sorry it's been taking me so long on tags, i'm still working to catch my pace on things with the new living situation

[handwringing]

I'm so glad we're in a game together again ;w; Kanaya is as lovely and classy as ever, and it's fun seeing how she's grown and changed in this setting through her threads! Looking forward to more!

KING I am really glad that you apped David because he is really a fun character in the sense that he is such a good foil and you do his attitudes so well. ALSO I HAVE TO SAY that I don't know much about Homestuck but I've stalked some Kanaya and I actually find it fun and the threads are really engaging!

[godly]

I just wanted to say that I love threading (or just reading threads) with Kanaya. Her rational, level-headed discussions are fun to read, but then she goes and does something like threaten to slit the throat of a Soviet spy, hahaha. It's wonderful, please keep it up!

[liverletdie]

King you really are one of the most active and engaging players I've had the pleasure of playing with. You're always looking for new ways to get involved, and your characters never feel like they're being pushed out of their comfort zone to do it. You're always creative and fun with how you get involved, and I both enjoy it, and look forward to playing with you!

Character wise, you always pick great, interesting characters, and there's a lot of love and investment that I notice in every tag. You put a lot of thought and care into it, and every tag from you really shows that! I love the way you push them, and get them involved too!

[acclimatized]

I'm totally canon blind to homestuck but I love threads with Kanaya.

OKAY obviously we haven't gotten to play very much yet, but I've very much enjoyed shooting the shit with you over plurk, and I've enjoyed what I've seen from both of your characters so far - they have very distinct speech patterns and motivations, and they're just all around fun.

[selfequipped]

King, I'm really glad that we've gotten to play together. You do a really good job of understanding that sometimes a narrator is extremely unreliable and you do an excellent job of bringing that to life (with both of your characters, but obviously especially Kanaya). Playing out the contrasting mindsets between your characters and mine has been a lot of fun, and I feel like I can really engage in a really fun RP argument with you. It's awesome.

[selfimage]

WAH WAH king you are a riot to talk to, and i'm so so so so so so glad that you decided to pick up david. everything that you do seems to have a level of narrative separation while still being incredibly voicey while having a lot of thought behind it.

I just have to say that the weird not-friendship-not-rivalry-tentative-circling-not-relationship thing going on between Kanaya and Ruka is getting to be a really interesting dynamic to me. They overlap in a lot of ways, but are simultaneously very, very different from one another, so I feel like there's always going to be an undercurrent of tension between them, but I really am enjoying how they're getting to looking out for one another despite only recently beginning to actually get along like civilized people. Considering just how long they were completely contentious and utterly content they were to not interacting at all, I really appreciate how willing you are to change an established CR dynamic when the characters themselves change during the duration of it.

YOU'VE BEEN such a pleasure to bounce tags off of! While I'm kind of MIA on the Homestuck front (it was a brief endeavor years ago ok) - I think you've done her extreme justice. Your tags are always full of thought and you've been nothing but a sweetheart.

SO THANKS FOR BEING SO RAD

[exsithstential]

Thank you King. You have always made me feel so welcome and I appreciate how open and constantly engaging you are. I can never get enough of threading with you as your characters are wonderful to read and never fail to entertain.

I am so sadly canon blind, but I like discovering your characters through you and almost prefer it that way. The community wouldn't be the same without you.

[gabbie]

You have always really been such a pleasure to thread with -- like you said, the interplay between our characters has been and continues to be a delight, and I like how it's evolved. Kanaya getting involved in Goblinplot is seriously exciting to me and I anticipate further escalation in that direction, as well as the intensifying distress that is Kanaya and Reiner so far. David, though I don't really have CR with him yet, has been really fun to read (the YA drama is especially great) and I think you've got a really strong voice going for him so far. Overall you're really involved, conscientious, fun to play against, and super amenable to a variety of different kinds of plotting, all of which I truly appreciate.

[lyingheart]

I can't remember what I said above or not, so hey, King, I appreciate how tagging with and reading Kanaya feels like a much more complete and coherent character than my abysmal attempts to read Homestuck left me with /laughs alone with salad oh no

What I really appreciate is seeing that sense of how time and the life of a character in a game where people disappear as they do here come into Kanaya's life and touch her; I enjoy how she has her goals that she pursues, and she still feels like she's that... character from the comic that I did find enjoyable. I love when she's living up to her troll nature, love watching her interactions with a broad range of characters and her thoughts and conclusions about these interactions. I appreciate very much where she's connecting with Annie, and I apologize so much that Annie is... trying, but stupid about these things, and appreciative if reluctant. Right now is a kind of complicated time with balancing the fallout with confessing on network, how CR reacted, how she feels about all of it, and her defense mechanisms kicking in and trying pretty hard to send her into stand off closed off shut down mode, so I also APOLOGIZE THERE it's not a forever thing it's a work in progress.

I've also really appreciated your sense of detail and setting and presentation, giving some wonderful hooks in tags, giving great give and take in the threads we have, and also totally just going along with my gag tags (I hope hahaha oh stars) because sometimes it's just easier to say the silly things that come to mind before I roll over trying to make character sense make tag sense.

I appreciate you and your willingness to thread with Annie, and I hope she continues to be a character you enjoy in the context of this game, especially as she's one of the ones you like best in canon! Also I'm slow but I am still planning to tag Kanaya as Hobgoblin in the haunted house I hope that's okay!

Re: KING

[willthaw]

We need to have a proper thread but I still creep and watch your CR with others. You've totally changed my perspective on Kanaya's canon and I really find her to be so engaging and interesting! I hope to see more of her when life settles down for you xx
