you are my favorite player of sad morally dubious (sometimes downright bankrupt....) men. as a person, i find you so entertaining and charming and willing to roll with the punches — i'm eternally a shy person who wants to fall over with embarrassment when i meet someone new, but you were so kind to me from the start, and made me feel comfortable. you're proof that sometimes you really can find a unicorn off of bakerstreet just by taking a chance, and i'm so glad you did.
one aspect of your writing that i really, truly envy is how good you are at hitting a character's voice and introspection in such gutpunch-y way. i feel like i'm always overcompensating with tl;dr sometimes, but you're so evocative and manage to go for the throat in every sentence you write. you have such a clear grasp of character voice and motivations as well, and you don't stray from it — i respect how true you are to your characters, and how you don't shy from conflict or the nitty-gritty or unpleasantries of the characters you play. i think, sometimes, people feel the need to water down the flaws of a character to make them more palatable, but you embrace all sides of the characters you play.
i feel like a flop for losing sight of our psls (shadowheart/astarion back for 2025, mark my words....) but they're some of my favorite psl threads i've gotten to write, and you're the reason i stuck with shadowheart. i almost talked myself out of it when i was voicetesting, but you were so engaging and such a fantastic astarion that i stuck with it, and i'm so happy i did.
looking forward to doing more craziness with you in the new year! have a good holiday.
