[meme] kudos

[citycouncil]

With the holiday season among us, it's time for a chance to spread the love, gush about all of our wonderful pups and players, and just be generally cool to one another. So, as promised, it's Kudos Meme time!

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.

This meme will stay open for as long as it needs to, so don't feel like you have to rush to comment. There's no such thing as too late to tag, so keep checking back for new additions!

Blue Sargent

[du_vallon]

I'd absolutely love to thread more with Blue and her optimism and positivity. I really loved her thread with Poe during the Halloween party and I think her being in Darrow helps offset the boys really well, to the degree that it would feel off and wrong without her and it makes their dynamic even more interesting.

Grantaire

[du_vallon]

I feel sad that I haven't had the chance to thread with Grantaire more given how incredible he is. You write your tags with such care and I always look forward to getting one because they're so engaging and filled with life. Grantaire, especially, is such a delight, and SO FUN.

Arthur Stuart

[thetinydemon]

I love this jerk so much. Not simply because he's one of my favorite fictional characters of all time (sorry, Curt) but because you play him so well. His is a quiet voice, I think. You really have to dig deep to get to the heart of him, and you've done it so completely, it's always kind of amazed me.

I've just loved getting to explore Curt's relationship with him organically, letting them get to know each other for real, and I really can't thank you enough for allowing me to do that.

-______-

What a butthead. Luke and I both love him so much. He's always incredibly interesting, because you're always working on something with him, and so much of it is internal, but you capture is all so clearly in the narrative that nothing is ever missed. I'm still so so SO glad you apped him. Luke wants to hug him always. :3

Jake Vickers

[du_vallon]

Oh my god, I LOVE him. I feel like you're going to get a lot of these from me because I really and genuinely love your characters. Your pace is awesome and makes me so happy, but you also give such high quality tags with various types of relationships between friendship and mildly shippy to slightly antagonistic in other cases. Jake and Lito are so fun and I love his person as a Will replacement in his life. Jake's so adorable with his tendency to say the embarrassing thing and be adorable.

Charlie Cooper

[du_vallon]

Oh look, number two! Coop is delightful and amazing and I absolutely adore him and Poe and their total bro-dom. I'm utterly in love with the fun they have and how much great interaction they have. One thing I also really like about our threads is that they're never really just small talk. They always have purpose and direction and are so great.

Thomas

[alltheircrimesarejust]

Ugh, this small BEAN. <3 To be honest, I had kind of a hard time with the Maze Runner books because I wasn't as grabbed but the way you play him makes it impossible to not be invested.

[rockabillyboy]

On my way out so all at once:

Newt
Kaz Brekker
Jack Vincent
The Girl/Sunshine Detonator

[afabulouskilljoy]

Jack is still the sunshine of Poison's life, his anchor and his safe place and they make me really happy? I never saw this ship coming but it's one of the sweetest, hottest, most wonderful I've had the privilege of being part of and I'm so glad that it helped US become friends. You are a delight and I'm so terribly happy to have you in my life ^^

You write all of your characters so wonderfully, their voices are so clear and so distinct and I LOVE threading with all of them.

I really want a thread with Kaz someday? He's your one character I don't have much experience with and that seems like a terrible oversight on my part.

[red17]

Dutch

[du_vallon]

Oh, look, as promised, the last one. I totally didn't expect to get Dutch and Peggy interaction and have it work like this. I so look forward to their antics and I really love reading about Dutch and her amazing world, and how you build it into the tags.

[bloodyanimal]

Spike

[intheenditslove]

I will have a lot of feelings about Spike for the rest of my life and that's mostly your fault. He and Andrea were out of the blue and totally unexpected and I loved them so much and love them still, even though she slipped away from me. Spike has such a distinct voice and you get it in every single tag. I'm really looking forward to threading with him again because he's wonderful and you're great with him.

