two can play at this game let's fuckin go:

1 ) congratulations ( or not ) !! you ARE erwin smith!! you're slightly more alive && have one too many arms, but otherwise you've been breathing life into this son of a bitch for years && you've made him yours in a way i could never imagine pulling off;

2 ) hey there armeen!! you took fanon armin && threw him in the trash ( as one should ) && found that balance between vulnerability && cunning, && the day you let me play with him is the day i sleep peacefully;

3 ) congratulations ( again ) !! you have taken the worst person in the world *cough* floch *cough* && made him compelling enough that even his biggest hater ( me ) can't ignore his bitchass when you write him;

4 ) i'll bertell you what i bertold you before- you took a lad whose characterization was limited to breadcrumbs, ran with it, interpreted in a way that feels true to canon but also fresh out of the oven;

5 ) uri fucking reiss!! it started out as an accident but now it's just me, && you, && brokeback mountain!! old man yaoi is going to be the death of me!! also you have a clearer understanding of the founder than i ever will && that alone is a skill worth celebrating;

6 ) did you know that bungee gum has the properties of both rubber && gum? && did you know how much i adore your portrayal of the weirdest && most irritating mf? once again, you took a character purposefully shrouded in mystery && made it work, && the end result is some of the most titillating banter which i adore;

7 ) please don't eat my phone- i jest, but you found that sweet spot between leorio being comic relief, && his being a fully fleshed out character with deeper motivations && ambitions;

8 ) i don't believe i've had the joy of interacting with her, but i keep up with your dallying, && your approach to shoko feels so ( appropriately ) sombre && melancholy, && i love the atmosphere you create every single time;

9 ) i'm going to be so honest pookie todo was not the person i expected you to pick up but i'm so grateful you did holy shit!! once again, you managed to find the balance of being seriously unserious!! live, laugh, takada-chan;

10 ) i think it goes without saying that you are president of the tendou satori fan club && THANK GOD because i love that club

Hello! Just wanted to say that your portrayal of Smokescreen is AMAZING <3 <3 <3

You perfectly captured his youthful enthusiasm, and that the need to prove himself often underlies the insecurities he harbors when it comes to not feeling good enough. It adds layer to his character, and you really explored that side of him. Plus, your writing is SO in-character (it saddens me that he's often mischaracterized) down to the dialogues you've written for him...like the previous anon, I feel like I could actually HEAR Nolan North himself!

Smokey holds a very special place in my heart and I'd like to thank you for your blog, and for writing him so well! This silly yet cunning Elite Guardsmech is so underrated, and he deserves all the happiness, smiles, and laughter. You've truly did him justice in a way that the show couldn't, and thank you for that :)

i literally had to sit here and take a FREAKING MOMENT because holy HECK? ??? im sitting here with MISTY LITTLE EYES.. this is probably the sweetest, most validating thing i have ever been told in my entire life and i need YOU!! TO KNOW THAT!!!!!

ive been just feeling him scrambling inside for SO LONG and i am so SOOO GLAD I CAME BACK <333 thank YOU THANK YOU THANK YOOOUUU for supporting me and adoring this precious little cretin with me <333 my heart is freaking FLOORED WITH LOV ERIGHT NOW HOLLLYYLYLLYLYLYYYYYOOO <3 forEVER KEEPING THIS MESSAGE CLOSE, i hope you have such a beautiful day my lovely lovely <3 ;-;;;;

dahlia was born to elyaine, the court dressmaker and an unknown father. elyaine had taken reprieve when her pregnancy became apparent, and one day when travelling, she went into labor and had to stop at a blacksmith’s shop, where she gave birth to dahlia.

the blacksmith, simply called ‘lore’, was kind to the child and frequently would care for her while she was too young to assist her mother, who was always off working (and a lot of partying).

they lived in a nice cottage, but there was trinkets and finery throughout (which dahlia learned later on was not from her mother’s work alone, but her father would send money that elyaine would spend frivolously)

as dahlia became older, around her 10th name day, she had begun to travel with her mother and learn the trade. but she was also exposed to the debauchery that elyaine surrounded herself with on a constant basis.

eventually, it would end up being dahlia that took over most of the work of making dresses, expanding to even men’s clothing while elyaine would pursue one lover in hopes of a husband after another. elyaine would graciously take credit for her daughter’s work.

elyaine was charming and bright and full of life, but made certain that dahlia understood that elyaine’s life was effectively ruined by her birth. this caused dahlia to pour herself further into her work and spend her spare time with lore, learning artistry from him and incorporating hardware into more of her designs. 

as the war began, lore was called away and elyaine slipped further into bitter rage and wine as business slowed. eventually, word got back that lore had been a casualty of someone else’s problems.

after losing the one stable paternal figure in her life, whose forge had been pillaged and burned, as if he had never been there; and the smallfolk struggled against the wartorn world around them, not safe behind castle walls, dahlia became more involved in escaping the world through hedonism.

when the dust and ash settled, elyaine caught a scarring disease that left her beautiful face dismantled, which led her to drink, dahlia assumed all responsibilities within their business. she still feels the loss of lore and a crippling sense of anxiety to face the poverty they experienced during the war.

dahlia searches for feeling and fulfillment, much to the detriment of her own well-being. she is struggling to make it through rebuilding, but refuses to let it show. she loves the finer things and wants more of them; she also tends to search for comfort in the wrong arms.

soy my darling ; u ; it should be illegal to make me emotional before 5 PM, but you've done it, so there's that. i'm constantly on edge about how long it takes me to get things done on here, but having it perceived as a strength makes me feel infinitely better. i love plotting with you && i constantly look forward to crashing into your dms && sending you cute/funny/weird shit, or simply yapping as a pal <3

Although I can't play as her properly, I do love her and can only ship her with Vlad, so when I saw you and one of the other blogs I love had started an RP, I gave little jumps of happiness. Thanks again, and I hope I don't miss any of your posts :D
