Thank you for playing with me and the potato man, everyone. ♥︎ And for putting up with my battles against the mental gymnastics demons. The chemistry between the cast was really something this time around, and I thoroughly enjoyed this opportunity and chatting away with everybody.
JAEEEE you have truly made me love this potato man..... he's such a creature (fond). The way that you were able to balance all of his weirdness and idiosyncrasies alongside the premise of the game was incredible; he was completely oblivious and yet also so very lovable. I MEAN LOOK AT WHO HE MANAGED TO ROMANCE.
AS EVER, I ALWAYS LOVE JAE THREADS AND JAE CR...!! It's always so lovely to have you around, brightening up the chat and making everyone laugh and being the sweetest Jae.
I'M VERY EXCITED FOR OUR NEXT CR WHEREVER IT MAY COME!!!
SWEET CAL, you went so hard on the math this round . . . I applaud you for crunching numbers and names as much as you did, and also appreciate you for all the fun text memes you made of everyone's characters. You're always such a trooper.
And what a time Ringo gave us! She really was such a delight to follow for how direct and transparent she was, and her match with Furina was so sweet. In my heart, she leaves the estate as one of the round's biggest winners. 🙂↕️ Her personality made her a delightful breath of fresh air in the overall realm of AYTO, too. Thank you for gracing us with her, and for playing with me!
FINALLY GETTING TO SHIP WITH MY SWEET JAE..... life is so beautiful
as always jae is so good at playing a character that is like an onion: with lots and lots of layers... similar to how i felt about sanji in the last teen around, yi sang truly had sooo much going on from beginning to end that i couldn't help but totally fall in love with him. HES SO MOE AND CUTE I HAVE CUTENESS AGGRESSION FOR HIM.... GRAHHHHHHh (the sound of me looking at yi sang fanart and shaking him like a webkinz)
sometimes i read a jae tag and im like wow.... this is inspiring me to become a better writer... AND I MEAN THAT!! we had so many beautiful threads this time and i really admired your olympic gymnastics, i could tell you were putting a ton of thought into his dialogue and mental state week to week. he was such a perfect blend of awkward and tragic but effortlessly romantic too, i enjoyed reading all of his threads with everyone!!
and of course... my beloved yiyis.... they are soooo sweet and lovely. they both have gone through a lot of hard, terrible things and deserve someone who absolutely adores them and i feel like they found that in each other... 🥺 i just want them to be happy and have a wonderful life staying at each other's side, cries
THANK YOU SM FOR PLAYING AND SHIPPING WITH ME!!!!! i hold my paws out greedily for aytwo or psl shenanigans, i will always hunger for more jae tags ...
THIS TIME I DID NOT FUMBLE IC AND AM THEREFORE THRIVING—
Please, Yingying was so good . . . I was ever in awe at how empathically she approached everyone in a way that felt genuine, no matter the circumstances. She's so sweet, and even how she handled confrontations or tension was graceful to a level that showed just how much care and feeling you put into each tag. I could hear her clearly through her dialogue and inner thoughts, and in turn understand both her looming loneliness and undying affection. Truly, Jams has a way with words that make me collapse in a puddle of my own tears. Some of Yingying's latest tags expressing her tearful hopes did me in like nothing else. She deserves the world. 😭
The road behind us is stained with my pained, rageful tears, but now I bask in the tooth-rotting fluff that is YiYi. My soul is slowly but surely healing . . . I'm incredibly chuffed to have had this chance to ship with you, sweet Jams. Your writing is always emotionally rich and brimming with care for both sides of a given thread; it's a treat whenever I find a tag from you in my inbox. I was and am still floored by how profoundly Yi Sang and Yingying connected over the course of the game, and their shared happiness at endgame brings me such joy. Now if only Yingying can get laid.
I also hunger even though I'm slow as a snail (insert snisang emoji)!! Thank you for playing with me, and I run fastly at you for PSL shenanigans, because I am insatiable and need more Yingying in my life. Yi Sang can hang out, too.
JAE YOU'RE AS AMAZING AS ALWAYS. I really enjoyed Yi Sang b/c like. Despite being such a potato man, he really had so much depth to him? And you brought it out so well! His poetic words and the way he could just empathize with others was sooo important that I think he definitely brought comfort to many characters in the game (INCLUDING MINE). But at the same time it was also so funny to see him be so. . . weird. . . I will never forget the bulgogi. . . rip angry ghost of a cow.
You are suuuch an amazing player with whatever character you touch. I always feel honored when we have the chance to thread together! I hope we get to do so again sometime soon. AND I'M SO PROUD OF YI SANG FOR MAKING THINGS WORK WITH YINGYING AND NOT FUMBLING OUR CUTIEFUL WISTERIA FAIRY. may they all go home to Odile and then live together forever in comfort and happiness. they deserve it!!
