KUDOS THREAD

[Tibby ♠]

I think proboards killed the actual kudos system but I thought I would bring this thread back because I like the warm fuzzy feelings it provides.

SO I will just start out with a couple random kudos I want to throw out there -

KUDOS TO Shini for all the amazing and hilarious board descriptions for the overgrown parts of the school, I had to go and click on every single board because I wanted to make sure I didn't miss any in the sub-boards.

and giant kudos to everybody for the giant mood boost that this whole revival has been over the past couple weeks, I missed playing with you all so much and I'm so excited to have this back in my life!

[Shini]

Kudos to Rem for LITERALLY EVERY WORD IN EVERY JESSE POST SHE HAS WRITTEN they are glorious

[Mordred Le Fey]

Kudos to Quinn for some absolutely beautiful writing and dealing with some difficult issues that I lumped on her in the Mordred threads ❤️

[Cazaril]

Kudos to Fate for literally being Judy from Zootopia! you're writing always makes me smile!
And Kudos to Charley's Mordred who was able to make me want to cry with one sentence this morning.

First, I wanna make the super cheesy starting generalized "thanks to everyone who put this together." I thoroughly missed having a writing community, and while I sometimes feel like the odd one out, I am enjoying just hanging out with everyone far more than I would've anticipated. I told my sister when I visited her that it's like this big old happy group of close friends, which is literally the perfect sort of RPing community. So thanks for that.

More specifically:

Thanks to those who are taking the Lorelei craziness and running with it. I got a little jealous about not being involved in 2nd gen, and I realized Lorelei was pretty much my best shot. But I absolutely love seeing the reactions and spin-offs that happen and just everyone taking the plots and building with them, whether it be the text reactions, the taunting, the duels, the various heavy stuff. It's all brilliant and really awesome stuff to read, let alone be a part of (and kudos to Shini and Charly for sort of starting a lot of that with Meredith x Mordred; I'm not sure I've ever shipped a pair of chars that weren't my own so much).

So thanks specifically to Rem for saying it was cool for me to write Lorelei, hopefully you're enjoying the result.

It feels almost like playing favorites to pick out chars, since there's just so many good ones. So many of these chars have this level of realness, whether it be Aiden's stoic drama or Costin's puffed up magnificence or Mordred's inner turmoil or Meredith's bookish adorkableness or even Jesse's awkwardness. (Why yes, those are mostly 2nd gen; right now that's where all the action is xD ). I know I personally loved writing Lorelei opposite Mordred for that Duel thread. Everything about that surpassed expectations and we're still playing out what happens.

Olaf is special and adorable and perfect. Will needs to be hugged by everyone. I absolutely adore Gwen even when she's flirting with Gaston. We need 200% more Merlin x Arthur. I cannot wait to thread with Della.

now put babies in my first gen already; i need moar ships <3

First of all. Kudos to Shini for doing like 90% of the mod work. I feel like I'm never around enough to be good at being a mod, so I'm so grateful to Shini for picking up the slack.

Kudos to everyone who have been so patient with me. I work a full time and part time job and have crazy rehearsals and a boy so free time is often hard to come by and I'm grateful to everyone who doesn't mind when replies are slow or when I pick one muse over the others to reply to.

Special Kudos to all the second gen fun times. You've all made me laugh out out loud and hurt me with the feels and that is so amazing. I love writing with all of you and reading what you all write with other people.

Charly Morgana Le Fey has hurt me on emotional level and she deserves praise for it. -cries and cheers at the same time-

I feel bad for liking this... but I like it.

And Kudos to Soph for her wonderful Cazaril who's pain makes me feel horrendous for being such an evil bitch.

[William Fenris]

Errr can we all love on Gwen in the mother hen thread in second gen because there are so many feels. what a fantastic thread <3 You guys rock!

[Fate]

“I watched Star Wars for you.”

Never were more romantic words spoken.

all the Moredith lurv; so glad I get to write a literal fangirl about this ship <3

[Fate]

Ok, can we just take a moment to acknowledge how seriously on fire the plots are right now?

In the first gen, we've got:

A heated Headmaster debate through voting that's led to new spotlights, plot tension, aaaaand....

...a kidnapping plot that Charly pulled off (I'm assuming with Rem, but who knows with Charly). That's connected to just about everyone else on the site and making things oh so much fun.

Oh, all built around a bonfire to celebrate.

Also a cast announcement that led to a Headmaster-off. Because having Grease Live with a nearly perfect cast wasn't enough: we needed to have drama around the actual casting.

And that's just the broad stuff in first gen.

I'm constantly amazed at how well we're plotting together and how natural everything feels. I said it before, but there's more great plot movement going on here than I've seen in six months on some other sites, and it's great. 

Also, has anyone else noticed that 1st gen has all this political intrigue around a modern fantasy, while 2nd gen it just pure high school drama and romance that's downright binge-worthy? So it's kinda pick your poison: write the kidnapping thread, then have a char battle alcoholism.

This is what good threading is like, people.

Sooo I've spent the past month and a half trying to think of what to even SAY here because I just love you guys all so much and there is SO much I could say...but honestly I'll just sum it up in one of my favorite gifs to use in the messenger:

This is a group of some of the most creative, funniest, most heartbreaking people I have ever had the fortune to meet, and I love you all.

Shoutout to:

• Fate, because HADES, SERIOUSLY, I am slain, we are ALL slain
• Quinn, because Hermes's recasting is still probably the most perfect friggin decision ever made about a faceclaim, I'm still laughing about it on pretty much a daily basis, and also, PRAISE THE RETURN OF THE VIDEOS
• Tibby for Milo in general
