to school and doing things and maybe being happy MAKES ME SO HAPPY.

Peter Quill Star-Lord

[a_littlefaith]

I'm just really fixated on the idea of him and Beth being friends, so keep giving me threads please. :D :D I love their NYE thread and he's so perfect. I've read a bunch of his other threads and I'm torn between wanting to hug him and wanting to smack him, which I think is exactly what Peter Quill should make me feel. XD He's just a lot of fun and I'm so glad you brought him.

Molly Stearns

[not_acute]

So, I saw The Ides of March a long while back, back when you were playing Molly at TR and suggested it, but I was really only playing off of Molly sporadically back then. Let me tell you, Laine, I am SO GLAD that I get to play off of her all the time now. Your Molly is absolutely spot-on and delightful. I love that you don't shy away from all of what happened to her in canon and that she's developed and changed as a person because of it. It'd be easy to just gloss over the horrible stuff that happened and just play her as she is in canon, but what you're doing is much more interesting.

And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention how much I adore every Molly and Lee thread we do. These idiots are one of my favorite things about the game right now, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. ♥

Leo Fitz

[du_vallon]

You know I love your Fitz and he is absolutely wonderful here, too, watching him cope with his inner Simmons. Utterly love reading him and the interactions he has with everyone!

[spanningyears]

Logan Echolls

[badtotheclone]

Being a VMars fan I love, love, love seeing Logan and Veronica's story continue in Darrow. You do such a fantastic job of playing Logan and play him so accurately it's amazing.

[not_crazy]

Jennifer Mason

[a_littlefaith]

I don't know Jennifer's canon at all, but I've always really enjoyed threading with her. Her debut was so much fun, so original and so creative, I was really happy you asked me to be a part of that. :D She's also just SO CUTE. I can't even stand it.

[walkswithheroes]

Fred Burkle

[a_littlefaith]

I've probably said this before, but Fred's a character who's really special to me for a whole bunch of reasons and you write her so well that it just makes me really happy reading her threads or getting the chance to thread with her. Seeing someone play a character you just really love and doing it perfectly is a really great experience, so thank you for that. You've made it a whole lot easier for me to forget A Hole in the World.

UNTIL YOU DO SOMETHING AWFUL. I KNOW IT'S COMING AT SOME POINT. XD

Lucy Carrigan

[not_acute]

I've told you over and over that one of my regrets is not playing Max back in 2007 when I first wanted to, but it remains true. I'm just delighted that I'm playing him now, and that I finally get to thread off of your Lucy on a regular basis. Lucy and Max are without a doubt, another of my favorite things about this game right now. I just love their relationship as siblings, and I love how easy and fantastic their threads always are, if it's just Max giving his sister shit or they're dealing with more serious stuff.

To this day, I still go back and reread that one thread of theirs from just after Silent Darrow plot, because it's just one of my favorite things. Even little stuff like way back when Max got his first check from driving a cab in Darrow and went to his sister about it makes me super happy. :3

You Lucy is a complete delight, pitch perfect and flawed and opinionated and everything she should be. I'm so glad you're playing her, Laine.

Clementine

[not_acute]

As much as I love video games, I suck at them, so I have to admit that I STILL haven't finished The Walking Dead game. But that said, from what I've played so far and from the numerous threads I've gotten with Clementine, it's easy to tell that you're fantastic at her. I'm always impressed when people are brave enough to take on RPing children, because I don't think I've ever been very good at it, but you play Clementine flawlessly. She absolutely breaks my heart, in the best way, and has ever since we first started threading her and Jesse a few years back. ♥

Jenny Mellor

[thiefwithhonor]

Robin Hood

[du_vallon]

I love the passion you have for Robin and the care you take into investing in the character (more than the Once writers do, I feel >.>) and it really shows in the devotion and the dedication that you give to him. Utterly and totally, I love reading him and threading off him.

[yougetup]

Miles Morales/Spider-Man

[mynameiscassie]

Miles is a perfect precious child and I adore what I've played with him. I definitely need to get ahold of his canon so I can experience him pre-Darrow, but just the same, I love playing against him and I love that he feels so real. He's so perfectly a teenage boy and I love him a lot :3

[fireflygirl]

Riley Abel

[a_littlefaith]

Riley is a goddamn delight in how angry she is. XD I loved her so much in the DLC and having her here in Darrow makes me so happy because she's getting a second chance. What I love most about it, though, is that you're not making it easy for her, which feels SO RIGHT. I love that she's resisting, that she thinks it's stupid, that she doesn't know what to make of any of it. It's so interesting to read and I'm just excited to continue reading her threads.

[tasteofneedles]

Sean Cassidy

[kaitmaree]

I obviously don't know his canon as well as I should (help me fix this, Leshia), but your Sean is fanfuckingtastic. I so rarely get to play my characters with enemies (or whatever the hell these two are???) and you make it such a joy. Some of my favourite threads have been with Sean and Raven and I honestly think I'm a better roleplayer for them, so thank you.

[whateverhappenedto]

Reggie Mantle

[a_littlefaith]

Look, I have a lot of feelings about Reggie, okay. :|

He's been one of my favourite characters since I was a kid and when you brought him to TR I was SO EXCITED and I just had to thread with him and I honestly had no idea that he and Kate would become what they did, but I loved every last thread and every last moment of those two idiots. And I love getting to thread with him here in Darrow, too. The friendship they've developed that sometimes has that little bit of an edge to it because she remembers a lot of really nice things about him that he doesn't remember. I don't know, I just love threading with him a lot and I think you write him perfectly in every single way. He's exactly the Reggie Mantle I've loved my whole life. ♥
