Mun love time!

[powerdealer]

So I think all of us need a little self-esteem boost and motivation once in a while, and I've been wanting to do this for ages.


Step 1: Tag in with a list of you you play as. (And previous characters too if you want.)

Step 2: Also include one thing you like about yourself, because self-love is important and I greatly encourage it.

Step 3: Reply to other people with stuff you love about them.

This could be anything, personal or purely RP related. Maybe you really love how someone plays a character, or think they have great idea for plots, or had a really good time with a thread with them, or just think they're a really cool person. Say so!


Give each other some love!

I play Daine, Sunshine, Melanie, and Greta here. Previously, I've also played Jennifer Strange and Jodie Holmes/Aiden. And there's a bunch of randos that I occasionally throw into the dream parties, Sadie Doyle being the most frequent crasher.

I think I'm good at bringing in the ladies writing the necessary culture shock experienced by characters from vastly different time periods or social situations.

[etherthief]

U KNO WHAT ELSE UR GOOD AT BRINGIN IN

ME

super happy you got me to join cause this has been great

you are REALLY good at that culture shock thing and I am envious. see also: romantic tension. see also: FUCK U

ahem I mean

I like how many of our threads have spun in really interesting directions quite organically! SEE ALSO LOL REMEMBER THAT TIME WHEN IMAN LITERALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH FLU-RIDDEN GRETA LIKE WITHIN MINUTES

in conclusion ♥u♥

[andhiswife]

MY GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT. No but seriously I am so glad you are here.

Ahaha fun fact I got that culture shock compliment from you and just recycled it because talking yourself up is hard okay.

I really do love how quickly it went from like 'wouldn't it be funny if Iman hit on Greta once because she would be flustered lol flustered Greta' to 'wait whoops I ship it so hard???'

[etherthief]

yeah I know you did. ♥ I SAW WHAT U DID THERE. but it is a worthy compliment to recycle and take on yourself because that is a seriously challenging thing! be proud!!

[powerdealer]

You are REALLY GOOD AT BRINGING THE LADIES, and I really appreciate that because it's not always easy to find ladies that one wants to play, so I'm glad you're evening out the balance.

And they're SO COOL, too? Even if I haven't even threaded that much with you, there's been a lot of threads I've really enjoyed stalking, and watching shit develop between characters. (And you're right, the culture shock is amazing.) I rly want to fix that tho. Like give me some Greta up in here pls k thx.

And like, you're an amazing mod? You really rock the dream parties especially, for which I am extremely grateful. And I don't feel like I give you enough appreciation for the modliness, but you are awesome.

[andhiswife]

It definitely started out deliberate - I was like 'look at all these dudes, I should pick a girl' - but since then it's just become the automatic default for me. XD I try to think of guys I might like to RP and it's just like '. . .'

YES LET US THREAD MORE. Greta needs to add more people to her clutch of trashbabies. Though Seth might intimidate her a little since he is clearly an adult who could ostensibly take care of himself and not a sad skinny little thing like the others she's collected.

And thank you. u_u I do enjoy writing the dream parties! The crackier, the better.

[powerdealer]

Yeah I wish I worked like that too, but I kinda just have to wait for a character to grab me. Like that's why I found I just couldn't play Tara - I love her to bits, but she just didn't grab me sadly. Which is a shame cause she would've had some great threading with Sunshine. I'm sorry you didn't get a magic buddy, Sunshine. Ah well.

"clearly an adult who could ostensibly take care of himself" but clearly isn't, it's like you're describing me. He has PTSD, does that help with the trashbabyness? But rly just I feel like Seth would really like Greta, and he'll try very hard not to intimidate her. Also I just... wanna thread with Greta in general and Seth is the only one I have around currently SO.

Re: Carrie

[peeta_mellark]

You are good at ALL THE THINGS. Especially at describing characters' inner thoughts and reasonings. And at launching ships.

[andhiswife]

ALL THE SHIPS. I am a monster.

Also, Greta should meet Peeta. Peeta, how would you like a mother who isn't implicitly terrible.

[peeta_mellark]

He should! I should have him out and about more - especially now that the base is gone and he needs to find work somewhere with an actual paycheck - but I've had, like, zero desire to RP recently. Or write (I've a story due at the end of the month and I can't seem to write anything. Blech.)

[antitimelord]

yes absolutely bless you for bringing so many ladies. all the ladies. ladies are what this country (manhattan) needs. and for that, you have the gratitude of a nation (me)

[all_the_gifts]

[lottawork]

first of all your ladies are excellent. all of them. they have such distinct voices and they are all such a joy to thread with and I love them A BUNCH. you are the source of many of the most adorably squee-worthy threads I have ever seen

I also love you!! you're super nice and I know I'm a scared muffin most times but I'm getting more and more comfy talking to you about things because you're just so dang sweet and lovely.

Rush and Greta's weird relationship is one of my favorite things. I just love it with all its awkward complimentary adorableness. AWKWARD HAND-HOLDING. WEIRD COMFORTING. DRUNK TEXTING. MORE AT 11.

