River Tam (biverbam) | Firefly/Serenity

My activity has been really horrible lately, and I know there are things I need to focus on more so I'm trying to figure out how to do that now while hoping rl stuff calms down enough that I can concentrate. Basically if there's anything you've noticed in play that seems off for any reason, please please tell me so I can make sure to fix it.

Every time HMD comes around I wish I had something new to say so I don't retread the same old shit I say every time, but damn dude. WHAT DO I SAY. Your River is the River, for me. You've allowed her to grow and change in Taxon, while still keeping her so recognizably River when I read her tags I remember why I loved the show so much.

Tl;dr? Keep on keepin' on, you're flawless.

I AM VERY GLAD TO KNOW YOU STILL THINK ALL THESE THINGS! Not flawless, 'cause I know there's plenty I could improve on if I put my mind to it, but knowing you still thing so highly of what I've done so far means a lot to me. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I haven't been able to play as much as I want with River (which is mainly my own tagfail and the evils of RL), and that's sad because I adore your River. I think you do a wonderful job of getting inside her head and understanding how she would see the world and respond to it, and then putting that into language that just sounds so River. I really enjoy reading her and I like that you've been playing her for a good while and are still consistent with the way you write.

Your River is just amazing, in my opinion. The way you handle her idiosyncrasies and difficulties in expressing herself and to be understood is wonderful. You have her act true to the character down to the way you have her move, think and most importantly, speak. A lot of times River-players seem to either try too hard to make her sound all ~mysterious~ and turn everything she says into gibberish or then they don't try enough and just make her sound kind of dull and flat. But I think you've found an excellent balance in the middle that is just right. Clearly you've put a lot of thought and care into her characterization and it shows. I also adore the fact that you don't gloss over the fact that River can be a horrible little troll and a brat when she feels like it. A+, lady.

Basically, keep being epic. ♥
