[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!

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

Holy Jesus, this is a lot. Ugh, you are too good to me and MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING. Seriously, I just want to hold this to my bosom and never let it go.

I'm so so pleased you like Bitty and that you read the comic and like it, too. And I'm sorry for Freddie and his stupid face but I love that I have at least ONE PERSON in this game who is as utterly delighted by him as I am.

And ugh, Ronan. So, honestly, when I first decided to app him, I was TERRIFIED. He's so wholly unlike anyone I've ever played before and I wasn't honestly sure I could ever do him justice. Basically I had to tell myself that whatever my first instinct was in reaction to something, Ronan's would be the opposite. I feel like over the past nearly year and a half I've gotten better at REALLY understanding him, but I mostly feel like a giant fraud so these comments mean so so much to me. (Also, there's no way in HELL I could ever play Gansey. Ever ever. I'm in awe of you people who CAN and do it so so well.)

ALSO I LOVE YOU AND YOUR FACE AND I MISS YOU AND PLEASE COME BACK. <3333
