(I couldnât wait for the nice graphic so have a shitty one from paint)
I made this blog about seven months ago, on April 7, 2014. At that length of time, Natasha has not only become my favorite character ever that Iâve roleplayed as, but also the fastest growing blog I have ever run. The best part is that this has been an entirely positive experience. Sure, some people have dropped off or gotten lost on the way, but Iâve got this great group of people who are always on it when I need or want a thread. I post an idea and I suddenly have a message asking for specifics. This fandom and this roleplaying community are so much better than anything Iâve ever dealt with in the past. And for that, Iâm eternally grateful.
Now to the part that you guys actually care about. Everything is in alphabetical order.
dakanstalinii: Your name is Steve and you play Bucky Iâm just⌠ANYWAYS, look, this is the person I throw like 80% of my post-black widow hunt feelings at (the other 20% get split between two otherâs that are down further). Iâve always been partial to semi-angsty to fully-angsty threads, and Steve always matches me step to step. Honestly, I donât think anyone else on this list clicked with me quite as quickly. It was kind of crazy.
iamxwintersoldier: I was going through our threads and all weâve been doing recently is the black roses thread??? We need to fix that. Anyways, James is a giant dweeb that keeps putting up with me suddenly jumping in their inbox (pretty sure 90% of our threads have started that way). Also apparently mass effect is a common interest, we need to do a thing in that verse, because we just write angst so terribly well together.
iknewhxm: When I first followed Cam, I was kind of in awe that she followed back and just sat and stared from afar and liked her posts. It was really only super recently that we started interacting, and Iâm like 90% sure it was because of winterwidow smut. One of the things about Cam is our ooc interactions. We are similar in some ways, and yet so so different in otherâs. Our greatest thing that helps us get along is how hard we ship winterwidow (though Iâm sure she ships it more).
impressedyet // whatavilegirl // werefreeagents: (I know there are more but these are the oneâs I interact with/talk to). B is one of those people that I just really liked watching from a far for the longest time. Like I sat here going âdang if only I was half that goodâ. And finding someone who is super pro femslash in a maleslash dominated fandom??? Freaking dream come true. Plus, all of her writing is spot on, and the little bits and pieces of meta she writes are a good enough reason to follow right there.
lxptr: Oh god Jess. What a slow start to a relationship, but what a great relationship. Funny how sheâs the first person Iâve met who lives in Oregon and were actually like half an away from each other at one point, but me with my horrible schedule. Anyways, I never thought Loki and Natasha would ever have anything other than animosity towards each other, but roleplaying with Jess has brought out this side of Nat that I didnât really know existed. Great partner, great roleplayer, and just an all around great person.
markofwinter: Ronnie has put up with me like a champ. When I really like someoneâs writing, I get kind of attached, and Ronnie falls into that category. It was most watching Felicia and James interact that I was caught onto. A lot of people write ships with nothing but âweeee ship!â the whole, but Ronnie writes that ship with normal human interactions. Plus- anyone who plays in my mass effect verse is on my list forever, because I love those verses (also the thread with Nat finding James at the museum went someone great really fast).
mxskedhero: ZAM by precious baby! (I can call you that, youâre like five years younger than me) I have this weird protective thing with Zam that makes me think Iâm trying to be a parent which- no. But Zam is such a trooper and has had to put up with so much bullshit but pushes through. Also the mass effect thread is perfect and one day we will do a dragon age thread. One day.
quxll: My Quill! I only followed them a little bit ago (I wanna say a week), but Nat and Quill interactions are something I never knew I needed until then. They just get Peter as a character so well. A bunch of Quillâs I see are like âhaha heâs funny and saves the dayâ and thatâs. Like a tenth of Peter Quill. But this Quill is amazing and such a cool person (even though weâve spoken out of character once and it was about fruit⌠so)
redeemxd: Itâs a wonder I havenât murdered Aly by now. If not because our au kills me on a day to day basis, but also because she keeps daring to have a life and our threads get lost because sheâs super popular. But christ, I go back and read some of our old threads and just have to sit down because she really brings out the best in me. Thereâs just that set of roleplayers that you donât really mesh with, per say, but you bounce off one another and grow, and Aly falls into that category.
thehellisbucky: Speaking of murdering people for leaving, hereâs Eva (which is my girlfriendâs name, so this has become a joke between my girlfriend and me). Iâm just⌠the coffee shop au started as âdâaw these two have a crush on each otherâ and then we have a thread where James flat out throws Natasha against a wall and theyâre making out. This is how you can tell if Iâm comfortable with someone (also the fact that the coffee thread is super long).
xpetrushka: Justice has managed to get out this side of my muse that I didnât know existed, and I can actually see my writing improving from her. Sheâs so⌠I feel like the best way to describe Justice is with a flailing arm motion that ends with me whacking myself in the face. Sheâs turning into my au fiend since my last Bucky that did aus with me left, and she lets me play in my widow verse that I love! Plus Nat is super attached to her Bucky. Like she gets excited when she sees posts, and I never get writers block on the posts. Such a relief.
winterxassassin // spookyxassassin: Gwynedd (what a bitching name oh my god) was someone I actually thought was older than me, not younger. Iâm fairly certain there was never a point in which our muses werenât shipped, which is funny, considering our policies on such things. And now all our threads are like⌠nudity and porn. Itâs completely terrible. I never want it to stop.
(People Iâm really attached to. We probably havenât spoken out of character, or if we have, itâs just been a long time)
agentclntbrtn, brightestbiochemist, charmingrelic, clintbxrton, colxcheeseburger, comiitatus, dontcallmelegolas, fallencomrade, imnotbucky, leonidnovokov, motherofasgard, perezimovat, russiasredguardian, soviettrumpeter, thewintersamson, workahxlic, xcarney
If youâre not on this list, then either I havenât interacted with you much, or Iâm just forgetting you. Iâm great full for each and every one of you. And if I ever get to 1000, Iâll probably die of shock.
