[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!

Joseph Kavinsky

THIS FUCKER RIGHT HERE. Okay, so, you know exactly how I feel about Kavinsky. You know that I was initially super salty that you were apping him because I had wanted to app him and never gotten around to it and then you DID and you TAGGED NEWT and the rest is like some epic fucking love story, man. I love them together. I love his friendships with Jack and Dee. I love reading him threading with other characters. They are one of my very, very favourite ships that I have ever, ever played out and they're the reason that you're one of my very dearest friends and if you'd have told me I'd have JOSEPH KAVINSKY to thank for that, I never would have believed you.

But here we are, man.
I love him. I love you.

Ugh, this SHITHEAD.

I know Ronan and I give him a lot of grief for being THE WORST, but I genuinely love that you had the guts to bring him in at all and do what you have with him. He's never going to be Ronan's favorite person, but I LOVE that you're taking him from a canon where he's basically only meant as a foil and fleshing him out to be a full-fleshed growing person. You're not afraid to keep him vulgar and abrasive while exploring how fundamentally broken he is and I love that. I'm eager to see how he grows further and where you take him.

I love tagging Kavinsky. The interactions are so fun and he works so well with just about any type of character. He seems like a super complicated character in terms of motivations and such but you handle him with aplomb and I'm in awe of how fantastic you write him.

WHAT THE FUCK JOSEPH KAVINSKY HOW DID YOU MAKE ME LOVE THIS ASSHOLE SO MUCH? How did you make this guy sympathetic without totally flanderizing away all of his traits like...he is still 100% the fucked up dreaming boy of the books but you've figured out what he needs to thrive and be a person and ugh. UGH. HOW DID YOU DO THIS TO ME???

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.

Frenemies for life though.

I really do have this soft spot for Kav, I love his voice and how you write him and how he interacts with other characters. Occasionally I want to fight the other Raven Boys BECAUSE THEY ARE SO MEAN TO HIM. And I know they have totally valid reasons for that.

But Kav <3 trash baby I love you.

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

Your Kavinsky is amazing, and I always have tons of respect for you even bringing him into the game. Initially I was a little wary of you or anyone else playing him, because fanon for Kavinsky is so "this previous wooby how dare you dislike him", and also because he's a character whose actions hit really close to uncomfortable things for me so Kavinsky stans tend to make me uncomfortable.

And with him being relatively content these days, it would be easy to GO precious wooby, but you never do. He's a complex, abrasive, defensive dreamer, with a lot of vulnerability and a lot of reasons for who he is. There are some things that he can't really defend, and some beautiful things about him that his haters would be pressed to even explain.

I love that you've taken a side character and fleshed him out and given him a life. He's always amazing to watch. And I'm glad you get that the shit Blue especially gives him is not really shit we're giving you. <33
