[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!

Ellie

[boywhoflew]

I have zero canon knowledge of Ellie beyond what is on her wiki profile but god, she is delightful. Her adaptation to a 'normal' society and building relationships is so so intriguing, and her wit, humor, and puns make her a unique voice that is so incredibly fun to read. I'm seriously looking forward to the day that I finally get a thread with her because I know it will be fun and probably hilarious.

also once ellie and punz get their shit together double date with sunshine detonator yes/yes?

Harley Altmeyer

[kaitmaree]

I could write essays about Harley Altmeyer and how wonderfully you play him. I feel like I tell you too often and yet not often enough at all. I'm so glad to be threading with him again, in some small way. His relationship with Abby will always be in my heart.

[selfmadevamp]

Katherine Pierce

[intheenditslove]

I need more of her and Philip promptly. They could cause so much trouble together and I've really loved threading with her, both with Philip and Luke. Their reactions are so different and she's SO MUCH FUN. Luke doesn't think so, but I do and so does Philip. XD

Carl Grimes

[intheenditslove]

Carl is so important to Beth and I love that he's here. When he ran off when Rick disappeared, that was pretty much the most perfect reaction ever. So in character, so like Carl, and even though Beth hated it, I loved it. XD

[floozyfacade]

Olive Penderghast

[kaitmaree]

When I think of you, I think of Olive. When I think of Olive, I think of you. You play her expertly from her canon and yet she is so uniquely her own (like everyone you play.) I just love her. I love the joy she brings to the game and to my characters.

[frozenfractals]

Elsa

[thetidebreaks]

I've been enjoying watching you map out her growth, which obviously only began in her canon. I think you're taking all the right steps, because honestly I've never seen you falter in how well you play her. What a great character. What a great ship she's part of. xD

[makeafairfight]

Cameron Winklevoss

[kaitmaree]

IDK what to say except that he's all at once a giant teddy bear and someone I would climb like a tree.

Oh, and you play him super well, I miss his relationship with Abby, and we need more threads of him and Mindy. HAS HE EVEN MET LEO?

[makeithome]

Gwen Stacy

[kaitmaree]

Can I just say that everyone you play is glorious? I feel like I sound like a broken record. But I love Gwen so much and I'm happy to be threading with her more, again. Her canon will always absolutely devastate me and seeing her live her life in Darrow uplifts me so much.

[triskehale]

Derek Hale 🐾

[kaitmaree]

look Mindy will always feel like she missed her shot w/him BUT it's okay because she's also super happy for him? And I love their friendship. And his dynamic with Leo is utterly adorable. I've only seen a couple episodes of TW but, as with all of yours, you play Derek so very well and threading w/him is always so much fun.

[okay_thislooksbad]

Clint Barton

[sayshazam]

I really like reading his threads and tagging with Clint. I think the Matt Fraction run really humanized him and you carry that over flawlessly. He seems like a real person and a superhero at the same time and you play both aspects of that so well.

[takingthelight]

Jamie Wellerstein

[kaitmaree]

AUGH I have a lot of feelings about Jamie. Writers are some of my favourite characters to play and read. His relationship with Raven is one of my favourite things at the moment, so thank you for those threads.

[eatmoreprotein]

Jack Zimmermann 🏒⛸

[deflectere]

Jack is such a gentle soul and I've loved how well he and Alec have taken to each other. They don't have to talk and the silences aren't uncomfortable and Alec's just glad to have a silent bro.

[thetoastofmayfair]

Sally Bowles

[deflectere]

One day, ONE DAY, I will find a good spot to tag Alec against her and see what happens because IT MUST HAPPEN AT SOME POINT.

[fatesdesign]

Rapunzel 🌼🌸🌺☀️

[kaitmaree]

ACTUAL SUNSHINE CHILD. I love her relationship with Kimmy, and our current thread with her and Mindy/Leo. I just want all of mine to be friends with hers, forever, because she's a delight and so is your writing.

[toanend]

Katie Clank

[intheenditslove]

I love Katie so much. You know how much I love Katie, how much Russell loves her. I'd never really planned on shipping him and then it happened so slowly and so naturally and now it just seems like the most obvious thing in the world. You write her beautifully and honestly being part of the journey she's made through Darrow has been so great. I've loved it all.

