[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!

After reading your app for Kara I have been so hyped for you to play her. I am 100% going to stalk every thread of hers because you have such a perfect understanding of her and execute that understanding so well. I absolutely cannot wait to see what all you do with her both as Kara and as Supergirl.

I am constantly, constantly floored by your handle on Adam. You know this kid, you know how he ticks, and you never compromise on him even when it'd be so much easier to do so. I honestly had absolutely NO idea how fucking lucky I was when you decided to app him. None. I've said it before, but having a part in playing out his growing relationship with Ronan over the past year and some change has easily been one of the most satisfying things I've ever gotten a chance to be a part of in RP. I love how much Adam challenges Ronan to be better, I love how it's not easy for them, but they're constantly trying and growing together and they just. They make me SO HAPPY. Even the hard stuff. It's always worth it in the end.

So... thank you for playing this precious nugget. I appreciate every single tag, every single thread, every single crazy thing we throw them into and I'm so so so looking forward to everything they still have ahead of them.

I love his face ;_; and yesss, I hope people bring me more canonmates!

I could probably spend paragraphs telling you how much I love Jesse and Beca and how wonderful I think your Beca is. How you've grown as a person is so great. She was taken completely out of a comfort zone that she worked herself into by getting out of her previous comfort zone but you still made everything she went through fresh and exciting. While throwing her into the Darrow weirdness but still having her start her own record label has all been so perfectly in character for her and handled so well. I actively stalk all of her threads and they're so much fun to read. I love that Jesse and Beca's relationship didn't start seamlessly but they are so happy now and I'm so glad that we were able to work out the different beats of them getting together. I can't wait to see everything you do with Beca now that she's a mom.

Still one of my all time favorite people to follow in game. Every single thread is entertaining and so well done. While I absolutely love how much his threads make me smile and laugh you do the poignant things so well too. He is such a fully realized character the way you play him and it's fantastic.

[sayshazam]

Easily the best part of his canon you play him so incredibly well. You do so well with having him do perfectly well with "normal" interactions but then he can slip right in to being such a creep that I'm in absolute awe.

I was so excited to see you were bringing Julie here and I've been so lucky to have the threads I do with her. Both the relationships we've been playing out have had such different goals and I love them both so much. Reading her and Solo together has been really fun, too, even if Philip doesn't think so.

[intheenditslove]

Awwww, I love Peter. What a complete sweetheart, you play him so wonderfully and seeing him go through the loss of Jason has been amazing. It's so sad and hard, but you've just tackled it and you've done so really honestly, too. I'm so glad I get to thread with him. <333

[intheenditslove]

Bahaha, oh my, I've LOVED threading Cliff and Luke and I always want more. Having that sort of dynamic where Luke is the one who knows more about being what they are has been so interesting for me and I've loved reading Cliff with others, watching the way he interacts with them and becomes more comfortable with himself as time goes on.

Kate will forever and always be one of my favorite parts of the games you've played her in. She can be so fun and funny but also completely real when things start to go so crazy. It's been such a treasure to see her grown over the years you've played her but still be very much Kate. Her progression as a person has seemed so natural in the game and I love all the choices you've made with her. It's pretty apparent that you love the character and everything you do with her seems like you put your heart and soul in it and it's a real treat for the rest of us to get to experience that.

[boywhoflew]

God, Jack is so sweet. He's a very specific, subtle voice and I think you do a great job fleshing him out and showing us the emotion and anxiety that runs under that handsome exterior.

[sayshazam]

I adore her so much. She's a character that has such a deep background that has affected her so deeply and every single tag you do with her is very clearly Demelza. She makes Solo feel like he doesn't deserve her kindness but I love that about her. Every time she interacts with someone it is so, so much fun.

[alltheircrimesarejust]

I feel like Magnus is one of those pups where you could just rest on the big personality he's given in canon but you give him so much more than that. You could easily just do frivolous cat parties day in and day out and it'd still be a great use of his character but instead you also explore serious ideas and events for him and with Alec. It was especially apparent in the KIRIN plot and its fallout and how much you care about giving him a well-rounded story.

[sayshazam]

When I brought Solo into the game he was going to be my "Definitely will never be in a steady relationship with someone" character. And while I do love shipping a great deal your portrayal of Julie made it impossible for me/him to resist at least trying it out. She is such a delightful character with so much depth and I love her for it. I am so glad you're so active with her because reading her threads with people is always so good. Her voice is incredibly distinct but realistic and I am so excited to see what you do with her going forward!

