[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!

Alec Lightwood

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

I know none of mine really thread with Alec (I never quite know who will work) but I just want to drop a note -- Alec is so great. I know nothing about the canon really, but it's so easy to know exactly what his personality is like from his threads and to get what's going on with him. It's hard to play a stoic/internal character and have them KEEP that in an RP and you do it super well. I lurk the hell out of his threads, esp with Magnus. Shiiipp iitttt.

I wish a bard would write a song called The Friendship of Peter and Alec. I would listen to it every day.

Alec Lightwood is one of my favorite characters from that canon and you write him so wonderfully! Your Alec is fully realized and so complex; you have his voice down to an art. I can hear his deadpan in my head when I read your threads. I loved getting to thread both Tessa and Jason off of him. And his relationship with Magnus is so beautiful.

I love Alec so much, you have no idea. What I think you do so artfully well with him is give him such depth of emotion, such a range of energies, in spite of the fact that Alec often chooses to keep so much of that contained on the exterior. And I love how broadly you cover the different types of relationships that he builds, from the tumultuous and passionate romance with Magnus, to a relationship that's practically based on stability and support with Jack. I may not know his canon, but Alec is definitely a character that you've made me deeply invested in.

get the fuck out

no but I don't even know what to say because your Alec is so 100% perfect. You've been able to do so much more with him than CC ever allowed and I'm so glad that Alec gets to be in a more than capable writer's hands for once lmao. I love everything about his relationship with Izzy and I love his threads with Magnus and I love his threads with Luke and everyone else that he's come to accept are his new family. I LOVE HIM A LOT OKAY.

My precious dearest asshole Alec who I love. His friendship with Baz is one of my favorite things in Darrow, even when they're fighting because they're both so stubborn and bullheaded. I'm so glad you tagged Baz way back in the day~ and that they're bros, and that's why I keep tagging every Alec toplevel even when we've just had another thread that didn't even go anywhere because I'm obsessed. XD

Every time I see your Alec and then Magnus IG, I start thinking about taking up Shadowhunters and I have VERY STRONG OPINIONS of CC, so that's a huge vote of confidence and amazement at both the way you play Alec, but also the 'ship.

[alltheircrimesarejust]

You don't shy away from how brusque Alec can be but you still find ways to make him compelling and easy to thread off, which takes so much skill honestly.

Your Alec is such a wonderful and complex character. Everything you do with him is phenomenal and I love reading all of his interactions with such a wide group of people and I feel so privileged to play opposite you/him.

[rhythmsextion]

Haha, I just realized THREE of my pups have had the pleasure of threading with Alec and it STILL DOESN'T FEEL LIKE ENOUGH. I love how every single relationship is so different too! Ugh, precious grumpy kitten. I'd love to thread him and Ronan again sometime just to see if Ronan will eventually warm up to him. (Though, MAN is he still ticked at Magnus for Halloween.) And, obviously, you can feel free to assume Freddie gives him a nice, appreciate look everytime they happen to awkwardly meet in the hall. :D
