[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!

Oh, Tony. The relationship between Tony and Nikita is so much fun because she's SO VERY UNIMPRESSED.

You play his insecurities with just the right note. You clearly care a lot about him, and it comes through in every tag.

[shieldmaiden_rohan]

Dorian makes me want to play DA:I. And I'm not a gamer. At all.

[shieldmaiden_rohan]

All the heart eyes emojis from me and from Eowyn.

[shieldmaiden_rohan]

Man, I love how much Nikita does not like Kav. It's the best. You play him so well.

[womanofvalue]

♥ I'm LOVING her thread with Lois so far and I want them to be super buds because they could totally take over the world by force.

[shieldmaiden_rohan]

You know that meme with the cinnamon roll that was going around and made even less sense than your average meme?

That's Bitty.

I knew about your Derek before I joined this RPG, and so I feel a little protective of you and of him even though from group consensus *waves at comments* you can see I don't need to be.

He's just lovely. He's very Derek, but he's also clearly grown up and grown with Darrow, and you blend the two really well without dragging him OOC.

It's been such a nice journey to see him go from grumbly and lonely to ...well probably still grumbly...and smitten, and also I will probably always cherish that sweet wolfy-playing-in-the-snow- he did with Blue, because it's the cutest thread EVER.

Basically I have lots of feels about Derek Hale, and your Derek Hale moreso. <3

[shieldmaiden_rohan]

I just finished reading Imprudence and it reminded me of how perfect your Alexia is.

I like her and Sam. They get along oddly well (probably because of the whole shifter thing).

[somepoorsoul]

uuuughhhhhhhh god I love their relationship to the moon and back. Thank you for the kind words, my dear!

[shieldmaiden_rohan]

Things I never expected: Eowyn and Derek Hale being friends. I really appreciate how you balance his wolf characteristics and his human ones, because it's a challenge not to let one overshadow the other.

[shieldmaiden_rohan]

You could play a Disney princess as being all cotton candy fluff, but your Rapunzel is real and nuanced.

[somepoorsoul]

D'awwwwwwwww, I feel like I never know if I'm striking a good enough balance between his canon personality and something that takes into account all that has happened in Darrow, so I am glad that something is working. :D Thank you! And thank you for continuing to put up with my jerk, who is 99.999% internal monologue and alcohol.

Adaline

[shieldmaiden_rohan]

How do I love Adaline? Let me count the ways. I love that you built her friendships in the city with so many different people, and I love that now she has Ellis and those friendships are shifting. She's just so warm and natural without being a pushover.

And Sam thinks she's neato, too, and is glad they're still friends now that Ellis is here.

[shieldmaiden_rohan]

I love reading Han's threads. He practically walked off the Falcon every time he talks.

I gotta figure out a way to introduce him to one of mine.

[thepaladin]

ughhhhhh thank you SO MUCH, this means so very much, especially coming from you, man. Because you are also awesome. :D And omg, originally I just wanted to have Combeferre make a joke about R working in politics, but now it has to happen. YES LET'S THREAD IT. Once Grantaire brings it up, Courfeyrac will never, ever let him forget it. :D

(also, I swear, we need to find some magical way to hang out. It would be glorious. SOMEDAY we will be in the same place.)

[shieldmaiden_rohan]

I just love Kili, and I am so glad you're one of my extended canonmates.

[thepaladin]

YES YES YES. Kate and 'rac just need to hang out, and gossip, and concoct ways of epically trolling Marius forever.

[shieldmaiden_rohan]

Biffy! I just finished reading Imprudence and loved his character progression there. I can see how your Biffy fits into that progression so well.

[shieldmaiden_rohan]

Tris and Nikita are my stabby friendshipOTP. I know from personal experience how hard it can be to play a character that hides so much of themselves, but you walk that tightrope very very well.

[thepaladin]

But see, what makes Courfeyrac extra wonderful to play is having your Marius to play off of! :D Ugh, I love exploring their friendship, and continue to be so tickled that you enjoy it as much as I do. Thank you, darling! <3

[shieldmaiden_rohan]

So I am a total AC fan, and when I saw that you had reserved Peggy I did a little dance in my chair. Every thread has been so wonderful to read, and I hope someday she gets a Daniel!

[formicine]

I am too lazy to answer this with the most appropriate pup's journal, but: man, though I have not read his canon nor do I have a clue about it, I love Harley. I hope we get a chance to thread again soon, because this awkward, internal, traumatized artist boy you've got here has definitely captured some piece of my heart and wandered off with it.

I really salute you, too, for playing a broody character. It's hard to commit to someone who's not sure of himself with people in an RPG, but he's super interesting and has a very strong narrative voice and it feels worthwhile to draw him out of his shell.

[shieldmaiden_rohan]

Porthos and Nikita is one of those things that I never thought would happen, but I am so glad it did. He's so good for her, and I hope she's good for him.

I saw a bit of his canon recently and thought your Porthos was absolutely spot on. I'm looking forward to his further arc with the new baby.

[shieldmaiden_rohan]

My favorite thing about Poe is BB-8. It can't be easy to have a sentient robot in every thread. I can see myself feeling like I just typed beep beep boop five times already, but you give BB-8 just as much personality as Poe has.

[shieldmaiden_rohan]

I loved Julie before, I love Julie now, I will possibly love Julie forever. :)
