[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!

Henri Combeferre

[pontmercyfriend]

Combeferre is such a lovely character. He keeps all the Les Mis pups honest. You've really taken a smaller character from such a vast canon and brought him to life in such a lovely, brilliant way. And you also make Combeferre more than simply the voice of reason of the group; you play out all of his passions and all the details that excite him about life. I love that you play both Combeferre and Courfeyrac at once; their voices contrast each other so nicely, and yet, I cannot imagine trying to deal with both voices at the same time myself. It's amazing how well you balance them, along with Athos. I've loved getting to develop an actual friendship between Combeferre and Marius; they've come so far from the Great Bonaparte Incident. XD

Raven Darkholme

[pontmercyfriend]

Your Raven is so, so wonderful. She is such a beautifully realized character; the way you care about her shows in how perfectly you capture her voice. Her personality resonates in each of her tags. She's a strong woman and she possesses such a steel to her. It is so wonderful to read her threads and see how she interacts with the world and people around her. I loved her friendship with Ophelia so much; I miss threading them all the time. But I'm also really enjoying her friendship with Marius, too. In both cases, I love getting to read your lovely writing. <3.

Jack Wilder

[floozyfacade]

Ugh, precious baby, Jack. Lula speaks for us all when she says, "Have you seen that man's face?" Danny will never say it, but he's so glad to have Jack around, even if he just keeps acting like a dick. I really enjoy their dynamic, and Danny slowly, slowly learning that Jack is, you know, ALSO an adult and a capable, talented human being, and also secretly being ready to protect him if it were ever needed. And Sally is super into him and his hotness and the fact that he's a pretty nice dude, which she badly needs more of in her life. I like watching him find his footing in this new world.

Isabelle Lightwood

[deflectere]

All I know is that if Isabelle wasn't in Darrow, Alec would not be as contented and settled as he is right now. She's his rock, his confidante and the person that he thinks is the strongest, most together person in the family. He honestly believes she's the best of the Lightwoods.

She's just so good to tag against because she doesn't take Alec's shit and you never let her lose that edgy dangerousness that Isabelle SHOULD have.

Then, I just love seeing that softer side that she gets to show with Billy. Alec might not show it but he really wants them to be happy together because the girl without a parabatai (WTF CC) deserves someone who loves her so much.

Nathan Drake

[notonemoment]

I absolutely adore your Nate. His voice is perfect, and it's lovely to see him even just AROUND. I'm so glad that he and Steve have met and I hope they become friends, because playing with you is LOVELY.

Matthew

[rancho_weirdo]

MATTHEW MY LOVE. I know nothing about his canon but I don't even care, Dutch adores him. She just loves his sweetness and his compassion and she just wants to hug both he and Matthias separately and at the same time. She loves them both and that's just a new thing for her, finding two people to love who love her back and who might not hurt her (both physically and emotionally) like her last sort of boyfriend.

Sweet, sweet Matthew.

Raven Reyes

[pontmercyfriend]

Your Raven is perfection. Her voice resonates so well and so clearly through her tags! I love how strong she is and how much of a survivor she is, given everything that she's experienced and lost in her life time so far. She is a badass, but she also is really kind. She walks that thin line of vulnerability and strength, and it makes reading her tags such a delight! I am so thoroughly enjoying her friendship with Marius; they're both very different personalities, but they get along so well! I'm glad Marius has a friend who can get him to try new things, something he isn't always great at.

James Potter

[pontmercyfriend]

James! I know we're still threading his debut but oh my God I love your James so much already. You've taken a background character and really breathed a life of his own into him. I feel like I could be reading James' life story from the brilliant way you write him. He's such a strong character, but with such a vulnerability, coming as he does from the night of his own murder. I really can't wait to see what else he gets up to in Darrow, especially with Sirius!

Steve Cortez

[afabulouskilljoy]

STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE.

You know I absolutely love you, Karaboo, as a person and as a friend and YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOUR WRITING? I have been casually obsessed with it since, y'know, not long after we met. I'm super excited for Steve here? And I'm really glad he's getting close to some of my pups and yes all of the things forever.

The Baker's Wife / Greta Baker

[pontmercyfriend]

I love Into The Woods and have many feelings about Greta but oh my goodness your Greta is amazing! You have totally gotten me to see her in a new light and now she's one of my favorite characters from the musical. I love the way you write her; you really capture all of her complexities and allow her to flourish as a human being. I love how distinct her voice is, and I also love her determination to get back to her loved ones. I love her determination, period. She is such a beautiful, wonderful character and you really make her shine with your tags. I'm so excited to thread her with Marius, and I can't wait to see more of their friendship!

[wildmage_daine]

Daine Sarrasri

[afabulouskilljoy]

I love LOVE your Daine, you've really captured her voice and she is an absolute delight to write with. I'm so excited that she and Thomas have really seemed to hit it off, I would have never expected it but it works so well!! And I'm so glad for Amalthea to have friends that understand her a little better than your average person.

[simplesam]

Sam Merlotte

[floozyfacade]

I was really glad to get a chance to thread off of Sam the other month with Katie. It was a really sweet thread and I loved it. Sam is such a considerate, thoughtful guy, and it was fun (well, as much as a thread like that can be, I guess) to see that caretaking side of him come out.

[shieldmaiden_rohan]

Eowyn of Rohan

[sicparvasmagna]

Eowyn is such a sweetheart. I'm so glad I get to thread with her. She's so delightfully friendly and kind but so strong and you write her surviving everything that comes at her so well. I love that she hasn't lost anything of what makes her a fantastic character in canon, you've managed to encapsulate it all as well as let her breathe new life in Darrow, it's wonderful

[femmejosephine]

Nikita

[womanofvalue]

I really love Nikita's spot in game and the relationships she's developed. Her unwillingness to trust makes it even better for people like Porthos to try and crack and I really love getting to read and play off her so much!

[bells_will_ring]

Erasmus

[someones_monster]

Aw I just adore Erasmus! He's so sweet and he deserves freedom and also friendship and nice things. :) I'm glad Noah can help with at least one of those things, and I apologize in advance for Nicaise.

[mynameiscassie]

Cassie

[wildmage_daine]

We haven't threaded yet, but I really enjoy reading your Cassie tags! It's been ages since I read Animorphs, but you really capture the tone of the books and I love your use of breathless teenage adventure exclamation points.

Also, I really want her to meet Daine one of these days! I bet they'd hit it off, for obvious reasons. XD

Sam Flynn

[andhiswife]

I have a bunch of emotions about this poor sweet hero and it is entirely your fault so I hope you're proud of yourself. o9

In all seriousness, after having seen the movie, I can especially appreciate all of the development you've put into him and how far he's come from his canon departure point. He TRIES SO HARD and is SUCH A GOOD. I'm always thrilled to see a Sam tag in my inbox, and I am looking forward to our assorted planned shenanigans so much. ♥ FAMBLY!
