A brief note from your admin team: good evening, Veronesi! We kindly ask your patience with us as we adjust and rearrange some things on the main (and elsewhere! Maybe there are some hidden clues for you, if you look closely enough -- personally, I love a treasure hunt! 👀) in accordance to some similar shifts and changes within the world of DiVerona. We expect this will take a few days and will return to you as exuberant and as excited as before -- with something new in hand. If you have any questions, feel free to send us an ask or DM from the dashboard. Thank you for your kindness and your forbearance.
Happy Sunday, everyone! We hope you had fantastic week. We, as an admin team, wanted to apologize for how long the most recent plot drop took to drop - some extenuating events came up that set us back. But we’re happy to announce that we plan on coming back full force, starting this upcoming week. We will be releasing new open character teasers as well as begin releasing new character bios on a consistent basis, aiming for one every two to three weeks. Cassius, Katherine, and Aaron will be the next to come out.
Also, we’re planning on introducing our first AU week! Between the admin team, we came up with four AUs to choose from and have decided to let our members vote on which they’d like to play out! We would be writing mini plot drops and the AU weeks would mostly be comprised of laid-back rapid-fire threads, and members are encouraged to come up with mini-bios specific to the AU! The four choices are:
1. WWII
2. The Walking Dead
3. Harry Potter
4. Superheroes
Cast your votes via the reply function, and we plan on announcing the AU by 6PM EST tomorrow!
And finally, we’ll be conducting an activity check tomorrow. Thanks again for being such wonderful members, and HAPPY FIVE MONTHS!
Hello everyone! Thanks to everyone who volunteered their character to be paired up for the event task. The pairings can be found under the cut, and the details and motives were left intentionally vague so that you may make them your own. We can’t wait to see what you write, and remember to tag your thread starters with #diveronatask!
Juliana and Odessa. Odessa could confront Juliana, demanding a spoken declaration of the Capulets’ guilt in regard to her slain father. She corners the Capulet heiress, not intending on leaving without a confession.
Alexander and Delilah. Delilah, intent on proving her loyalty and how far she’s come, challenges Alexander. Alexander intends on saving his energy for his fight with Rafaella, but Delilah won’t be swayed.
Giya and Orion. By now Giya has heard of what’s transpired between Orion and Hiran and has since hardened since the masquerade. She seeks Orion out, eager to exact vengeance.
Pandora and Maeve. Pandora has, by now, heard of the scandal between Maeve and Alexander and is curious to see what exactly it was about her that has Alexander so fond. She challenges Maeve to prove her worth.
Hiran and Lucrecia. Lucrecia sees Hiran while he’s out and resolves to taunt him about the recent news surrounding his adviser and Maeve.
Santino and Catherine. Catherine finds herself on the wrong part of town and gets cornered by a Montague soldier (NPC). Santino comes to her aid just as the fight starts to become messy and breaks it up.
Vivianne and Valentina. Vivianne recognizes Valentina as a Montague soldier and, still incensed by the bombing, stops her and demands retribution.
Marcelo and Easton. Marcelo stops Easton in the street, recognizing him as someone who has been assigned to keep watch over Celeste. Following their apparent failure to retrieve her at the Colosseum, they challenge Easton to a brawl.
Hi everyone! We hope everyone’s Thanksgiving has gone well, and that everyone had the chance to enjoy quality time with their loved ones.
It’s with a bittersweet heart that we write this message to announce a new era in DiVerona. The admins spent much of the past month discussing our individual muses and motivations, and every admin came to the same conclusion: that though we deeply loved what this group gave to us (from the friends we’ve made to our own characters), we were ready to move on. We are proud of what we’ve done as a team, but we don’t take lightly how taxing these past two years have been. As many of you can guess, running a group as expansive, long-standing and intense as DiVerona is no easy feat. We wouldn’t take it back for the world, but we also feel that this is the best step forward for the group.
Effective immediately, the admins will be stepping down and closing the group. In the Discord chat, we will post a link to view the outline we created for the final scene of Act II and the rest of Act III. After two years of running a passionate, inclusive and dedicated group, we felt that each of you deserved to know the story we planned.
As many of you know, we also took the time to have a quick chat with each member of the group to gauge current muse and interest in their characters. Even for us admins, we know there is a marked difference between having the motivation to run a group versus writing our characters.
