Yes, it's here, it's here! It's like summer vacation, like the last day of school~!! Well, maybe not, but... Bit early this

We haven't threaded very much but I wanted to say I like what I see of Raphael so far. He's coarse without edging over into callous bastard territory, but you can still tell he has a little bit of a chip on his shoulders. Yet none of that gets in the way of how you manage to express his sense of justice at the same time. Within the movieverse this "begrudging team player with a high penchant for vigilantism" attitude of his was always a draw for me and I feel that here in the way you RP him. Hope to interact with him more in the future.

[harrysbackup]

We will certainly interact more, and thank you very much for the feedback. I still struggle with his voice at times, and at other times it seems to come out all on it's own. Thank you very much for the encouraging words.

Threading with Thomas and Harry is always so fun for Sammy, cuz the two act like polar opposites but are alike in so many ways, and definitely remind him of his relationship with Dean. I'm not too familiar with The Dresden Files, cuz I only ever had time to read half of the first book ><; but I still really like the way Thomas interacts with Sam so I look forward to more of it in the future..once I stop failboating. >>

Re: Chi

I know you're worried about Clow, but I think you still have his voice-- I think it's the actual posting and getting ideas that are problematic. Which happens. I like your plotting for next month so hopefully that will improve.

I would love to see more serious posts from both of them. I know that Clow is less serious than Clef, but from a bit of rereading I've realized he also kinda has a flair for drama-- I mean, the whole reason Syaoran was so determined to get the Cards was because Clow had written in a book that the world would freaking end if he didn't. So his dramatics aren't as overt as Yuuko's, but there's some potential to do more of them. And they always amuse me. |D Which takes away from the serious but alkdjfla idk I'm just trying to give some ideas. You know ilu.

You make this game better. ♥

[i_themagician]

Yeah, I'm hoping that having ideas and posts planned out ahead of time - kind of like I used to do when I first joined (except I kept everything in my head) - will really help. It'll also guarantee a few posts that aren't for curses, because I always feel really bad when I just barely make activity and all four posts are curse posts.

He does! I have a lot of trouble not making it tongue and cheek because gjkdafl how do you even. But with the clock and the counting down to the end of all worlds thing kinda going on, I should make room for more dark posts. I have all these srs icons that I never get to use! BUT YES BRILLIANT IDEA. Ilu too~

No u. ♥

I continue to hold the view that you handle Nuada with all his interesting nuances. You really do seem to able to keep the "humanity" out of his voice... or that's what I'm seeing at least.

Prince Nuada

[harrysbackup]

I have to agree with Brent. Nuada never comes off as human in any of his posts, and you can actually, even with the little he does say, feel his general disdain for the race. Considering it's a large focal point of his character, I have to say: kudos, bb.

The few times Thomas has threaded with him have been entertaining, and I blame myself for not doing it more often. Stupid stupid lack of time. Anyway, tldr - Nuada is very well done.

[rehymenator]

Aslaaaan! ♥ I was hesitant to put Castiel into that situation to begin with, but you made it very easy to walk a fine line. You have a talent at representing his power without overtaking the thread or making him seem godmodey (har har) which seems like a big feat to me.

To add to the Nuada love, part of what I loved about his character in the movie was that he wasn't conflicted and he wasn't this maniac who tore through anything just because. He truly believes in his right as an elf and as a prince that he has a responsibility to take care of the earth. Along with his disdain, you balance that calmness and clarity in how he perceives his environment, along with his steadfast attitude. He comes off as duty bound but not cardboard and very emotional while being able to detach. Fantastic.

I don't know how to express how I enjoy playing with your characters without sounding like I'm repeating myself from past HMDs, particularly for Cameron and Neil. So, this time, if I may say so without being creepy, I really enjoy how you're handling the development with the DPS boys 8) If you ever feel Adrian is crossing the line please let me know, not that he's spying or anything...

Actually I can say I feel your voice for Frankie is pretty spot on. When I read his posts or comments I can hear him like in the movie. I think that's a great achievement, it really makes me want to bring back a bloodsucker.

[mollypocket]

Alms! I know it can be frustrating playing without a crew, you do an exceptionally great job at it. Frankie has found his niche. And I know that Brian is sneaking about in his way, not far at all. Of course I have to say something about Cameron! She's spot on. In the face of crazy and lunacy, she's levelheaded and feeling things out just as she should. Don't worry about activity. I know you'll be there in no time. Backdating is my bff.

Re: WE CAN'T STOP HERE THIS IS ALMS COUNTRY

[moresake]

Oh my gosh I love that plotting post. I am going to have to get up in that in the future, because totally brill idea.

I still adore Neil and would love to see some more poetry posts from him in the future. Even though I don't always tag them I just love reading them. /is selfish

Other comments? I know I've been lacking on activity and a little slow on tags and I'm trying to be better about that. I'm also feeling iffy on Tim's voice right now so any concrit will help!

[conductyourself]

I don't know your canon, but that one thread was fun. ♥

I MEAN. YOU MADE THAT JOKE AND NO ONE ELSE GOT THE REFERENCE, CLEARLY THIS REFLECTS POORLY ON YOUR ROLEPLAYING SKILLS. /got nuthin'

I think I already said this, but omg I love Timothy. I don't know his canon very well at all bu he and Alice are eerily similar in a lot of ways, and I absolutely adore their interactions. There are always those two trouble makers in the back of the classroom that break things, and I totally think those two people would be Alice and Tim. XD
