[meme] kudos

[boywhoflew]

Two memes in a row? You betcha.

Given that it is now mid-year and that many of us seem to have been having a rough time of it lately, now seems like an excellent time for a kudos meme. Tag in character, as yourself, or even anonymously if you prefer! Just spread the love, y'all. ♥

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.

As with the nature of this meme, there is no time limit so don't feel rushed or like you 'missed it'! Tag in tonight, tomorrow, or next week and leave praise and love as you please. Just try to check back for new tag ins, tag around, and enjoy!

Demelza is the actual cutest?? She's not JUST cute, of course, she stands up for herself and is curious and loving, but I can't read her threads without going all <33_<33 . I don't know Poldark fandom at ~all~ but man, I enjoy reading her.

While my exposure to The Maze Runner canon is entirely movie-based, I have enjoyed watching the evolution and growth of Thomas here in Darrow since he showed up. He and Krem came in so close to each other, and I absolutely adore getting to play them off each other. Not to mention Thomas and Kavinsky's rather begrudging "Newt is our only common link", and now Henry and Thomas's blossoming friendship as well.

You handle Thomas's struggle with his past and what he's done with such care, letting him be burdened by it without letting that be his only defining feature. I'm so excited to see how you decide to take him in the future.

As someone who doesn't watch The Walking Dead, I think maybe I'd be disappointed in how much screen time Beth ends up with/without ("wait. Wait this show isn't mostly about Beth and Daryl? Damn.") if I did watch it. Your Beth is so wonderfully vibrant and conflicted and a fighter. I root for her :)

She and Blue are both having a bit of a TIME with their reappearing, different-version not-boyfriends, and it might be a good/?? lead-in to them threading. I'd like them to hang out more, anyway. Mostly because I'm selfish and love reading your Beth. Haha.

[formicine]

I love that you have the wherewithal to play someone legit CREEPY because I can never follow through on that! He is, but he's also charming and it works really, really well.

[jeongbro]

W O W MY ATTRACTIVE GAY SON.

I love all the care and balance that you give to Lito's arc, and that he's getting to a place where he can be open and free about himself.

Also, damn, him and Krem making out was hot as hell. Krem's sorry he was so fucked up and took advantage of you, Lito (except that he's totally not and he would do it again if it wouldn't lose him a client).

[jeongbro]

I don't think I have sufficient words to sing the praises that I have for you, and for Grantaire. It has been ages since I've read Les Mis in any capacity, though every thread makes me want to go at it again. His and Krem's friendship makes me smile. His and Kavinsky's whatever the hell flirting? or whatever, being obnoxious tools at each other - also! so excellent. And watching your threads with R, Edgar and Neil have been an absolute delight. Please never stop being spectacular.

[pylades_drunk]

Pontmercy! I adore your Marius, and having become closer friends with you over him (and your Siren Cove chars, a bit, but I think just as much here). He is very much him, and your writing is always so evocative - I hurt when he hurts, I want the best for him. He's so wonderfully AWKWARD, as he should be, and there's so much you've developed going on below the surface that could have been left untouched.

Grantaire very much treasures his friendship with their little Bonapartiste, and I love them threading together. <3

[marthastewart]

!! That makes me really happy :D :D I'm very glad to be threading with you too - anytime, honestly.

Hopefully I do him justice! I'm always nervous with Arthur, but just when I think I'm losing the touch, he shows up talkative and dry-humored, so who knows :P

[thebloodtraitor]

I know almost nothing about Jesper's canon, but I can tell you I freaking LOVE playing Freddie off him already. He's fascinating and wonderful and I'm so so excited to learn more about him THROUGH Freddie. I can't get enough.

[marthastewart]

I don't know much about Lois Lane much (or shamefully, her canon -- I was never a Superman person, so I just have the sketchy details) but so far I've LOVED reading her.

I'd really like to get Arthur and Lois talking sometime. Journalists!

[jeongbro]

B L U E!!!!!!!!!

It has been absolutely DELIGHTFUL watching how she's shaped to her surroundings, taking on all these responsibilities and growing and filling out her place in Darrow. I love the various dynamics that she has with all the people she encounters, and how you handle all these levels of love and relationship that she experiences. I! love! that she and Kavinsky can even have a momentary civil conversation (which they should probably do again at some point, since they haven't talked since Fight Club, which was not even really talking). I love that Krem has basically adopted her as his little sister.

I LOVE THAT HENRY CHENG CONSISTENTLY THINKS OF HER AS SOME SORT OF GODDESS WOW HE CAN'T HANDLE YOU BLUE SARGENT YOU MUST BE STOPPED YOU'RE TOO MUCH.