With that in mind, we will allow our members to continue writing in the DiVerona world with their individual characters, with all of the following conditions:
You are a current member of DiVerona. If you are a past member of DiVerona and left the group (for personal reasons, activity or otherwise), you must request our permission to write any DiVerona characters.
You are currently writing the character in question. If you wish to play a character who you previously wrote or have never written, you must receive permission from the main.
We are unbelievably grateful to have had the experience to see characters develop so extensively on the dash, not to mention our own. We don’t see this as the end of DiVerona, but rather as a new era. DiVerona will be a group without admins and without an organized storyline.
If you have any questions, we will be creating a chat in the Discord specifically for members to ask questions. We ask that you use the Discord chat exclusively, as we will be limiting our usage of the main and would like to stay away from personal DMs for the sake of transparency. For those of you interested in continuing the story, keep your eyes peeled for information on the Witches, which will make an appearance on the dashboard soon. Thank you for a wonderful two years!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DIVERONA! While we might technically be two days shy of the actual birthday date, fret not -- this week we have a whole list of activities and surprises in store both for you as members and us as admins to celebrate Diverona’s second birthday. Tonight, at midnight EST, we’ll be posting the first of several announcements that encourage all of us to take a look back over our shoulders and see how far we’ve come. Through blood, sweat, and tears, you’ve all worked hard to make this place a home away from home, a place of shelter for when times are hard and things seem insurmountable. It might be a bit cheesy, but we cannot thank you all enough for the hard work you’ve put into your time here, developing your characters and watching them grow like an expansive garden. We couldn’t do all this without you, our fabulous, beautiful, breathtaking, incredible members. Take a bow, Veronesi -- this week is for you!
Hello, Verona! Today is plot drop day, and we would recommend you read the full post on our EVENT BLOG because this announcement has quite a few spoilers. You’ll notice that we’ve done yet another graphics and theme revamp — TADA! With a new Don on the Capulet throne, Verona’s criminal underworld is entering a new age, and the entire city is holding its breath to see it unfold. The aesthetics of the group has changed to reflect what is on the horizon for Verona.
Now that the Capulet reign has changed hands, it is time to officially reopen JULIET. For some background to those who are not currently members, we held a poll for then-members to vote on whether to permanently or temporarily close the roles of the heirs. While the majority of the group voted to permanently close the roles, we felt that the missed opportunities for characters with integral connections to the heirs were too great to warrant a permanent change.
So the admin team settled on a middle ground. We temporarily closed the heirs until they were ready to take on greater responsibility within their mobs. These characters are integral to the story of the group, and we rely heavily on their players to be actively moving the character and their reign forward. As such, we have chosen to implement a new policy for the heirs: ONLY CURRENT MEMBERS MAY APPLY, and it must be according to our rules on additional characters:
Picking up a second or third muse will require significantly developing your first (and second, if you have them) beyond where they started with your application, and will be at admin discretion. You are always free to ask us for an update on whether or not we feel you are ready to take on another character.
Additionally, we will not allow more than TWO characters per member from either side of the mob or neutral territory. We feel this is too much sway for one person to have while writing within this sort of group setting, so keep that in mind should you wish to apply for more than one character!
JULIET’s biography will be released in the coming days, and we will be holding an initial round of applications for our current members out of consideration for anticipated interest. We will hold acceptances for JULIET on OCTOBER 29 at 9 PM EST.
Finally, we have changed the faceclaim of another heir in Verona. ROMEO’s new faceclaim will be DAJE BARBOUR, due to some highly inappropriate and concerning news surrounding Rome Flynn.
Ciao, Verona! It’s with a bittersweet heart that we write this message — a simultaneous hello and goodbye.
Effective immediately, ROSEY will be stepping down as an admin. One of the original creators of DiVerona and a close friend to many of us, it’s with our best wishes that we close her time at DiVerona. She will remain in the Discord group chat, and play a background role with the plot development.
The role of FLORIZEL will be reopened (with some minor adjustments to the bio) and the roles of ROSALINE and ORSINO will be closed. Keep an eye on our events blog for information on their in-character farewells!
At the same time, our beloved CAS — who we’ve all come to know and love on the dash and in our Discord chat — will be stepping up and joining the admin team! For several months, Cas has been an invaluable resource and thoughtful friend behind the scenes. We’ve come to rely on her guidance and insights so much that we wanted to make her an official part of our team! She will be getting elbow-deep in the development of DiVerona, from the plot drops to keep you on your toes and helping with any members who may need her assistance. Please join us in giving Cas a warm and deeply deserved welcome!
