[meme] kudos

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!

BLUE LILY, LILY BLUE! I just. I love your Blue, okay? I feel like all the TRC players are just so spoiled because not only does everyone know their character, they also love them. You and Blue and the love and thought you've invested into her are no exception. There's just so much there to her and it's so good.

I love Gannicus SO MUCH in canon, he's one of my favourite characters to the point where I actually considered apping him. XD Every thread I've had with him, every thread I've read you writing with others, they're all so perfect. You've got him down and he's as amazing as he is in canon and I love that he's here.

I was so excited for Tim to come and for Billy to hate him because he's Steph's ex. But then Steph wasn't here and they became buddies (except when in costume) and I love that even more (even if that means no Tim/Billy making out for Steph's birthday or something). You do such a fantastic job of balancing his civilian and hero identity and making him compelling with both, which can be tricky to do with comics. I am so very excited to see what you have planned for him in the future!

OH MAN. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS GUY. I am so glad you let me pester you into apping because oh my gosh like. Grantaire is another one of those characters where it's just so EASY to focus on one or two aspects of him and reduce him to a two dimensional idea but you stay with all of his layers and nuances and he lives and breathes. He and Edgar are so wonderfully complicated, not quite knowing what to do except that they know they love each other and god. Just. So spoiled.

I COULDN'T FIND BLUE. I LOOKED AND LOOKED. XD

Apparently I'm just blind.

She is just SO great, though. I don't know her canon, but there's still such a distinct voice in each and every one of her tags that makes her wonderful to read. And yessss, I would definitely love to thread her and Beth together given their current situations. I actually have a private EP up in Beth's journal for August if you wanted to tag her there!

Rey loves Poe. I love the rapport we've given them and the way that Poe works to give Rey some of the luxuries and treats that she hasn't had before and you also explore the fact that Poe went through some REALLY AWFUL SHIT in canon and what kind of after effects that might have one someone and it gives so much to him.

Oh, we need to thread Courfeyrac and Kate together again, because their shared sense of mischief can only be a very, very good thing for this city, RIGHT? Seriously, though, he's a delight and I've loved threading with him and reading his tags and seeing him with his canon mates.

Oh Thomas. He and Tris are overdue, I feel like. There's so much goodness in him and the way he cares about and loves people is just so great.

We've only threaded once and Wanda is still so nervous about how they got off on a bad foot but it's obvious how much you love Peggy in the way you write and consider her story <3

THE WORST. JUST TERRIBLE.

Honestly, I don't get through a single tag between Magnus and Luke that doesn't overwhelm me with feelings, because their friendship is so important to Luke and the more we get to explore it and develop it, the happier I am. Canon gave us so little of them and I've always felt there had to be more and you give me so much as a player. The Magnus you brought here is well rounded and interesting and deep, even if Luke does want to smack him sometimes. :3

I haven't had a thread with Porthos in ages and that's terrible. He's another one where the fact that you love him just shines through and you find all the best parts of him. Also I still love his early threads and his inability to deal with modern lighting and adding a dimmer switch to the apartment. It was just such a smart, fun little detail to his narrative.

Man, I am so so glad you volunteered to let Damen find himself in her bed on his first day. I hadn't really had a chance to thread with her before then and I absolutely LOVE their growing friendship already. There aren't many female characters in Damen's canon and he doesn't have a very solid relationship with ANY (not counting the woman that fucked him over) and I'm absolutely loving the opportunity for him to have that now. She's so fascinating too, for both Damen and myself. Ugh, I love her.

I know absolutely nothing about Party Poison's canon but I really, really love the character. I love that despite being from such super different canons he and Jesse can geek out about music and movies together. I like how you still managed to make Party feel extraordinary even in the most ordinary of circumstances. You do a brilliant job of making him seem full of youthful enthusiasm and energy but also the wisdom of someone who has been through so much and come out the other side.

You are SO GOOD with Jack. His is such a specific voice and a very specific type of story telling and you've adapted that with what looks like incredible ease. His tags are so moving and I love that you brought him here and that I get to thread with him. He and Kate were fun, but he and Andrea are KILLING ME O M G. So many tears, I can't even deal. I'm really excited to see where it all goes.