[formicine]

Thank you! <33 She likes Jack too (maybe a little TOO much at the start ;D). I kept meaning to tag his car post and forgot to, eep. They definitely should hang out.

[jeongbro]

I think it takes a certain sort of bravery to tackle such a well known and regarded character like Harry, and you absolutely blow him out of the water. He's so good, and has such a clear and distinct voice that is so obviously that Harry Potter that so many of us grew up with.

Also! His and Henry's thread on Henry's debut was so fucking priceless and I can't even handle it, I still fucking chuckle about that shit.

[thebloodtraitor]

OH MY GOD I LOVE HIM. I mean, I knew I would even before I ever got a chance to thread with him, but now that I HAVE, it's even better. I'm hoping he and Sirius can keep in contact even now that Kieren's human again because I find him delightful and Sirius finds him fascinating. His voice is so strong and I have NO freaking idea how you handle all that science shit, but man do you do it fucking spectacularly. I LOVE HIM.

[formicine]

<333! Thank you so much, it means so much honestly. I adore threading her with all of yours, and I was just thinking about how she should talk to Kavinsky again. I really enjoy their dynamic and the tension there. So that I can have even more tags from you >_<

(I have a plot idea that may or may not work as a real plot that came out of that; remind me to tell you *later because I'm getting off lunch.)

I'm using the oft-ignored sexyish icon just for Henry.

BLUE SARGENT: TOO HOT TO HANDLE
or like
too awkward anyway

[jeongbro]

Marius, much like Grantaire, remains one of my favorite characters out of the Les Mis canon, and that is in part because of the spectacular way that he's been portrayed here in game. I am so happy that he and Krem have worked their gentle friendship (which we should totally! do more with!), and I look forward to doing more with Marius and Sean in the future as well!

[jeongbro]

The sheer gross creepiness of this asshole just makes me want to watch his canon, so thanks for that. As someone also playing a slimy bastard, I know there's such a subtle line to dance on with that creepy+charming+nuanced balance, and you manage it so well with Philip.

[pylades_drunk]

Kieeerrrren. I love reading his threads, and I love that someone brought ANYONE in from In The Flesh which is probably one of my favorite TV shows ever ever somehow, and I especially love that you explored/are exploring the hint at regaining human function that they touch on in the last season.

I ship him and Sirius like FEDEX.

Also, I really adored his awkward-flirty sketch session with Grantaire and they should talk again sometime.

[gayest_crew]

Our thread together is young and new but I am loving reading Reese's suspicious narrative and how he's trying to rationalize different things Dutch is saying. It's perfect for a guy like him and I want to read everything he does.

[pylades_drunk]

(Grantaire is amused that "pure" is being used to describe anything involving him, perhaps especially those things.)

[jeongbro]

WOW OKAY FRIEND

First of all, I think my all time favorite interaction was our very first legit conversation, where you seemed to think that I knew anything about anything because I play Joseph Kavinsky, resident super druggie. That or you were TESTING ME. Either way, it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship and I am so glad to have you, okay man? No front.

But okay. Okay. First of all PETER. Every time I listen to Bare now, I just think of the subtle evolutions that Peter is going through, how he's starting to grow and change, how he's pulling himself away from the traumas that he went through, and Kavinsky, haha, KAVINSKY IS HELPING? SOMEHOW? WOW. WHAT A GODDAMN MIRACLE OF MIRACLES. Their friendship gives me such fucking life, man. They're so dysfunctional and fucked up and wonderful and I absolutely love it. Peter, his brother and best friend. So good.

And Gansey! Richardman! Dick Dick Dick! Oh, I'm so excited to watch how everything pans out, how everything goes with all of them, how the king winds back into his kingdom. Henry is so ready for this jeong, bro, he can FEEL IT. And, at some point, Kavinsky needs to run into this asshole and they need to sneer at each other. Did I say sneer? I meant smile like they have razor blades in their mouths.

[sayshazam]

I want so much more of him because he's so great. Not only is the dialogue spot on but he's also up to big things, obviously, which can be tricky to do but is absolutely true to his characterization. I love every interaction he has with everyone.

[sayshazam]

Your Dorian is fantastic and I love the depth you give him. It's obvious he's a character that is dear to you and you really explore every aspect of him. Love it.

[sayshazam]

I love reading her threads with people. Her characterization is so very consistent but it's obvious she's been growing as a person from her time in Darrow and everything she's experienced. She is absolutely wonderful and I love how you play her!

[sayshazam]

I need to tag Carson with someone that won't hate him! I loved the threads with him and Billy and how they can both get along so well with other people but haaaate each other. He's tons of fun to follow and I love that he has a definite direction you're taking him with his journalism. Excited to see what you do with that.