[andhiswife]

You just made me grin so broadly in this loud warehouse as I await the arrival of a bunch of dirty sad puppies. ♥ ♥ ♥

Also, I love threading with you! You have such a way with words and an incredibly impressive vocabulary, and you're so great at capturing your characters' physicality, especially. I love the way you describe your characters moving or gesturing or what have you, it's always beautifully concise and paints such a vivid picture in my head. Even not knowing their canons, I can always visualize them with such clarity; it's awesome.

I will GUSH MORE LATER because the puppies have landed!

ETA: Also I LOVE Rush and Greta and Iman, what an unlikely wonderful trifecta they are, and I REALLY LOVE the awkward rapport Rush and Greta are slowly building, and I am so excited for further developments. And just generally threading with you more! Because you're awesome!! And so are all your characters!

I am also always 100% down with AIM chats, even though I am often terrible at initiating them. You are a precious cinnamon roll and I would love to talk more OOC.

[lottawork]

N'AWWW WELL SAME TO U I'm bad at starting AIM talks but I love chattin' with you and threading with you and whatnot!

WHICH REMINDS ME (~inelegant segue) we need to get on Rush and Daine's woofdog proposal because I also treasure their relationship. Daine is such a sweetheart but she takes zero shit because up with that she will not put.

[i_jones]

wow i never realized that I play all dudes, I am offended by myself. I really like your dedication. you are on top of threads in a way i can never be and even when I am slow as butts you are always patient and tagging back. which I really appreciate because I can lose my train of motivation so easily during downtime.

[all_the_gifts]

♥

Sometimes slow as butts is exactly what you need, though, because it's hard to keep up with anything when shit gets too hectic. And I love threading with you; it's always a good time and worth the wait!

[theoldgirl]

Ladiesssss

Ok so Daine is an absolute joy, so kind and no-nonsense and sometimes slightly terrifying. I recently reread the thread where Daine takes the TARDIS flying and was reminded of how low-key yet interesting their relationship is! And I'm very very regretful that I dropped the thread with Callie meeting Daine because that was so precious and I'm sure they would have been the best of friends. And oh my gosh how much did I love that Greta did the whole "it's bigger on the inside??" spiel with the TARDIS, how perfect, I wasn't even IN that thread but I just got a particular kick out of that, haha.

also holy shit how is anyone so excellent at Sadie Doyle, every word is spot on and I can hear her voice in every thread, it is almost ~spooky~

[johnny_truant]

RIGHT????? IT'S NOT OKAY how good she is at Sadie because I have to KEEP UP as Frank and how can I follow that

[sadie_doyle]

Pshh you do JUST FINE.

[sadie_doyle]

Oh my gosh, I really love Daine and the TARDIS's relationship, too! It developed so organically, and I'm glad she got past her initial freaked-out 'what is this and WHY MENTAL INVASION WTF' stage. She and Callie should still definitely hang out. It would be so easy to arrange what with Daine still swinging by the TARDIS on presumably a pretty regular basis. Girl's gotta change somewhere.

And I'm glad you enjoyed Greta's reaction to the TARDIS. I think she's the first character of mine who really had the opportunity to do the whole triple-take, so I seized it!

And OH GOSH THANK YOU. Sadie is tricky, so that is a huge compliment, and I'm just going to be over here hiding behind my cat.

[stronglikebear]

So normally it's weird to get into a canon after becoming familiar with the characters through RP, but then your Sadie Doyle was just like the real thing so it wasn't weird at all.

Also, thank you for becoming our third mod. Thank you so much for that. You've put so much time and work into this game and it really, really shows. You keep us on track, and you have such fun dream party ideas that I can't even.

Also also, your characters are all so distinct and complex and I love them. Jennifer and Aglet roommate times were great while they lasted, and I enjoyed the weird friendship between Jodie and Andrew. I think you're good at introducing and sustaining a lot of really interesting characters, as well as knowing when to let go of an character to keep things fresh, which can be really hard. You're also really good at writing characters of different ages and maturity levels.

[wildmage_daine]

All this Sadie love is getting me misty. How dare you.

I'm so glad you dragged me into this, because it's been such a great time, and I've gotten so much awesome CR with you in particular. I mean gosh, Yuri was the first person Daine met and their relationship is still evolving; that's so awesome! (Which reminds me, I gotta tag that thread.) And it's been so creatively rewarding. I honestly don't know how much writing I'd be doing anymore if not for the RP, and I love being able to look at what all we've built here and NOT feel as if I've just been artistically stagnating. This game is just so valuable to me bawww.

It's tough to let characters go, it's true. And I remember you being really helpful the first time I did it; you were really good about putting things in perspective and reminding me that this should be fun and not stressful, and whenever I find myself similarly counseling people about such difficulties, I'm really just parroting or paraphrasing you.

[mamasgirl]

I haven't played with you yet but I'm so looking forward to Lilly interacting with a few of yours, especially!

[wildmage_daine]

Yes!! I am incredibly excited for Melanie to meet her, because educating feral children is her jam. Seriously, she's going to find Lilly's behavior so familiar, it will be a weird sort of comfort to her. They'll just need to establish firm 'no biting' rules because Lilly, you do not want what Melanie has.

And Daine and Greta, gosh. Pretty much all my characters except for Sunshine are gonna really want to help her. Looking forward to it!
