No ilu. :( I CANNOT HATE, IT WOULD BE HATING MYSELF.
...Sob your only newbie is Liz and I haven't seen enough of her to make a comment. HERE HAVE STUFF ON YOUR OLDBIES.
Steeeeeeeeeeef I just. When I say I couldn't play off another Stefan now? It's no bullshit, because we've built so much backstory and headcanon another Stef would feel wrong. I love love love love love LOVE him. And I especially love your delicate handling of the Stefan and Kat drama right now; in another rper's hands it could be an utter trainwreck, and with you I find myself nodding along like YES, THIS IS PERFECT. You put so much time and thought into Stefan's thoughts and motivations, it's lovely.
Angel is as always, amazing and again you're the only player I would really want to bounce off. (ARE YOU SEEING A THEME HERE.) You have him nailed as ever, the Angelus glitch was epic and I always love seeing how you have the dual voices down, and the slow burn of Sook and Angel is as always some of my favorite CR.
Kirk is... for me, one of the few I've seen who balance the aspects of his personality well. You see a lot of LOL MANSLUT or LOL ISSUES but the blend isn't there? But with your Kirk, you get all the pieces of the whole. I especially appreciate your depth of knowledge about the Trek franchise and how you apply it to him, because I think a lot of Trek rpers skip over that and end up painting themselves into a corner via not knowing the world. Your Kirk is military (...okay, ~Starfleet~) and you play him as such.
ANYWAY ILU, DEAL WITH IT.

kdjflaskjdflkajsf that makes me so happy to hear, you have no idea. While I've felt confident in Stefan's actions, I've also been rather paranoid that the justification for his actions in my head weren't coming across clear in the narrative. I've been trying to meta as often as possible in regards to his direction and the reasons behind why he's picked that path, so those outside the drama who can't see the outline for it have more insight. tl;dr: I'm glad it seems to be coming off that way.

I still haven't seen Star Trek so I can't really say much about Kirk aside from the fact that I do like to read his threads. Liz is just lovely and sounds exactly like she does in the show. I like that you're taking your time acclimating her into Taxon, it seems very IC for her especially considering her initial disbelief and suspicion upon arriving. My opinion on your Angel has not changed since the last HMD, for he is still awesome - the Angelus glitch was pure win. I'm seriously amazed how well you juggle the dual voices.
And then Stefan, oh my god. Rumi, I've said this before and I'll say it again; best Stefan I've seen. I love so much that you're playing up his ruthless side with this ploy with Katherine, it's working out beautifully. A lot of times people seem to forget that Stefan is actually not the perfect, "good" brother, and I love it that you're incorporating this so essentially in your characterization of him. I know you've expressed concern on whether or not Stefan's motivation on doing this with Kat reads as being OOC for outsiders, but I honestly don't think you need to worry about that. You weave in his true feelings and reasoning so wonderfully in the narration that there's no mistaking what's really going on with that. I'm so glad to have you as a castmate! ♥
Re: rumi;
I have not had any threads with your Kirk but hot damn is it good to see one who talks about other things than just getting into everyone's pants. There's a lot more to anyone than just one exaggerated aspect and you are clearly aware of the whole picture. I don't really know buffyverse at all but I want to mention that it is a lot of fun tagging Angel and I'm glad that you are down with shenanigans! PS I don't know Roswell either but so far I enjoy Liz, so thank you for introducing me to a character I wouldn't have otherwise known. I shall troll her like the wind.