A MESSAGE FROM CAS: Hello everyone! You all know me and I know all of you, so no need for introductions. I'll be joining DV's admin team to assist with plot drops, creative concepts and general writing, and I couldn't be more thrilled to come aboard. I'm excited to be here and to help push this story right through to the bitter end. Not much else to say here except I can't wait to get started, so bye for now! <3
We’ve arrived at day four, everyone! Today, the admin team would like to take a moment to appreciate one another. Running a group for two years comes with many moments of excitement and joy. It’s incredible to see the plot make leaps and bound forwards, and watch characters that first began in our heads flourish into the player’s own on the dash. It also, admittedly, comes with its challenges; challenges we embrace with enthusiasm as a team, relying on one another and encouraging one another when life gets demanding.
For a DiVerona admin history lesson — Rosey and Jen first opened the group together in August 2018, preparing diligently to launch DiVerona and bring it to Tumblr after a few years of hiatus. Minnie acted as an invisible admin beginning August 2018, offering advice when requested, and came on as an official admin in MAY, 2019. Julie joined our team as the graphics admin in JULY, 2019 and ushered in a beautiful era and graphics revamp for Act II. Last, but certainly not least, Rogue was welcomed to the admin team in APRIL, 2020 to create stunning, heart-wrenching characters and continue building on the momentum of the plot.
Below, you will find a little love letter each admin wrote for one another. For this particular day, we will not be requiring any activity from our members. Feel free to take a break! If you’d like to show admin appreciation, you are free to do so, but we are not expecting it and hope you do not feel pressured to do so.
Thank you all for a wonderful two years of being admins of an incredible group like DiVerona!
JEN
My fire sign soulmate, my BITCH. As an admin, you bring aLL of the Montague spirit and heart and fire, and it shows in how passionate you are when guiding DiVerona’s story and development. Your creativity? Your flair for drama that inspires the most game-changing plot drops and the most iconic line in this group’s history? I mean, who else could have come up with infant king? For me, Jen, you embody the creative and collaborative spirit of DiVerona, and I treasure the fun you bring to the group and to the team. On a personal level, you have shown up for me time and time again. For that, I am so, so thankful for you. Your honesty is invaluable to me, whether you’re telling me I’m being impulsive or need to calm the hell down. You’re the sense of humor when we need it most, the ride-or-die who both starts adventures and cleans up the messes after, and my dear friend. — MINNIE
I’ve never met someone as passionate as you. You stick to your guns the whole way down and there’s something so deeply admirable in that -- you take such great pride in the things you do and how hard you work and what you bring to the table both as a writer and as an admin. We have exactly the same sense of humor and I love sending you memes and text posts through Discord at like, four in the morning, and seeing a reply from you when I wake up. It’s like taking a shot of orange juice right after rolling out of bed. Wakes me right up! You’re dedicated to the end, even when you’ve struggled, and I think that spokes both to your character and who you are as a friend. You’re like a sister to me in the sense I feel like we see right through each other, and I couldn’t be happier to know someone like you and get to work with you, even on opposite sides of the world. Our calls together are one of my favorite things to do -- we just click. <3 -- JULIE
Getting closer to you, Jen, has been one of my favorite parts of coming online as an admin. I have always admired you, I’ve always loved writing with you, but being your friend is one of the most rewarding things in the world. You have such fierce passion for things, all this burning intensity inside of you and an unflinching way of confronting the world that leaves me in absolute awe. The way you can always see around the corner to what a character needs (rather than what they want or what they might say) gives you such a great ability to build masterful plots and expand our world. Our shared weird insomnia has led to so many absolutely insightful, ridiculous, very hazy conversations, and I am shocked the team has put up with us for this long, but also more glad than anything in the world. Every word you write is precious to me, in character or out, and I’m going to save all of them forever so I can drag you within an inch of your life at ANY moment. Like a clingy little barnacle. I treasure both the experience of working creatively with you and of getting absolutely nothing done with you, and I love you with all my heart!! — ROGUE
to my idiot jen, sometimes i really can’t believe how we found each other again. i truly believe that it was no less than fate (and my utter disregard for any sense of self-preservation) that we would come into each other’s lives right when we did. i have never really questioned why or thought too much on how - because truly i cant really recall a moment where i didn’t know everything about you. there are so many things that i love about you: your tuna sandwiches and food pictures, our really really extensive aus, sharing with me every little frightening piece of your heart, forcing vulnerability and honesty and unconditional LOVE and being so very patient with me...over the past two years there has been so much that i’ve learned about you and still so much that there is still left to learn and love. i adore you to the moon and back you idiot. - ROSEY
