[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!

R is great. I love how he knows what his problems are, even if fixing them isn't necessarily simple. Julie loves him.

Oh, he knows way too well what his problems are. I'm glad I've gotten to a place where he's dealing with them, even if it's not a smooth path.

He adores her right back! <3

I don't think I have sufficient words to sing the praises that I have for you, and for Grantaire. It has been ages since I've read Les Mis in any capacity, though every thread makes me want to go at it again. His and Krem's friendship makes me smile. His and Kavinsky's whatever the hell flirting? or whatever, being obnoxious tools at each other - also! so excellent. And watching your threads with R, Edgar and Neil have been an absolute delight. Please never stop being spectacular.

Eep! You're making me blush here stop that. (You should read Les Mis again, it's so good if you're not reading it FOR anything, to just take slowly and skip parts if you want and read the parts you like. AND I also do have a faithfully C&Pd document that's only and all mention of the Amis, which is kind of fun reading on its own, if you do enjoy excesses of Grantaire speechifying and terrible puns on names.)

I do love R's interactions with yours: Krem and he keep meeting at events but I'm delighted with them having become affectionate buddies. It's TONS of fun to be able to play a character off Kavinsky that delights in douchebaggy party throwing and dancing and flirting, and doesn't have any history to judge him on. And R's a flirt, so despite their respective taken-ness I doubt that'll change.

I will try to live up to this praise! (Especially since I, completely vainly, love knowing people are lurking/enjoying/having feelings about the threads I write XD and I lurk the HELL out of your pups' threads, so it's only fair.)

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.

<3333 I am SO glad you pestered me into apping. Ilu and I love tagging with you and yours, the spoiling is absolutely mutual.

This motherfucker. Ugh. YOU and HE are entirely to blame for me falling head over heels for George Blagden and I love and hate you both so much for it. I love R so much and I'm still so in love with those early threads of he and Ronan self-destructing together. And I'm SO pleased that they're both doing so much better now. It's been a long, long road for both of them, but man does R deserve some happiness. I'm glad he's finally getting some.

Also, that most recent Grantaire/Bitty thread was DELIGHTFUL. Thank you for teaching my kid a thing or two about polyamory, hee.

MWAHAHA I AM NOT SORRY AT ALL

Oh man, those early threads were amazing, and sometimes I just go back and chinhands at them. I'd love them to thread again now that they have some contentedness (although, right now having lost Gavroche and his friends also all having lost people to the whims of Darrow disappearances, he's pulling a bit of a Ronan: with people who love him but very volatile. Which could also be a good thread).

Hee! I am delighted by curious, concerned Bitty. He didn't get too far into just HOW okay he is with Neil, haha. Didn't want to scandalize the kid forever. It really touched Grantaire, he never expects caring (well, he's gotten to it with Edgar), but especially someone who's a friend of a friend really worrying if he's in a good place. Well. It's so Bitty, and it's so unexpected to R, and I'm sure they'll run back into each other.

The internet somewhat ruined Grantaire for me for a while but you have made me utterly adore him again. You truly capture the spirit of him, with all of his vices, complexities, and fondness for blonde revolutionaries. And you also really let the bright spots in Grantaire's life shine through, too. I have so loved getting to develop Marius' friendship with Grantaire with you; it's been such a delight and a wonderful time in doing so. I feel like my characterization of Marius has strengthened because of how well you write Grantaire.

Also I have so loved getting to know you through roleplay. <33.

Ha! I can see how: he's sort of the Tumblr darling and often in weird ways, and I'm glad I COULD make you love him again, because fandom burnout is a real thing! It means so much to me that you think I capture his spirit, because I really love him as a book character and sometimes I'm nervous about how well I'm doing with his voice.

So many <333s!

I absolutely adore your writing with Grantaire. You put such thought into the tags, but also the plot, and generally him and the characterization is so good and charismatic and I adore him to bits and pieces!

<333! I appreciate it so much, honestly :)
