THE BIG EASY RP WEEK 2016 [day four] ↳ plot that you are proud of (yours)

The New Orleans Royals est. 1999

this was actually a year that was pretty easy for me to pick a plot i’m proud of. i’m going to be fucked next year if plot is an option for tbeweek20.  anyway,  i love everything that i do on the big easy but this one holds a special place for me. which may be in part because i’m canadian and this is hockey but god i’m proud of where elle and i started with this and where these hockey hunks (as i label them in every group thread, look at them and tell me i’m wrong) have ended up.  one of the things i love about it is how realistic it feels, new orleans is a football city, its home to my favourite football team after all.  and we could have made the royals something to rival the saints but i think that would have taken some of the magic away from this whole team. the members of the team know this but it does not stop them from playing their hearts out for their city, for the fans they know they have and for themselves. 

boy did they do that this year.  i got to play through the end of their season last year where the team got to the third round of playoffs loosing out before making it to the final round and my poor boy was devastated.  not only did he miss out on a chance for the cup but he’d missed out on going for gold at the olympics, it was a rough year.  this year though they win the cup, with an impressive record coming out of the regular season but its not easy for them.  they only swept one round, the other three have gone to five, six or seven games.  the scores are close, they play hard and they stay true to who they are as a team.

we’ve got an entire first line of players, the forwards, the defence, the man in the net.  we’ve got a captain who parents the team, a player that takes it upon himself to make sure everyone is doing okay like the grandfather he is. we’ve got jokesters, protectors, a golden boy of great character.  and someone that makes them look damn good on social media who is still made to feel like a part of the team.  they are a brotherhood. they all have their own lives, highs and lows, they’re going through different situations with their personal and love lives.  they are a complex group of men, and interesting group.  they have even garnered a little bit of a fanbase and i’m so pleased with that!  i love how they rally around their team mates (shout out to #playwithpride and vince taking a stand, don’t get even get me started on that brilliance because damn!)

i think what i’m also proud of is what goes on behind the scenes that makes this work.  they have a goal song, thunderstruck.  they have an instagram account run by gabriel (haley) who came up with my favourite hashtag ever.  the graphics for the team and score templates are all elle and they’re utterly fantastic.  i created an entire schedule based off the actual nhl schedule fitting in royals games so we know when the team is in new orleans and when they’re somewhere else, when they have free days and when they have game days.  every member of the group accommodates that, works it into their characters and what they’ve got going on, which goes back to giving it that realistic feel i mentioned.

i’ll also forever be grateful the royals gifted me tomas, i love and adore him so much.  he might actually be me if i was a hockey player. i also get to live vicariously through one of my characters being involved with a hockey player which i’m 99.9% sure is the canadian dream ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

THE BIG EASY RP WEEK 2019 [day four] ↳ Plot that you are proud of (yours) → the nicodian fight

i had a really hard time with this one. i listed out all of my plots and groaned about how all the things i have planned are yet to come. having only been on tbe for a little over 6 months means all my plots are still basically in the baby stages. in the end i felt like it was between this and jay’s car crash plot, but since i couldn’t let her steal all the spotlights the nicodian fight won out.

this storm has been brewing since before these two were even made. they met new years eve and everything has basically gone downhill from there with nico ending up in the hospital near death. this isn’t even the half of what’s coming for these two, but i love and am proud of the development it’s given their ship and seabstian’s character from the start.

THE BIG EASY RP WEEK 2020 [day four]

↳ best written ship (someone else’s)  → #JUDY

JAMES mcknight x PRUDENCE mcknight

JUDY my loves, my favs.  but i did not just pick them because of all of that, i picked them because they are such a well written ship year after year after year.  i’ve loved judy since the first thread i accidentally stumbled on before i was even really a member of the site.  i follow judy threads religiously and even if i miss a post or two its fine because i catch up.  i knew from the first thread that i eventually wanted to have threads with them as characters and i guess elle and haley as a result 😉 😘 a goal i have accomplished and in ways that are not just one off threads.  

look i don’t even know where to start with judy or elle and haley’s way of writing them but you really are missing out if you don’t read judy or you don’t read james and prudy threads separate from one another. they are multidimensional. they are solid characters on their own but they are a powerhouse together. #powercouple.  they are one of those couples where if you know the characters, you might not expect them to work as a couple but oh my god do they work as a couple. they feel real.  they are solid.  which means that you get real life situations with judy along with real ways of actually dealing with it.  and watching a well written ship work through their problems over multiple threads is like a gift.  they’re new parents, they’re newly married (fuck yeah my ship got married and not only that but i scored myself an invite x3 next level shipping right here.).  BUT they’re also on different sides of the law even though prudy looks like she straddles that line more than not. and that was something that was tackled this year and it was very well done.  and this is a dynamic that i like. opposites attract, light and dark.  what i feel makes them a best written ship though is the fact that they are opposites but elle and haley never compromise james or prudy to make a story or a plot work. they stick to their guns with their characters which makes for engaging and emotional treads.  they put me on the edge of my seat at times, they make me laugh.

i think i tell haley and elle at least once a month that they better not sink my ship. i can’t wait for the things that elle and haley have for judy in the next year but i know whatever it is i’m going to enjoy it no matter what emotional response it brings out of me.  

pls continue to feed my addiction for years.