[wishesandsmoke]

Eden McCain

[thetidebreaks]

I have loved and will always love your Eden. She was a character with not enough canon and you gave her another chance and I have always liked watching where you take her, whether I have someone to thread off her or not. One of the best things out of Heroes tbh.

[super_kara]

Kara Danvers 🐤✈️💃🏼

[intheenditslove]

WHAT A CUTIE BALL OF SUNSHINE, I CAN'T.

I'm super excited for her and Beth to be friends, give me all the threads right now, THANK YOU.

[materialnik]

Jesper Fahey

[everymonstrousthing]

Jesper is PERFECT. You get his voice perfectly and he's so fun to play Kaz off. Hopefully, we can continue to develop their sort of grudging friendship. There's a reason that Kaz is apparently fond of him in canon and he's going to need that in the coming while. Basically, I love him, I love playing off him, and I can't wait to see where things go in Crooked Kingdom.

[humanresource]

Edgar

[jeongbro]

HELLO MYSTERIOUSLY BRITISH TRAIN TRASH BABY LET ME LOVE YOU.

Okay, first of all, the weird, possibly self-destructive """friendship""" between Edgar and Kavinsky is excellent and I'm gonna need me some more of that yes please and thank you.

Secondly, as an avid thread stalker, I would like to inform you that ev.er.y.thing that Edgar, Grantaire and Neil do together is! so beautiful! and pure! So thank you for that wonderful part of any given moment of my day.

[manwiththeknife]

Curtis Everett

[kaitmaree]

It was six thousand years ago but I really loved his debut with Ree. And I need someone else to thread with him, please, because (broken record) he is wonderfully played.

[madesomenoise]

Since I'm without laptop because BF stepped on it, I'm going to put all of mine into one comment because logging in/out is a pain in the arse on my phone!

So:

Beca Mitchell
Newt
Kaz Brekker
Adaline Bowman
Jack Vincent
The Girl/Sunshine Detonator

[intheenditslove]

I need more threads with all of yours. I love Beca so much, she and Kate need to hang out, and I think Kate and Newt should maybe meet at some point, given how much she adores Thomas.

We haven't threaded a ton lately, but I do read yours a lot and I also have the best memories of so many of our characters together. Nothing will ever beat our Odd and Stormy, but I have a real soft spot and great memories of Eostre and Lennox. <333

[sciencesaggressively]

Newt Geiszler

[kaitmaree]

I'm so glad that he and Mindy have a thread going at the moment. I just love him so fucking much. I love that dumb smile in that icon I'm looking at right now. I love that he's so dorky and hilarious but also has such a big heart. I love his relationship with Kate, it's so unexpected and yet so right.

[scruffy_looking]

Han Solo

[intheenditslove]

WHY DO I LOVE ALL YOURS SO MUCH? Probably because they're all great.

Han Solo is so iconic and I would be terrified to take someone like him on, but you just do it and he's perfect and I'm in awe of that. He's honestly the Han I've loved all my life and I can hear him in every single tag, especially when you use that icon. XD Luke is heart eyes over him in a fanboy way and Beth is just glad he's her friend. (And also she thinks he's cute but whatever, that's fine.)

[youfeelluckypunk]

Spencer Reid

[intheenditslove]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH WHAT DO I EVEN SAY HERE?

lmaooo seriously, though, what do I say that I don't say most days? Reid and Luke are my favourite and their threads make me ENDLESSLY happy and they're just the cutest and alternately make me want to cry and scream at how perfect they are. But besides that, I love Reid with EVERYONE. I love that he can counter Luke's tendency to get angry when he maybe shouldn't, I love him with Alec, I love seeing him with Magnus and T.J. and all the friends he's made. He's such a great guy and you play him so well and everything about him is perfect forever the end.

Ross Poldark

[intheenditslove]

:|||||| Ross Poldark, what a dumb jerk.

You've given Demelza her perfect husband, he's kind to her, but he's still cranky sometimes. He's good to his horse and his daughter and sometimes even Garrick, but he hasn't lost that rough edge that makes him Ross Poldark. I love that he's still prickly, but without being unfriendly, because that's exactly what I love so much about him in the show and in the books. I don't even know how you manage it, but you do it perfectly in every single tag.