That poor cow suffered, but at least two were fed that night . . .
Al, you were incredible as always! You pumped out so many tags with Edamura without ever losing steam, not to mention how involved he was with the cast as a whole. Life goals . . . We can only hope to be half as powerful. You brought a lot of life to the game and it wouldn't have been the same without you.
Edamura was so emotive even when he's concealing his heart and deepest thoughts, and you wrote him in a way that organically showcased this depth. I love the thought and care you put into developing him over the weeks, because he really was carrying a lot behind that cheerful and naive veneer. The payoff by the third ceremony for his journey was so worth it and heartening! One day I'll watch his canon . . . In the meantime, I hope he and Rom have sweet heart-to-hearts as lovers. (That's right, Rom! It's lover time!)
I'm so happy that I'm gonna get to Leo point in the future now whenever I see Yi Sang out in the wild ... "THAT'S OUR GUY" also i hate that leigh truly clocked me as probably being a sinclair girly ....... if i ever find the time to venture into another mobage in the future mayhaps i will go stumbling to you with my limbus thoughts ...
ANYWAY! What a man, what a creature Yi Sang is! He's such a fascinating little guy, and I think the fact that everyone is so enamored with him really speaks volumes as to how beautifully you made him work! He gives such enormous vibes of "oh there is something wrong with this guy," but I also definitely got the sense that he had a consistent internal logic to him -- I think it was always really evident that you were warring with the mental gymnastics demons, because you always made something work in the end! It never felt like he was being weird just for the sake of being weird, which is such an easy trap to fall into when playing an eccentric-type character, I think ... Yi Sang just always came across as tremendously heartful and earnest, just in an unfamiliar way, and that disconnect made him soooooo lovable, I couldn't help rooting for the guy.
Also! It was so nice getting to see him slowly cheer up and form connections with people over the weeks! Looking at his sad Pou to happy Pou transition on the CR chart made me smile so widely ... Also also, I need to mention how attentive and thoughtful a player you are! I feel like more than a few times you whipped out some impressive callbacks to previous threads, and I think that's the sort of thing that's so easy to forget especially when things are moving quickly, but it also adds such a good sense of continuity and cause-and-effect that it felt really special every time I spotted it! Yi Sang was just such a delight to witness in so many ways.
So yes, thank you so much for bringing us your strange little man, I now love him with all my heart!!! And here's to hoping I can play with you again in the relatively near future! ❤️
Sweet Miru . . . ಥ_ಥ My arms are always wide open to you and any and all thoughts you might have, even though I've cursed you with awful bulgogi.
But enough about me. Miru, you have such a wild sense of humor that contrasts with your sweet mindfulness where you put aside time for everyone and their character, and you're all the more charming for it! You're a remarkable writer with some of the most impactful multipart tags I've seen to date that utilize both expression and pack a punch for emphasis. They opened my eyes, truly . . .
As for Rom, he was such a fascinating and layered character to follow. The more I saw, the more I was enraptured . . . I loved the thought process of his 5D chess in how he presented himself and saw the game, and how he was really the most human beneath it all. I hurt for him, but also celebrate his wins while crying over him and Wei Wuxian. I ate up all of your meta about his actions and enjoyed him so much, and wish him all the best with Edamura. And, of course, I also look forward to playing with you again in the hopefully very near future, because between Pohl and Rom I know you'll always deliver depth and so much thought for your characters. 🙂↕️
JAE YOUR SWEET POTATO MAN... I'm so glad we all got to meet him and, perhaps, even fix him?? (No... he didn't need fixing, just the warmth of more friendship.) You are always a blast to get to RP with but your effort truly shone through, considering Yi Sang's speech patterns and everything, but you did a lovely job with this strange, charming little guy. I'm so glad he made so many friends while getting to stay his authentic self!! Him warming up and becoming more comfortable and SMILING was always so nice to see. And he and Yingying were so cute too... the most charming pair, once he figured it out...
AS ALWAYS thank you for being such a dynamic and fun RPer and friend!! I always love getting to meet your guys through you and an inevitable crazy hours boomeranging thread, and I am so excited for the next one!!
SWEET ARI, YOUR FRIENDLESS LASS WHO NOW HAS MANY A FRIEND. . . I loved Poppy's presence in the game so much. She injected an abundance of exuberance into the cast's dynamics, perhaps at times for the worse for her but always for the best for the audience. It's no wonder she's adored by everyone. I also thought it was just very sweet to see the different sides of her, where she could be abrasive in her honesty but sincerely considerate and empathetic in the next breath. I treasured all those moments, spicy and soft . . . I'm proud of her for winning with Shoko.
I was weak in the wee hours this game, but I still enjoyed every opportunity to boomerang with you. Your sense of humor and your wit were exceptional this round and I look forward to making CR with you again very soon . . . !