JULIE
Hopefully you're not cringing too hard over this Very Formal Approach that I'm taking but trust me, if I could throw a meme in here somewhere I WOULD. Anyway, ever since you came on board, you've been nothing but a blessing to the team, and I mean that in every sense of the word. Your graphics and aesthetic vision for the group have inspired us in amazing ways, and beyond that you've lifted the team up with your pragmatic sense of judgement and gentle sensitivity to things. You really represent both sides of the same coin, dude, like… IT BLOWS MY MIND. I'm so happy to be sharing this anniversary with you, and I'm so proud of you and how far you've come ever since I met you, not just when it comes to the growth of your incredible talents but also when it comes to your writing and your maturity and pretty much everything about you. Thank you for being part of this amazing journey with us. I wouldn’t want to share it with anyone else. — JEN
Goosie, I really think you’re the closest thing to a renaissance woman I’ve met, not just in ability but also in who you are. Our entire admin team is pretty creative and original, but you are I think the true artist among us! And while your graphics are truly godlike and unlike anything I’ve ever seen in the RPC before, it’s in your writing I see it most. You’re the most versatile member on the admin team, Goosie, and I think you ground us in so many ways. Not just in doing major graphic makeovers or writing the single most iconic plot drop of DIVerona, but also with your kindness, compassion, intuition and self-awareness. I really would feel a little lost without you, Goosie - not only as an admin, but as a person! Every time you speak, I want to listen; every time you create anything, I want to frame it in a museum. I love you to fucking BITS, and I am genuinely so proud to call you buddy. (I thought about using friend instead, but buddy felt more accurate for us…) — MINNIE
Where would I begin? How can I even write a note when I feel like everything I do and every act I take is part of how much I love you, because it’s like, an entirely indelible part of me? Julie, you’re one of the most talented people in the world. Literally. Your writing is so piercing, so emotionally intelligent and brave and just vulnerable in a way I’ve never seen. Your graphics and art have such a passion to them; I think I love them because they’re beautiful, but I know I love them because I see little parts of you in them that delight me every time. I would crawl across broken glass to be a part of anything you do; I feel so lucky that I’m someone who often gets to see your works in progress, the messy edges of things, the half-finished projects. You bring such warmth to the team and such a grounded, different perspective; there have been so many times where we would entirely miss things if you hadn’t pointed them out when we were blind. You are our cornerstone, the one who anchors and glues us all together in so many ways, and I want to bask in that warm glow of your sunlight forever. — ROGUE
to my dearest julie, i wish i could just put a cody ko meme here but i am ABSTAINING EVEN THOUGH I FEEL LIKE YOU KNOW WHICH CODY KO MEME I WOULD PUT HERE. whenever i think about the times that i dragged you back into my life...like there are so many things in life i thank god i did but keeping you in it EVEN WHEN YOU TRIED TO ESCAPE MY CLUTCHES - that is number 1. having late night conversations with you about literally everything and anything makes my heart feel so full. you have been so much to me and trying to put it into words is really really difficult because none of them feel like they’re ever going to be enough. i love you for so many reasons: your humility, your determination to be there whenever, every single video and podcast you send me, your ability to listen and make people feel heard. you are special and if we are to take on this world i thank god i get to take it on with you. i love you. -- ROSEY
MINNIE
We complete each other and THAT'S JUST THE TEA. I admit, I can be a little over the top and just Too Much sometimes, but you always get me, and it's something that I appreciate more than I can put into words. You're the rock of this team, Minnie, and even though it's a pretty lame way of saying it, it feels right. I truly don't know where the team would be without you, but I know it wouldn't be anywhere near where it is now. You have a way of holding us together, of keeping us steady when we're weighed down or doubtful, with your kind heart, endless calm and unconditional support. I honestly don't know what to thank you for because it feels like there's way too many things and I wouldn't even know where to begin… but thank you for being here and being at our side through everything. I'm so proud of you and the amazing, one of a kind person that you are, and I wouldn't wanna share such a special moment with anyone else. — JEN