[alltheircrimesarejust]

I just love him. I love his and Tris' relationship and how far they've come and the mutual sort of behavior where they can be the Grown Up for someone else but need someone to do the same for them and it creates such a balanced relationship.

[artoflove]

He is now in a role on Space Hospital for all to see. His next post will address how shirtless he has been in recent episodes with that awful disease that makes him allergic to shirts.

And awww, he liked the Krem stuff too!

[alltheircrimesarejust]

Precious Amalthea. I've adored The Last Unicorn since I was four years old and it makes me so happy to see her. I love that you keep in mind that she thinks as a unicorn and an immortal first and only belatedly remembers she's in a human body. I'm genuinely tensed for how you plan to do that transition in the long run, if you're going to follow canon and have her forget herself and I'm both so jazzed and so worried and INVOLVED with the character.

[alltheircrimesarejust]

I am so. excited. for Bull being here. Biffy isn't but I am so delighted at how it's going to shake things up for everyone. I don't even care about a specific ending so much as what happens to get us there–which, if you think about it, is totally in line with DA:I. It's probably because already you're drawing right from what makes those stories compelling. You dropped him in and gave us a fullness of his character right from the get-go. He's not just Iron Bull the Hard-Drinking Tank or Iron Bull the Kinky Qunari, he's all of these things and more and he feels so REAL that I could squish his pillowy man bosoms.

[alltheircrimesarejust]

Oh my God, your writing for Gansey just blows me away. I read your tags and I just immediately feel challenged to WRITE BETTER because you've got such an amazing sense for the subtleties in Gansey's personality because Gansey lives in the subtleties and the hidden places. It's what makes him so complex and you play so beautifully with his new nature as he's been rebuilt at the end of the series and ugh. UGH. WHY DO YOU HURT ME SO PERFECTLY WHO ALLOWED THIS?

[paper_courage]

I'm just going to do all your kudos in this one post. Okay? Okay.

Cheng: I could not imagine playing Henry. Maybe it's because Gansey pinged me early, early on, but if I had to fill out that app, it would have been 600 characters apiece of "ummmmm." And your Cheng is so certain, so multi-dimensional, and so fucking cute that I want to die. Thank you for giving me a foil that is so much fun to play off of, for giving me test threads to help shape Gansey, and for that white people icon. I can't wait to see where this goes.
[And Gansey says thanks for making Blue happy.]

Kavinsky: I get worried about you when I think about how fucking good you are at this shitty little fuckboy. It would have been so, so easy to make this character very shallow. Your Kavinsky has a reason for his shittiness that is something so much deeper than teenage angst. More than that, you explore the harder parts of his conflict. I feel like playing off of Kavinsky keeps me honest about how Peter's feeling. Losing Jason has been messy and there have been times I've wanted to just tie it up in a neat little bow. But all of the favorite interactions have been post-tragedy. I love that these two opposite people have found so much common ground and I can't seem to get tired of them.
(Also some awesome AU sex)

You: Thank you for writing interesting tags, for always saying yes and adding information and being flexible and for giving a shit. It's so much more fun when the person you're threading with gets into your canon, as well. OBVIOUSLY YOU KNOW THIS, seeing as I ended up apping from Kavinsky's. Also, whether you know it or not, your being around to shoot the shit with has had no small part in getting me through the actual fuckiest part of my life. There isn't another Tony. So, I'm really glad I've got this one.

[alltheircrimesarejust]

I think we've still only had the one thread (Again we SO need to thread more) but there's something so wonderful about Demelza. She's got hope and practicality and a wisdom that makes her so interesting all around.

[alltheircrimesarejust]

Her conversations with Jax are still some of the threads I read most fondly. They were so well matched in the places where they were wise and it made for such a great CR.

[alltheircrimesarejust]

This weaselly motherfucker. I just love how much RELISH you take in not softening those aspects.

[alltheircrimesarejust]

Obviously, I love Marius. You've explored so much with him and I'm so glad you've let me explore that with such a variety of pups, past and present, but especially Rat.

[thisfaceismine]

I do not know this dude's canon at all, but I'm already so intrigued by him. As is Freddie! I can't wait to see what you do with him and where you take him.
