☀ Leave a comment for you, listing any characters you play! ☀ Comment around to others, letting them know something you genuinely appreciate about their playing, characterization, humor, point of view, your CR, or anything of the sort! ☀ For example, "I appreciate the way you constantly surprise me in our threads, they always go places I don't expect! Like that time where we had CHARACTER and CHARACTER go out for coffee and they ended up robbing the Gumball Machine." ☀ Don't be afraid of being specific! ☀ ... buuuut perhaps avoid hiding under anyone's porch.

Gabbie, I have told you this already, but I want to say it here, too. You have a wonderful sense of communication in your writing, a way of displaying character thought and action that is absolutely engaging. I appreciate that sense of individualism and the way it plays out, that you have a varied cast and each character on it shines through as themselves, or for those I don't know canon source on well if at all, they shine through as distinct individuals with motivations, thoughts and feelings of all their own. You're gifted in how you hit a back and forth in threads, and I feel like writing with you creates an environment where both sides are reading through and responding to sensible elements as suits the characters involved. It's engaging, and I love that sense of curiosity and anticipation in seeing what I'll get back in a response from you.

Also as I've said, you're why I apped Annie in when I did! I threw her up on the test drive meme on a whim, since I was looking for a second place to play her, and having Reiner show up on the meme and on the reserves page made me actually go through with tightening (titaning) up my application and finishing it for MoM proper, simply hoping I'd get that chance to bounce off Reiner and you in the game itself. Teenagers are always different to play than adults, with a different kind of emotional intensity and instability, and a changable nature that adults don't lack, but that takes more for people with more experience in their lives to roll around and past that, and I've really enjoyed reading how you handle Reiner and both his age, his mental divide, and his relationships with other characters (in and out of cast) here in game. He feels three dimensional, and I know as a player of a shifter we're all operating on limited information that hopefully doesn't Joss us all in the end, but what you've done with that feels believable. I enjoy how Reiner and Annie both try to do similar things, from very different places, with very different ways of arriving at similar end results, and I love how neither one is entirely sure what to do with the other, but how both do end up listening. He's kind of her big smart-dumb friendly jock guy friend who she doesn't call a friend because she just finally admitted she doesn't hate him (I loved that Reiner didn't think of her as a friend, either, and that Bertholdt had to point out that it was something they could all be) and I keep looking forward to the trainwrecks and the nice things we may be able to slip in to these characters between those trainwrecks.

On an OOC level, as one of the people I talk with most in the game, I have to let you know how much I appreciate your sense of humor, the way you handle yourself, your friendliness and the fun I have talking fandom or life with you in a relaxed, link sharing way. You're a great person to get to know, and I'm glad I've had the chance to not only play with you and your characters, and read them as well in the game, but get to know you, too, as a person. Thank you!