When it comes down to it, I think the best word to describe you would be a powerhouse. I’ve never met a woman in my life who works quite as fucking hard as you do -- and if not harder, then smarter, y’know? This past year I’ve spent getting to know you more and more, slowly wheedling you into opening up (motherfucker! We are Known in this house!) and sharing bits and pieces of myself, I’ve come to admire you just for who you are as a person. I’ve learned so much from you in standing my ground and not letting the wind blow me over. You’re funny and witty and sharp as a knife when it comes to your style of prose, and your love not just for Maeve and Paola but for the group shine through everything you do. You’ve held us all together like glue when we needed some extra assistance and let us know when we needed to pick things up, too. You’re open and honest with your feelings and I value that so much about you, knowing I can come to you and lay the cards down and ask your opinion on things and you’ll give it to me straight. I’ve never really had someone “at my back” in the sense of friendship, but oh man, Minnie, you make me feel safe, and I think you’ll know how much that means when I say it. -- JULIE
Oh, no, I’ve already been so embarrassing about how much I love you Minnie!! I suppose it’s only right I do it on main as well. I genuinely feel like I haven’t had another friend in my life who balances with me so well. When we’re united and on our peak shit, we complete each other, shoring up the places where we’re both insecure, making us both feel safer with each other nearby. I’ve written some of my favorite dynamics in RP with you, here at DV, and I don’t think I’d have grown half so much in my outside life or my rp life without you there to talk to. You are also the absolute rock of this team, to steal Jen’s words. When we’re all freaking out and afraid to act or worried about getting stuff wrong, you cut through everyone’s bullshit and get right to the heart of the matter. Your direct and straightforward way of speaking and of loving is a force for good in the world and on the team, and you are also maybe one of the funniest people alive, or at least in my acquaintance. I love your laugh, I love how open you are with your heart when you’re with us, I love you so very much. I want to write with you and talk to you for as long as you let me. — ROGUE
to twin-flame minnie, i wish you could see my face as i type this because this amount of vulnerability is making me like...ew. but minnie your soul resonates with me so much - never would i have ever thought in the time that we’ve known each other (it really did start with a conversation about glitter and then somehow just expanded from there and tbh i am not at all surprised) that i would bare myself to you as much as i have and felt completely and totally understood without having to say things in so many words. i cannot wait for the day when i can sweep you into my arms in a great big hug and i probably will cry when i do because i love you so much. there are too many things to love about you: from your signature giggle, to your ability to take on the world, to your conscientious growth as a person...you give me so much hope. and i don’t think it’s necessary to say anything more than that. i love you. -- ROSEY
ROGUE
When you first joined, you fit into the team so naturally, Rogue, it honestly felt as though you had always been a part of it. I remember being SHOOK AS FUCK at all the incredible things that you were doing in NO TIME, like, right from the start, you crafted the most amazing bios, offered the most rich and intriguing input for the plot, and helped us when it comes addressing issues and concerns in a way that made it all so much easier to tackle over time. Not to mention your sunny presence and the unconditional support that you offer, which never fail to brighten everything when we hit a bump in the road or things get a little tough. It's amazing to consider all that you've achieved and all the ways you've uplifted the team despite being with us for the least amount of time. In my eyes, you've always been with us, and I'm SO fucking proud of you and happy to be sharing all of this with you. Thank you for being a part of this team, and a part of this journey with me. — JEN
Maybe it’s a little cheesy to say, but I think the universe meant for us to meet, and having you on the team with us is a gift. We all mesh together so well and you pull things up out of nowhere on the fly, whether it be individual character plot development or actually writing The Most Iconic Plot Drop Of All Time(TM) and letting me tack on a little flourish at the end. You’re like... the cheese to my cracker, the whipped cream to my slice of pie, the biscuit with my coffee. We complete each other, and you listen to me when I really need to just word vomit all over the floor about something either entirely related or all too related, from time to time. I know if I need to call you anytime I can, and maybe my favorite memory of 2020 so far has been us watching Cats together and just suffering the entire time, but getting through it together. You’re funny, smart, endlessly endearing, work harder than the devil when it comes to threads and replies, and I’m grateful as all get out to have you with me in life!! -- JULIE