[feel_myhell]

Curt Wild

[womanofvalue]

I really adore reading all of Curt's stuff. I mean, I absolutely 'ship him with Arthur, but I seriously love the way you write him and his place in Darrow. He's such a surreal-like character, but still works so well.

[fightyourcorner]

Thomas Barrow

[37hours]

Jack Newsome

[du_vallon]

Honestly, I feel like Jack is the most too good, too pure, wondrous character that we have here and you play him so well with his curiosity and openness and playing him at an age-appropriate level without him being too precocious. Genuinely, honestly, he's wonderful and I want Porthos to thread with him all the time. He's amazing!

[heretofight]

Tommy Conlon

[du_vallon]

I LOVE HIS PRECIOUS FACE and his friendship with Porthos. I also love how he gets to balance the friends and family that he already has, but that you also have such a grasp on him without having to shove him OOC to get to plots and interaction and basically, he's a good.

[numberhuang]

Jessica Huang

[iwasmore]

A U N T I E

I just love Jessica so much. We've only had a couple threads but STILL I just want her to adopt Noah. Also her thread with Matthias back in the day was hilarious to me, you just play her balance of realness and humor that we get from the show so well. <3

[swingatshadows]

Cindy Moon

[deflectere]

I'M SO EXCITED FOR COOP AND CINDY. It's been too long since he's been around someone who's smart enough and quick enough to possibly catch him and I love a possible cat and mouse relationship kinda deal. He needs something setting a fire under his ass when he does set off on his streak of robbing magical things from people.

[i_win]

Carl Grimes

[womanofvalue]

Carl and Kieren's weird friendship is something I adore. With both Beth and him, I really like seeing how coping with a unique situation walker impacts them and I really like how Carl is dealing with it, while still retaining who he is and his past experiences. We DO need to thread them more and also if I could help you injure him, I so would.

[manwiththeknife]

Curtis Everett

[intheenditslove]

UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH

You know I love Curtis and his friendship with Beth, but watching it slowly morph into more over the years, at first just on his side and then on hers, UGGGGGGH. That's all I've got. There is just so much potential for adorable, but also for the good and fun kind of drama depending on how they deal with certain things. ANYWAY HE'S THE BEST.

[myfavoritedream]

Neil McCormick

[intheenditslove]

Every single time we do this meme I'm seriously amazed by how long I've been threading with some form of Neil and it makes me feel old, but also it says so much about how you're able to keep a character interesting and compelling even after so much time. I've loved all the relationships mine have had with him in the past and he and Philip are SO MUCH FUN.

[okay_thislooksbad]

Clint Barton

[formicine]

I always want to play with Clint more and I never find a way to? I love him though. Also a fan of him NOT being Renner? Haha. I'm contrary.

[oldworldmonster]

Lestat de Lioncourt

[thegoldstandard]

Nick Clark

[a_littlefaith]

Beth Greene

[womanofvalue]

Bethie <333

I love the way she interacts and deals with Kieren and his condition and how open she was while still being wary of him. She's just as sweet and wonderful as on the show and I love that you don't just ignore the darker stuff. Kieren adores her as a friend and I love reading all her stuff, esp. her and Curtis.

[thelastfinalgirl]

Merry Barrett

[pontmercyfriend]

Merry is such a wonderful, complex character and you play her perfectly. I feel like I'm reading an extension of the novel when I read her tags. You really capture the essence of who she is and how the television show and its aftermath affected her life. You put so much effort into writing her blog posts here and it really shows; they are such a delight to read. I can't wait to see where you take Merry in the future.

[yourbestnightmare]

Greg Jenko

[floozyfacade]

Like I said last night, I super want to play off of Jenko at some point. I don't know how you get his voice so dead on, but whenever I creep on his threads, it's perfect, and I'm amazed by it when I'm not losing my shit laughing. I feel like it'd be super easy to have him go just flat comedy, but you don't lose sight of his being a three-dimensional person and I love him and sometimes I just went to pet his head and go, "Oh, buddy," so you're doing something right.