Holy crap, I can't even deal with how much Reese is going to be baffled/delighted by her and I AM SO EXCITED. I don't know her canon at all, but I've seen loads of gifs and she's always struck me as being so great. Now you're bringing that here and I can hear such a perfectly distinct voice in her tags. It's wonderful.

All kudos at once. This may get long.

YOU'RE SO CUTE I WANT TO PUNCH YOU, ERIC BITTLE.
The most fucking delightful human being on the planet, says the New York Times. I remember we had a conversation about how when playing Peter/Bitty respectively, we just thought about being the best versions of ourselves. It seems like you know Bitty. His voice comes off so natural and he is an actual delight.

GET OUT OF MY FACE, FREDDIE BAXTER.
Frankly, I don't find Freddie to be very fair. There is no way you should be able to do his smoothness justice in just words and Jesus fuck, you do. Freddie comes alive to me with every tag. I can't imagine he's an easy one to play, especially since he so often takes the path of most resistance, but I believe you manage very well. Peter is suitably flustered and I look forward to seeing wtf happens.

KICK MY GAY ASS, RONAN LYNCH.
How can you possibly play this little fucknut so perfectly? Every time you express your dissatisfaction with the way you play Ronan, I am truly baffled. When I began researching Gansey, I heard a lot that he was very complicated to play. And honestly, I always thought it was Ronan that would be the toughest to play. He is intentionally erratic, which sounds like an exhausting combination, but you write him like he's there. Where some players might have chosen to use "what do you expect, it's Ronan?" as justification for his every unpredictible action, you have a motive behind each one. Sometimes it's trivial and sometimes it's warranted and that roll of the dice is SO RONAN that I must clutch at my bosom. There is no one else I would want to be my Ronan. Thank you for helping me get him here with your spectacular Ronan.

WHAT I'M SAYING, JOY:
Is that I fucking love you. You think you've tricked me into liking what you like, but the reality is twofold: 1) you like some really fucking good shit and, 2) you've taken the time to get to know me. Your recs are right on because you've taken the time to personalize them. That's not trickery, that's giving a shit. We have the fangirl connection and we should Goddamn well use it. After like 10 years of barely talking, we talked for a few weeks, and then you graciously carted me around Denver for a week. Who the fuck is that amazing? You'll never be boring to me, lady. You're a lifeline. <3

Scott, you're perfect. Don't ever change.

Also I want more Jessica in my life. She is perfect and snarky and brilliant and I hope to bring Rick back one day so they can drive each other nuts <3

I WOULD LIKE TO SECOND ACTUAL SUNSHINE CHILD

She is such a delight and I love threading with her. She is so pure and Peter loves her

I love Jess. I could list off the things I love about her but it would pretty much just be a rundown of general features. Highlights: wit, sass, intelligence, spider-personing. I jonesed for threads with her before I even had Pete and I'm so glad that I reasonably have excuses to bother you for them now.

I definitely need to bug you for more threads, but I wanted to say the limited interaction I've had with Newt was amazing and sweet. He is an interesting and complex character and I appreciate what you do with him.

I sort of love that I got to antagonize poor Alec twice in a week or so via two very different pups. I'M SORRY ALEC YOU'RE JUST SO PRETTY WHEN YOU'RE IRRITATED.

Honestly though, this kid is so fascinating and so wonderful and I'm delighted he's around. I love that you don't shy away from my pups poking at him in their own ways and I appreciate how genuine and honest Alec's reactions always are. He's fantastic and I'm so excited to bug him even MORE. :D

Tony is smart and you write him thus, while keeping in mind the many, many vulnerabilities that he has and isn't fully ready to acknowledge yet. Sorry he's gotta deal with Pete, not sorry.

UGH SPENCER STOPPIT

I'm sorry I haven't hit you up for more threads. Assume Peter calls Spencer like 3 times a week and chats with him.

Spencer was the first person Peter really talked to in the city and he was a PERFECT LITTLE SNOWFLAKE. I appreciate all of the thought you put into his tags and how complex and sweet and AWKWARD he is. <3

Followed Dorian long before my run this time around and he's still fantastic. Like I said elsewhere, yours makes me want to revisit the game.