ROGUE, YOU REALLY CAME IN HERE AND SAID YEAH, I’M GOING TO SHAKE SHIT UP FROM DAY ONE. Whew, I remember one week you knocked out like four bios back-to-back and I just stood there trying to stop myself from booking a flight to your city and camping out in front of your house like the stan that I am. Sometimes, I still can’t believe there was a day you weren’t on the admin team because you not only fit seamlessly, but you also are just so essential now. Everything you’ve done in the few months since you joined our team, Rogue, has been *chef’s kiss* flawless. From the characters that I’m ANXIOUS to see on the dash to the ways you’ve helped guide our decisions and responses, I can’t imagine DiVerona and the admin team without you anymore! You brighten my day on a daily basis, and I love brainstorming with you, screaming with you, and I just love YOU! — MINNIE
to baby rogue, you see and know my True Sinner Nature rogue and the fact that you, in turn, have shared yours with me makes me feel so warm and bubbly inside - as well as makes me giggle. we really do have this habit of taking little smidgens of inspiration and connections and growing them into something extraordinary. geeking out about anything and everything within that encyclopedic brain of yours is one of my favorite things - our late night conversations, watching cursed together, plucking characters and plots from each other’s names as if they were already written in the stars...i dont know how to live without. there are so many things that i love about you: how you want to make everyone feel seen, how inclusive you are and kind, how you foster such creativity to others...i love and treasure you so very much. and we have so many more characters and worlds to explore together. -- ROSEY
ROSEY
I don’t think I'll ever forget the day that you asked me if I'd like to be an admin and offered me a spot on the team. It was just you, me and Bree back then and I was way in over my head, but you made me feel at home without even trying, honestly. DV is my first longstanding admin experience and truly the best one I've ever had, and it’s all thanks to you, which is something that I'll always cherish and keep close to my heart. I've looked up to you, learned a lot from you and felt inspired by you over the years, not just because everything was so new to me at the start, but because you're a guiding light for anyone who's lucky enough to have you in their life and share with you the experiences that I have. I'm so incredibly proud of everything we've done together, and proud of you most of all. Thank you for being the one to bring me along for this amazing journey, Rosey, and thank you for going through it with me for two amazing, unforgettable years. — JEN
I think, sometimes, that people think I’m joking when I tell them you saved my life, Rosey Ro, but you did, in a way that I would never have guessed. I felt utterly alone, coming fresh out of a physically and mentally abusive relationship, juggling court dates and other things that seemed impossible to conquer. I’d left Diverona unsure of my present, what I’d considered my past, and my future, but I happened to log into Discord one day and came upon that good ole’ 9+ messages notification. All of them were from you. Every single one. It felt like a sign, of some kind, and so, as I scraped my life together, we chatted and I re-apped for DV, and in spite of tumultuous times on both our ends, I don’t regret a fucking minute of it. You have truly helped me in figuring out who I am as an individual person, where I fit in the world, and with every crisis and “OH SHIT” moment, you’ve been there for me, whether it was in your writing, your jokes, late night calls with you, messages over Whatsapp knee-deep in irritation or excitement. You’re the older sister I never got to have. Without Diverona, my life wouldn’t be the same. Without you, my life wouldn’t be the same. I love you so much. -- JULIE
How far we’ve come since we talked about Greek life parties and glitter… Rosey, my sister sign and my mirror, the mother to my father, I love you very much. Your creativity is – as we all can tell from DiVerona’s success – UNMATCHED, and your heart goes even deeper than I think most people realize. For someone who writes some of the scariest and evilest characters, you are one of the most considerate, thoughtful and empathetic people I’ve yet to meet. Thank you for creating this space and reminding us time and time again that we’re more than just admins; we’re individuals with Big Feelings as well as Big Brains. You did an amazing job, Rosey. It doesn’t get said enough, and if I could, I would tattoo it to your brain if it meant it would stick: you created a beautiful group, and no one can take that away from you. — MINNIE
Rosey, Rosey, Rosey. All of this is your fault. I never thought I would join any kind of mafia RP, always having been prone to more fantastical settings in my preferences, but when you asked me to look around at the bios, how could I say no? How could I have known it would entirely change my life? Before DV and in DV, you and I have written some of my favorite relationships to work on, some of my favorite threads of all time. You pull out such creativity from me that I never would’ve imagined existed in my brain. I love you such a ridiculous amount. I could, would, and do talk to you about anything and everything. I want to spend like 50 years of my life fighting with you over whether Hope from Legacies is hot and indulging in our weird shared white boy thirsts. You are so funny, so talented, so bright, so interesting and I don’t know how I got so lucky as to be your friend. If you and I aren’t writing together when we’re 80 it’s because I died early and tragically and you wore a sexy fascinator to my funeral. — ROGUE
