when did you join ? what made you join ? what do you remember from the plotlines that were current at the time ? where were you in life when you joined and where are you now ?
i think it was julien in august 2019. not a very successful run because it was one of those periods when absolutely everyone connected with his plot was on hiatus shortly after, and my activity fizzled out because the dash had dried up too. i joined because jude asked me to. i was picking my life out back then and now i almost have my phd, and see patients for group counselling regularly.
which characters have you written over the years ?
julien, kiara, elias, ahana, tekla, vera
what is your favourite plotline that you've been part of ?
this is going to sound crazy, but that big group thread in farnauld's early days ! you could really see how people handled different situations and how they presented themselves.
what about other people's plotlines ?
every milvente thread had me hooked, but i also specifically adored the way j wrote ines, she was so perfectly delicate, yet not fragile. i loved that about her. and the russians, i loved the entire dynamic there, how split they really were, but no one, except maybe kaspar towards the end, really ever got to know how bad it really was. i also genuinely loved meixu's plots with such a range of characters (i know two of them are jude, but it's hard to imagine kaspar and nadya being written by the same person), i swear i am not only saying this (as i am realising now) because she dies early. did jude and serre plan this? do meixu and nadya die together? what are we missing? i was half expecting her to have a bad bitch transformation later on in life, but c'est la vie i guess.
who is your favourite character from the ones you've played ? why ? what made you love them ? what made them so fun to write ?
it's really really so hard for me to pick just one. kiara was the most fun to write of course, but it was hard to keep her long term. ahana would have been so much more interesting than she seemed had we, as all the muns behind india, been less tired all the time to really pull together all the complex things we'd plotted. tekla came naturally to me, i have no idea why, and i adore her, but my biggest soft spot is with elias. i think he was the character i was the most careful with, i reflected the most with him and really dug deep and explored themes i had never had to before. he was one character who really straddled dialectic tensions the most, and it was really interesting to see it play out in threads.
if you could relive a plotline, which would it be ?
viani wedding was genuinely so fun. i know i was only a stand-in for the original vera, but it felt so nice to be part of that nostalgia everyone was always talking about, for a short while. there are also... a lot of gifs of sharon stone taking off her footwear/pressing the pad of her foot... just saying. every single time kiara antagonised ebba just because she could. i won't lie it fed an evil little part of me. tekla and thore's chaotic era, that was also fun.
is there a plotline that you'd edit now if you could ?
i'm sure there is, but i can't think of any at the moment <3
what's a plotline you wish you would have been able to finish before closing or just write more of ?
i think i had a lot of false starts with julien. it's always going to be a regret that i didn't do more with him because he was the character i did the most character building work on (besides elias). i was very proud of the end result after i'd first apped for him. he was probably in the best spot to be developed when i first brought him, and when i revived him again, i was busier, and i couldn't quite devote the time to expanding his connections and the atmosphere around the french was quite set already. i also never posted the wc for his partner even though jude and martha reminded me a million times.
what is your favourite ooc memory ?
when karyna asked kaspar if he wants a mint. iykyk
where can others find you if they want to get in touch ?
discord
what else would you like to say ?
i am a lot newer than most of you, but it's been a privilege ! special mention to isa, it's been such an amazing experience being the tekla to your fanni, i'm sorry we didn't get more time ! you wrote with such rawness i wish i could absorb that all day still. hailee thank you for the wc, because without it i wouldn't have this (and also jude, who gave me the music without which i would have never pulled the trigger and decided to apply for tekla), and nora, you made me laugh ooc sometimes and your ic energy was unmatched. & martha, valias is honestly one of my favourite ships i have ever been a part of, which is saying a lot because i have never been one enjoy writing ships. last but not least, e, evy, & j. you guys are rockstars for how long this went on! you must be so proud, and this is bittersweet, i'm happy to have been a part of it.
